Kallessa of course a gas grill is acceptable. I have a gas grill. Rue’s, FCM’s and 'nookie’s cancerous grills are all gas. Mine is brand new and doesn’t have cancer. There are some big huge honkin’ gas grills out there. There’s also some nice medium sized grills too if you don’t have room for a big huge honkin’ one. And they do make pretty good FWOOSH sounds but not as good as charcoal and a bunch of lighter fluid and a match. Get you a gas grill and be the girl who grills. Impress your friends. You can watch “Boy Meets Grill” on the Food Network and learn some stuff. Or just wing it. mmmmmmmm… wings on the grill.
Oh and Wintermute my mommy always lets me light the grill when I go up there so, nyahh!
I wanna new gas grill that goes FWOOOOOOOOOOSH* too! Actually, my grill has cancer too! So, I’ve been looking for a good grill, but, I want new furniture too! I have to decide what I desire more. I DO know that my next grill will have either cast iron or brass burners. Those damn aluminum burners are ca-ca!
I used to play tetherball, four square and dodgeball. Tetherball can get DANGEROUS. I was DAMN good at it and knocked some girl upside the head with the ball (she wasn’t watching and didn’t duck). I knocked her right to the ground with it. Dodge ball caused me numerous bruises (those red bouncy rubber balls HURT like a MOFO); but I gave as good as I got.
I also played kickball, softball and baseball as a kid. I always was a bit of a tomboy and played rough. Now, I’m just an old wuss.
Hey Swampy, shouldn’t your grill go: POOOOOOF? Ha ha ha ha! I kid of course. Only, a pink grill would go POOOOOOF, and then it’d have to be a really butch grill to be pink and go more than POOOOOOF. Also, I am trying to throw togther an MMP Fest (see sig), it’s just no one loves me enough to co… show up.
Calm down Dirk. Kalley will talk about whatever she feels like talking about. But if you want to steer the conversation in a particular direction, you have to be subtle. Like this:
Hey Kalley why don’t you talk about your boobies for a while? We’d all like that.
The key is to be subtle.
I’m planning to go to the hardware store today to get the transplant parts for my grill. But I have to go grocery shopping first, so I might have to push it back til tomorrow. But my brother (Skippy) wants me to come over and till his garden up. Or at least bring over the tiller so he can use it. Which is only fair since he chainsawed up my fence for me. So I might have to push it back til Saturday afternoon. I really could have used the grill in a non-cancerous condition last night. But, alas, that was not the case. I had to fry the chicken instead. It turned out pretty good fried even though it was the first time I ever tried that particular fried chicken recipe. But it would have been better on the grill. Not with the cracker coating, because that would have just caught on fire and been bad.
Not just any chicken parts either. It was white meat. Yeah, breasts. Nothing like breasts for dinner. Even if it was just chicken.
-Rue. (subtle)
Rue, you named it Tornadope], so don’t you think it’s kinda cheesy to all of a sudden start referring to it as MMPdope? Besides don’t you think the Econolodge would be a better venue for a MMPdope. I mean what with the free HBO and continental breakfast and all. We could get all the free orange juice we wanted to make mimosas to sip while watching cartoons and eating donuts that way. Foresight and planning is all I’m sayin. And I like my grills like I like my men, big and burly. (Ok I also like my men hairy but I don’t want a hairy grill. That’s where I draw the line grillwise.)
Ahoy there FairyChatMom! Enjoy your weekend of conjugatin’ and boat type stuff.
Taters where are your priorities? Of course you need a big honkin’ new grill that goes FWOOSH more than you need new furniture. It’s grilling time! You can sit anywhere (except on a hot grill) but you can only properly char vast quantities of meat on a grill. Sheesh! Ya’d think this wouldn’t even need explaining. :rolleyes:
Swampy, surely you must understand my dilemna; I mean, being as you are the “over the top” interior decorator and so forth.
Rue, I tried doing the surgery thing on my grill last year by purchasing a new burner and a new ignitor. Yup, that just worked REALLY well. :rolleyes:
The new ignitor worked exactly…ONCE. The new burners went to hell in a hand basket after about a month. However, I wish you luck with your grill surgery.
The grill to get is a Holland Grill, but, those are major moolah. No flare ups, nice even cooking, ah, they’re just wonderful. So, if you have a Holland Grill dealer in your area, check it out.
Avast ye, FCM! Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum and all that good stuff to you!
Taters, Taters, Taters, first off that’s over-the-top gay decorator. More importantly though, you must prioritize. Your grill has cancer. That means you can’t use it for cooking even though it’d probably still make a pretty good FWOOSH. You want new furniture but you need a new grill. I infer from your posts that your furniture is cancer free. Even it’s a little worn right now, your guests won’t mind because with a grill you could serve up f–aaaaa-bu-lous grilled meat to them. They won’t care if they have to sit on naugahyde beanbags after that.
