Subject: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Sep 03 - 11:46 AM Well folks, it's been a mite windy in some parts, a little damp, but hey, somewhere the sun is shining and there's folks having a party - why shouldn't it be here? I've scoured out the hot tub and filled it full of ice and beers, there's hot coals in the jello pit, tools and implements of destruction ready for use on the bar and the towels are off the hand pumps. Oh, and there's fresh, clean paper in all the right places - them newspapers were a bit too liberal with the ink smears. Let's slap someone on the barbie (or just slap Barbie?) and have us a cook-out! LTS (It would have been a Barbeque and Luao but I forgot how to spell Luao). |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Amos Date: 20 Sep 03 - 06:47 PM Luauao sounds good to me, Liz. I'll start over here digging us a big old pit --you send out for the young piglet. We'll fill it full of red-hot stones and --oh, we'll need a few kilometerss of plantain leaves to wrap that sucker in...order those too,ok? ... lessee...this looks a likely spot -- hope you neighbors don't mind a few squeals. ANd the overspray landing in their gardenias.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Sep 03 - 07:46 PM Amos - don't get too near the pond with that piggie... you know how them pirannah get when the've not been fed for a while.... Good job I took the jello out of that pit - that pig was a bugger to catch as it was! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Morticia Date: 20 Sep 03 - 08:27 PM Erm......how long do we have to keep them piranha in our bath tub? Only they've drunk all the gin ....and the vodka.....and they're looking at the cats funny....and I'd quite like a bath...and they seem to have eaten one of the duckies .....and my loofah. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Amos Date: 20 Sep 03 - 09:00 PM Maybe your loofah is out in the luau....and I still dunno if I am spelling it right!! :>) Glad that pig finally settled down to cook -- those squeals were getting to me ears!! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Sep 03 - 12:42 AM OK, so who's got the 8 pint jugs then? Someone pass me up a beer please? Morty, just drop a little kitty food into the tub and don't use that coco butter stuff.... the pirannah will settle down after a bit, those loofah's are pretty tough to digest. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Sep 03 - 03:42 PM I guess most people are still having trouble getting in.. we'll keep the coals hot for you guys!! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Sep 03 - 11:04 PM So did anyone invite Mark Cohen to this shindig? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Sep 03 - 11:10 PM How about a real fast game of croquet? Here, I'll set it up on the concrete patio. That oughtta speed things up. Oh, and could I get one of those pork chops and a cold bottle o beer? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Sleepless Dad Date: 21 Sep 03 - 11:20 PM Jerks ! Jerk chicken that is... my favorite marinade. Along with some corn on the cob done directly on the grill. Mmmmmmm. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dead Horse Date: 22 Sep 03 - 08:51 PM Pass that can of cheepo beer, I got a use for it:- http://www.bbqu.net/107.html At least the chicken died happy!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Sep 03 - 11:58 AM Bummocks!!! I forgot the mango and radish dip. Nice cossie Lizabee - but Dead Horse - did you know that Speedo's were outlawed some time ago.... particularly for gentlemen of a more generous proportion. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dave Bryant Date: 23 Sep 03 - 12:02 PM Here's 5 gals of the latest brew from Bryant's Porcupine Brewery - it's about 7.2abv so I'm going to call it F.F.L. (Full Frontal Lobotomy). It's one of my thirst quenching paler brews - the ecstasy tablets in it should help to keep you thirsty. Just let me take the cask pressure off gently - now who wants a pint ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Sep 03 - 12:14 PM Swap you for a gallon or two of pond water - my water lily has been swamped by elodia and duckweed. The snails are not doing their job properly and need to be evicted. (_)? - fill her up! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: GUEST,MMario Date: 23 Sep 03 - 12:33 PM ahhhhh! The beer's arrived - and it looks like the mesquite coals are just the right temperature to layer into the New England Style clambake pit.... Did the load of bladderwrack I had shipped arrive? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 23 Sep 03 - 05:11 PM What? A Mudcat BBQ without any extinct critters? Somebody crank up the time machine and go catch one of THESE. Boy! Bet he'd be tasty. Liz, get some Koi for your duckweed and elodea problem. I'd send you a couple, but I can't afford airfare for the little buggers and sharks'd probably eat 'em If they tried to swim. