Introduce yourself! What does your username say about you?

Nukem is my dawgs name, he is a 6 year old German Shorthair Pointer. I thought Nukem, and BBQ, heck that is "hot"! LOL

Rump Roast,
With a little practice and a good recipe, you could be making rump roast that's better than most guy's filet mignon.
I like your name. Besides the movie referrence, one of the marks of a skillful BBQer is the ability to take cheap tough cuts of meat and make them as tender, flavorful, and juicy as what less skilled cooks produce with premium meat cuts like filet.

Well said Vinsect! That sort of sums out the whole bbq world/mission in one statement. Wow.

Er, um, I meant to reply to this post some time ago but I uh didn't get around to it! )

Ok my turn... First this bugger is 6 pages deep and it''s only a week old at this point....
I've had the handle of Snapshot (due to the fact I've also been a professional photog for 30 years) since the 80's when I had my BBS "The Intercept Vector" as a FidoNet Hub in Northern Illinois. Fidonet for the uninitiated, was the precurser to the Internet. Yes I'm so old that I've been doing this since before the Internet. Fido was THE message network in the 70's and 80's. Once the Internet took ahold in the early 90's Fidonet waned consideribly.
The 0729 was added when I couldn't log boards as just Snapshot. That would be my birthdate July 29th... For those that are counting that would also be 1956. That means I'm bound for the 49 mark in 2005...

I started out with magicbear (which I still use in some places) but as I hooked up with more and more sites that wanted a user id, I started running into places where this was already taken. So, I switched to a boring user id that's based on my and my wife's name. Haven't run into that problem since. Geez, who would have thought there'd be another magicbear out there?

Belated welcome to the board BBQ-Racer!

Hi Vinsect,
Gotta love KC. Actually, it is Tony Levin that plays the Stick for KC and Peter Gabriel. Another you might know is John Myung from Dream Theater, who occasionally uses the instrument. Shoot me a private message if you would like to know more about the beastie.

Best regards,
Stickman

PS: Sorry it took a while to respond - I was on an unwired vacation. I got the info deprivation shakes about halfway through day 2, but it turned out to be a good trip.

John Petrucci from Dream Theatre was my guitar teacher before he started the band. I have the original tape cassette they gave out before the signed a record deal. Nice reference!

Also a belated welcome to BBQ-Racer. Ok, racer, spill the beans. Wait, not really. Which team you workin for? February is almost here. Can't wait to hear," Gentleman, start your engines."

HotSauceGuru.....kinda speaks for itself. Like many people here I am a huge chile head. I love things to be hot and spicy and to impart a certain rembrance and respect in your mind each time you go to eat it.

Hey HotSauceGuru, Next weekend we are having our annual salsa cookoff. This is the place to be if you like your chiles.

Need I say more?

I work for Hendrick Motorsports in the engine department.
I can't wait for those words "GENTLEMEN START YOUR ENGINES ALSO".
Yes Daytona is real close and me and some friends are getting together for the race.
