Holy smokes (pardon the pun) but you are definitely TBD BBQ king. Can't believe the beauty/nuance of those blends; we're gonna have a bromance! So, just to reply: (1) like you, I sometimes do/did 50/50 sauced; my ex-wife didn't like pure carnivore style... somehow I think that contributed to the divorce, lol. But my daughter likes 'em straight up. So, obviously, I've kept the latter over the former. (2) Honestly, never blended smoke woods...great tip. For beef/lamb I use a touch of mesquite w charcoal or oak, as (to my palate) the flavor can overwhelm the meat. Q on brother, you're my new hero (along w @HIT BY SPIKESof course)!

Mmmm, spare ribs and pork steaks, great choices. Love the spares over the baby backs. Well done Soj. Just btw: lately, I've been going pure Memphis style...or close enough. Custom dry rub (no sugar), 24h brine, initial oven-bake, then finish on grill 2h, cherry wood smoke. No sauce. Realize it's not for everyone....but, damn, the pork flavor really shines through!

Correct. Btw: I'm not trying to be the Gun Guy but...media reporting he was an experienced shooter b/c he had to continuously clear jams. Mmmm, I don't think so. IMO, he was using a (somewhat) rare mag-fed handgun, known for it's suppressor/suppressive characteristics. There's a certain technique one uses to manually eject rounds w each trigger pull. Maybe, idk, he spent some time w THIS particular weapon, b/c it is an unusual "operation", and he does it fairly "well". But other things he's doing leads me to believe he's not a professional, or ex-Tier 1 shooter. Two cents...

Ok, now I get it... nicely done, chef's kiss!

Sounds delicious Spikes...but what happened to the LA theme? I'm soooo disappointed in your choices. /s/

My entire take from this thread: never realized that "*****" is not TSW-censored. So....*****, *****, *****, Brady *****, hundreds of dildae, Happy ThanksDildo and Merry ***** to you all. I'll see my way out. Edit: holy crap, the word is censored. My bad. Carry on...

Now THAT is a funny reference. Well played Hondo.

Uh, I don't know about that Beck... he's lost a step. /s/

Trying to watch Rescue Hi-Serf during commercial, to relieve stress. BUT, it ain't Baywatch, so f-it.

Very quick math on KS last 17 games played (bearing in mind context @Alphadawg7 provided above): 67c/76t: 88% catch rate; 923yd @ 13.8yd/rec; 5td. Did not look at advanced stats, most importantly success rate, but I suspect they're... acceptable. Yeah, I'm biased, as he's my current favorite Bill. But, bottom line: not too bad for a 5th and as a ~WR2 (w addition of Coop/formerly Stef)...and trending up.

"If you knew Sushi, like I know sushi..." Been Nihon de wa many times, but mostly Tokyo I admit. Lucky enough to have some local female friends (err, the unpaid type) take me to the right places. Always off-the-charts delicious. @bigK14094: agree... whatever you do, don't add soy or wasabi. It's presented as meant to be consumed, sans condiments. @BarleyNY: agree... Fuji Grill Maple is pretty damn good. Not tried the one in NF near me, so reserve judgement. @Big Turk: little older than you but also a workout fiend. Anyway, go for the sashimi brother: it's like mainlining high density protein/good fats w zero carbs. Sweet, sweet muscle juice, legal variety. Expose ends.

I agree w you Sooner, sincerely. But, right now, I'm solely focused on Phins. I want heads on gd pikes ...as in Heads on F-ing Pikes boys!! Then we can (virtually) end AFCE and move to other targets.

Thank you for this: was watching on an an LA-NYC flight, sitting next to another Bills fan, and we both lost our minds, very loudly. Other passengers thought we were terrorists. Anyway, this play still drives me bat-sht crazy when I think about it (even if it was a "by-rule" call, or whatever).

Non- tendentious question as possible: is this sarcasm or a real, passive aggressive statement?

No worries. I'll just imagine the great flavors...and the JKC Wings franchises, soon to open.

@HIT BY SPIKES If you get a chance, please post image of the final JKC wings or, hell, even what they look like in the marinade. Very interesting approach: well done, sir.

Warning: random, non-sequitur stat incoming. Since Philly, Bills 8-1. Meanwhile, w no correlation specifically implied, Shakir is 32/35 on targets, 91.4%. I get it: there's YPC, Success rate, small sample, arbitrary, etc, etc. Just thought this was, ya know, interesting...

Spikes: well done ref American Legion vets.

May have mentioned before but: OMF you are one salty, clever m'fer. Remind me not to get into a comment battle with you!

Mind blown. Officially. B/c, quite literally, I just re-watched Pulp Fiction last night. I was picturing Vince Vega, tapping out TBD comments, while fully baked at Jack Rabbit Slim's.

Love you brother, but I'm pretty sure you're high right now.

Agree...I think it comes down to freakish athletic talent (and hard work). Ex: I am friendly-ish w a fmr Bills DB, and he's definitely "small" in football terms. But, I've played both basketball and hockey w this guy: his athleticism, even in retirement, blows my mind.

17 needs to elevate his game, and stop doing "regular guy" podcasts. I mean, would Patrick (or his dad) ever appear in such a forum? //s

Before this goes to PPP, I'll beat this dead horse until the plow heart stops beating. I see @Simonis looking sci-fi but--w Prime, etc--there are gems beyond the genre that are brilliant. Prime ex: American Fiction, 2023. Best movie I've seen in many years. I fully understand the African-American lens around which it has been framed. But the film, ultimately, is a profound story of every family, ethical dilemmas, love lost/gained...and etc. Since this is not an Ebert review I'll leave it there.

Thanks to @Jerry Jabberfor WR vid updates, as I don't do X. My deeply insightful mini-camp conclusion: Jesus, 17 has a friggin' cannon. Still amazing to watch.