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Sep 03 - 05:41 PM The koi will eat all my daphnia and my leech wouldn't like them. I called it Archibald. Besides, the best cure for duckweed is to get a duck. Beedub - the extinct critters are marinading in the jacuzzi. Give 'em another day or so in the garlic and another 20 mins in the cajun chilli. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Lyrical Lady Date: 23 Sep 03 - 05:46 PM I'm not comin' if'n I'm gonna get slapped around! LL (Barbie) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dead Horse Date: 23 Sep 03 - 06:45 PM Not "slapped around", slept around I think it was........ Ive often been slept around, must be the way I tell long stories. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: lady penelope Date: 23 Sep 03 - 07:23 PM Put me down for the first Hula! For all those trying to loose weight I will be streaking half way through the ceremonies......... Dave some day I WILL drink your ambrosia TTFN Lady, "bacofoil", P. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 24 Sep 03 - 04:18 AM What did you put in that marinade? Just leaned over to see if my steak was done and WHOOSH, the old eyebrows have gone! Any more beers in the cooler? Two weeks of Mythos and Alpha is all very well but can't beat a British ale! RtS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dave Bryant Date: 24 Sep 03 - 05:25 AM But British Real Ale should never be put in the cooler ! Could you do with a few of my breeding herd of gazebos ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: GUEST,MMario Date: 24 Sep 03 - 09:12 AM hey; did you see that the critters is scientifically named Pattersoni? So we's barbecueing RATSPAW! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Sep 03 - 04:25 PM Damn, the secret recipe is out... the marinade included Spawspaw, which is why the eyebrows went.... the Pattersoni is very tender when done on a spit after being fleeced. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: GUEST,MMario Date: 24 Sep 03 - 04:30 PM that's right - |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dave Bryant Date: 26 Sep 03 - 05:50 AM Pattersoni Miccaris from East London are especially plump and juicy ! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: GUEST,MMario Date: 26 Sep 03 - 01:40 PM but the miccaris sub-species is pre-pickled, isn't it? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Catherine Jayne Date: 26 Sep 03 - 02:24 PM I like them raw...nice and crunchey but they are an aquired taste....pickled is good too but only in small doses. (_)> can I have have a pint of ale please??!! brought a fresh salmon and green salad to add to the food table. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Sep 03 - 12:08 AM I'll just bring along some cheap white wine. I have some nice crusty homemade Italian bread to contribute also. Or is everyone dieting and avoiding the carbs? Oops! Almost tripped over a cat and a duck! SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 27 Sep 03 - 03:49 AM That's not a cat, it's the giant African Rat. The duck is it's friend. Not sure how close a friend, but they've been under that chair now for an hour. Bring on the crusty bread, there's a couple of meatballs there with my name on them! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 27 Sep 03 - 11:54 AM Do I need to bring chairs or do you have enough? Or will I bring my picnic blankei (good thing I haven't yet given it to Bob Bolton, I never use it) & who's bringing the cricket gear? Can't have a barbie without a gane of cricket & what about the blowies & the ants - ya definitely can't have a barbie without that lot getting into everything. Can I have some corn, please? No-one's mentioned onions - or are they considered a bit too ordinary with roast pig. I have lots of fruit - including fresh dates, my absolute favourite (well, there is one less, as I've just eaten it, hmmmm, maybe I might have another) sandra (who hasn't been to a barbie for months) ps. this barbie seems to be lacking music. With all the singers & musos around,I would have thougth someone would have started singing by now. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 28 Sep 03 - 03:28 AM Well yes, now you mention it, it has been a bit quiet. I mean, when we have these do's in the tavern, you can't hurl without hitting a bodhrain or a banjo (bodhrain on a stick)... come on you guys, there must be a muso out there somewhere who isn't actually face down in the marinade? Thinks: maybe shouldn't have put so much sherry in the marinade.... There are chairs Sandra, but there's a duck and a giant African rat under one, and the other has a Roger sans eyebrows draped over it. You may find your blankie more of a comfort than before..... Right, now, shift those ponds snails out of the beer and pull up a mug. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dave Bryant Date: 29 Sep 03 - 05:11 AM Liz - that's one of my snail traps you're trying to drink out of - it's what I use my stale beer for. Those Helix Aspersa are really boozy buggers and won't miss a free drink. Well they look well marinaded - MMario, if we gather them all up, how about serving them up with some garlic butter. