I just watched the clip twice and I’m still laughing.

"Video showed birds slamming head-first into buildings and glass in Broward and Miami-Dade counties."

I'm not surprised. I remember video of some old birds down in Broward and Miami-Dade counties who got confused in the voting booth as well as trying to count hanging chads.

Remember the drunk driving episode where Johnny's reflexes got faster the more he drank?

I do, thanks for the link. WKRP was awesome, one of the best series ever. Thanks again.

I’ve been doing beer can chicken for about 6 or 7 years now, can’t remember when or where I heard about it, but smoked/indirect heat from without, steamed (with beer no less) from within is an unbeatable combo.

All those years doing it, and I have yet to come up with an effective way of extricating the bird from the can.

I hate it when that happens......

It's almost a two person job, both with very good gloves.

I had the same problem until I got something similar to this:

Spread a couple of tablespoons of freshly cracked corn in front of the can. They can’t resist it.

Spray the can down with Pam, preferably the Pam made for grills, but regular Pam will work.

"...several witnesses saw Bird smoking marijuana on the day of his death..."

I didn’t go outside on Friday because of the smoke. It would really make your eyes burn.

[I still care]

For those of you outside Florida, the smoke here is really bad. Right now it just looks like an overcast day here in Tampa (quite far from the fires), but the other day people were driving with their lights on and their cars were covered with ash.

My son, who works outside, had to wear a mask on his face. I was at the doctors office that morning, she said everytime the door opened you could see the smoke coming in.

That was the funniest show ever. “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly”

Beer Butt Chicken is TOO good.

[Xenalyte]

Only problem I’ve found with Beer Butt Chicken is it takes a long time. How long do you grill/smoke your bird, and at what temperature?

[Xenalyte]

Beer Butt Chicken ping!

Beer Butt Chicken Polka ping!!
