    I think you have to join Trump's cabinet before you can start booking private jets....
    Or be Moochelle Obama taking her "solo" foreign vacays......ya know, the ones with all the advance teams, secret service hotel bookings, etc. etc. 
    You should have gone into professional debate.  That the leader of the free world's wife gets security is cray cray!  I totally buy it!  Thanks FIFO!
    And Mrs. Robinson as well.  The taxpayers paid to babysit Moochelle's mom for eight years as well.  I guess she doesn't have any other kids.  Oh wait, yes she does.
    OK guys, I think we’ve all seen enough politics in here for awhile. Start your own early Friday thread on levels of corruption across Presidential administrations if you want to keep it going.  Thanks.

    Are ice luges frowned upon?

    Anyone going to be a DD? Haven’t got a hotel room or a place to stay Friday or Saturday night and from the sound of it alcohol will be involved. 
    Don’t worry, alcohol is prohibited inside the park.  We will only be serving various juices and Ron’s slushies are only “bourbon flavored”.
    Actually, I called them a "marinade" at one event. Great for your liver.

    That “marinade” got me plenty of votes...

    I’d say anytime after noon.  I think Matt’s planning on being there around lunch, and folks will be trickling in all afternoon.

    If it’s not a full blown party by 5:00pm something will have gone terribly, terribly wrong.

    We are assembling quite the menu for this thing.  I’ll see if I can’t post an update for y’all today or tomorrow.
    I opened the email this morning John and read the Saturday night “menu”. 

    My wife laughed and said, “that’s not a menu, that just says Brisket and Bourbon and maybe Robin is bringing a side.”

    Yup


    Did someone delete the Beef Ribs I posted?
    Don’t think so.  I think they’re listed for Friday night.
    We are bringing a hunk of beef ribs also.

    I'm sure the Ms. Can get you back to Salisbury if needed.  Just keep in mind we are old and go to bed fairly early, although this may be the exception to the rule.

    @nolaegghead - I was about to go there with @DoubleEgger 's pantry remodel and the follow-on urinal pic but I wimped out.
    How you can get axle-wrapped over airports is way beyond me.  Must be a corollary of the "Big watch, little Richard"  syndrome.  FWIW-

    Also folks, let’s not forget that you learn things here too!

    Here is @JRWhitee learning that there is not really an option to have an invisible, weightless top on an egg. Someone was letting him know when this picture was taken. You can see he is listening as they are telling him right when he was putting the “lid” down. 


    People are nice, they brought him the real top back. 
    And even reinstalled it for him.


    It was the BGE class on how to cook topless!
    Holy shizzle. Hilarious.

    I'm hoping by some mark of His Holiness above, that @lousubcap can be a late inning addition to the Blast.

    I’m going to get a hotel. I should be arriving about 7-8 Friday evening and I will hang out and come back early Saturday morning.

    Happy to report that @henapple plans to make it to this.  Although he’s skeptical of the potential bunking opportunities and is disappointed there hasn’t been more discussion of bacon so far.
