It is dumb there is a forum called “The BBQ Pit” but if we want to discuss BBQ we would probably have to go to another forum (Cafe Society, IMHO, MPSIMS, or General Questions). I think if we have a forum called “The BBQ Pit” it should only be about BBQ. ---

I also have a complaint. It’s dumb that people worry about trivial things. ---

I too would like to lodge a complaint. People shouldn’t respond with snarky comments when they have no real content to add. (Snarky comments acccompanying actual content is of course excepted from the above ;)) ---

When the fuck is Euty gonna bring me my fucking green chai tea? I sent him my request months ago and I still haven’t gotten it yet! Also, Major Kong, where the fuck do you get off trying to tell us you’re a primate in a high military position? I call bullshit. ---

Furthermore, your post is incorrect. There is BBQ in the BBQ pit (eg. here). What you are complaining about is non-bbq things in the bbq pit. ---

You know this thread is just begging to have a response thread opened in the Pit about somebody’s bad experience at a BBQ joint, or something. I can sense it. There is a disturbance in the force. ---

Mild rants should probably be in MPSIMS. But then again, maybe you don’t like mild BBQ sauce. ---

The last time I ate BBQ I decided to eat a whole rack of ribs, and not those small baby back ribs, I mean a full grown rack of ribs. Man, I spent the entire night in the bathroom. And that’s why that was the best summer ever. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Particlewill \* > **I suppose next you will complain that** Coldfires_\* name is inaacurate because fire isn’t cold?\*\* Well, I’d say **Coldfire** ’s name is inaccurate because **Coldfire** isn’t (I hope) incredibly sexist like the Rush song he got his name from.

I would like to lodge a complaint. People who’s screen names are the same as the Slim Pickens charachter in _Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb_ and most memorable for riding 30 megatons down on the Russkies while waving his hat should not be allowed to make statements such as: > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Major Kong_ > **Atomic weapons should require special permits.

Whooshed? By what? Is this a parody thread? If it is, I thought we were supposed to link to the threads being parodied. Otherwise it’s a stupid thread. I was hearkening back to a troll who OP’d about **Coldies** name being dangerous because fire isn’t cold, and a number of other extraordinarily idiotic threads of that ilk. ---

I’d like to complain about the BBQ here. What’s this bullshit with the ribs coming bare and the BBQ sauce in a jar on the table? That’s why I never come to BBQ’s. That place sucks major kong. And Coldfire’s problems are many. Firstly, he doesn’t really speak English. He’s got one hella Dutch/English translator hooked up to his computer. Sometimes it spits out inanities like that nonsense name of his. He’da probably caught that problem except for his secondly problem. You see, the blood supply to his brain is almost terminally reduced by the upkeep of his several thousand mile long penis. (Sometimes, when the deep sea repairmen mistake his penis for transatlantic telephone lines, he gets distracted) In conclusion-- don’t put bbq sauce on your miles long kong. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Biggirl \* > \*\* > In conclusion-- don’t put bbq sauce on your miles long kong. \*\* There’s a lesson here, kids. Miles “Long” Kong is generally considered to be the greatest jazz windchime player of all time. Depressed and drinking heavily after suffering serious financial setbacks, he died tragically in a BBQ sauce related accident in 1974. ---

BBQ is no laughing matter. I once injured my back while eating some pulled pork. I said NO laughing. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-a-complaint-no-bbq-in-the-bbq-pit/187415.md?page=2)
