Barfoot, pregnint n’ tendin’ the jerky. The next Miss Amurica.
(note: above dialect used by John Kerry when he went duck huntin’).
Lamby would like to help the man cook his turkey jerky.
The English language is fraught with danger. The least slip in that sentence could get you in sooooo much trouble.

I’m not quite sure what you have in mind with this Tobacco Roadish scenario. It’s too cold out to go barefoot, the chances of my being pregnant or Miss America are equally remote. The jerky I’m tending is turkey jerky, not duck jerky. What the heck are you on about dude? 
Interesting. I’ve made Jerky a few times. No problems. Little mess.
Now I’m considering making my own kahula for Christmas.
Spelling can also be fraught with danger.
djm
Oh. I see. You thought I was talking about the coffee/vanilla stuff.
No. I meant Kahula. Sort of like Hula but without the hoop.
Please enlighten me:
Kahlua - commercial Mexican coffee liqueur
Kahula - homemade take-off of kahlua?
Thx,
djm
I’m equally stymied. Must be a California thing…
WTF is kahula? Is it Hawaiian? Now, my buddy made some Kahlúa
once. Turns out it was cheaper and easier to buy it, but it was pretty good.
I’m still trying to figure out what
Sort of like Hula but without the hoop.
would mean.
Play with a hoola-hoop. Now remove the hoop, while continuing to
make the motion. Put on a Ukelele record. That’s it.
Okay, hmmm,…so then “kahula” is like that, right?
Okay, here’s where I’m getting stuck.
Is it,
Kahula = Hula - hoop,
Kahula - Hula = -hoop,
Ka = -hoop
or is it,
Kahula = Hulahoop - hoop
Kahula = Hula,
Ka = 0, ?
And what does it mean exactly?
Oh. I see. You thought I was talking about the coffee/vanilla stuff.
No. I meant Kahula. Sort of like Hula but without the hoop.
Cynth, examine the above closely and think about the hula.
The hula is a dance, which is done without the hoop (originally). Unless you want to count one of those cool grass skirts as a hoop, which I don’t think you do.
So, when that was adapted to the game, a hoop was added, the hoop being a hula-hoop.
If Kahula is sort of like hula, but without the hoop, then we can surmise that “ka” is a prefix meaning “less than,” so that Kahula is less than hula. It is, therefore, a little hula. A less-than-fully-swishy hula. A hula for those who are aged, or infirm, or otherwise suffering from chronic sacroiliac dysfunction.
The ka-hula. Kahula.
If you think about this long enough, you’ll realize I’m correct.
How’d today’s jerky come out, by the way?
Okay, I think I get it. This girl can’t really
do the full hula because she is busy playing
the uke and singing. So she is doing the Kahula.
That makes sense. I think. The fact that she
has no toes might also enter into it.
No jerky today, but yesterday’s turned out much better!
That’s right Cynth. You’ve got the idea.
fearfaoin’s explanation it in laymans terms coupled with Lambchop’s brilliant linguistic analysis demonstrated clearly the meaning which you then percieved with your own keen insight.
Actually, I got dyslexic on the word Kahlua but decided to try to cover myself and befuddle djm at the same time with my plucky zany antics.
But that’s not the reason I came to this thread.
This reminds me of something that will only make sense to those who
have read Stephen King’s Dark Tower books.
Roland: Ka.
Eddie: Ka-ka.
This was the reason I came to the thread.
So…you’re saying that all a guy would have to do is be kind and loving and a companion and you’d be interested in his hobbies? That’s it? Just like that? What’s the catch?
Oh, darn. Plucked again. 
Man, you just don’t get it, do you? 
djm
Umm, sort of. Yeah. I think so.
The catch? I’m not sure.
Oh, you mean what’s wrong with ME? THAT catch?
I think maybe they think they already are all those things and women aren’t interested in their hobbies. So your deal sounds too good to be true given how interesting mens’ hobbies usually are. I mean, Lamby, you could end up gutting a deer or something! Or cleaning squirrels–don’t eat the brains by the way, you could get that spongiform brain disease. Could you really be interested in deer hunting? Or rebuilding motorcyles?
Or, it may be that they think that being kind and loving and a good companion should get more than just an interest in their hobbies and so it is sort of saying like, whoa, there’s a deal, in a sort of sarcastic way.
Or it might just mean how could you automatically be interested in something just because someone you love is? What if his hobby just isn’t interesting to you, even if you love him? Like making jerky?
