Grills
"I picked up a new Weber grill last month, it's fantastic. 44,000 BTU, and it's got like 700 square inches of cooking space."
"That's cool. The wife and I picked one up last year, it's pretty nice too. Side burner and all that."
"What kind?"
"Hm?"
"What kind of grill is it?"
"... I have no idea. Gas? It's black, and it cooks food."
"You don't know what brand it is?"
"No, but who cares?"
"I'm just saying, I don't know what kind of man doesn't know what kind of grill he has - nay, what kind of grill he just bought."
"Dude, did you just use the word 'nay' while trying to question my manhood?"
"At least I know what kind of grill I have."
I was not aware my manhood was being measured by my knowledge of grills. Here I was thinking it was all about lawn care and eating beef jerky.

Nah, I think you’re ability to start a fire without the aid of gas is more of a barometer of manhood than whether or not you know the name of your grill manufacturer.

yeah, and it's probably more important to know where what it is that you're grilling comes from more than who makes what's making it hot.

I just saw this on Queer Eye last night. The guy grilled on this dinky little NON-grill, and the first thing the Fab Five did was to *poof* it into something large, chrome, and MANLY. If a bunch of gay men know this, Omar, and you don't, well...
I really don't know where I'm going with this.

Brands are for cattle. Brand-obsessed "men" are akin to cattle. Real men *eat* cattle.
Seems like Weber-boy needs a priority adjustment.

Time for a new poll, dude. World Cup is SO yesterday.

You were getting "grilled" about grills?
How very ironic.

(I'm still laughing over the comments, especially from nadia and raj.) Is this a N.Y. phenomenon? Here in Calif. they don't seem to care about what grill you have. Everyone here still calls 'em bar-be-cues. I think they don't care because they're not out on display in public (most of the time). I mean, they care more about cars and cosmetic surgery and all the stuff you can see at first glance. Superficial stuff to impress those you've never seen and do not know. Unless you're lugging a grill around, I don't think anyone cares. Come to California and those grill problems will be over- but you'll have a whole set of new ones. Nevermind. Maybe not worth the trade-off.
