  1. So, sitting in my freezer, I have a small (13 Lb.) turkey I bought back in November to take advantage of post-Thanksgiving sales, and I'm thinking I'd like to try smoking this thing soon.  I recall the old WSM thread on Shaggy had some threads about how to do this.  Unfortunately that all got nuked in the handover to the new site, so I'd appreciate some pointers on smoking a turkey on a WSM,  specifically brine recipes,, what kind of wood chunks work best with poultry, rub recipes, cooker temps, meat temps, etc. Thanks.

  2. Private Pyle has dishonored himself and dishonored the platoon.  I have tried to help him, but I have failed.  I have failed because you have not helped me.  You people have not given Private Pyle the proper motivation.  So, from now on whenever Private Pyle fucks up, I will not punish him.  I will punish all of you, and the way I see it, you ladies owe me for one jelly doughnut.  Now, get on your faces.

  3. Oh, fuck it!  Yes, that's your answer; that's your answer to everything.  Tattoo it on your forehead.  Your revolution is over Mr. Lebowski.  Condolences!  The bums lost!  My advice to you is to do what your parents did;  GET A JOB, SIR!  THE BUMS WILL ALWAYS LOSE.  YOU HEAR ME LEBOWSKI?  THE BUMS WILL ALWYS LOSE!

  4. The Liberty Mutual ads with whiners complaining that their insurance companies did not buy them a new car after they crash their car into a tree.  I believe statistics would show that the majority of people who crash their car into a tree are speeding, drunk and/or stoned a the time of the incident, so here's an idea; how about  you stay sober and not crash your car into a tree, dumbass, or at least don't get behind the wheel after partying.

  5. I can't really pin down one best, but among the best shows I've ever seen was ZZ Top at FEC in April 1982.  This was their first show in Austin since the infamous Foot Stompin'  Barndance and BBQ at Memorial Stadium 8 years earlier.  There was an energy around campus that I had never before felt for a show, and I've never felt it since, and the show itself did not disappoint.

    A couple other memorable shows were Johnny Winter at the Austin Opera House in September 1981.  Stevie Ray Vaughan opened for him, and Tommy Shannon (formerly with Johnny Winter) had just joined Stevie's band.  It was general admission, and I was able to elbow my way to the front of the stage, so I got to watch both Johnny and Stevie doing their thing from literally an arm's length away.

    Also saw Johnny Winter at the Texas Opry House in Houston in November 1978.  The perfect venue for him, and I was luckily able to sneak in, as I was still under-age.  I was only 17 at the time, and since the place served alcohol, you were supposed to be over 18 to get in.  Fortunately, my provisional driver's license had a full face picture, instead of the usual profile, so I was able to sneak past the doorman.  Anyway, about 3/4 of the way into the show, Johnny starts taking requests from the audience, so he played a lot of his older stuff.  Great, great show.  i miss that man.

    Robin Trower at the old Sam Houston Coliseum in 1977 IIRC.

    Hey, I was at that show too.  December 10, in fact.  I still have the ticket stub.  I believe admission was $6.50.

    My first show was at the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo in 1971.  I was 9, and my dad took the whole family to see Johnny Cash.  First rock concert was Bad Company at the Sam Houston Coliseum in March 1976.  Ted Nugent opened.  A couple months later, I saw Johnny Winter at the same place, with Weather Report opening.  Awesome shows.
