okie2 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Bought a couple of Cabs of these last year. Wonderful smokes that are true to their heritage in taste and performance. Seemed that every time I was enjoying one I would have this ditty pop into my head as I was trying to discern a particular taste. "Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread." Ran a search on Google for "shortning bread" and found this rendition. Kind of cool, and I think my Mom use to sing this to me when I was a little guy. SHORT'NIN' BREAD Plantation Song Written By: Unknown Copyright Unknown Put on the skillet, Slip on the lid, Mama's gonna make Some short'nin' bread. That ain't all She's gonna do, Mama's gonna make A little coffee, too. Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread, Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread. Three little children, Lyin' in bed Two were sick And the other 'most dead Sent for the doctor And the doctor said, "Give those children some Short'nin' bread." Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread, Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread. Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread, Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread. When those children, Sick in bed, Heard that talk About short'nin' bread, Popped up well To dance and sing, Skipped around and cut The pigeon wing. Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread, Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread. Slip to the kitchen, Slip up the led, Filled my pockets full of Short'nin' bread; Stole the skillet, Stole the led, Stole the gal makin' Short'nin' bread. Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread, Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread. Caught me with the skillet, Caught me with the led, Caught me with the gal makin' Short'nin' bread; Paid six dollars for the skillet, Paid Six dollars for the led, Spent six months in jail eatin' Short'nin' bread. Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread, Mama's little baby loves Short'nin', short'nin', Mama's little baby loves Short'nin' bread. Whew!! Lots more than I ever knew!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken, it's probably not a coincidence. Keep in mind that our brains are, in effect, incredibly sophisticated receivers. We can "tune in" to a broad range of stimuli, at various frequencies and distances. Investigators in the field of ESP have been able to reliably demonstrate that many people can beat "chance" in a variety of tests. The great psychologist Carl Jung posed a concept he called "Synchonicity" to describe events which are temporally related, but in which neither "causes" the other. From Wikipedia: Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally inexplicable to the person or persons experiencing them. The events would also have to suggest some underlying pattern in order to satisfy the definition of synchronicity as originally developed by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Carl Jung coined the word to describe what he called "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." Jung variously described synchronicity as an "'acausal connecting principle'" (i.e. a pattern of connection that cannot be explained by direct causality), "meaningful coincidence" and "acausal parallelism". Jung introduced the concept in his 1952 paper "Synchronicity — An Acausal Connecting Principle", though he had been considering the concept for almost thirty years.[1] It differs from mere coincidence in that synchronicity implies not just a happenstance, but an underlying pattern or dynamic expressed through meaningful relationships or events.
