Manly man doing manly stuff.

Before becoming the father of a boy I never intentionally explored my masculinity. This should come as no surprise to those of you who have seen me intentionally wear women's clothing (usually on stage, in front of an audience, to maximize the humiliation). After my son was born, I grew a beard. That was just the beginning. I also bathe less,

My host father on the farm in Australia thought I was a city girl and tried to shock me, when I noted that our grill was a sheet of steel held up by bricks, with room for a fire underneath, by telling me that it was "seasoned with possum piss."

He learned not to try to shock me after awhile -- I think when I asked whether they breaded the sheep testicles with breadcrumbs or just flour before deep-frying.

Fire clean grill. Fire kill all. Fire good.

Thank you for putting it into language I can understand.

Dude: YOU HAVE A DOG.

After it cools off, put it on the ground. It'll be fine.

Even higher up the ladder of manliness, somewhere above tearing dictionaries in half with your bare hands, is letting the dog clean the baby's cloth diapers. For some reason, the wife won't let me do that.

I'm a manly woman. I say you don't clean the grill. You can give it a quick scrub while it's still warm with something coated in metal, and let the guck (technical term) fall into the flames (if there are still flames). The rest can stay and will likely just be burned to "flavor" by the fire the next time you cook.

Makes food taste better, is easier than cleaning, and safer than eating Easy Off.

Awesome. I'm definitely inclined to grill more if cleaning isn't necessary.

Just scrape off the big bits into the fire. Preheating next time will take care of the little bits. None of that counts as 'cleaning' so it is still manly.

[explodingcat]

That sounds manly. Kind of like caring for cast iron pots. Just a little scraping.

LOL

You're laughing because I tried to clean it, aren't you?
