I was hoping I'd be able to get the ball rolling on the "man with no arms and no legs jokes", but oh well.

What do you call a man with no arms and no legs...
...on a doorstep?
Matt
...in a crock pot?
Stu
...in a hole?
Phil
...in the ocean?
Bob
...in a mailbox?
Bill
...in a woman's dresser?
Teddy
...on a BBQ grill?
Frank
...hanging on the wall?

Brilliant. Great for malaria- and then later- the commercial application of this for backyard BBQs would be very popular.


Surely, use one to help fund the other?

50% of this sale goes towards setting these up in africa

I can't wait for the Cold Steel BBQ!

the equivalent of marching into a vegan's house and DEMANDING that they personally butcher a cow and chow down on the resulting BBQ.
So when advocates demand gay marriage and DO NOT account for these distinctions, then the legislation moves from sensible to radicalism.

Again i had to downvote your comment for two reasons this time.

1 -- How on earth are you going to sit there and attempt to seriously offer that as a comparison to gay people who campaign to have marriages acknowledged by the church? You're trying to persuade people that it's radicalism by associating it with ritual aniaml sacrifice. I doubt you can even keep a straight face when saying it. It's like going around claiming that winstonfield_pennypacker is a huge fan of adolf hitler's ideals and thinks all jewish people should be slain - see what i did there?

The only vague "vegan" comparison i can make is that you want to be a vegan but your religion requires that you eat pork at 4pm on a sunday in honour of the great almighty vajayjay. So you ask if you can join the local vegan club (.. i'm trying, give me a break) and demand that they let you in even though you eat meat. I mean, fair enough you agree with all their ideals and you don't want to eat meat, but you have no choice in the matter, you're bound by other things.

Your speculations about how gay rights campaigners can slip into radicalism by not defining their demands haven't convinced me at all. At worst it's just matter of forgetfulness or short sightedness. At best it's just a slogan to get the message across quickly - "We demand that you accept gay marriage!" Instead of - "We demand you change the law such that long term gay partners are allowed the same rights and status as straight people!" It's not quite as pithy.

2 -- Plus even if i were (and i weren't) to accept (and i don't) that your speculations prove that gay rights campaigners get radical (they don't) when they demand "gay marriage" in such a loose term, you haven't given any evidence that anyone DID this at all. You've just speculated about "if this happened, it would be radical." So not only would it still not be radical, you haven't even shown that it's happening in such a wide spread manner that you could reasonably say there's radicalism going on.

I'll warn you in advance not to reply with links to gay rights groups with one member each, all demanding that gay people get free visits to the moon, you'll prove yourself to be no better than media outlets who refer to "radical muslim extremist with a hook" for a balanced view of the middle east.

Things such as "gay marriage being accepted by the church" isn't radical, it's just asking for equal treatment.

Simple, basic rulings that say gays can visit relatives in hospitals and such are fine. These things deal with secular rights. I've never met a single person opposed to these kinds of issues. But gay 'marriage' as a concept is inherently tied to the marriage ritual, which is a sectarian ordinance that confers secular benefits. That's where the radicalism enters in...

Human society developed in such a way that Churches are where marriages tend to be performed, while secular laws were passed to promote marriage because the nuclear family unit was beneficial to society. So on the one hand if you want marriage you (as often as not) are going to a religious organization. But when you want the societal benefits of marriage, you are talking about secular rules.

So if you tell the gay community they can get 'married', then they are going to go to churches and demand the sectarian ritual to obtain the secular benefits. But many churches are highly opposed to homosexuality as a moral violation. To ask them to perform such a ritual for a gay couple would be highly offensive - the equivalent of marching into a vegan's house and DEMANDING that they personally butcher a cow and chow down on the resulting BBQ.

So when advocates demand gay marriage and DO NOT account for these distinctions, then the legislation moves from sensible to radicalism. Most gay couples just want the secular benefits. Most religions have no problem with that. But when marriage laws are proposed, they MUST contain concrete language protecting the rights of those who oppose the lifestyle on a sectarian level. Without that language, the proposal is radical because it violates 1st Ammendment protections - no matter how many 'sensible' things it may confer. This is what the bruhaha over Prop-8 was all about.

What a "civil union" might be is rather nebulous, and civil union and domestic partnership statutes as enacted thus far in the US often do not approach the breadth of rights accorded to married couples, and are in legal limbo regarding state reciprocity agreements. Accordingly, the only way to guarantee equivalent rights to married couples is for LGBT unions to have the same legal identity.

