Satan, did you mean Mark Sirloin??

a friend caught a 70 lb. wild pig with the dogs, penned the black brisstly haired critter, and fed him corn for about a week. Nicely fed and relaxed a quick well aimed single bullet did the humane thing. Now skinned and headed with 3 days hanging in the cooler, we started a large oak fire on top of 2-3 dozen fire bricks in a round flat pit about a foot deep. Rotate the bricks around so they remain in the hottest part. When the coals are right, about 2 hours, lay the pig on chicken wire, season well with salt, paprika, and I like Monterey Steak Sesoning, inside and out. Cut up a dozen onions in quarters, and fill chest cavity with them. With large tongs, grab the hotest fire bricks, and put those in the cavity, stomach, and thigh area. Now, wrap the chicken wire around the pig and lace it together with a single wire. Move fire bricks in the pit together flat with no coals on them, leaving 8 - 10 on the side. Lay the pig on the bricks (if you have acces to banana leaves, put a few on the brcks first), and stack the last 8-10 on and around the pig. Next the main layer of banana leaves ( you boys up north may have to find a suitable substitute)covering well but careful not to get any sand or dirt on the pig. Now get a stack of newspapers about a foot thick, presoaked in water, opened and cover the whole thing, creating a mound. now cover with sand/dirt, wait 6-8 hours, drinking plenty of beer while making sure it ‘cooks right’. Rake off the dirt and open up your papermache’ oven. You now understand why the chicken wire, because you can throw the knives away. You don’t even need BBQ sauce for this one, but have some on hand for those non-purists any way. DAMN! got myself hungry. Wonder if we should have a SDMB pig roast here in Fla?
later, Tom
You make me hungry, hflathead! Toss me a beer and hack me off a slab!
Note to gripers and pissers and moaners and accusers: This post was started in GD. I did not want it in the PIT but the annoying moderator threw it in the pit fearing that it would become a mud slinging contest, which by dumping it in here is almost exactly what happened. However, by the efforts of posters with humor who seem not out to bitch at everyone and everything, it has generally remained amusing.
(Am I starting to sense a new type of poster taking over the board?)
To the OP,
If they gave out slim-jims at Halloween, I’d be wearing my SuperMan costume outside of the bedroom.
I love meat.
Ribs, pork-chops, steak, eggs, bacon, chicken breast, sausage, pepperoni, fish, veal, hamburger, venison, rattlesnake, buffalo, alligator, ham and if I was on “Survivor” I would be the one catching rats. My one thing to bring would be “Tabasco Sauce”. Damn, I am getting hungry just writing this. I wonder if there are any slow squirrels outside ?

The annoying moderator has trouble finding out where in your OP is something even vaguely resembling a Great Debate. “Woo–ee! I sure do like meat! Vegans have a funny name!” Great Debates, is–oddly enough–a forum for debates, not a place to hide your threads if you can’t handle the heat they’d generate if they were posted in the proper forum.
Yesterday I proclaimed my self a vegetarian, largey (wholy actually) to disassociate my self with a certain unnamed block-head, who felt it necessary to whip out some jr. high wit in an attempt to vindicate himself as a meat-eater. But I degress.
I now feel the need to rationalize my decision.
I refer you to Ronald Reagan who proclaimed ketchup to be a vegetable for school lunches. I decided to take that logic a little further, towhit:
Beef=Cow, Cow=Cud-chewer, Cud=Grass, Grass=Green, Green=Vegetable
Ergo, Beef=Vegetable.
At least this is now the law in Battyland.
Thank you for your time, vote for Jack.
MEAT ! MEAT! MEAT! I LOVE MEAT!
Specifically, I love bacon! Not just any bacon, though. Perfect Bacon. That beautiful, brown/red color it achieves when perfectally cooked; crispy, not fatty. Well smoked, so it’s almost sweet.
Country style; i.e. thick.
YUMMY!
By the way, when I bait vegans, I use cabbage , nylon line & a three pronged hook. Of course, I always eat my catch. Fried, in worchestershire sause. (Since “Meat Is Murder”, then cannibalism is “The New White Meat”.) 
But a little bit of extra burn on your bacon is what makes it just right. Dark red on the inside of the strip and that perfect al dente feel, with just a hint of carbonation on the outside edge - just a hint, mind you. God, is there a better smell in the morning? Take your fancy coffees - perfectly cooked bacon DEFINES the way to wake up. Yum.
