Arthur Bryant's

Since I am in Kansas City I couldn't help but sample some of the finest Barbecue in the world. An enormous debate rages inside my stomach as to what is better Gates or Arthur Bryant's. I'll say for ambiance and authenticity, Arthur Bryant's is the leader. I mean the pit master is named Bacon.

Lets start with this sign, I counted 71 just one half of the seating area, not including staff.

You get to look at this as you wait in line.

Now this is a PIT, it takes a minimum of 40 years to develop the necessary black crust.

Meat pile, no effing around here. I wouldn't recommend suggesting tofu to these guys. That's not dirt around the pit,that's flavor!

Behind the Scenes, yes that is a trash can full of fries.

Burnt Ends Open Face sandwich, bitches. You know you want it.

Gate's Barbecue is Friday, still my favorite.

Bonding with my Turkey

I was gazing in to my refrigerator yesterday and I notices my turkey. He looked bored, and obviously has no idea as to what was about to happen to him. So I decided to get him drunk. I staked up beer around him, double wing style, as turkeys can't make fists. As the family watched TV at night I would here a kick, or distant scratch from the door. That was my sign that he needed another.

He was going through then at 2x10 to the 9th power. I said Earl, that's what I named him, they're going to pick you up with a stick and a spoon. That's when I realized I was they, and I was going to use a fork, or maybe just pull a leg off. I gave him another and patted him where I assumed his head would be.

Yard of Jimmy

So I've eaten 3 consecutive days of Jimmy Johns. So I figure I'm up to three feet plus of Jimmy so far.

How I feel

Finally someone else gets how I feel about TACO Bar, thanks HIll!

Chip Accessory Option

Holy Christ! Double Taco Bar Month! This time it came fully loaded with the chip accessory option.

This greatly expands the versatility of the beans and quac, brilliant.

TIP: When at the restaurant, just order all beans instead of rice and beans. Deep down everyone wants more beans but they are afraid to ask. Don't fear the legume.

New Ride

My new snow tires kicked so much ass this weekend, I decided to upodate my whole ride. Here's me in my new High-Vis orange plow. CDOT lets me use it whenever. Why you ask? Because I'm MFK, and Katie Compton I was MFK long before you were KFC.

I also rocked out the Slack-Line at the ski expo this weekend. Here is a pic of Manny the mohawk just before Scott and I drilled him with Beach-balls to the face. I think he was use to that kinda of thing.

I will give him credit he only sold ski-boots to the hottest chicks. No moms, no dudes. It was impressive to watch him try to control his foot fetish.

Benefit Of the Doubt?

Back Story:

So I got new tires today, some phat snow eating Blizzaks. I hope Yoda was right about the snow year, I can't wait to put them to the test on Vail Pass. Anyway when my car was finished I swung by the tire shop on my lunch ride to pick up my car. Naturally I was in full spandex kit and helmet, and parked my bike in plain site.

The Setup:

The Hot Blonde tire manager commented on my outfit. She says "That's quite a little outfit that your wearing" Naturally I commented back " Yeah, its my racquet-ball uniform" and " I got wear a helmet when I play because I hit the walls alot." She says without missing a beat " Oh, you play raquetball, that sounds fun."

The Dilemma:

Was she that quick witted to play along, or did she really think it was a racquet ball uniform?

I have my thoughts, partly because I was charged a tire disposal fee for tires I didn't throw away. Either way I did get a free oil change, must have been the spandex.

Good Snow Year

Everyone can relax. I have consulted the authority on the subject, and it will be a good snow year.

Where's the weight room?

I can now tell you. I've been "workin out" with a hard core cycling related program. Can't you tell? I hit the keys on my keyboard much harder, they should appear bolder on your screen. I almost put my mouse through my desk when I double clicked. Check out my biceps.

Yes there are web pages where people actually send in photographs of their biceps. Interesting.

I guess this makes it official.

I have a plane ticket to Uganda.

Done for the day?

So I rolled in to work at 7 AM, don't ask me why. It's my dish day today, so I unloaded the washer. I think my work is done for the day.

I did get a little fun out of it. I mixed up where all the plates and cups go, and hid the forks. We'll see what happens.

Two-Minute Drill

Here are the thoughts that entered my head in the last two minutes

Jimmy Johns Cannon

Tatoos for construction related failures or successes

auto cad sucks

Dancing with a dog (not as perverted as it sounds)

How do they decide which side to put the handle on a coffee cup?

Stainless Steel lined explosion proof fume hoods - thats what my toilet at home should be like.

What do they mean by "Touching Moment" at the end of the World Series? did it have anything to do with an A-rod?

If you put a 1 next a 1 is it an 11 or just two 1's next to each other?

Indulgent Trail mix from Wall-Mart is really, really good.

MFK Silhouette

I'm getting really close here to making a silhouette image of the back of my head. Just sayin...

Boulder CX

After making the intelligent choice to not race the Boulder Cup this weekend, I came away with a warm feeling that I saved $100, didn't get to start in the last row of 80 people, and saved the disappointment of getting pulled after 5 laps. I wish had a better story, kinda like Todd Wells who apparently has the largest saddle sore in recorded history. He makes it sound like it has it's own zip code on his blog. Thank goodness he has restrained himself from posting pictures. Here are some of mine (Not of saddle sores)

This is a good shot of the mens start, MFK would have started here: See Below

This was the start are reserved for Faux Pro's about a 1/4 mile from the real start.

I did capture some evidence supporting my XTR 2011 prediction - XTR Electric. Adam Craig was running the DI2 Electric Shifting on his Cross bike. The conditions were just as crap as the worst MTB race I've done, and he said it worked great.

I spent the rest of the day trying to get people to stand next to Kelly Emmit so I could take a picture of her, but make it look like I wasn't.

MFK 4 Africa - Moving Forward

I reserved a plane flight yesterday, so that puts another check mark in the commitment column.

The trip is scheduled for March 12-27. I've been practicing my dance moves. I feel it will be necessary to really bond with the culture. I'm also trying to develop some kind of light-weight snuggie for the trip. Perhaps a mosquito netting snuggie. I might be on to something.

Smart Chicks

The following is definitive proof that high-school chicks are smart.

Who else could think up a way to share the same pair of pants at the same time? I bet they have some Kriss-Kross on their ipod.
