Kingsford Charcoal - 30# for $5.48 at yer local WalMart

They didn't have any of the 2x15lb. bags at the Chamberlain Lane location as far as I could tell. They only had a 2x13.9lb which was about $14. I may have to stop by the La Grange Wal-Mart this weekend since I'll be out that way. By the way, that location is the best in the area for people-watching in my opinion.

10-4 on the people watching...It can create a little drama though. I was trying to get a candid picture of this fat lady wearing a pink tube top, riding around on one of those electric carts...she spotted me though and hopped off that thing and started chasing me around the store yelling "Dark-Sided-Not Christian".

I did find a video of her on the internet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3mDLsyn6ns

Hey, BTW...I've got about 30 bags of that Five dollar and forty eight cent charcoal stacked up in the garage, if you feel a need comin' on I can front ya a few bags.

Jeez Robin you need to step out of LHB once in a while and get out in the land of internets. This is a common meme posted during an internet train wreck that signifies that one is just sitting back enjoying the show.

Used correctly it may elicit a chuckle or smile from other community members, but no it does not contribute to the train wreck of a thread, nor was it meant to.

As this point i would say this particular subject is not salvageable so best to either make light of it or delete the thread entirely.

Jason, you're right, I don't get out into the Interwebz much.

My point, however, is that we don't value train wrecks here, and your "contribution" doesn't really help cool things off. I'd rather count on the people here to have good sense than for me to have to run around shutting down conversations and banning people. So work with us, willya?

Are you African-American, by the way? I take it that avatar was meant to be autobiographical ...

Yes it is meant to be autobiographical, now you're getting it. Its use, however, is open to all races.

Look man, I just come here to learn about restaurants. I assumed if you are going to let a thread degrade this far off topic, a funny picture was not inappropriate. But I'll refrain from posting another in the future.

Oh and also, I DO get out on the interwebz a lot, and trust me there is nothing wrong with deleting or moving a thread or banning someone.

I realize this is not the way you want to run your site, but as it gets more popular you may have to exercise a little more oversight to make sure the content is civil and relevant. Otherwise you get guys like me posting memes on a thread about charcoal on the restaurant forum, because hey, when in Rome...

Oh, Jason, I do delete, lock and ban on occasion - I'm still thinking about it in regard to ONE post on this thread - but I like it when we can avoid that kind of authoritarian stuff in favor of being a collegial community. Where an occasional fight breaks out.

If you want to help me spread my wings on the webz, feel free to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter. I need all the help I can get, since I've only been doing social media since 1984.

your obsession with Jackie, since you are a married man, are just fucking weird.

To interject a little humor on the subject at hand, I couldn't let this go without mention and then I'm mum on the subject. Sorry about the R-rated language, but those of you that know me outside of the virtual world know that I have a penchant for using four letter words as colorful metaphors.

I like Jackie a lot. She's one of the coolest people I know and I am married as well. If I were using Troy's words to describe Jackie, "fucking awesome" would fit her well. So I guess I'm fucking weird also? I chose foodservice as a profession so apparently that must be true, because you have to have a fucking screw loose to do this for a living .

Lol, you got me there. Sorry didn't mean to suggest you don't know your way around the internet. I think I have a mental image of you spending your evenings at a wine tasting or reading classical literature in between writing prose, with only a couple of minutes a day for internet usage which you must dedicate to LHB.

Another example of the different interpretations of communicating via the web: I had a totally different reaction to this than you did, Robin. I laughed out-loud; assumed Jason was trying to point out how much silly drama was being created and trying to make us laugh at ourselves....

I think Jason and I are getting along okay. I was a little perturbed this morning because of the timing of his post ... early in the day, when it looked like the fires were finally dying down, and then an (arguably stereotyping) image brought it back to the top again. But, no harm, no foul. I'm really thinking that the only post on this thread that most puts me out is Troy's, because it contains false information that could be damaging to our business. But I'm hoping he'll come back sober by daylight and help sort that out.

I'm pretty sensitive to stereotyping, but is there a stereotype of black folk eating popcorn? Am I missing something?

:shock:

Upon brief contemplation, I have to admit I'd love to have an American Walmart where I live.

They've not done that well in Germany, if memory serves. That speaks highly of the Germans.

It either means people around here are acting like clowns so I'm going to have some popcorn and enjoy this circus, or I plan on dancing in the street with a bunch of zombies a la "Thriller". I don't get what stereotype it's supposed to depict.

Take another look and don't make me spell it out.

Robin - you know I love you, but I'm at a loss... will you please spell it out? Seriously, the only thing I can come up with is a reference to Michael Jackson, the beer compendium guide's (or whatever it's called) author?