It is an issue - and one I appreciate. However - see above. You can't just say, "OK - gay marriage is legal" and ignore the fact that there are thousands of churches who will refuse to perform the ritual, and who happen to have 1st Ammendment rights protecting that stance. Civil unions are the best solution here, even though they are not perfect.

Then you can attempt to tackle the argument of forcing a religion to change its core values

The fact that there are people IN AMERICA saying these kinds of things is why religious groups are so sensitive on the subject. "Forcing a religion to change its core values" is the language of a totalitarian regime, not the USA. I know it's hard to tell with Obama in office, but it's still a free country...

I know they're bred to be cute and used for pets but...
It's interesting the way they're also the exact size to fit on a BBQ... (??)

Korean cuisine rocks, yes. I think the next SoCal Siftup should be at a Korean BBQ.

In reply to this comment by choggie:
Had a high school chum, Jeff Wong...KISS fan....we jammed together..Korean...His granny had his house smelling and tasting great alla time!...Glad to see yer enjoying the kitchen!

Gullible sifters! I could be the joseph fritzl of brazil and you´d be all gooey, "he is so nice."
I´d spit in your roast, but it would likely be enough to put off the roasting fire and you´d never figure out how to make the "magic heat that bites" again. Morons.

Now, mano a mano:

Laura, the BBQ Wolverine image you´ve posted is so bizarre it makes me want to roast myself. Better, to self-immolate. twice.

Thinker247, yeah two favorite memories. In your face, you who can only think of peggedbeas´s dry vagina, Dags waxworks and child molesting. No, that´s three memories. you win.

Blankfist you are a fake. We know you are the picture model for the goatsee and as such you never grunt when taking a dump. or even notice it.

Rougy, we may clean motels now, but we also invented them motels. We did. And your mother was there.

Inflatablevagina, you are so cute trying to be mean, I´ll help you out. Worse than pompous, both of my cats names are bad puns. (Meaow-Tse and the "Laconic" one who would only say "mee" instead of "meaow").So please execrate me as puns are humour´s low-life white trash cousins.

Ornothron, wow, now THERE is some research and effort! Congrats on the trainee who did your job. Having my fraudulent narcisistic ways exposed by a mechanical bird´s apprentice is the moon landing to my neil armstrong. And yes, it is excruciating reading through you people´s comments in order to find even one worth mentioning.

Gwiz, because you like futurama, I won´t mention your excessive concern about my body hair.

Therealblankman, except for choggie all roastees were chosen by god. So if you pray hard maybe He will listen to your high pitched whining.

Haldaug, yes, I masturbate to furry porn. but cmon, you and your wife are so hot!

Peggedbea, those were your titties covered in shit? No wonder it all seemed so normal I didn´t know the roast had even started.

kulpims, you can be the mother of my next daughter.

Choggie, when I said gullible sifters I meant you. Also you should know that when you scream fuck you we hear "good morning"

Don Juan, jump off the bridge, dont jump off the bridge, you guys please make up your mind already so i can mindlessly follow, wtf.

Dotdude, the only place I´d fear a candiru is inside my urethra, whereas spiders are scary everywhere. Also the Amazon River is closer geographically to your new orleans house than mine in sao paulo.

Rottenseed, after I wipe my tears I´ll tell you that at least (or even) blankfist know we speak portuguese, not spanish. And if I was fritzl dressed as santa you´d sit on my lap.

MrFisk, or should I say "imelda marcos", I may lure young single moms to my moms basement but you are the guy who marries them afterwards.

Lann, it was great that you put my two best memories together, thanks. Now someone explain to this "person" what is a roast.

So that is it.
Thanks for the roast, morons!

Now, Laura, you promissed I´d be tied up and filled with herbs.
never fail me again, ok?

and "Mr jester", these pitiful crowdlings dont have enough venom, so please make your dice choose easier prey for the next roast, such as Hitler
(Godwin´s law does not aplly here)

wow, I ACTUALLY have that Wolverine at the BBQ card!

um WTF BBQ lol

so obvious and simple but also counter intuitive in many ways (if your not aware of the physics ). its always cool to see visual demonstrations of physics using basic objects or highly visible objects that everyone is used to using.

Its like the first time you see a magnet float its just a WTF BBQ moment.

If you have an arch-enemy, technically you could do this when he's having some friends over for a bbq.

Now, I'm not encouraging people to perpetuate a seemingly endless war, just stating that the possibility is there.

A great Ron Paul speech from the recent Texas BBQ Bash... he speaks about health care briefly.

Violent J's Beach Boys BBQ Blowout Bash Blast? Seriously? I don't know if I'm bothered more by that title or the juggalo/clown faces.
