Since the football season is over and we are in that in-between time of the year. Spring is around the corner. What do people do now since hunting season is over....
But wait. It is over but it is not. The mind of a hunter is never far from the thought of deer and a sight of a deer stand! Here is what I heard just the other day.
"I can not drive on I-80 because it is very dangerous...not because it is a highway and it has a large number of trucks. It is just that I look for the tree-stands along the highway on both sides. I look for deer while I am driving. If I spot a deer, I look for the antlers on that deer. It is very distracting driving on I-80." - Anonymous Homo Centralicus

Soupie bowl
No. It is not a Super bowl, it is a soupie bowl. That is right. Unique to the area, soupie is an item that is cherished and enjoyed through out the year.
Definition of a soupie according to the Coal Speak dictionary: short for "Soppressatta", which in Southern Italian dialect is pronounced SOO-BRA-SAHD. It's a sausage similar to salami, usually made with pork, lemon peel and spices. Soppressatta means "compressed". Soupies are pig intestines stuffed with meat and spices (like sausage), then tossed into a vat of olive oil and cured. Very popular in Kulpmont. They are called "soupresat" in South Philadelphia. Can also be made with venison.
