Time to admit it...who did something stupid yesterday?

[grillin_all_day]

Alright guys, time to come clean, who did something stupid yesterday??

For me, it was right after the Super Bowl. I was watching the wife clean up the kitchen (I know, I'm such a nice guy) that I realized I left the GOSM out on the back patio. Since it was freezing and I didn't know if it was going to snow, I threw on my shoes and went out to take care of it. Now I'm not sure if you guys have heard of these delicious drinks that I was drinking yesterday called beer, but I had a lot of them and they hit you really hard if you're not careful. Anyway, I open up the shed door and see that the mower is in my way. Ah, no worries, I'm a strapping young lad, I can lift it up over the handle, no problem. Well, I get all 3 legs in and the last one hits the door frame and won't come in. Hell, I got this. I lean back a bit and it's coming in...woohooo!!! As I lean back a little more to get it in.........yup, you guessed it, OH CRAP (but I used the other word). Yup, I tripped backwards over the mower, and had I not hit the handle, which caused me to hit the wall, I would have wound up w/ a smoker on top of me. As I prop myself up now w/ the smoker inside, I gently set it down, close the smoker door that flew open, step out of the shed, lock it up, I stop, look at myself in the window and say, "You sir, are a huge dumbass!" I'm fine, just a couple of hurtful bruises and a comedic story to tell!

 

[bbqhead]

that's funny. you can't make that up

 

[grillin_all_day]

Nope, and I have the bruises to prove it....qview anyone?

Well maybe not, 2 of them are in a bad spot. I hit so hard that I put a crack in my.....well that's not important, but it is where 2 of the bruises are

 

[placebo]

Lol that's funny, glad you weren't seriously hurt though. I waited until today to do something stupid, I came to work.....

 

[triplebq]

I ended up 25 miles past teh pickup point as my daughter had spent the weekend at her Grandparents house in Wapanucka Oklahoma .. I felt stupid for what I did UNTIL you shared yours Thanks Buddy

We'll start off with yesterday I had 2 HUGE AWWW CRAP moments...

First on was pulling the 8 racks of foiled ribs out of the oven.. they had been in WAY to long so I was in a hurry to get them out and get them back on the smoker if needed. As Im transferring rack number 6 the foil brushes up against my forearm at which point I drop the entire rack on the floor. Foil was intact do the meat got spared but there wasnt anything left on the ribs themself when I unwrapped it...

Fast forward to dinner time yesterday Ribs are out of the smoker and the ABT's are getting ready to go in.. Got one tray all loaded up was sliding the hot rack in with a set of tongs rather than throw my gloves on and as I went to reposition the tongs the rack falls out of the smoker directly into the ash can that i have sitting underneath the smoker.


The day I put my smoker together I had a similar experience though no alcohol involved.. I had put it togther in the den which has a sliding glass door to the deck... We get a fari amount of rain in the NW and if you arent very dilligent you tend to get a think coating of moss/algae on any flat surface.. Well true to Murphy's Law I step out of the den onto the deck and am promptly laying flat on my back across the threshold with the smoker on top of me.

I was making up a batch of BBQ sauce. Actually making it a half batch because I didn't have enough ketchup to make a full one. But I forgot what I was doing and added the regular amount of molasses. I also added a couple shots of that Jim Beam Cherry stuff to the bbq sauce (and couple snorts for me while making it). Turned out pretty dang good.

 

[grillin_all_day]

RIP delicious food.....oh how we didn't get a chance to know thee

At least you're not hurt of burnt.

Sorry that you had to work today Placebo...I by luck got the day off. Had 4 days of vacation last week, went into work on Saturday, then had Sunday and Monday off!

I never feel stupid, especially about the stuff I do BQ! I know someone will get a kick out of it, and in that sense makes me feel a whole lot better about being a dumbass! Besides, it's genetic, so not much I can do, lol!

 

[bbqhead]

it wasn't funny you got hurt, but it reminds me of myself when alcohol is involved. I'm just to ashamed to admit it.

 

[mballi3011]

I also have done stupid stuff while partaking in the consumtion of adult libations but luckly for me I drank enough that I don't remember and thats a good thing. Now some of the stories about what I did are pretty funny thou.

