I didn’t need that sign to know they’re one short of a load.
You can come to dinner… if you bring dinner.
Why does anybody come to their house at all?
I guess the Shemps do it because they’re almost equally rude, selfish and repugnant.
Inside their little circle, which includes Verl and Jerry, and I suppose even Ma Darwin, they can all pretend not to know that they’re otherwise social outcasts.
Everyone needs a group that makes them feel accepted, however unacceptable other groups may find them.
The eye is easy to see… I bet it’s tired of seeing the Pennys.
After looking into this a bit, it seems he has a very good point. To begin, most people have never tasted yams. They may have been sold yams at the grocery store, but they were in actuality sweet potatoes. The tastes are distinctive as well…Sweet potatoes are flavorful and moist while yams are often starchy and dry. Finally, yams have rough, dark skin with an almost hairy texture, and are typically larger and can be up to five feet long!
Burl will actually eat most anything if it’s swimming in maple syrup. (Not that he’s ever tasted real maple syrup. They buy only maple flavored sugar water. They’re picky. They only buy things with high fructose corn syrup. None of that low fructose stuff for them.)
Real yams would be a hard sell in all but some ethnic groceries. Appearance alone – they look like yuccas. The story is that the Louisiana sweet potato growers wanted to make their product distinct and started calling them yams. It’s not only here that other things are called yams. I suspect it was mostly where slaves were brought and called anything similar by the name of their familiar yams. The sweet potato is an American native, so it was waiting for them when they arrived. But yams are somewhat awkward to harvest and store properly, and are very like sweet potatoes nutritionally but with almost no sugar. Not bad, but not sweet.

and you’ll need an elegant red wine to go with dinner… say a Manischewitz Concord or a Mogen David blend…?

Yams ain’t sweet potatoes. One’s a tuber (sw p, I believe), the other a root.

A yam is a sweet potato, but a sweet potato is not a yam. At least that’s basically what I found on dictionary.com.
