    Ashish knows a good bourbon slushy when he sees one.  Adam assumed the role of doctor at this moment.  BB3.

    @bgebrent If that is your bar of excellence....

    All of your patients should find a new doctor  ;)

    Can I filter doctors by bourbon slushie consumption on webmd?

    I have images, that will never be posted, for a price......

    The wifey is in the background with the camera. I just asked to borrow her phone for a minute... 


    That. Is. Amazing.
    Suzy thought we were all going to die, especially after the campsite clean burn, which made North Korea think we launched missiles at them, from the images seen from space.

    That had folks running for safety...

    Good times.

    This is just like a ballet between two synchronized swimmers, except with none of the grace, coordination, or athleticism, but all of the slushee.

    Ashish and I are like the Butt Blast version of Curling in the Winter Olympics.

    You may not understand it. It might not take a lot of grace and athleticism. But Americans will still crack open a beer, sit back, and watch.

    And...like curling...you can still come home with the gold. Or crawfish. :murica::rock_on:  
    This was honestly one of the funniest damn things I have seen in a long time.  I’m not sure words can do it justice.  You really had to be there.

    To some, perhaps frightening, might also be a descriptive utilized to frame a very fun evening.

    The fire. I will never forget seeing people scatter in every direction, when @NOLAegghead put a 5 gallon jug of cooking oil on a fire that was going pretty strong at the time.

    Tower of fire. I began to think about trying to explain the burned out hull of the RV we rented to its owner.

    That was rented? Would have hard to explain and harder to pay for!

    If you can’t see grace, coordination, athleticism, AND pageantry in that shot... then you, sir, are lost.

    Typically we are backpackers or tent campers.

    The main reason for the RV rental, besides weekend comfort, was a kitchen, extra bathroom, ease of getting in, as well as, ease of getting out, because we had planned to host the post party, which in doing so, was worth the rental, times two.

    My Beautiful Wife still enjoys the outdoors, and loves tent camping. Trust me, she still enjoys comfort and convenience, so compromises have been made to accomodate, although nothing major though.

    I actually liked the camper, but for now, I am fine with my Marmots.

    As cold as it was, I had enough anti freeze to stay pretty warm through the night.

    If we didn't have to drive carrying a few coolers of Slushies and need a kitchen, we might have tented it, too.

    You guys did a great job of hosting. I am betting the 2 of you would have thrown a great party no matter how you chose to camp.

    I was scrolling through this thread to tell my son about @caliking’s pakodas, and came across this photo of @bgebrent and @JohnInCarolina cuddling, and I noticed that it appears that Brent had pissed himself. What gives?
