"BS" = great initials for a journalist. 

What's the over/under on how much longer John will coach?

That might be the first time anyone ever called Bob Sans-a-brain a "journalist".

Round numbers: fins' k at 200, KR posts at 2500.  What's next?  -500?

What's next?  -500?

I'd say, yes, that would be the nest likely milestone.

It's grilling season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine...

1) The woman buys the food.

2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....

5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again:

7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

Still more routine.....

8. The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table.

9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

And now for the "element of danger":

11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off."   And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that... there's just no pleasing some women...

The accuracy of that last post is scarey.  The only thing different is I like to walk around on my deck while grilling and drinking my beer.

[Touchdown Tommy]

ROR: You drink beer?  I was under the impression you stuck to ice water.

I think I saw him with a Hamm's...once.

Fins,
Fantastic synopsis of the grilling events....U89's only concern was that alcohol did not arrive until step 3!!!!

U89, rest assured knowing that the beer was lurking in the background and present during steps 1 and 2.

[Johnnie Red]

finsleft, good thing the etiquette you quote does not apply to the Stiftungsfestivities. Here is the routine...

1) Johnnie Red travels to Norwood Young America to pick up the Stiftungsfest burger at Mackenthun & Wischnack Meats, occasionally seeing sides of beef hanging over the sidewalk outside the meat market.

2) JR stops at Bongards Creamery to purchase some cheese curds.

3) JR patties up the burgers while listening to some U2 in beautiful Carver.

4) The Stiftungsfest burger is transported Saturday morning through such exotic towns as Waverly, Maple Lake and Clearwater.

5) The Stiftungsfestivities kicks off at 9:00 a.m. with the presence of Veek, Duffman, finsleft and JR. All are eagerly hoping Red Hot Bennie makes an appearance and TDT never shows up.

6) NO WOMAN EVER PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

7) Some women do bring culinary delights; Mrs. Dusty brings the five little girl delights.

8) Red cups are everywhere; adult beverages are nowhere to be seen.

9) Opposing fans show up and are welcomed by everyone, unless they happen to be from Bethel.

And most important of all:

10) After the Stiftungsfestivities comes to an end, the Johnnies once more destroy the opposition on the field, a never ending trend.

And now for the "element of danger":

TDT and OAS show up at the same time just after OAS has made his predictions for the season for `06. As to be expected, OAS picks anyone but the Johnnies to win the MIAC, the West Region and the national championship. TDT has finally had it with OAS and, more importantly, views this as an opportunity to finally get back at the Webmaster via the West Region guru. Upon seeing OAS' annoyed reaction (and if he noticed, everyone else's annoyed reaction at TDT being present), TDT concludes that... there's just no pleasing some men....

You've got that right, Fins. Sansavere is a no-talent rube.

Excellent JR,hope you don't mind I added some editorial comments. But I think OAS could be considered an unindicted co-conspirator after abetting TDT with his subterfuge last season.
