Fellow Netizens, my friend Cbullitt of Soylent Green alerted me to an internet-wide blog protest in response to the Censorship of the cable cartoon show “South Park.” The image above, with permission from the designer Chris Muir, is scheduled to show up throughout the blogosphere at midnight tonight. Cbullitt wrote:

“I’m not an artist or Cartoonist, but Chris Muir is and Trey Parker and Matt Stone are. And Theo Van Gough was. Muir, whose work you see above, obviously does not ascribe to the dictum displayed in the cowardice of Comedy Central, the EU, and the U.S. Government under the last four administrations, namely: Feeding the crocodile in hopes that it will eat you last.”

To be truthful, I’ve never seen an episode of  “South Park” although I understand its popularity due to its irreverent humor.  The recent imposition of domestic sharia law on the writers of “South Park” for a joke involving the Prophet Muhammed is inexcusable in the Land of the Free and the Home of the First Amendment.

Let’s celebrate our First Amendment Rights before we lose them with an Overnight Open Thread.

BBQ and an open thread, drinks on the deck.

SO today, coldwarrior and mrs coldwarrior are doing some bbq with new charcoal grill

‘puti’ didnt get the memo this morning and she thought we were going to the country club instead.

So, here is the setup, and the meat, on the left is full brisket and on the right is a pork shoulder for pulled pork, these were taken at the start of the day.  Both are rubbed with wonderful spices.

the firebox with a large chunka cherry.  we are yankees so we use cherry and maple to smoke our bbq sometimes. apple also works very nicely. And of course we will use the classic mesquite and pecan sometimes. today its cherry and apple with a spicy rub to balance the sweeter smoke.

After about 6 hours of the good smoke, i place foil under the cuts to prevent too much drying out. They get basted with their own juices and maybe sprayed with a pure maple syrup/water mix to keep them moist for the next 8-10 hours of cooking.  Never exceed 225F, and always have drinks at the ready!

We use Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, i cant make it any better than his, nor do i doctor it up, so i dont bother anymore. It works great with the rub.

The brisket will be used for lunch meat (kinda like pastrami), in texas jailhouse chili, and for dinner.  The pulled pork will be frozen for later as sandwiches or as an ingredient.  $45 worth of meat will go a very long way.

“…and therefore, (+1) = (-1). Any questions?”

I remember this problem. It’s called “Find the Typo.”

[Hint: The typo is about +26.5 degrees from the vertical ray centered on the professor’s head, and 5 lines down on the y-axis. It should say “inverse cosecant” but instead he wrote “boobs.” Click here for more info.]

Coincidentally, I found an old high school notebook in the garage today. An unsent postcard fell out that dates back to when Teh Google was still analog:

It just occurred to me that we haven’t had an Overnight Open Thread in a while. Want to talk about wombats and weasels? Here’s your chance to shine.

You’ve Got Company.
