- They are muppets, but they are not Muppets. -- nm - rollo Mar 14, 12:27 3
  - Wrong! -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat Mar 14, 12:29 2
    - how so? -- nm - Remlik Mar 14, 12:32 1
      - They were Muppets before there was a Muppet Show. - Callisto Buffalomeat Mar 14, 12:37
- This is like asking if Wolverine is an Avenger. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 12:26 4
  - He is. -- nm - Remlik Mar 14, 12:33
  - Because he is? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 12:32 1
    - Yes, exactly. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 12:33
  - This is the best analogy I've read all day. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 14, 12:30

    - Wrongception. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 12:51
  - "bbq generally sucks" - no need to embrace your losing streak that much -- nm - Roger More Mar 14, 12:17 23
    - bbq = throw some burgers hot dogs and chicken on the grill. That makes me happy. I have had *very* few good briskets. - ty97 Mar 14, 12:18 22
      - every time I try to cook a brisket, I end up with pastrami. -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 14, 12:25 6
        
        Pastrami is freaking awesome -- nm - crash davis Mar 14, 12:27

      - oh, *honey*. -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 12:21
      - burgers and hot dogs are grilling, not bbq. I know a former southerner who would say beef brisket is not bbq, pulled pork is -- (edited) - crash davis Mar 14, 12:20 13
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        I think it actually is bbq. Saying it isn't bbq is like a Rolls Royce owner telling you your Yugo is a car. - crash davis Mar 14, 12:30 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Assuming it's been rubbed and smoked, definitely. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 12:32
        
        It's not my favourite but yeah. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 12:27
        
        It can be a noun or a verb, depending on how you use it. Up here, it's usually a verb, unless you know about food and then it's a delicious noun. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 12:26 2
        
        or an adjective, like BBQ Chicken -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 12:27 1
        
        Yes very true. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 12:28
        
        I do like pulled pork, but at least in Texas, it doesn't seem that common at bbq places. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 12:23 4
        
        Franklins has it -- (link) - Peglegpete Mar 14, 12:26 3
        
        With how meh I am on bbq, you think I've ever waiting in that line?! -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 12:28 2
        
        (I should mention that my brother lives 30 minutes from Lockhart. I've never been.) -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 12:28 1
        
        standing in Franklin's line is a business to many people for folks like you who can't spare the 4 hours to wait. -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 14, 12:30
  - I based your loss on Texas style and hating chili. If you hate BBQ as well as chili, I'll have to find out what is worse than loss. - crash davis Mar 14, 12:17 10
    - I don't hate chili, I'm mostly agnostic to it. I have never and will never crave it, but I don't actively dislike it. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 12:17 9
      - feel free to stop digging whenever you'd like. -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 12:22 7

        The IM made me laugh :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 14, 12:25 2
        
        Based on my e-mail history (to myself) this is the recipe I think I made - ty97 Mar 14, 12:32 1

One thing I've learned on this job: People just *love* to talk. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 14, 11:50 12
- My favorite: Them - "I'm wasting all this time talking to you." when I gave the answer 20 minutes ago and haven't said a word since as they've rambled -- nm - Dano Mar 14, 12:16 1
  - Yup. But, me being the polite person that I am, as well as working the political angles, will respond with ... - ReluctantCynic Mar 14, 12:29

  - Can't argue with that :) -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 12:08 1
    - Heh -- nm - IrishStephen Mar 14, 12:29
- Yesterday, a new tenant compressed a five minute conversation into half an hour. I passed his place at the end of work and saw a MAGA sign hanging in - crash davis Mar 14, 12:02 4
  - I don't think "compressed" means what you think it does. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 12:03 3
