RANT: *paloozalizing everything
Posted: September 17 08, 9:59 am
This is starting to really irk me. The bastardization of everything. Verbs into nouns. Nouns into verbs. Dogs and cats living together.
Pol-a-palooza - go vote
Learn-a-palooza - knowledge fest (?)
volley-palooza - south beach 'nuf said
ooza-palooza - kid's party place
It's a word... not a compound word. The palooza portion of lollapalooza isn't the operative portion, numbnuts.
Lollapalooza
noun
Definition:
wonderful thing: something that or somebody who is particularly wonderful and impressive or an outstanding example of something (informal)
[Early 20th century.]
So don't ruin the majesty which is
Don't worry, I'm still going.

by calling it a freaking Porkapalooza!2 P.M.: Eastern American Barbecue & smokehouse
Sample the lesser know (but chef’s favorite) Carolina and Appalachian style barbecue. Providence and Creswick Farms pork shoulder, ribs, and loin will be hot smoked and “mopped” with a tangy vinegar and mustard sauce, foregoing tomatoes. Served with skillet cornbread, kohlrabi & apple slaw with a traditional Southern boiled dressing, and baked beans with Tennessee air dried ham.
5 P.M.: Luau
A few days before, several drunken men will dig a coffin sized hole in the ground and line it with field stones. Early Porkapalooza morning, these same still drunken men will light a very large and dangerous fire in said hole. When it has burned down to coals, we will lower in a 75 pound hog from Providence Farm which has been wrapped in banana leaves and burlap and bury it under about three feet of earth. After several hours, god willing, a tender luau pig will emerge, served with gingered sweet potatoes and pineapple sticky rice.
8 P.M.: La Caja China
A Cuban native watched the Chinese who came to the island to help build the railroads cook their lunch in large, metal lined wood boxes topped with a bed of coals. After just a few short hours, a juicy, perfectly cooked pig would emerge with impossibly crispy skin. Enough said. Our Providence Farm pig will be marinated in garlic mojo and served with roasted pumpkin and raw sweet onions in oil and vinegar.
