Barbecue Season...



i was asked if i thought that the girls on DOND was chauvinistic. maybe it is with the "hi howie". to be honest i never thought about it, i just like the retarded people who don't take a good thing via greed. anyway, i got this e-mail and thought it was fitting for chauvinism. althought it is almost true, i do get the meat ready and i put the alcohol down long enough to know that my meat is on fire (hello, i am a man and should know about my meat):

After four long months of cold and winter, finally spring arrives and with it, BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking ritual as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine:
1. The woman buys the food.
2. The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
3. The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
Here comes the important part:
4. THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine:
5. The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
6. The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.
Important again:
7. THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine:
8. The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table.
9. After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
10. Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
11. The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing her!

Who doesn't love DOND? Monday I'll let you know which case the home game cash is in on the East coast, so you can avoid it out there.

ok. i try for that stupid 10g every time. although i am too cheap to do it via text... i get on line and do it for free.

RW-(the original) said...

I try it via the web site too, but I think it just throws away my entries. It claims you can enter ten times, but nothing stops you from entering as much as you want.

My goal is really just to know all the models by name anyway.

mgc said...

that is quite a noble goal.

what are you doing up this late? isn't it after 1 am in geogia?

mgc said...

georgia. i really shouldn't drink three nights in a row. what else is there to do when one is away from home for 13 days straight? my bison burger was good too and the fat tire amber ale. i even went to the brewery today. maybe i will post about that.

georgia, georgia...

I tend to be a night owl anyway, but the Braves are also playing in San Francisco tonight.

I mean I'm studying darnit. Tomeka is case 21, Layla is case 13 (but wasn't Wednesday), Claudia is case 1, not to mention the Price is Right...see how well I'm doing!

mgc said...

mgc said...

It's the super-secret comment notification and random response generator system.

That and keeping a few windows open.

mgc said...

ok. how do you put those links in your comments? i wanted to make that DOND model page be a link, but i do not know how. can you explain?

RW-(the original) said...

If the first line of this page makes sense it's the way to do it.

So the DOND model page would look like this.

mgc said...

thanks. i will try and learn. old people are sometimes slow.

RW-(the original) said...

mgc,

That instruction works pretty well with the exception that they tell you to go http://URL. Usually when you copy the URL you already have the http:// so just drop in the URL you copied at 10:39 between the "'s.

Now that the Braves have vanquished the Giants it's off to bed. Good luck with the links.

I dont know if you ever watch Saturday Night Live, but they had the FUNNIEST skit about Deal or No Deal. Cracked me up and made me think of you and your posts.

mgc said...

ok michael, don't post... lazy man!

it's not flat tire it is FAT TIRE and it is wonderful!

Unknown said...

I had a couple of glasses of wine in me, so excuse the typos.

mgc,

OK..The East Coast show had the 10G's in case # 1. Now you have to decide to go with or avoid it.

mgc said...

the 10G's was in case 4 over here. thanks for trying though.

My husband doesn't even know how to turn on the grill.

He can however make a mean pot of chili.

By the way, the models rotate so memorizing their numbers will get you no where.

You don't really think 26 shallow, vain women would agree to having the same six up front every show do you?

In this age of shifting gender roles, I'm glad that someone had the courage to lay down the law when it comes to the preparing of burnt offerings. The BBQ is one of the last surviving Manly Arts. Keep the flame!