Lots of it, too, and the besy way to serve it is with no eggs or anything. Oh, eggs are fine, but I like my bacon lying in all directions on one plate, crispy and… mmm… must go to kitchen… oh, shit, I’m at work.
I thought Great Debates was the proper place for this topic as it is a form of witnessing.
Until somebody says either, “squick”, “felch” or “fuck”, then it goes to the Pit.
Well, gosh golly gee, I love meat too but you don’t see me yelling at vegetarians, telling them that their ways are stupid. Just like I love God but I don’t go around telling everyone who doesn’t love God to go to Hell. Learn to get along, people. Life is too short for arguments.
I am a meat lover and a fruit and vegetable lover too. I don’t have a problem with vegans or strict meat eaters. It’s your life, do whacha like. It does urk me when the vegans striketh down on the meat eaters and vice-versa. I see much poking from both sides in this thread. It’s lame, give it up!
I dunno if it’s Mr. Serlin or not. If it is…big deal. I used to be an asshole type too, some people just don’t realize it was a character I created (and not me!). If it is you Mark, just be a good fella and refrain from past behavior like I have done. It can take quite a while (to gain acceptance) but time does heal all (,nearly all,) wounds. So turn over a new leaf for good, I hate being the only one who hasith done so.
…
But I must say, I LOVE a juicy steak. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Has anyone been to this resturant called “hops?” or
Ruth Chris steak house?? (OMG!!!) [rolling in XTC]
Admirable of you, Silo, but you see, Serlin IS an asshole, has ALWAYS BEEN an asshole and shows absolutely NO INTENTION of not being an asshole.
This is not a character, Silo. HE IS AN ASSHOLE! This is why we always see through his latest incarnation with such ease. He knows no other way.
Yer pal,
Satan
I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR:
Three months, two weeks, two days, 20 hours, 52 minutes and 11 seconds.
4314 cigarettes not smoked, saving $539.35.
Life saved: 2 weeks, 23 hours, 30 minutes.
mmmmmmm … how could anyone give up bacon? It is so tasty and buttery! Even good covered in chocolate
Covered in chocolate? You gotta draw the line somewhere, man.
I went out to dinner with some friends last night to Lawry’s. That is a good piece of meat.
Not that I am trying to start anything, and this may be a little like throwing lighter fluid on the grill, but…personally, I have never seen anyone (a meat-eater) taunting a vegan, although I am sure it happens.
I have, however, seen vegans going into great gory detail about how animals are tortured and beaten and injected with cancer-causing chemicals and are cruely killed, just so I can have a steak…while I am eating said steak.
And I guess it’s okay for them to wear leather shoes, huh?
And suede jackets? Hhow about wool and down-filled jackets? Isn’t that just as mean, taking an animal’s natural coat away for yourself?
::ducks and runs away::
What are you talking about? “Never seen anyone taunting a vegan” - ? You just saw it in this thread. That was the main point of the OP. And that is not the first thread on this board that had elements of “veggie taunting”.
Rude of them, sure.
Who are “they” that you are talking about? Surely not all vegans. I don’t recall ever meeting a strict vegan that wore leather or fur. There are flourishing companies that sell fake leather shoes and clothing to vegans and vegetarians, after all. Somebody is using these products.
And, even if a person is vegetarian/vegan, it does not follow that they are always being that way for moral reasons - they could be abstaining from meat for dietary and health reasons. So, since one does not eat leather or fur, it would not be technically inconsistent for such a person to wear these things. Vegetarianism is a diet - it’s specifically about what people eat, not necessarily about what they wear.
However, as mentioned before, many veggies avoid all leather or fur products, because they have moral reasons for not eating meat or using animal products.
I was Fuddruckers today and had an ostrich burger- I actually preferred it to the hamburgers there. I don’t know if it’s the “healthy” alternative that they tout it as, but it sure was tasty.
So, exactly how is this different from a thread where Vegetarians, Vegans, etc. check in and swap recipes? I did not see any slams on afore mentioned until someone started getting, well, in someone else’s face. This just seemed like a rather light-hearted thread, then allofasudden, wham.
C’mon, live and let live. I don’t know all the history benind Mr. Sirloin, but this thread is innocent enough - lets just have some fun, or stay out if offended - you already know what’s in here!
BTW - Ostrich should never, ever, be made into burgers - it’s too good in medallions - medium-rare, with a sweet (berry) sause. And for anyone who would cover bacon with chocolate - you’re ruining a good meal!!
