Spoken like a man who's never enjoyed the richness of such cheap delicacies. You should give it a shot. Though I'd advise you to bring your own tablecloth and flatware, as they're unlikely to be provided for you.

EDIT: And beer. Definitely bring your own beer. Far too much X-Lite is consumed here in the States. Hey, I just thought of a product idea for you...

I'm making BBQ right now. Was that supposed to be an insult, x? :lol:

But don't count on getting any good BBQ in Texas. They use the wrong animal.

Yep... going to grand prix is 50% for the racing, 50% for the excuse to barbeque and drink... I don't get what was meant to be insulting either.

Is that BBQism? (Why can't we all just get along?)

I married a woman who grew up with beef BBQ. It was tough at first of course, but over time the family has come to accept her.

If that guy with the property dispute with CotA was smart, he'd get a vending permit and set up a BBQ cooker. He could sell individual ribs through the fence. :lol:

As long as the tenderloin is made rare and the the brew is Colt45, bring it on, but from the back of an F150?

If this goes on much further, I might have to re-schedule and bring the mistress to Austin, who happens to be heavily addicted to John Mellencamp, any chance of a backseat in that F150 of yours bb?

A spacious one.

Come on down. You bring the cookbook, and I'll bring the Mellencamp.

Sound good?

Naah, that's Bostonian, never cared for that much either.
You mentioned before that you spent time in Pennsylvania. I've known several people from Western PA. and they have an expression I have never heard from any other region in the "Home of the gullible"..... "You-ins" what the hell is up with that?
You-ins going? What are you-ins doing tonight?
Not sure Al, I spent two+ years in Williamsport PA managing a design-engineering department, when most of the time I heard "that's correct" response to every issue raised. Otherwise I didn't detect any specifics.

Seattle was different though, where people of all a sudden identify with you as a scandinavian by responding "Jaa", and and silling their gut on Ronald Reagan, but those where the times way back when.

Mellancamp is corn-country music, not cow-country. Youse guys probably need to go to Austin just to get your sociological bearings retuned.
