    Toe 49,The kids say, I’ll smoke just about anything and I always have a big Smirk on my face when I’m smoking something. So Smoke-N-Smirk! It became.

    Wise One,
    So...sort of a nickname to my handle? Just might do it. Especially since my Egg has arrived and I'm sure I will be posting lots of comments/questions soon. C in C

    Toe 49,[p]As the name suggests, I like potatoes. Always have and always will. Anyway you serve them. Fried, mashed, stuffed, julliened, boiled, blanched, hashed, smothered and covered, grilled and barbecued. In a boat, on a train , in a plane, anywhere, anytime. Carry out, picnic, in transit or in the hot tub. Dan Quayle can misspell all he wants, it only makes me want more. What Bubba was to shrimp, I am to potatos. Have always been called Tater.
    Nice thread.

    Wise One,
    I was wondering how that happened also. When I first tried to post, I didn't enter my name and it came back "error" and I corrected it--maybe that had something to do with it?

    Think this is the one of the longer threads I have seen here that was all positive!! Good on ya Toe![p]I was introduced to this forum by WooDoggies - an old friend from NC. And when I got to thinking of a name to use - Cap'n jumped out - it was my nickname at the pub at my grad school out in Phoenix. My last name is Morgan and I used to drink rum a lot - hence the name.[p]Cheers,
    Brian

    Toe 49, My favorite food is Beer and my first name is Mike. I began brewing my own beer about 10 years ago and just can't stop brewing it and drinking it. I have at least 2 kegs on tap at anyone time. I noticed I drink a lot more beer when it's on tap. My wife thinks I am obsessed with beer. I purchased my large egg about 1 1/2 months ago and my wife thinks I am obsessed with the egg (and the forum). I think I might try brewing a batch using the egg. Has anyone does this before?[p]BYO beer, BeerMike

    I think it's time for another beer!

    Toe 49,
    Hmmm... I am very active in out local construction trade and I handle most of the residential construction financing for our county. One day, a group of contractors and sub contractors were having a trade association meeting and we began to share Nextel numbers. I'm not on nextel so everyone had to program my number into their phones a little different. One of the contractors suggested Banker John because it had a special "ring". The name kinda stuck.

    Toe 49,[p]Great thread indeed!! This kind of thing sort of helps "fill in the blanks" for the long, and short timmers alike here on the Forum!![p]As for me.....Well in the "old days".... I was known to eat a bit!! I grew up in the Midwest, (Southern Indiana and St Louis).Barbecue was known to be a particulair favorite of mine![p]At the drop of a hat... I'd throw a scare into a rack or two of "Spares"!![p]My buddies swore that anytime we'd happen across that "Sweet Hickory Smoke" risin'....I'd "Pop a Chubby"!! Now....for those of you who know what "that" means...well, there's no further explanation required!! [p]Were they right.......??? Maybe so....But I'm not tellin'!![p]I'm not the threat I once was to large ammounts of Pork Ribs, but..."They still call me Chubby, and any of the fine folks here are welcome to also"!![p]

    I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!!

    Toe 49,
    Mine is a tribute to my grandson Jack who died almost 5 yrs ago. I also make a chili rub that I sell to my freinds that I call Jack's Chili Rub. No plans on going commercial yet but everyone says I should. Anyway I felt it a good way of remembering him(like I'd ever forget). He was named after me in a fashion being that Jack is a nickname for Jon. That's my story anyway
    Stay in the smoke

    Car Wash Mike, To quote the anthem cried in 1985, "You gotta BELIEVE!" I can't believe I am saying that as I still bleed Cardinal Red. Even though I have worked for the Royals since '93, this is my first year of being a true blue Royals fan. I listen to the Royals on the radio now instead of the Cardinals. My Grandpa Juggy is rolling over in his grave..........[p]Thanks to everyone regarding their kind words. I haven't been on line much the last six weeks and I have had limited time to post.[p]BTW Mike, if you got time this Saturday, come on up to the 'burg. Dad and I will be cooking in the Johnson County Fair KCBS BBQ Contest. Show up around noon, sample what we have cooked and help us decide what to turn in. :-)[p]Beers to all,[p]JDB - Juggy D Beerman
