        That's a very nice tribute. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 18:31
      - Still have old Navy peacoat and dress uniform - BAD Apr 12, 18:27 12
        
        I have a full set of my BDU's (Battle Dress Uniform) everthing fits but the hat. Not kidding my head grew. - Redmond Apr 12, 18:28 11
        
        You're old. They're ACUs now. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 18:35 8
        
        The dummies we used to bayonet were nicknamed Ivan's. Yes, Russia was the enemy. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 18:36 7
        
        Kids going in today won't even know what bayonet training is... -- nm - Stephen Apr 12, 18:38 6

How did I go for so many years without using my grill? There is *no* other way to cook good meat! -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 12, 18:07 41
- Okay, but when I said I want my meat cooked "well done" I really mean it. None of this medium well crap! -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 18:08 22
  - you're like my EX, she liked it so well done that I'd end up drying it to jerky, I'd start it wrapped in foil while the coals were still getting ashed - zeitgeist Apr 12, 19:31
  - I shall try to remember that when you come to visit. - MojaveMeg Apr 12, 18:15 13
    - Don't tell the rest of ST, but you're certainly someone I've wanted to meet. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 18:21 12
      - she will get drunk on wine and make a scene - the 40 year old virgin Apr 12, 18:23 1

        That was the Sahara trip, right? The year Karl flew in from NZ? -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 12, 18:46 2
        
        No Karl. Spawn and Amy's wedding. - the liioulu with Apr 12, 18:50 1
        
        Ah, okay. That was my first trip, and I was with Bill so the only event we attended was the reception. February 2004. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 12, 18:53
        
        I want to see some cool sites in the southwest with Meg. -- nm - mara Apr 12, 18:26 1
        
        yes you do -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 12, 19:32
  - Meat done well is not "well done" - Stephen Apr 12, 18:10 6
    - USDA weeps. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 18:16 1
      - The USDA can kiss my medium rare lovin arse! -- nm - Stephen Apr 12, 18:23
    - Well yeah, if I followed the Food Network folks it should only be on the other side of 130 degrees or so. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 18:13
    - You, sir, are the meat-devil. -- nm - David Apr 12, 18:11 2
      - I'll take that as a compliment! - Stephen Apr 12, 18:27 1
        
        Yes and in fact I had a steak tonight. And it was burned the way that God intended it to be! -- nm - David Apr 12, 18:28
- my brother is looking to buy a $2k grill. damn. men and their grills. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 18:08 16
  - I don't think they grill any better at that price. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 12, 18:09 15
    - He disagrees. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 18:11 14
      - Men also think grilling is real cooking. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 12, 18:14 3
        
        If the end result is food they have prepared ending up on the kitchen table, then I'd say it is real cooking. -- nm - kelly Apr 12, 18:16
        
        My brother is a seriously good cook, I must say. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 18:15 1
        
        Disclaimer - this is a long running joke between an offline (male) friend and I. - the liioulu with Apr 12, 18:21
      - Getting truly even heat is a challenge with the cheaper grills. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 18:13 9
        
        he's really serious about grilling. He grills for his fellow volunteer firefighters. - loosilu Apr 12, 18:15 8
        
        I would definitely drop two grand+ on a grill if I had that kind of throwing around money. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 18:17 7
        
        Honestly, so would I. - kelly Apr 12, 18:19 5
        
        I love going to my brother's place. They eat like royalty, if royalty ate grilled food. - loosilu Apr 12, 18:20 4
        
        I've been trying to remember if I've ever had real waffles. - the liioulu with Apr 12, 18:24 3
        
        what! this is a travesty -- nm - kare Apr 12, 19:13
        
        oh man. my brother makes the best waffles ever. At Thanksgiving he made chocolate waffles served with cashew butter. - loosilu Apr 12, 18:38 1
        
        That sounds good. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 12, 18:42
        
        He's the chief of some medical department at a state university in rural Kentucky. Lots of spare dough. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 18:18
- I'm sayin'! -- nm - David Apr 12, 18:07
Hotkiss, right now on the Travel Channel, Tony Bourdain is in Equador for the hour -- nm - peglegpete Apr 12, 18:06
Alright so no Ecuador. ST's talked me out of going to two countries so far: Ecuador and Kazakhstan, heh. -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 12, 18:05 13
- NOW you listen to us??? -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 18:16 2
  - To defend HK: She has been great about listening to our advice about travel. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 18:16 1
    - So if we tell her where to go for her Honeymoon she will meet the right guy? -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 18:19
- Ecuador is awesome. Just don't walk around Quito after dark. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 18:09 1
  - but galapagos aside, I'd put it behind all the other south american coutries I went to (except maybe Bolivia, but I was only there for like 18 hours). -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 18:22
- my totally unsolicited opinion, if you have any intent to work in media/marketing: go back to NYC - the 40 year old virgin Apr 12, 18:08 2
  - yeah, I agree with this. On the one hand I think it's absolutely worth it to travel and work abroad, even at random jobs. - loosilu Apr 12, 18:13
  - I agree with pixie. - Qale Apr 12, 18:09
- They did try to talk you about going to Mexico too. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 12, 18:08
- I'm not against going to Ecuador. I'm against going to Ecuador for sub-minimum wages. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 18:07 2
  - STIS, it's true. I'll play with my other (so far nonexistant) options for a bit. -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 12, 18:10 1
    - There are many options, trust me. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 18:14
- Hey, just fyi, I'm super pro-working abroad. I totally think you should do it, just maybe not that one. - loosilu Apr 12, 18:07
angry birds is my new favourite iphone game, mostly because of the graphics and sound. the angry birds are perfect. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 18:05 1
- my wife is hooked on this as well -- nm - prayformojo Apr 12, 18:21
the amount of joy tivo brings me is ridiculous. -- nm - miss amanda jones Apr 12, 18:04
The Hoff! -- nm - CQ Apr 12, 18:02 1
