Barbeque

Barbeque or barbie (alternatively "bar be a queue" with the acronym BBQ) is a relatively modern term which refers to awaiting food, as first practiced by prehistoric humans.
==History==
Barbequeueing appears to have been lost to civilization throughout Biblical times, except in Israel where it was practiced religiously, and in medieval Europe where it was done only to witches. For the rest of the world, barbequeueing was rediscovered accidentally by an Persian nomad in the summer of 1241 AD, when the food he was preparing in a pot exploded and was totally consumed by the consequent fire. Seeing this as a reason to gather friends together for a discussion of sultanic politics, virgins in heaven and camel saddles, he called several friends to his tent and repeated the process, after which they hired a woman to clean up.
==Equipment==
Today, "barbequeue grills" are sold in many stores. The modern barbequeue grill may have electric lights, hot and/or cold running water, a Jacuzzi attachment (optional) and a beer spigot. The modern barbequeue grill is useful for:
*Completely burning sausages or meat you put on it
*Warming the Jacuzzi, and providing a heated seat
*Spreading smoke (which drives away mosquitoes)
*Bringing offers to your neighbors
*Having fun (sadists)
*Pretending men know how to cook
==The process==
===The fire===
A barbequeue fire uses both a "fuel" and a "flavor" element, and requires a flammable tinder. The best fuels for a barbequeue fire:
*Thousands upon thousands of wooden matches (at least one of which must be "strike anywhere")
*Charcoal briquets (which are actually a mixture of petrified buffalo dung and cigarette butts)
*The food that inevitably falls in
===The wood===
The preferred "flavor" elements for a barbequeue fire, in order of preference, are:
*Lighter fluid
*Several charcoal briquets
For flammable tinder, use either aviation fuel, premium grade gasoline, or 120-proof (or stronger) liquor. Charcoal "lighter fluid", although marketed for this purpose, is not suitable for lighting a barbequeue fire; in fact, so-called "lighter fluid" is routinely used by the Metropolitan Houston (Texas) fire department to extinguish major oil refinery fires.
===The food===
Although the preferred food for barbequeues varies greatly from region to region, generally the foods used in barbequeueing fall into one of the following categories:
*Meat harvested from a freshly killed animal, such as a cow, buffalo, or bull elephant
*Meat harvested from a frozen and previously killed animal, such as a cow, buffalo, or polar bear
*Sausages, which are not considered meat by the Hasidic Jewish community
*Breasts and thighs of chicken, turkey, African swallow, or Pamela Anderson.
For a vegetarian barbequeue, try potatoes, tofu patties, or recent editions of the New York Times. (Some research indicates that soaking the potatoes in salt water for three hours prior to grilling will cause the potatoes to not feel any pain from the heat, but this claim is disputed by PETA.
====Barbequeue sauce====
Most barbequeue chefs recommend using a sauce that contains tomato paste, spices, and either beer, wine, or breast milk from pregnant alligators. Marionating is the act of using a puppet with a hollow body and working urethral system to drip the sauce onto the food for several hours prior to actual cooking.
Also, do not cook the following substances as food:
*C-4
*Turtles
*Alien genitals (multicolored or otherwise)
*Pasta
Or I will come to your house and retile your roof without express written permission, and I'll do a damn crappy job at it, too!
==Barbequeueing==
The barbequeue, known in the USA as the barbequeue or BBQ, is a method of cooking that has become extremely popular in recent years. At its most basic, a barbequeue is a simple pit dug into the ground and filled with charcoal; however, there are also various space-age types that use electrickery, gas or even uranium as fuel. Because barbequeues involve open flames, most people are far too stupid to use them without injuring themselves. Here is a guide to safe use:
*Place charcoal in barbequeue.
*Use nasty smelly waxy firelighter things to get the charcoal burning. These can be ignited with matches, and will produce a particularly acrid, stinky smoke that makes you cough your guts up.
*Wait for firelighters to burn away. Your charcoal will now be very much not on fire. Use more firelighters, following the same instructions as previously. Once they've burnt away, your charcoal will still not be alight. Continue until you run out.
*Attempt to get it going using rolled-up newspaper, with as much success as you had with the firelighters.
