Menudo Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I don't know what this thread is about, but, I do think that despite the Super Bowl officiating not being perfect, the Seahawks didn't do enough to win the game. They need look no further than themselves to find blame for why they don't have the lombardi trophy. Also, Bushwacked is a Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonehand Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) I for one love it! I have no doubt it annoys the heck out of most huddlers who are fans of the other 30 teams in the NFL, but prior to this offseason, the only thing we 'Hawk fans had to respond to were the usual comments about "How badly the (Seahags/Seachickens/Your slanderous monicker here) suck". Now we have, dare I say it? a RIVALRY! Edited April 27, 2006 by Bonehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon Cornelius Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 These pretzels are making me thirsty. 1439627[/snapback] TRIVIAL TOPICS Tale of a Twist Pretzels -- crispy, crunchy, crackly little morsels of salty goodness. Tortured, twisted, tangy strips of golden glazed bread dough. Where did they originate? Why their strange shape? The word, pretzel, comes from the Latin word, "pretiola," which means little rewards, little gifts, or little prayers. Pretzels had their humble beginning in a monastery kitchen in southern Europe some time between the fifth and seventh centuries, when a monk in charge of baking unleavened Lenten bread wanted to find a way to use the leftover strips of dough. Surely they can be used for something, he thought, crossing two thin strips of dough on the floured bread board before him. He twisted and shaped the strips until they looked like arms crossed in prayer. The custom of prayer at the time called for a person's arms to be crossed on his chest with his hands resting on his shoulders. The monk's "praying arms" were an instant success, not only among the monks, but among the children of the area, to whom they were given as rewards for learning their prayers. Pretzels retained their religious significance as their popularity spread throughout Europe. They were a common alms offering during Lent, and the three holes were said to represent the Blessed Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. They even found their way into the coffins of the dead, in place of jewels and valuables laid to rest with their owners. During the early 1500s, the city of Vienna, now in Austria, was under siege by the Ottoman Turks. Thwarted in their efforts to penetrate the walled city, the Turks started tunneling beneath its walls under cover of night. The bakers, who also worked at night, began hearing strange noises in their cellars, and uncovered the Turkish plot. When the authorities had been alerted, the two groups fought a fierce battle in the tunnels. A grateful emperor awarded the pretzel bakers of Vienna an honorary coat of arms, thus elevating the lowly pretzel to the status of royalty. In addition, a 17th century woodcut, copied from the stained glass window of a cathedral in Bern, Switzerland, depicts a pretzel as the marriage knot in a wedding ceremony between two people of royalty and their families. Wishing on a pretzel, like wishing on a chicken bone, became a common marriage custom. Once the pretzel was broken and the lucky winner had made a wish, the couple ate it. Early settlers brought their pretzel recipes to America, where they soon found favor with the Indians. In 1652, a court case was brought against a pretzel baker and his wife in Beverwyck, New York. The town's citizenry charged that the baker was using his finest flour to make sugar buns, cookies, and pretzels for the Indians, while using inferior ingredients in their own baked goods.
