*shuffles in, pours Becherovka*

ok, so, note to self:

don't put chicken in the bbq, then, start playing with your new laptop and setting it up.

With your professional skills, I imagine you could easily make one of those big black monoliths?

Just reprogram it with one of your larger hammers.

[Elliot]

Did Dave try something like that with HAL? It's been a while. No, those "brain" modules had to be slowly extracted, one by one.

[FIGJAM]

Yeah, but I thought Ludites LIKED older technology.

as it happens, I have some big black monoliths........

yeah FJ.......but he may not let me at them......

[Box Burner]

Round of drinks for all...



I'm home again.

[ygmir]

takes a drink and raises it to BB:

good for you, Pal..........moving forward, and all........

Skoll!!

[Box Burner]

Well Hopefully so. But it is good. Got some fixin' up to do before winter sets in.

[Elliot]

Yeah, but I thought Ludites LIKED older technology.

Come to think of it, were there not Stone Age people at the beginning of the film? Or maybe that was a different sci-fi film. It's all good.

[Elorrum]

ygmir, that chicken answers the question of "what is the color when black is burned?" You are lucky that was an outside event... when it's on the stove in the house, the smoke alarm alerts you that your computer fix is taking too fucking long, same results though as far as dinner goes. o.k. that's a story for another time.

BB, Elliot, Figjam, nice to see you all as well.

[MyDearFriend]

Good morning all!!!

*starts ECM* *warms cup for Elorrum*

Yggy, I'm sorry about your supper. I hope you found something else to eat.

Box Burner, best wishes for the fixing-upping!

[Bob]

It takes a tough man to make a chicken tinder.

[ygmir]

*wanders in, fills NEKKID* thanks MDF.......hahaha yeah, I dug down through the charcoal, to some pretty tasty meat in that lump of fowl coal.

dang, missed Elorrum.......but yeah, that chicken was black.......but I did remember (had learned but forgotten) a rule of open fire BBQ slow cooking/baking: keep the food a long way from the flame..........seems simple enough but I sure did forget.

haha Bob.....it truly is chicken tinder, pure carbon on the outside, but moist, pink and meaty on the inside, (shakes head, dang mind, so at least made one good meal.

[Elorrum]

Morning. Thanks for the cup of coffee, MDF. I like it on the cool side since I got a late (look at alarm clock and see work starts in two minutes) start this morning. Seriously, everyone tries to throw out my cold coffee: "I'm drinking that!"

Ygmir, it was a revelation to me when I had grown, that bbq chicken was not exactly like that. My poor Dad tried the "fuck it up, and they won't ask again" approach to barbeque for years, and we still had him cook for us. Wings were total charcoal.

[ygmir]

He Elorrum!! thanks for the anecdote...I feel better.

are you going to S.F. decom? Magic Marty is trying to get an impromptu eplaya meet up there, might be fun?
Looneytune and I will be going, I have a meeting there, for debriefing, at noon.

Morning Gang!

I Completely agree!
Nothing starts the morning off wrong than scolding your tongue!
I get weird looks at gas stations when I grab a coffee cup, walk to the ice machine fill it a bit, then go get my coffee.

[magicmarty]

Morning Gang!!! Thx for the coffee, MDF, which I like really hot. Also I am the local king of the BBQ and like my chicken a bit charred. Get no complaints and loads of kudos.

YG, Thanks for the plug for the E Playans MnG at the SF Decomp. 3PM under the big tree in the center of the park. I'll "keep the light on" for you and also a sign saying something original like "E Playa Meet & Greet"!

Something to look forward to, seeing YG and Looneytune. Good buddies!

Meanwhile, kiddies, "don't take any wooden nickels"

This is known as 'Strategic Incompetence'.
It's a guy thing to get out of stuff they don't want to do.

[nilasnake]

yggy, i like that you dumped barbque sauce on, afterward, to brighten up the black bird.

seconded and duly noted. NEVER THROW MY COFFEE AWAY EVEN IF IT HAS MOLD ON TOP

[Ugly Dougly]

You need readin' glasses, Ygmir. The recipe said "until tender" NOT "tinder".

Oh well.

Celebrate with me a great milestone in entertainment this fine day.


Saw its debut today 50 years ago!

[ygmir]

*wanders in, starts ECM*

haha you may be right, Dougly!! I know the mistake.......this new BBQ I made is more effecient with heat and fire........and for the same fuel, I need to move the chicken much further away.........well lesson learned, and guts sparkly clean from all the carbon!!