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Mr Happy Date: 29 Sep 03 - 07:28 AM Loo-Ow!= Toilet with cracked seat!-OUCH! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dave Bryant Date: 29 Sep 03 - 08:21 AM You stupid bugger - that wasn't the loo - that was the punch bowl - this is an outdoor event - the loo is that hole behind the third tree on the left that Liz the Squeak has just fallen into. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Catherine Jayne Date: 29 Sep 03 - 08:31 AM Must put a windbreak up around that toilet!! *helps Liz out of toliet hole* Weather is good and the BBQ is hot....put another steak on for me and fill up my tankard!.....hey Liz...there's no Melodeons!!! however everyone seems to be joining in in the singing of Yogi Bear...not started by me! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 29 Sep 03 - 09:36 AM Me washboard can't be heard acoustic over all the hubbub, I've got me Hotpoint twintub in the car, where can I plug it in? RtS (or is skiffle too 'ighbrow...?[eyebrow, geddit...who said bring back Tommy Cooper?]) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: GUEST,MMario Date: 29 Sep 03 - 09:47 AM Some guys out front with a tanker truck he says is suppossed to be here? He wants to know where he can park. (He also said it was the first time he'd ever delivered a tank with twin beer taps...) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dave Bryant Date: 29 Sep 03 - 09:49 AM Cat - the Pattersoni Miccaris looks well-done now, but then so do you - that old double mattress in the barn comes in useful sometimes . . . . must tell Liz about it - after we've hosed her down of course - could someone turn on the tap. No sign of Dave Kenningham yet, doesn't matter though - he never sings at barbecues. Mind you there seem to be quite a few people who haven't turned up yet - I thought that Richard Bridge, Dead Horse (& and the delectable Kate of course), Judel, Morty, Leadfingers etc were all invited. I must admit though, Liz, that I still think you were being rather cruel to Manitas when you told him that no melodeons were allowed because they worry the sheep and therefore players were likely to be shot by the local farmers. Still every cloud . . . . |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: GUEST,catsPhiddle sans biscuit @ work! Date: 29 Sep 03 - 09:50 AM MMArio tell the tanker truck driver to park just over here...where the queue is starting to form!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dave Bryant Date: 29 Sep 03 - 10:59 AM Hang on I'll get the beer tapped - where are the porous spiles ? Good god, they're the size of fence stakes - and is that sledge hammer what I use to knock them in with ? - OK here goes. HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! I'm trapped in this huge ball of foam in the top of the tree ! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: GUEST,MMario Date: 29 Sep 03 - 11:04 AM JAYSUS! You're WASTING the BEER!Quick! before it sinks into the ground! DRINK! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 29 Sep 03 - 07:21 PM Why is it always me ends up in the cludgy? There were melodeons, but they er.... um..... well... how can I put this.... Gosh, that barbeque is really firing up nicely now.... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: open mike Date: 29 Sep 03 - 11:25 PM i have a water melon here...any one want a slice? perhaps the seeds will sprout where we spit them! and i will skewer up some shish ka bob...love that frozen and thawed marinated tofu with mushrooms, pearl onions, green pepper , cherry tomatoes and sliced zucchini--also some tiny potatoes! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: GUEST,MMario Date: 30 Sep 03 - 09:37 AM There's a bunch of marinated, grilled shitake ready to go into the pita bread pockets. And someone better call the brewery - the tanker truck is over half empty already. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Oct 03 - 03:12 AM Beer is Dave Bryant's responsibility.... What am I saying.... DB isn't responsible for ANYTHING (except that dreadful smell in the pantry, but we let him off with a warning)! I do like a good shitake, but you can leave the tofu for the spud-botherers. Jello anyone? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 01 Oct 03 - 03:35 AM I thought I was eating beef, now I find out it was mushroom. Just goes to show: I can't tell shin from shitake. RtS (I'll see meself out...) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Virtual BBQ & other outdoor thing From: Dave Bryant Date: 01 Oct 03 - 04:43 AM You'd be somewhat flatulent if you'd had to suck up all that beer froth, Liz. Anyway even after the hosing-down, you're not exactly eau-de-cologne - the sort of toilet water that you smell of isn't usually sold on the perfume counter. |
