    @LitTrog - You have plenty of time to sit and think at "the home," don't you? Not that this is a bad thing. Personally, sometimes I just sits and thinks...and other times, I just sits.

    Hmmm...I can see why you might think that, but the truth is quite the opposite. The small section of brain available for idle thought works overtime during the day and my governor gets a little overwhelmed. Unable to properly regulate the flow, it allows many things best suited for my cognitive composter to spill out into words and action. Unfortunately, although I recognize the problem, I am really in no position to correct it. Purple monkey dinosaur.

    Love it. I suffer on occasion from the same malady. Unfortunately, I sometimes forget to be sure to "engage brain before putting mouth in gear." Not to mention the related corollary "A closed mouth gathers no foot." But I am an admirer of your musings and ruminations. Carry on!

    Take it to a mohel and/or Rabbi if you want it to stay Jewsy.

    This pic makes perfect sense--the Weber is clearly a product of Scottish ingenuity and frugality: before Tavish MacWeber introduced his prototype, the cooking surface on all outdoor cooking systems was simply a solid slab of iron. By raiding his cousin's nearby scrapyard for radiator grilles, he was able to cut production costs by 38% and shipping costs by 20%.

    I heard that he sunk those savings into R&D for a grill-specific sporran imbedded with the tools of the trade. This effort to enable hands-free grilling, while a great success in the lab, was a commercial flop. It seems the wild hip gyrations necessary to turn a steak turned guests' stomachs as well.
    Now we all know that the home of the fried mars bar wouldnt do that, BUT, as any reader of the Sunday Post will tell you Oor Willie just happened to have a well used bucket, and on a Sunday (well i have to make it holy somehow) he was asked by his Ma to empty the coals from the grate, which being the industrious type of guy he is, he did in his holy bucket...

    Taking it outside however he was offered toffee by wee boab, snd anticipating his hands getting sticky he put the bucket down, now at this point the broons offered them an auld fitba, and while they were playin and enjoying the toffee Jock wandered by with his fresh catch of fish... Seeing the bucket of coals he decided to do a quick bit of grilling... Of course such a novel scene was bound to be caught on camera... And that's how the webers got the idea... And as a homage to its origins, they make a yearly pilgramage to scotland to pay their royalties (it was a messy legal affair involving copyright infringement)... True story...