*Loudly exclaim, "Ah fuck this, let's do it the Man's Way!"
*Siphon petrol from car (preferably someone else's car, petrol is expensive).
*Liberally douse charcoal with petrol, and ignite with match. Realise that you're going to look like a right twat at work on Monday without any eyebrows.
*Observe charcoal fail to ignite. Pour more petrol on. At this point it will become apparent that one tiny bit of charcoal had in fact begun to smoulder.
*Observe vast mushroom cloud as it majestically rises above the neighbourhood. Think how you're going to look an even bigger twat at work on Monday now you have third-degree burns all over your face.
*Wait for charcoal to die down to a gentle smouldering. It may go out more several times, so repeat the reenactment of Nagasaki with the petrol. After all, we all know petrochemical explosions are cool.
*The more effeminate barbequeue chefs may choose to marinate their meat for 1–24 hours in one or more of the following: olive oil, red wine, malt vinegar, curry, gypsy tears, distilled essence of baby, acetone or wood grain alcohol.
*Place meat (which by now should have been in direct sunlight for at least two hours) on barbequeue grill. When the outside is blackened and charred, it's ready for consumption (but not necessarily by humans). The meat should be in the form of sausages and hamburgers, both of which are guaranteed to contain e-coli, and the biggest lumps of steak available. Remember the old barbequeue maxim: "Knock off the horns, wipe its arse and it's done!"
*Berate any vegetarians present, telling them they shouldn't have bothered coming if all they're going to eat is rabbit food.
*Go to work on Monday, bravely suffer taunts of colleagues over the serious facial burns and missing eyebrows. At 10:30 suddenly develop a really, really, really urgent need to "go".
*Spend the rest of the day vomiting blood and excreting something that resembles lumpy coffee.
==Barbequeue tips==
#If you have a bottle of beer, you can wear a pink shirt.
#If you have a giant slab of partially-burnt meat all stuffed in your mouth, you can still wear a pink shirt, as long as you dribble on it.
#If everyone else is full, and very, VERY drunk, you can wear ridiculously tight hot pink lycra, and drink champagne.
#If you're barbequeueing, you're entitled to most of the meat.
#NEVER GIVE THE MEAT TO THE DOG! THINK ABOUT IT!! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT?!?! (This is negated incase of burnt-beyond-tasty food. Give it to the dog and watch it cough char. It's awesome.)
#BBQ is NOT a substitute for a Barbequeue.
===The family barbequeue===
The family barbequeue is largely a woman's job, as illustrated below. This is because the men are often too busy engaging in watching homo-erotic sports, such as football on television, and therefore cannot help. The exception is if you are TK Pit Bitching.
====A typical family barbequeue====
*The woman makes the salad.
*The woman lays out the table.
*The woman prepares all the drinks.
*The woman puts the coal on top of the grill of the gas barbequeue.
*THE MAN TAKES OVER AND LIGHTS THE BARBEQUEUE.
*The woman brings the meat to the barbequeue.
*THE MAN PUTS THE MEAT ON THE BARBEQUEUE.
*The woman screams hysterically at the man when the meat is just starting to cook.
*The woman screams hysterically at the man when the meat is burning.
*THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE BARBEQUEUE AND GIVES IT TO THE WOMAN, WHO PUTS IT ON THE TABLE.
*The woman cuts the meat and distributes it amongst everyone.
*EVERYONE THANKS THE MAN FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT BARBEQUEUE.
*The woman cleans up.
In some cases, depending on social background, the man puts on a sleeveless T-shirt and smacks his woman around when everyone leaves for flirting with his friends during the barbequeue. Incidence of this increases when alcohol is used as a flammable tinder.
==BBQ==
But don't be fooled! Many people fall into the trap of associating BBQs with Barbequeues. They are similar, BUT the meat's puree'd until it's tofu-like (in texture), and served with ice-cold Gazpacho. Delicious. BBQs are also used as a men's (less boring) version of "dinner party".
