POLL: How do you eat your corn-on-the-cob?

[Buckethead]

So that's why you left early, out of shame. 

Actually, THIS is why I left early.

A bunch of college friends having an annual get together on Little Sebago Lake.



Also, they had pork. Draped in bacon. Wrapped in aluminum foil and cooked in a bonfire.



Emily had a great time, too. She said that when people would start taking motos she'd just kinda wander off and find someone else to talk to, but since everyone was friendly and interesting it wasn't an issue.

If I can get her riding on her own, I don't think that'll be an issue next time.

But it's soo tasty.  And a little corn can't be worse than, say, french fries.  Or skittles.  Or skittle fries.

yeh, thats why your body gives it back in the same condition that it got it.......

I could never quite figure that one out.

It goes in whole.

You chew it into tiny little bits.

It comes back whole.



If anything, people shouldn't eat corn because it's black magic.

dammit. BBQ is not a verb! 

it's a noun. you make BBQ. you can make it on a grill, in a smoker, even in an oven or on the stove if you are strapped. when will people learn that.

But I love BBQing foods!  BBQ'ed food tastes great!    The only bad thing about BBQing is getting smoke in your eyes.

Actually I lease with an option to buy.       (  <----what movie reference? anyone?? anyone??    )

As long as you're not eating it the l o n g way.... 

[Desmo Demon]

I'm a left-to-right typewriter corn eater....sometimes, to be *funny*, I even make the little "ding" noises when moving to the next row.

The true question is.......How do you butter your corn on the cob?

I use a typical knife with backup options of a fork or spoon (used my finger once). The most ingenious way I've ever seen, but have only done once, was in the movie "Wargames". Mathew Brodrick's father buttered a piece of bread, then wrapped it around the corn on the cob and spun the cob.

Edit - Did I just date myself my referencing that movie?

well that's wrong and you can't convince me otherwise 

[Buckethead]

Can't argue with lack of logic.
