Hornswaggle is an alternate spelling of hornswoggle, an archaic word that means to bamboozle or hoodwink. I take my pronunciation from the late Harvey Korman in "Blazing Saddles" -- "I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, conmen, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists!" |

Thursday, September 17, 2009Back from NevadaHubert Keller was on my Virgin America flight back to San Francisco. I was tempted to send him a seat-to-seat message saying, "For today's Quickfire Challenge, you must create an amuse-bouche using only the ingredients in the galley." But I didn't have the balls, plus it's kind of a lame joke and I didn't want to risk insulting a man on whom, based on his appearance on "Top Chef Masters," I've developed a major mancrush, as my wife will attest. .: posted by hornswaggler 8:44 PM| |