==Barbequeue Illuminati==
A long-rumored secret society was reportedly founded in New York's Suffolk County in the early 1870s. In addition to bottling and consuming their own secret sauce, members conspired to wreak havoc on non-member 'queue-ers and, by various methods, ensure their failure at the grill. In 2007 a faction of the Illuminati broke off after numerous disputes over the production and sale of Illuminati hats, and the Ash Holes sect was subsequently formed. Described as a hybrid between the Church of Scientology and Blue Man Group, the Illuminati has reported boasted such members as Booby Flay, Dan Krueger (inventor of the boneless rib sandwich made popular by a certain fast food joint), and George Bush Sr.
==Influence on penguins==
Barbequeues are a very popular cooking device all over the world, except in the hot countries, because they just take out their drumsticks from Costco, leave them in the sun and wait ten minutes. The most popular place with Barbequeues is not the United States of America, as most people would expect. It is actually Antarctica. What with all the Hollywood trends, penguins have now decided that eating raw shrimp is "unCOOL" so now, the entire continent has at least three billion barbequeues, approximately one million barbequeues per penguin. The barbequeue has a great impact on the penguin's life. Ever since the Peanderthals popped upWhich came first, the Peanderthal or the egg? they have been trying to cook their food over fire.
Unfortunately, two problems made this quite difficult to achieve: One, this was back when everyone roared or grunted."English" – let alone "Antarctica" – had not been invented. Sadly, many people did not catch on. A prime example of one who "missed the boat" was the man name Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor. He was on the reality show Home Improvement which set cameras in his family's house and invited people to come inside and laugh at his families misfortunes. This show is not to be confused with a sitcom called Home Improvement which ran in the nineties and featured rising astronaut doll Buzz Lightyear (who was soon to become the Santa Clause) as Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor) was undersea and the only time that you can light a fire under sea is when you are an anthropomorphic yellow sponge who lives in an edible, juicy, collective fruit of a tropical, bromeliaceous plant, Ananas comosus, that develops from a spike or head of flowers and is surmounted by a crown of leaves with a domesticated or tamed animal that is kept as a companion and cared for affectionately who just happens to be a mollusk of the class Gastropoda, having a spirally coiled shell and a ventral muscular foot on which it slowly glides about. The anthropomorphic sponge's neighbor is a several ten-armed cephalopods, as of the genera Loligo and Ommastrephes, having a slender body and a pair of rounded or triangular caudal fins and varying in length from 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) to 60–80 feet (18–24 m) who lives in a representation of a Moai, most commonly found on Easter Island or in Las Vegas.
The anthropomorphic sponge's boon companion is a echinoderm of the class Asteroidea, having the body radially arranged, usually in the form of a star, with five or more rays or arms radiating from a central disk; he is a color varying from light crimson to pale reddish purple and wears green men's loose-fitting undershorts with an elastic waistband. The anthropomorphic sponge works at a place where food, as hamburgers, pizza, or fried chicken, that is prepared in quantity by a standardized method and can be dispensed quickly at inexpensive restaurants for eating there or elsewhere. His person who employs or superintends workers is a decapod crustacean of the suborder Brachyura, having the eyes on short stalks and a short, broad, more or less flattened body, the abdomen being small and folded under the thorax, who likes circulating medium of exchange, including coins, paper money, and demand deposits and who has a female child or person in relation to her parents named after a smooth, rounded bead formed within the shells of certain mollusks and composed of the mineral aragonite or calcite in a matrix, deposited in concentric layers as a protective coating around an irritating foreign object: valued as a gem when lustrous and finely colored, and who is of the larger marine mammals of the order Cetacea, esp. as distinguished from the smaller dolphins and porpoises, having a fishlike body, forelimbs modified into flippers, and a head that is horizontally flattened.
The other reason why Peanderthals could not properly boil their food was because they did not have opposable thumbs. One must have opposable thumbs to to things with thumbs, such as provide a "thumbs down", know that you have four additional phalanges, and operate a motor vehicle. They couldn't do any of those, save for the last, which is how they ended up losing the privileges of using all their fingers.
After the Peanderthals' misfortune, they started eating their fish raw. Sadly, they were exposed to a high amount of salmonella, and since only salmon and people named "Ella" are immune, they became instinct, save for one little Peanderthal who then grew up to be James Bond.
