Do you know how difficult it is to walk while someone is giving you a blowjob?

And that’s what did in Bill - he kept the receipts. :eek:

Definitely…but there’s a difference between “the BBQ” – the metal thing outside that contains charcoal (or a gas tank connection, if you insist) and a cooking grid – and “a plate of BBQ,” which is a vinegar-based, slow-cooked pork that is minced, chopped, or pulled. A plate of BBQ is typically accompanied by cole slaw, brunswick stew, hush puppies, and vegetables that have been cooked in the presence of a ham bone (or a chunk of ham, judging by the amount of meat sometimes found in these veggies). Boiled potatoes are fairly common too.

You are wrong, friend, wrong! The Prez was commander-in-chief, not “commander and chief”.

Well, that just goes to prove the old adage, “different strokes for different folks”. 😃

[Johnathan Ames](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ames) wrote in _The Alcoholic_ that he took part in a dinner party at a restaurant that Monica was invited to. One of the guests ordered grilled kielbasa sausage, and Monica looked at the big, long sausage and said “What is that? It looks delicious!” The conversation came to a dead halt, as everybody felt too awkward to speak.

4 1-inch thick pork chops
3/4 pound plum tomatoes, chopped
3/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced

Combine everything but the pork chops in a bowl. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to mix the flavors. Preheat grill. Drain the liquid from the tomato mixture and pour over pork chops. Set tomato mixture in the refrigerator covered. Let them sit in liquid for about 15 minutes (should be enough time to give POTUS a BJ)Remove pork chops from liquid and discard liquid. Place chops on grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side or until done. Place pork chops on plates and spoon tomato mixture over top. Serve.

Do directors pick him for roles like that because he’s good at dying, or is he like Heston and not wanting to replay a role so he gets himself killed off so he can’t be brought back in a sequel?

It’s been a long time since _Sharpe’s Rifles_, but I don’t think he got killed in that one.

I shouldn’t have to scroll this far down to find the BBQ pork chop recipe. Can the mods move this post to the top of page 1, please?

You just described grilling in a discussion about BBQ.

By calling a grill a BBQ, you are propagating the very ignorance that you are purporting to fight.

Stop it!

Now!

I always found her attractive. Beautiful face, nice hair, pleasantly plump…

I still feel sorry for her though. I mean, lots of young women have gotten involved with powerful married men, but they don’t end up being a national pariah, or the butt of lame jokes like the OP. She didn’t deserve that.

Yeah, she made a mistake countless young women have made, she just made it with the worst possible guy. Just let it go already.

Caught carrying on with a President with wife and children? Has a bit of a showy side that some consider flaunting conventional morality and a lack of inhibitions? For whom there are famous articles of clothing?

Um…Marilyn Monroe?

ETA: I would hazard **kstarnes** (or whatever asshole blog he reads) would find some lame reason it’s nowhere close to being the same. Funny how that works.
