Canadians Have True Class

I rest my case. Texans are our crazy relatives.

Nothing wrong with a little crazy. Some of the greatest minds in history were "a little off" in one way or another.

How's that turkey coming?

There are crazy people and then there are Texans.

Yep. Everything's bigger and better here.

To paraphrase Nigel Tufnel, we go to 11.

I agree.

Turkey was excellent. Finished smoking to 157 in four hours flat though (14.5lbs, 225F, no stuffing, only 17min/lb) which was earlier than anticipated. Not as smoky flavored as I hoped but very moist and delish. Will use more apple chips next time. Only filled chip drawer twice.

Or lower the temp and smoke it slower. The longer it's in the smoke the more flavor you get.

Ahh - you take a sock off!

In all my years (50) of trucking, touring and going to car races in the U.S., I have only met one person that was ignorant to me and I wrote that off as he was having a bad day.
I'd rather have you 'mericans as friends than enemies.

OK, how about these factoids?
- The Christmas tree on Boston Common is donated each year by the people of Halifax, Nova Scotia to the residents of Boston in appreciation of their response to the Halifax Explosion of 1917. 2018 will mark the 100th year of this tradition.

I did not know that factoid. That is pretty cool.

For those who have not heard of the Halifax explosion, during WW I, a ship bound for FranceIwith explosives on board caught fire and exploded in the harbor:

While the exact number killed by the disaster is unknown, a common estimate is 2,000. The Halifax Explosion Remembrance Book, an official database compiled in 2002 by the Nova Scotia Archives and Records Management identified 1,950 victims.[66] As many as 1,600 people died immediately in the blast, the tsunami, and collapse of buildings. The last body, a caretaker killed at the Exhibition Grounds, was not recovered until the summer of 1919.[67] An additional 9,000 were injured, 6,000 of them seriously; 1,630 homes were destroyed in the explosion and fires, with 12,000 more houses damaged. This disaster left roughly 6,000 people homeless and without shelter and 25,000 without adequate housing. The city's industrial sector was in large part gone, with many workers among the casualties and the dockyard heavily damaged.

I have seen documentaries and read the history of the explosion which was horrific. I seem to remember that a part of the ship was blown 5? miles onto land and that part of the ship still rests were in fell?

The Halifax explosion is kinda like the Texas City incident after WWII.
