| Mr Moderators, I Move that the Forum Name be modified to be "Off Topic Except For Politics and Religion". Do I hear a second? |

You have some experience checking out the regulation knickers? No wonder the guy tossed the TV over the fence.
oops - my bad. That was FedEx, not UPS, that tossed the monitor over the fence. |

Rather ironically this is exactly what Eric has asked for 
Has anyone noticed that the OT forum description has recently changed and no longer mentions "politics" but is now:

Should I start with bananas and chocolate powder wrapped in tin foil? |

| I have a pretty good recipe for a barbequed Kenyan Rump Roast that has a lot of Earl Gray seasoning. |

| By "Earl Grey" I assume we really just mean "flavoured with bergamot"? (or does the roast really taste of tea?) |

| Reminds me when I signed up for what I thought was a cosmetology class, wanted to learn how to do the latest two tone style with the frosted tips. After a while, I finally figured out I must be in the wrong room. The dude was writing equations on the white board with a bunch of greek letters, and he kept talking about black holes and strings and dark matter. When do we get to the scissors and peroxide? |

Only discussion of those three items will be permitted!
Discussion of dogs, birds, fish, etc.etc, riding of camels, elephants or sheep, etc. etc. , other transport such as bicycles, motorcycles, cars, planes, boats etc. etc and non-BBQ recipes such as for breakfast lunch or dinner are absolute "verboten", along with the good oldies sex, politics , art, music, religion and guns etc. etc. as this Forum needs to comply with the New World Order, that we all become nannies in a nanny state. |

| Sigh... I suppose Bob Baiting is off limits. Although, is riding a sheep (an Australian thing, I'm sure) similar to getting someone's goat? |

| Do all the Europeans get my pun about the Tea Party that swept a bunch of dead wood out the door during the midterm elections over on this side? Note that my interest is not political, but anthropological or socialogical or some other logical. |

Not sure, Bob. Is that the one in the post which also refers to meat from Kenya (Africa)? If that is the pun then no, I don't get it. |

I understood the allusion, Bob, but still felt the need to correct your spelling. I'll ignore the mistakes in the above, as it's Saturday here.
My interest is extreme pedantry.
Did you follow my link to Barbecue Bob? |

Care to let the stupid and ignorant of us in on the secret?
I have historical knowledge enough to know about the Boston Tea Party but can't see the rump steak significance. |