Rue don’t feel foolish. Ya know the more I think about it maybe it’s the Hampton Inn that has the juice and donuts. Plus they have chocolate chip cookies at night!
So should I be looking for an EconoLodge or a Hampton Inn where I-75 and I-70 cross just north of Dayton for the MMPfest? (I think this would be a good place to have it since it gives the most ways possible to get there. I feel this would just be fitting.) But I have to know, WHAT should I be looking for? Would a Fairfield Inn be good enough? A Super 8? I need help Swampy! Or I may never really get around to any of it.
Rue try for a Hampton, Fairfield or Best Western. In my experience they have the best juice and donuts at breakfast if that’s what we’re going for. Mimosas, donuts and cartoons. Now that’s a fest! Stay away from Super 8’s. Their AC and Heat tends to not work. Besides the decor is just tacky! Though a HoJo’s is always good. Specially one with a restaurant. Then we could have a MMP Clam Strips Fest! BTW why wouldn’t around Cincinnati be good? There’s a couple interstates running together there too.
Forget interstates, a few of us would need a handy airport! Of course, Taters and I might be able to hook up and drive cross-country, but I’d want many, many, many mimosas when we arrived! (No, not because of all the time I’d be spending with Taters, just because of the long drive).
In addition to mimosas, donuts and cartoons, we need chocolate deserts. There’s a hotel resturant in Cincinnati that has a delicious flourless chocolate cake–like a torte, but also like a brownie, but better than either. Yum.
As for talking about one (two, really) of my many assets, I think my sig line says it all.
Ex, you crack me up! How could we get rid of you? I mean, at one time or another we all feel like a mutton-head. But then we think: “But thank goodness I’m not Exgineer!” and we feel better. We need to keep you around!
There’s an airport in Dayton, Kalley (and girls). I figured I-70 runs most of the way east and west and I-75 runs all the way north and south and there’s the I-675 branching right there plus the airport. There’d be a whole wad of ways to get there. Did I mention you could fly in? And do you think with Swampy there would be any shortage of mimosas? (Well, before he gets started on 'em.)
(And there’s usually something going on in October around Columbus. I’m just saying. Or we could hijack ChiDope sometime. They’d never see it coming.)
Ex The Desmond Americana looks like a really cool place. It’s tastefully decorated too, or so it appears from the pics. You’d be surprised how snitty hotels get when one walks in and proceeds to redecorate. Ya’d think they would be appreciative of the upgrade.
Kallessa the Mimosas would all but rain down from heaven for you. Mimosas are my fourth favorite libation and my prefered morning libation. Beer (gasp! surprise!) is my favorite, martinis are second and gin and tonics are third. And if I can’t have a mimosa in the morning then I want bloody Mary’s. Hmmm… maybe I should say that I don’t as a rule drink in the morning, but when those brunchy/cartoony occasions arise, then a mimosa is nice.
Kallessa, Well, I’m glad to see I’m not driving you to drink. I mean, I AM a generally pleasant person with a good, if not a little twisted, sense of humor. However, I AM a frustrated grand prix driver, so, my driving may “drive” you to drink…heh! Unfortunately, I can’t go to the Tornodope because I have to go TDY to Ft McCoy, Wisconsin and I am leaving for that on 18 May.
Swampy, If you actually SAW my pitiful, sad, furniture, you would understand that I NEED, not just WANT, new furniture. No, the furniture isn’t looking TOTALLY cancerous, however, it has seen 14 years of abuse. You know, kids, animals, spilled coffee or beer. I mean, I steam clean it and all, but well, it’s just so pathetic looking now.
Mimosas??? Well, they’re okay I guess, but I prefer a kamikaze…straight up. If I’m going to drink the “soft” stuff, then a good beer or a good glass of wine (or two, or three, or four ) is the stuff for me.
All you folks just need to move out here, to the Evergreen state. Then it would be so much easier to go to a Dope fest.
I’m counting on the fact that there’s gonna be something going on in October in Columbus.
In the meantime, if y’all want to hang out in Chattanooga, I’m gonna be there next week! (I’ll probably be indulging in various pork products, gravy and miscellaneous starches - who’s in???)
This of course means I’m going to miss out on next week’s MMP. Please don’t talk about me while I’m gone. I’d just be heartbroken.
I am going on a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico in October. Going with three of my friends. We’re all turning 50 at some point in time between July and next January so we’re calling this our Mid-Life Crisis Old Fart Cruise. Sounds like fun, huh?
) is the stuff for me.