Centuries after, in 1905, a boy named Frank Epperson left out on his porch a mixture of powdered soda and water that contained a stir stick. That night, temperatures in San Francisco reached record low temperature. When he woke the next morning, he discovered that it had frozen to the stir stick, creating a fruit-flavored icicle ... a treat which he named his "epsicle". He then waited 18 years before releasing it to the public.
Two hundred years before that, though, a man named Cornelius Butwipe Gayman (which back then basically meant "ManWithAwesomeName HelpfulManThatShouldBeHiredForMuchPayAndLittleWork Happy") found James Bond (the first; remember, he used to be a Peanderthal?) collapsed on his magazine stash (an investigation later found that there was a shocking magazine Cornelius shouldn't have had: it was the risqué edition of Amusing-Times Gentleman and the centrefold featured a lady showing her ... ankles. Cornelius then was mashed into a pulp, had his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken; had his kneecaps split, and his body burned away; And his limbs got all hacked and mangled. (There's more..)His head smashed in and his heart cut out and his liver removed and his bowels unplugged and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his ding-dong split.)
Before Cornelius was punished, he saved James Bond #1 from a life of free alcohol, being paid to gamble and plenty of hot women. One may ask how so? The answer is quite simple, actually. Cornelius went into his Victorian Mansion and brought out a photo of Bella Swann, from the Twilight series. James Bond turned into a penguin and ran as far as he could, to the South Pole, because Cornelius lived in the North Pole. Then a polar bear, just strolling by, spotted the picture of Bella Swann and instantly devoured Cornelius for such insult. Then the polar bear followed the penguin so they could share some Coca-Cola.
Because of the rise in barbequeues, businesses in Antarctica specializing in barbequeues alone have risen. For example, in Antarctica's capital, Toronto, there are thirteen businesses selling barbequeues by penguins to penguins from penguins made by a mommy penguin and a daddy penguin, or sometimes two mommies or sometimes two daddies and occasionally, a penguin who's had its feathers changed after the baby penguin has hatched and then the mommy\daddy penguin leaves to marry another mommy or daddy penguin who is more "understanding" of the transvestite penguin.
The growth of the penguin-run businesses have become so popular that there are other stores for penguins. There are formal bars and formal dance clubs, Mr. Big and Tall, Moore's and there is even an underwater hotel made of ice. Of course the ice is thin, and five times a week the giant ice windows in the Ballroom (formal, of course) will burst, and it takes 200,000 penguins to rebuild it. Of course, this did supply jobs for the poor penguins during the Great Depression, although many were fired because they could not handle the tools one must use to sculpt an ice brick. Sadly, those penguins are either
*Imprisoned by a balding bearded man, wearing much fur, in the Tall Tower of Swamp Castle. The father will then wish them to marry against their will, causing them to send a note with a red ribbon by method of bow and arrow. Sadly, Danny DeVito in a tuxedo has had to undergo this procedure twenty or more times, and he still hasn't gotten the references to Monty Python. The penguins cannot keep Danny away either, now that he knows where they live. (He watched Happy Feet on Pay-Per-View) or
*Just too darn good, because using an ice hammer to sculpt a block of ice is simply too hard.
Penguins' barbequeueing has had a great impact on the media. For example, at 42:23 on the March of the Penguins movie, if you pause it and Zoom in, you can clearly see REAL penguins barbequeueing! Also, in the Wallace and Gromit short "The Wrong Trousers", the penguin is wearing a RED rubber glove on his head and stating that he is a chicken. Where'd he get the glove from, eh? Certainly not a hardware store, like Rona. Because there are no Rona's in Antarctica, I think. I'm not quite sure.
So, the penguin must've gotten it from a barbequeue, right? And it's red, so that means he was wearing it when he was barbequeueing and accidentally left the glove on the grill instead of the meat! And he got the idea of becoming a chicken from having gone to Costco and having to choose between chicken and lambchops. He immediately chose the lambchops though, because lambs are mean to poor little penguins because lambs kick the penguins, the penguins receive sun when it is not cloudy, the sun grows the food, the ants pick the food, the grasshoppers eat the food and the birds eat the grasshoppers.
