Why would I? I wasn't even aware that Freud wore a slip.

You quoted my comment, but the Society (& acronym) was created by MikeMpls.

Traveller, so that's where you've been of late! Stuck on a plane. Does the MR at least put you into elite status?

DevilDog438 are you going to the meet in October? I'm thinking that a picture of you in that speedo next to Cholula in his lime green one will make for a good photo op.

That's one of the reasons that I am leaving my old job (besides my boss.)

Besides traveling all week, they added 30 weekend trade shows to my schedule. "A good employee works 24/7" 24/7 my a**

That is not entire correct.

If I were cooking for other people, it would be to perfection.

For myself, I prefer well-done food...

...and I was not the only one who enjoyed that sliced overly-charred beef that never made it to the fajitas at your mansion, jfe!

What an idiot.

Congratulations and good luck on your future endeavors, mikey1003, and I will see you in October...

...that is, if I can find you in that massive crowd that is forming...

That being the case, didn't you have a problem with the steaks in EZE??

Everything I read or have heard says that the "grill Nazis" at the steak houses down there decide how they're going to cook your steak, not you.

And they all prefer screamin' a$$ blood rare.

Now I can handle medium or even medium rare in a pinch but rare, cold, purple steaks are not my bag.

No, I have never had a problem with steaks in either Argentina or Uruguay.

The steaks were not only incredible, they were the best I have ever eaten.

At the very worst, they were prepared medium-well.

Nope - travel schedule and family birthdays conflict already...besides, picturing me in a Speedo of any kind might lead to convulsions and breakage of valuable camera lenses.

At one point we were the Florida Keys. I suppose that no longer applies, hmm?
