Like there's a difference.... :dry:Quote:

We got given one of those behemoths that you describe but it's just like a massive cooker on wheels and I just figure you may as well cook in the kitchen and bring the food out when it's done.
You're absolutely correct about behemoth on wheels, I've already flogged it for a nice profit :blink:Quote:

No, I understood what you said, but I was wondering why such a thing exists. Beef Supreme is a movie character reference.Quote:

It almost makes me wish I didn't have a man-servant who takes care of that kind of thing.
Yes Masport do make alot of man toys, now back to the barbie, it's the middle of winter here so not exactly ideal bbq weather, it's been one of the worst winters on record so far in actual fact so no, no I'm not standing outside for even a short period of time and pretending. Which sealed the fate of the barbie, now personally I would have loved nothing more than to have stored that bad boy away for spring, but no..... practicality reared it's ugly head and beat that dream to death. There was a 'meeting' to 'discuss' what 'we' should do with the barbecue, it didn't go well for the man team.....:sadwalk:Quote:

That was much different than the image I had in my head. I guess I've just seen too many oversized 2 burner solitary purpose bbqs.Quote:

Manker doesn't eat meat, and Art gives up his badass BBQ without a fight. Don't you both look darling in your skirts. :pinch:
I'd make some joke about you being a kept man, but I'm worried you'll be packing heat at the upcoming fst re-union and might shoot me in the face after a couple of Appletinis.
Kept man with a private theater, kick ass BBQ and smoker, motorcycle, guns... I could go on, but I wouldn't want tears spoiling those high heels you are wearing. :noes:Quote:

I missed their comments. I absolutely love mine. Less expensive than many high-end TVs.Quote:
