Variation on a meme theme

As seen at the brilliant, beautiful, and resilient Russian Violets, here's a fun and telling little game/meme:

The Rules:

1. Go into your archive.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Post your sentence in the comments here.

And here it is: "Sliced dill pickles, cucumbers soaked in vinegar or green tomato relish is a must."

Here the link to my post, "Fried chicken and watermelon," from Aug. 22, 2004.

Pretty nifty.

"It was a God moment -- my ears were open and His voice spoke to me."

"And I thought that yeah, pretty much everyone throughout history who has made a career of Christ-pimping has been some roaring asshole who is about as far from neighbor-loving as one can be-Quit talking about it; start acting like it."

"A small Cessna aircraft breached the security zone over Washington, several law enforcement officials said, prompting alerts across the city."

By the way-the original post from which that's taken has nothing to do with religion whatsoever. It concerns the time where I was the only straight writer for a queer paper, early '90's, and concerns Intolerance amongst the supposedly-tolerant ones.
 
Well, mine had nothin' to do with pickles, either. ;-) ... Off to test a Yankee boy's beef-eating prowess ...

Actually, this here is my favorite line from that thing:
"Pretty much everyone who had attacked me (and by now, there were lots of them) had been an academic, politico or at least someone who was not spending their evenings covered with fiberglass and asbestos. Folks who were accusing me of upholding the male stereotype and its attendant privilege, who were all operating at a much higher pay scale than me. I decided that I was, in fact, going to make a very pointed suggestion as to how to run The Revolution."
Awright. You go teach that boy how to hog swallow. Cheers.
 
"It is a somewhat transparent and arbitrary process reflecting how randomly many book awards are chosen, reviews written and bestseller lists compiled." 2/19/05
