+1000, this is absolutely brilliant. Am actually surprised I haven't seen one of these at Young
Son The Red Neck's house. Gonna have to show him this, would look nice next to the smoker
he made from a S10 pick up gas tank.

Porcelain is just more refined ceramic, right?
You know how much people pay for those ceramic grills?!

dis, you could have left the politics out of this, this is a fabulous concept. Talk about an ice breaker at your next party! :D

I just had a rehearsal dinner for son #1, where I grilled a whole lot of stuff. Heard it was good, but as is par for the course, the cook never gets any of it. I'll bet if I had this gizmo I could have cut the eaters down by half. Hate to be sexist, but I know which group would balk at eating off this grill!

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile, so it is said.
It should also be said that their obsession with their nuts oft times
costs them their head.

When the Village Voice lost its juice


http://www.westsidespirit.com/local-new ... ts-juice/1


Sadly, but predictably, the Village Voice last week ended its 63-year run. I mourn the loss of our town’s weekly bible of pop-culture happenings, political investigations and all-round blasphemy as much as anyone. But upon examining the facts, we must recognize the Voice’s demise as a sign of these Darwinian times.

The Voice’s loss of juice reflected the status of both modern journalism and the place it was synonymous with, Greenwich Village itself.




Much of NYC's "counter culture" and artistic Mecca have now shifted to, of all places, Brooklyn [God's Country]. "New York magazine has for years now served as the city’s great media tastemaker, not the Voice."


Gone but never to be forgotten. But at least we still have their website: https://www.villagevoice.com/

It has been a long time since I read the Village Voice, but would venture to speculate that the Village Voice that I have in my mind ceased being a long time ago

This is pretty good, the girl's reaction is priceless. A big set up, supposed to be a get away week-end for the couple arranged by the boyfriend. Nothing real here, all actors and no hotel. Girl's a doctor (two sisters are too), sang in pubs and the like to help pay for college. A cutie who seems like a real sweetie, bf pulled off a pretty good one here.
