The English language and I have been at war since the beginning, it’s a love & hate thing. I’m one of those word snobs (I didn’t say I was good at it) and really try my best to make sure I use the correct their, they’re & there. See my point? I would never say the whether is turning cold early this year or I’m knot going! On the other hand, I don’t like rules. So, the outcome can sometimes turn in to a mess. A fun mess, but a mess all the same.
Well, I’ve had enough! There’s a great, huge and quite large faux pas going on right under our noses and it’s making me crazy. The poopetrators do it every day. This would be misspelling one, specific, little word. One version is a flavor and one is a bear.
Can anyone guess what this little word might be? I’ll count to ten, 1 2 3 4 6 … .Uh listen folks, the word is smoky. Smoky flavors !!! The word Smokey is either Smokey Bear or a slang term for a police officer. You don’t get smokey flavors from your smoker !!! GAHHHHHHHHHHH. (Picture Biggles swatting the air and stamping his boots).
Quidit.
Pissy Man has left the building.
ps – I smoked an 11 pound turkey last night in the new outdoor cooker I’m about to review.

Ummm-Biggs, It’s Smokey Bear, not Smokey “the” Bear. Otherwise it’d be Santa the Claus, Porky the Pig, Jimmy the Buffett , and on and on……. 🙂
Hey Glenn,
What about Winnie the Pooh?

NICE.
Damn Weber perpetuates this with their Smokey Mountain Cooker.
That turkey looks delectable! I’m looking forward to your review.
ps – my peeve is ‘done good’
Just bustin’ Biggs! Have a great weekend!
Hey Zia,
Done good. My boss uses it all the time, gah.

How was you’re turky? Looks pretty.
Hi Cookie!
It was very, very, very good. It was a tad overdone, but the breast meat was still tender and just fine! It took a little over an hour, maybe an hour 20 to cook.

I know you are a gentleman. A great, kind gentleman.
So I’ll lob this myself: Did you detect my spellings? Mis? Done good?
Also: Just over an hour? Wow, wowie.

Hey Cookie,
I did, but after the initial posting I’ve been getting quite a few emails with misuse. Not only that, everyone is calling themselves The “.” fill in the blank. Everyone is now referring to themselves as, “The Jan” or whatever. It’s awesome.
I didn’t want to to let the cat out of the bag early, but this new cooker is fricken awesome. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve run across in years. Love it dearly.

Just finished checking my content.Yeah it’s smoky!
Hey Greg,
You’re 1 in a million!

The reason you think “Smokey the bear” is that those are the words to the song – remember? http://www.vom.com/wesford/SBHA/SONG/SmokeySONG_ga.shtml
