My first day in Germany when I was assigned there in 1985, my sponsor took me to a little schnell imbiss (food cart/stand) for dinner despite my serious jet lag. There I learned that pommes frites (french fries) are served with mayonnaise in Germany. I have to confess that, despite the effect on my cardio system, I do love them served that way now. I also discovered curry wurst, a sliced up sausage with ketchup and curry powder...also very tasty, despite jet lag. I later discovered they are also good after you've had a few of those good German beers.

Yep, and top it all off with some brew and butter cake! Reminds me of lunches with my grandparents when I was younger (without the beer then)
 
I know it may sound weird coming from a guy who makes fairly expensive knives... but I'm just not that big of a gear-hound. The last pack I "bought".... I traded a bar of steel for. ;)

It's only a matter of time. I've already started praying for ya, son. Beer should be beer-flavored. When I want fruit, I'll drink wine. :rolleyes:

I'm not 100% on it, and too lazy/hungover to look it up, but that sounds right :)

I heard about mayo on fries when I watched Pulp Fiction. I tried it and loved it too. A little good eggy full-fat mayo is a wonderful thing from time to time. In other news, Miss Angie recently picked up some "olive oil and black pepper" mayo on a whim... it's frankly awful on sammiches, but it makes a lovely coleslaw.

Not looking forward to that... especially since my front yard is composed entirely of a 40-degree grade. I have yet to convince my wife to let me tear out the grass and plant potatoes or carrots there instead... she says the neighbors would find it unseemly. :rolleyes:

A military cargo plane, flying over a populated area, suddenly loses power and starts to nose down. The pilot tries to pull up, but with all their cargo, the plane is too heavy. So he yells to the soldiers in back to throw things out to make the plane lighter.

They throw out a pistol. “Throw out more!” shouts the pilot. So they throw out a rifle. “More!” he cries again. They heave out a missile, and the pilot regains control.

He pulls out of the dive and lands safely at an airport. They get into a jeep and drive off. Pretty soon they meet a boy on the side of the road who’s crying. They ask him why he’s crying and he says “A pistol hit me on the head!”

They drive more and meet another boy who’s crying even harder. Again they ask why and the boy says, “A rifle hit me on the head!”

They apologize and keep driving. They meet a boy on the sidewalk who’s laughing hysterically. They ask him, “Kid, what’s so funny?” The boy replies, “I farted and a house blew up!”
 
esee has some Black G10 for pretty cheap for an izula. Wonder how it'll fit a 14....going to find out soon.
 
Tradewater, that picture makes me jealous on pretty much every level. Even a good beer selection and I'm not really a beer drinker.
 
How about "Murph's twig and berries"? Or "Murph's Banana Hammock"? Who wouldn't want to press their lips to a banana hammock after a long day at work?



This thread will probably max out before I get out of bed so IBTL.
 
At the Waco airport waiting to fly to Denver for my father-in-law's funeral. Kinda a sad thing, but also happy. He had a good life, and was 97 years old. He was a general practice doctor and served the last year of WWII as a doctor in the Navy, plus had spent a year as the doctor on duty at Alcatraz during the week. It should be as much celebration as it is mourning.

I love it! Been waiting for someone to demo something so simple for little ol' me.
I've been wanting an outdoor cooker for awhile. How about two burners with a grill surface, cold area, etc... nice.
Too bad that guy burned his grilled cheese. How long do you think the bricks last? Also, is there toxic crap in the cinderblocks that would be better off not near your food?
 
I know that they will crack when they get too hot.. I have cracked a few over the years. As for toxic crap in the burn off, I am not sure..
 
Im not sure on just how toxic either...

And Lee is correct, if they get too hot they crack. I have also had rock fire pits get so hot the rocks explode and shoot pieces out and one burnt the shit out of me, it hit my jacket and i didnt realize it until it melted through to my skin..... but this normally only happened when we shoved a huge hunk or stump of lighter knot (fatwood) in there and left it burning for hours on end.

We made something like this at a survival course before, we used a few more blocks though, and we also did it with just bricks, they work fine for a meal or 2 a few times a day... But i wouldnt try and cook all day on them for a group of people.

But i thought this one was crazy easy and required the least amount of parts and time out of all the others i seen so i wanted to share it.
