BBQ GOOD!

Chicken.....mmmmm.......
Burger.....mmmmm........
Shrimp.....mmmmm........
Kielbasa.....mmmmm.......

This reminds me of the one time when I was in my old gaming group... We had made plans to set up BBQ, laminate our character sheets, and game in my swimming pool. Of course we never got around to it.

Angcuru: Dear Sweet God, can you imagine RakeRon, Ricky, and me in a swimming pool?

I'd rather read(and play) FATAL.

SPANDEX BAAAADD!!

Or we can get some of those pills that take the fat out of anything you eat, and slip them into his pepsi when he isn't looking. Eventually he should loose the girth!

I cleaned off my grill yesterday and swept the patio. I'm thinking that I'll do up some carne asada before the game next Saturday. An ice chest full of Pacifico and carne asada. Mmmmm....

Tempting offer, but we're not available today. PC, the next time that we are coming down to your house (or if you plan to be in my neck of the woods) please remind me to give you some lamb meat from our back yard flock. The meat from our grain and corn fed critters tends to taste much better than what you pick up in the local supermarket.

What do you mean?

From wordorigins.org ...

Barbecue

This American contribution to international cuisine actually originated in the Caribbean, and the word comes to us via Spanish from its Indian roots. The original sense of barbecue is that of a raised, wooden (later metal) framework used for either sleeping upon or curing meats. The Indians of Guiana called it a babracot and the Haitians a barbacoa. The Spanish evidently acquired the Haitian word and it came into English from the Spanish.

The earliest English cite, used for a sleeping platform, is from 1697. By 1733 the word was being used for an open-air, social gathering featuring the grilling of meat.

Barbecue has one false etymology that is commonly promulgated on the Internet and elsewhere. It is claimed that it comes from the French barbe (beard) and queue (tail); the idea being that an entire pig is roasted, from head, or beard, to tail. This is simply not true.
