all your fault

. . . and you know who you are . . .

w.t.f. ?
Who ever challenged you to do all THAT? . . . Jethro Bodine?
Did you HAVE to juggle chairs???

Now what are we going to do?

OK, OK, some praise for the effort:
That was the best Tasmanian Devil impersonation ever.

Still ringing in the ears:
/ Shake Your Rump; No Sleep 'til Brooklyn - Beastie Boys
+
/ Hot Pants; Sex Machine - James Brown

Play it again next weekend.
Aloha.

ol' three stripe

He's kicking it old school with his Adidas.
An example of post-retro revivalism? Is he uber-retro?
A Run-DMC fanatic?
""we travel on gravel, dirt road or street
I wear my Adidas when I rock the beat
...
they're black and white, white with black stripe"" - (full lyrics below)

Even though he . . .
1) ... knows the name of zero Run DMC tunes (well, OK, he can recite an occasional tricky-tricky verse & refrain during superbly inspired moments),

2) ... hasn't bought a new pair of kicks in 20 years, with foresight he purchased thirty pair in 1981 and froze them in dry ice units at the Adidas Replacement of Archaic Inventory Storage Facility,

treated lumber smoked BBQ

Although we were hungry, very very hungry, we didn't eat here so there is no food review.
The reason we didn't eat here was that after parking in the hard packed gravel parking lot around back we observed the smoker guy stoking the fire with construction site scraps.

Yep, that is what he did.
He put a few 2 by 4s into the fire and felt like he was getting it right.

A truck with three big guys in coveralls pulled into the parking lot.
They were glad to get out of the pickup because they'd been sitting three across in the cab. You know, thigh to thigh. Never comfortable. Not physically uncomfortable, just too, shall we say intimate.
After a stretching ceremony to get the blood flowing and re-establish their personal space, they hung out on the patio and ordered tea but no food.
We followed their lead, the tea was OK but as usual when someone asked for unsweetened tea it caused quite a halt in the flow.
We punted, got sweet tea and sat in wait for the first customer to order some Q smoked by pre-treated lumber scraps. No one did.

Is this place involved in money laundering or something? OK, that doesn't make sense but neither does using 2 by 4s as a wood source, does it?