 

[travcoman45]

Yeah, wen't ta bed, got up taday an wen't ta work!

 

[slim]

Good story...lol

Trust me - at 63 I have a book of those marvelous events. Took the wife out on Sat nite in San Antonio to celebrate 25 year anniversary with her. Could not remember signing the $200 bar tab and do not remember the walk back to the hotel, she does though!! I have apparantly lost some of my manuverability over the years

 

[grillin_all_day]

So when are we gonna go out to the bar??!!! LMAO, I had a co-worker that did that one night and when she saw it post to her credit card, she said that it was an unauthorized charge and that it was not her signature on the bill. She was so hammered that it really didn't look like her signature and since she had no memory of signing it, they overturned the $450 tab. Although I wasn't out w/ them that night, it was jerk move by the other co-workers at the bar for running up that high of a tab on her.

 

[scarbelly]

I know that one too - bunch of guys did that to a vendor to the tune of $2K --- you will appreciate this part that got left out - we live in CA so she had to find her way back to the hotel too - I do have some new friends though that promised to come visit us in CA

Thanks for the laugh. Well take it easy on your butt, and if you really cracked your tail bone, believe me I know from experience you will live to regret it.
They take forever to heal and years later will give you grief at the most unexpected moments.


As for your question;
Well it was a stupid something, although for a change It was not me. After the Superbowl party on Sunday, I was the designated driver so had not imbibed all day. After the meal and festivities were over my beloved asked me to drive some of the party drunks home. No problem as I have a 7 passenger van. They all got into the back and off we went. I dropped off the first two with no problem but the next four people wanted to go to the Copper Mug for drinky poo's instead of going home, like they needed more booze! So the 5th Lady, ( Karen, My cousin, a notorious drunk, by the way ) and believe me in this particular case I use the word Lady very loosely, decided to join them at the very last minute. They were several feet away and heading for the Copper Mug when She hurriedly attempted to get out of the front passenger seat to catch up to them but forgot her seat belt. The belt of course held her down. This caused a string of fowl nasty invectives to cascade from her mouth as she cursed first my car, and then me who by now was laughing loudly at her plight. She cursed that dammed belt and anything else she could think of. Finally I reached over and unsnapped the belt. She lurched to her feet cursing all the time lost her balance, grabbed for the door frame, missed ran backwards 3 feet then promptly fell unceremoniously on her tushie. I made the mistake of laughing out loud at the ridiculous sight of her sitting on the ground with her skirt hiked up around her waist and a stunned look on her face the contents of her purse were spread in a huge mess behind her. The other four, alerted now by the constant swearing and cursing returned, picked her up and all five of them headed off for the bar. Her still cursing and loudly berating me for not being a gentlman and leaping to her rescue. Sorry Cuz.... I was too busy laughing my butt off.

Observing all of the above was a cop car and before I could drive off they blipped on their lights and motioned for me to shut-er down. I was still laughing my butt off at Cousin Karen when the cops approached my car. I rolled down the window and it was obvious that the two cops were laughing too. After assuring him via a breathalizer test that I was indeed sober, He thanked me and sent me on my way.

When I returned to take the next batch of less than sober folks home, I told my wife and the remaining guests at the party all about it. We all got a good laugh. My Sister in law asked if I planned to go back when the Bar closed and give them all a ride home. Not a bloody chance I said, not a bloody chance.

Ps. As it turned out it seems that the Copper Mug decided not to admit Karen because for some reason she began cursing the doorman out about the cover charge so they had to hike across the street to the Eagles club instead. Don't ya love superbowl parties?

 

[grillin_all_day]

Bee that was absolutely hilarious!!!!! I wish you would have had that on video for all of us to see.

On a good note, no broken tailbone, just a crack in my arse!

 

[richoso1]

I'll drink to that...

 

[silverwolf636]

I went out to the approximate site of my wood pile with my pick and shovel and dug out my smokin wood. WoooHooo! Go to get into my jeep to go get some smokin pork and realize that out there, some where, in that deep ars snow, are my jeep, probe, house, tool box, storage shed keys. I still haven't found them...

Jeez-not involving alchohol, but I ruined some beef ribs with too much Tony Cachere's Creole + bbq sauce. It was too salty

Seem hardly worth mentioning compared to all the others
