From wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goober_Peas

The lyrics of "Goober Peas" are a fairly accurate description of daily
life during the last few years of the Civil War for Southerners. After
being cut off from the rail lines and their farm land, they had little
to eat aside from boiled peanuts (or "goober peas") which often served
as an emergency ration, especially in Georgia.

Aha - welll, I was aware there was only one Trimobian Pavilion, not a
RADP pavilion. So, if you're running the RADP Pavilion in the MK,
then, there is no worry. Ping is still working on the Trimobian
Pavilion and all is good in that world. I was afraid of a another
six-sided dimensional moment going askew...

Askew what?

Askew a question and give me an answer! ;)

"Sigh..love them bad jokes...

All the best for now...gotta dive back through the shrubbery and get
on back to Trimobia.

They are still served in Georgia. All over the place there are
folks selling them from the side of roads and not just in the
rural areas either. And you can get them canned too.

Still blech to me. Lisa

Hey! I buy a bag of raw peanuts every time I'm though Georgia just to
boil 'em up when I get home.

Boiled peanuts. Mmmmm....
