      Original Star Wars - that damn trash monster gave me nightmares for days after. :lol:

      My earliest memories (not just of a movie but any memory) was going to see the original Star Wars in the theater. What I can remember is that the seats folded up and I didn't weigh enough to hold them down, so I sat on the top edge of the folded up seat. The only thing I remember about the movie was being traumatized when R2-D2 got shot.

  2. Best arcade game?  I am torn but I think Mortal Kombat beats out Gauntlet and Cyberball.

      @RedDenver haha yup!  It was the first arcade game that I remember where the dead bodies stayed on the screen.  I remember being mind blown when I saw that!

      Naming a head coach here is moot because no one in their right mind will come here until the Big Ten quits sitting on their hands and addresses the MSU clapping issue.

      Couldn't you just make them detassel or something? Hard labor fixes most things like this I think.

      It's weird that they dont, very dated rule obviously, but there are much bigger problems for women to fight for then a golf membership for now at least. So yea I'd play and keep calling those I'm playing with Shirley.

      @teachercd, he's probably their best sports writer IMO and I think he's probably the best Husker writer in the state. I find most of his content to be fair, in-depth and to the point.

      @teachercdI have simply due to that person being a total douche.  Had a lady come in yelling at me for controlling her computer one time, she actually had a folder laying on the space bar so when she was typing it kept adding spaces throughout the email, i come in see the folder on the spacebar and take the computer "because its infected by a virus, has to be reloaded".  Kept the pc for 2 days and just brought it back to her.  Fortunately I dont deal with users anymore unless they have royally f'd up aomething.

      The Vikings. Logo was identical to the Minnesota Vikings except we were green and gold and had uniforms modelled after the Packers, at least until the 90s when they looked more like Baylor. I'm told they now wear black most of the time and have a helmet logo that rips off the Buccaneers. Seems originality has never been our strong suit, but then, neither has football (we once lost 42 games in a row).

       

      Always thought that the Viking logo was funny considering it was southern Wisconsin and most people were Packer fans and loathed Minnesota.

      I think that picking a mascot and the colors is really hard.  For the most part, those things are "forever".

      @BigRedBuster Lately I've been putting mayonnaise on steaks.

       

      If any of you just gagged and are ready to come after me with pitchforks and torches, I understand.

       

      What I do is smoke the steaks in my kamado at around 250F until their internal temperature is around 105-110F, then pull them off, put a big cast iron skillet in the kamado, and crank it up until its temperature is over 500F. Then the steaks get a light coat of mayo and go on the skillet to sear, about 20-30 seconds on each side twice (ie about 1.5 to 2 minutes total).

       

      So why the mayo? Consider its main ingredients: oil and eggs. Oil you'd be using for searing on a cast iron skillet anyway, while eggs lotsa protein for Maillard reactions with the meat to give you a more flavorful crust when you sear it. Works well, I find!

       

      As for putting mustard, mayo, or oil on briskets, ribs, or butts? Completely unnecessary, I think. The moisture of the meat itself is plenty for getting a thick coat of rub to stick.

  14. Outdoor griddle, any of you doodes have one and if so, do you use it a lot?

      @The Dude Yes, my comments were more about the dirt and dust settling on it.  I live in the country and the wind blows.  Sometimes it's dusty.  I've never owned one so I've always envisioned dust caking on the slightly greasy surface.  I do like the idea of putting a piece of plywood on top.  That would solve that problem.

       

      As far as wings, I'm a traditionalist with some things like BBQ and smoking.  I like my wings over charcoal so they have a slight smoky flavor.  For some reason, I just can't get myself to purchase an airfyer.

      Are you speaking of a cast iron hibachi style cook top? I hated mine. Propane style, large cooking surface. I found it hard to clean. And the cast iron left a grit on things. 
       

      what I would really like is a steel top with a large vat to push off residue. I’m sure it exists, I just don’t have one.

      Blackstone Griddle, that is pretty much the one I am looking at.

      Replaced insulation in the attic. New doors and storm doors (this was huge). Insulated air ducts and sealed as much of the crawlspace as possible.

      I did see it a couple times.  One was for shot tracking...poor SOB was gonna have to do 21 shots even if it killed him.  The other was a sorority friend of mine so for all I know they made a tshirt or quilt to commemorate the occasion.

      Most people would put tick marks on their arm to count shots. 21 shots is the dumbest s#!t ever, I'm surprised more people don't die from that.

      Gotta love any burger they sell by the bag full.  WC’s are the perfect drunk food. I’ve only had them from an actual restaurant twice. Once in KC when a bunch of HS buddies went down for a weekend and Royals game. The other time was with my brother as we were driving from Chicago to South Bend for the Nebraska-Notre Dame game. I pick up the frozen ones probably more often than is healthy. Love those little greasy things.

      I used to get them a lot, growing up in Chicago. My Dad looked into franchising one but they don't franchise.
