bbq fun!

so as you know if you've been reading this stupid thing over the past week or so, i recently bought a little charcoal grill. tonight we decided to invite people over for the first (hopefully first of many) bbq in our backyard. a bunch of people came, we ate, we played eat poop you cat, we laughed and generally good times were had by all. here's a pictoral telling of the evening. photos were taken by carolyn my housemate....

here is chris (doesn't he look like tom cruise???) taking charge of the grill after i lit it and set up all the coals and everything. connor, he's taking over your role as the local grillmaster....



paula, cory, casey, and i are standing around the bench looking silly:



here's erica with the plate of french fries that she made. yes, she cut up potatoes and deep fried them in her fryer. they were actually very good. we were all impressed!



chris went to notre dame and of course is a big football fan, so he brought a football along to the bbq so he could play with the other boys there. unfortunately, diana tried to throw the ball at brad and hit him in the nuts instead of the stomach. oops!



and here's diana laughing hysterically at what she just did.



chris tried to explain to brad that what he needed to do to stop the pain was to get up and jump up and down. apparently this helps. i wouldn't know, since i don't have a penis.



brad got his revenge on diana by picking her up and threatening to throw her on the grill....



when we wouldn't let that happen, he tried to throw her into the garbage can instead. erica came to the rescue and moved the can out of the way, and no one was hurt.



brad, still a little upset, threatened to throw the small plastic chair that belongs to the four-year-old downstairs at anyone who came near him. it was all very silly.



after all the food was done cooking, we added a few more coals and toasted marshmallows. making s'mores is my favorite part of a bbq!!



and here's erica, chris and brad making s'mores too. looks like we all had a fun time!



after the backyard was cleaned up, we all headed upstairs to watch the simpsons and family guy and play eat poop you cat. everyone really enjoyed the game and we spent a good amout of time laughing at all the stupid things that happened. one of the most memorable: "puppies are cute" turned into "sheep sex is bad." wtf? i'm not sure what happened there. then the tv got boring and everyone went home.

i think next time we have a bbq, there is going to have to be more liquor and beer involved. hopefully i'll be able to drink again soon. erica says i can drink again when my throat is better. i think it will be better tomorrow or tuesday at the latest. so this weekend maybe i will go out and drink!! woohoo!!

the end!

yay for fluffies!
