Yup. Evidentially, a Toto can flush a live chicken. QUOTE]

As you would put it, "Pics or it didn't happen"!

Seems like we have had a few myths discussed here lately........................

A DisDad's myth show?

 

[BigTex71]

DW was talking with one of the people who work on their computers (her company hires a contracted company for all their IT) and somehow the conversation turned to Disney World (maybe because of all the WDW pictures of the family on her digital photo frame on her desk.) It turns out he is taking his family this summer. They are not fully versed on all the ins and outs of touring The World, so we invited them over Saturday for some dinner and so I can help him plan his days and possible restaurant ADRs.

Upon further review, they are going almost the same days we are! They will be there July 25 - 31, and we will be there July 27 - Aug 3. Talk about It's a Small World...

Anyway, to the most important part - the food! I will be prepping a brisket with a dry rub tonight and will smoke it first thing in the morning. I figure I will make my Olde World family recipe German-Dutch Potato Salad to go with it along with some beans. Any other (meat) smokers out there? I will be using a combination of Hickory and Apple for the smoked brisket in my Bradley Smoker. About 8 hours of slow smoking, then FTC (foil-towel-cooler) until an hour prior to dinner. I unwrap from the foil and let sit an hour before slicing and eating. I hope to take pictures and journal the steps this time so others can try this great method I gathered from around the web. (Unless it doesn't turn out as good as the last time.)

I have a decent dry rub recipe, but I am willing to try other tried and true rubs. Anyone have a good dry rub for beef brisket smoking?

After dinner I will whip out My Precious to help with their park day planning and ADRs, since many of our days overlap. (Don't know about My Precious? Check out my PTR in my signature - then it will make sense.)

I need to get him to get an account here on the DISboards and join us here at DISdads.

Definitely a Pinto or the Pacer. Maybe the new Beetle as it’s pretty much a Pacer anyway. I’d also have to add The Yugo and the SmartCar. All are pretty miserable examples of engineering.

Edsel’s only real problem (in its day) was the grillwork. When Ford reintroduced the same car with better trim work in 1960 as the Galaxy, it did fairly well. We had a K-car. Much maligned, but actually it was a very good little car (or maybe we got stuck with an anti-lemon).

You know why the Yugo came standard with rear window defrosters?


So you could keep your hands warm while pushing it!!

 

[BigTex71]

I'm really considering this too. Although a lot of the agencies already seem to have a ton of agents on their rosters. I guess the amount of business you generate is largely up to you?

Yes. I got one lead from the main agency website for a quote, but you mainly work off your own leads.

FTJ has about 20 right now, until all you Dads start signing up. John we may want to warn Susanne!!!!

I am sure she wouldn't mind. She gets 40% of everything anyway, so I am sure she would love to add more.

Drove a Police Packaged (aftermarket) 5.0 Mustang Yesterday for "trials"

Holy Smokes---I needs me one of these

Did you try to recapture that Daytona feeling?

I may get kicked out of the club for making this confession, but... I don't like cheeseballs

I didn't get kicked out when I let everyone know that I wasn't taking cheeseballs on my trip. I am, however, dead to Barry. I soldier on, regardless.

That's OK. They're not exactly Le Cellier Fillet, but they're a good road trip treat.

But not as good a road trip treat as Beef Jerky! (Or turkey or deer jerky, for that matter.)

That's ok, neither does Stopher. But he contributes vast Disney knowledge to the group that makes him invaluable. You, on the other hand...

Eh, I can think of worse punishments.

Thanks for the strong show of support!

See they couldn't even be consistently bad.

Wow. That sounds awesome

Seems like you have to do something much worse than that to get kicked out. However, if you say you don't like bacon and you drive a volkswagon cabriolet too, then people might start threatening your man card.

My wife wont let me take jerky with us! Something about the smell, Im sure she is talking about the jerky.

Your wife must be my wife's long-lost, separated-at-birth twin sister. The last time I pulled out the jerky on our trip to her parents, she made me put it up. She thinks it smells like dog treats. I informed her that, no - dog treats smell like jerky.

Several pages ago...several of you were talking about being Travel advisors/agents, and the Disney's Collage of Knowledge.

So...how does one become a Travel Agent and sign-up for this DCoK?

Been pondering this for sometime now ...and been told by some...I should consider being a travel agent specializing in WDW.

When I was in high school I had a part time job at WalMart. At the end of the night, we to to clean up the store, make sure all the product was stocked, etc. One of my assigned areas was the pets department. I would spend 20 down the dog treat isle and come out hungry and looking for some beef to eat!

I had the same job in high school, but I usually got stuck in Toys.

I'm the pleasantly plump finance guy!

I'm NOT touching that!

It would have probably been worse if you spent 20 minutes with the dog treats and then came out stuffed.
