Ok so when the agent learns Apu's last name he doesn't like it. We assume that there are racist undertones, namely the name is too ethic sounding.

But the reason the agent gives for changing the name is "It'll never fit on a marquee, luv." I figured that was the end of the gag.

But then I always thought the name he suggested instead was very strange and there was some hidden meaning there and I finally just figured it out.

De Beaumarchais is EXACTLY the same number of characters (including the space) as Nasapimapetalon! So the "fitting the marquee" was shown to not be the issue! And since the name is French it will ALSO be hard to pronounce for Americans, but it's French so it's ok, further underscoring that the issue was racism all along.

Am I the only one who is just getting this?

On account's because you keep poisoning... THE WORLD!

This was in South West British Columbia. The whole bunch was about the size of a quarter.

So I started with just a single strand paracord sling and that got me enjoying the activity

So I wanted to try something stiffer so I made a braided paracord sling. That felt a bit better but I could feel the air resistance on the thicker cord.

So I was thinking about dyneema since I had seen a few people doing that but I think that would not be as stiff as I want.

So I just brainstormed what I could think of that is both narrow and stiff and it hit me: bike brake cables!

Am I nuts? Would this not be ideal? Just attach a leather pouch, finger ring and release grip of some kind and it should be pretty slick!

I know that probably the biggest issue will be making sure it doesn't have any sharp strands at the end to poke myself on, but could this be a winner?

Can anyone think of problems with this that I'm not considering? Should I try it?

I'm looking to get my first non-portable BBQ and I found the Broil-Mate 2 burner. It seems to tick all the boxes I actually need but is like half the cost of the next closest one.

I love the aluminum box that won't rust. I've seen more expensive grills with reviews that say they rust up right away. Reviews seem to be pretty happy with the performance.

I guess it doesn't look very flashy but I'm not vain. I'd be happier saving a couple hundred bucks than I would be by impressing the neighbors.

Is there some reason I should be paying twice as much for a grill? What are the benefits that I'd be missing out on?
