Does anyone know how to light this thing? Damn gas barbeques, what's wrong with charcoal?
Oh, and who's gonna be the chefkoch?

I think you have to press the button that says 'Do not press this button'. 
I hope that helps!
I'm off for a pre-food snorter, once I have buttered my buns of course!

Nah not me, I can't cook to save my life.
What's that hissing sound?...

Sorry that was me, hissing at the jokes. Anyhoo, may I suggest some lighter fluid, it makes a fine old whoosh as it goes off.

*comes in carrying lots and lots of food*
Here is the meat! I have put the salads, breads and stuff on the table over there!
Is it hot enough yet I don't want half of the Community to get virtual food poisoning!

I'm Back!! Well - only 50% back the rest is front
Look what I've got!! I got the Majik Food Machine from the Procrastinators Society to clone itself into this portable version. It should be able to supply whatever we need - we just have to make sure it goes back there afterwards.
What do you think?

Anyhoo, I'll have a bambi burger please. I obviously need some food to soak up the beer and allow me to type more carefully

Heya people, thought I'd bring a few snacks from my counterpart's home (see my name to fully understand that rabmle - I'm just a clone of the real Professor).
I've got various assortments of crisps, twizler-type things in various sweet flavours (as opposed to savoury flavours you get nowadays), and... erm...
*Roots around in his pockets, but can't find what he's after...*
Anyway, enough of that, I'm ready to get drunk and larger than normal.
Those GCSEs really take it out of you!

Food! 
What are we having?
Where's the plates and cuttlery? Never mind, I'll use a napkin!
*It's at times like these the Personal Duplicator that the Prof gave me comes in handy!*

Chris Tonks Posted Jun 22, 2001
Oh yeah, how's that coming along, BTW? I'm guessing it's used mostly at parties.

Bumblebee Posted Jun 22, 2001
Oh, it's great! I haven't used it so much because I thought the battery had run out or something, but now I've found this recharge button
After I pressed it the light on the side there stopped blinking so I guess it's ok. 
*Shows the Prof a small metallic device that looks like an advansed egg-timer.*

Erm... I think we can start putting the food on now.
What does everybody want?
I'll have a nice juicy 
, half raw with red juice running from it, burnt on the outside and with piles of salad.

shazzPRME Posted Jun 22, 2001
I think I'll just stick to crispy fried onions and salad for now!
Where's the mayonnaise??? I can't eat salad without mayonnaise!
