I feel like the explanation of what I did over the weekend will be "I went to a BBQ and a race broke out"

I like this!

That's the general plan.  We're bringing a gremlin just in case.

We're much nicer to teams that feed us properly.

For dessert, find the TetanusNeon Saturday night.  It's Chris' 39th birthday, so we'll have cake.  Come on by and heckle him for getting old, then chow on some sugary goodness.

Can't wait!

Well it is the same gremlin from last time, so you know we don't need too many bribes, but I have no idea how well we'll drive so we may still need it!  We didn't really get too much track time last race...how did you put it, "disappointingly unreliable"?

Based on past experience, ll I have to say about the Lemons Pit Cuisine Contest is: if you ain't from Louisiana, you ain't likely to win.

True dat.

Texas chili doesn't have no stinkin' beans.  And I *like* Texas chili.  Texas traditionalists put the beans in a side pot... but I've had some goooood chili cooked with the beans in the mix.

So more power to ya, and see you Saturday!

...so I've learned, when my friend insisted calling my favorite winter meal a "bean dish".  I'm from way down South Texas, we don't eat a meal without beans, may as well mix 'em up.

Cans?  I thought beans came in burlap sacks.
