what entails proper barbecue. Being a darn Yankee, I don't have a dog in that fight, We've made our Yankee cousins barbecue fans.

ROFL! Rush just said, "Jimmy Carter hasn't been right since he...since he left the peanut farm!"

I like what little I've had...I just don't have an opinion of which type is the best! If we have any up this way, it's generally of the pork and vinegar variety.
But usually when you say "barbecue", people just think of cooking meat on a grill, and it's a method of cooking rather than a type of food.

And I must have been about 18 before I first heard it used in a derogatory fashion. Didn't get it at first...'cause up this way people are proud to be Yankees.

We have a local FM talk show that has trivia contests against the listeners and the radio crew. One of the topics today is "Spongebob Squarepants."
You should give 'em a call. Just type "WTKS" into Google. Then follow the links to "The Phillips Phile". Break a leg!

Was it my lunch box?

In our neck of the woods, "barbecue" means pork. Any other barbecued critter is defined by type: chicken, beef.

Or was it these?
To: Corin Stormhands
That.......and the pineapple you live in.

The Missing Skivvies of Gondor?
To: Overtaxed; RosieCotton
Actually, my Mom's family didn't come over here until after the War of Northern Aggression. Some of my Europoean ancestors were here in the late 1600s. Two great grandfathers fought for the Confederacy.
Most of the time I don't make a big deal about it except when I want to annoy some Yankees. ;-) I once looked into joining the Sons of the Confederacy, but they scared me. I follow the history and the issues, and I respect the past. But it's time to appreciate it and move on.

The Missing Skivvies of Gondor? No wonder they decided to do without!
To: Overtaxed; RosieCotton
The first time we took them out for barbecue, they asked "barbecued what?". It's like asking for a "coke" in the south. You'll usually get asked "what kind?" (you know - orange, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, etc.)

The Missing Skivvies of Gondor? That'd make it kinda hard to polka, wouldn't it?
To: RosieCotton
No wonder they decided to do without! Maybe the line should be "Gondor has no skivvies. Gondor wants no skivvies."
