Southern Treason

wait a minute? you obviously mean Dunkin Donuts is Southern Treason but dang, donuts are donuts any day... just some are outstanding (KK) and some are just okay in a pinch (DD) LOL
I actually prefer unsweetened iced tea to sweet. Not talking artificial sweeteners or any of that crap. Just plain, bitter iced tea. I grew up on sweet tea, but I've learned to like unsweetened a lot better. I just find it extremely refreshing.
Dude...that just crushes my soul.
If you drink it enough, it will convert you. IMO, that's a fact. GMAFB.
I would actually dig that, if it tasted good, of course. Just because Crystal Pepsi is the greatest beverage created by man (living creatures for all the microaggression-sensitive folks out there) doesn't mean I don't like Coke.How would you feel if...
My wife does the same thing but the problem with that is it's almost impossible to get FRESH unsweetened tea. Sweeten tea is so popular here in the south that the unsweeten sits around and gets stale.
FWIW, I've tried unsweetened tea and just can't do it. It's gotta be done up right...syrup + about 1/2 bag of pure sugar.
Being stuck basically in Northern Virginia where you truly do walk into a restaurant and ask for "sweet tea" and they point to a jar that contains a mixture of Splenda and Sweet & Low -- you really do learn to appreciate the true south.
However, being that I will not touch chewy bacon to save my life, I will give you a pass.

That is very true, and it's a problem for me as well. I usually just stick to what I make at home and just drink water when eating out somewhere. However, the unsweetened tea from McDonald's is delicious. I know, I know, it most likely has a bunch of other crap that I can't pronounce mixed in it as well, but it tastes really good.
If it's during the day, I just drink water. If it's later in the day I just drink a beer.
Exactly, or you're liable to get this (which I actually did one time when I ordered Iced Tea while in the NorthEast)... It was do-it-yourself iced tea
Not knowing the difference.
Do what? Have you lost your mind? Has Hark hacked your account.
barbecue is a noun, not a verb. Anyone who states otherwise is a yank.
Warner Stamey is rolling over in his grave right now.....
Wth are you two talking about? In the south we most certainly do use BBQ as a verb and a noun. It's how those verbs and nouns (which I guess becomes an adverb) are used to describe what you are doing that could be wrong. No one bbqs a hamburger. But I have BBQ'd plenty of times with meats such as the briskets and sausages in that pic. Anyone who tells you BBQ can't be used as a verb ain't doing no bbq'ing. 'Smoking' is acceptable but sometimes is taken in the wrong context so most serious bbq'ers don't say it much to each other. There are too many states in the south that say BBQ to describe their process for me to ignore this reality. You two just suck at bbq'ing.
@Hark_The_Sound_2010 you do know the minute you liked my poast I lost this argument to the south right? Jesus! I can't have a Yankee backing me on this one man! It looks bad. 
He can't. He lost his bbq'ing card when he spent all that time in VA. That's one state that has zero BBQ identity.
Dude. Your poast is so full of fail that it is going to be tough to pick a starting point. Hell, even Chick knows that barbecue is a noun and only a noun.
Where exactly do you live in the south? Cary? Charlotte? Atlanta? Because those are about the only places I know which have men who say that they are going to "barbecue some chicken", for example. The rest of us say that we are "grilling some chicken". And you know this.
My time in VA should be more viewed as an officer behind enemy lines, at least as far as Q is concerned. I avoided that slop like the plague- every time we came to NC we would pick up several quarts to bring home and freeze. It wasn't the same, but it served in a pinch.
Look 92, you screwed up. We all do it. No hard feelings, but time to abandon this pathetic fight and get back to grilling (or smoking) meat and eating barbecue.

I was more liking the poast because of the determination behind it. But now that you mention it, I do agree. The dictionary and Wikipedia agree as well. If you think about it logically it makes sense too... If I'm in the process of taking a walk, I'm walking... If I'm in the process of taking a shit, I'm shitting... If I'm in the process of making barbecue, I'm barbecuing (note, my spellcheck didn't go off there, indicating it is a word in verb form).
I stopped taking THNs advice on what to call things when he stated he calls a Pepsi, a Coke... I mean, how asinine is that?
When was the last time you barbecued and cooked barbecue? I'm going with never.
And you aren't golfing, you are playing golf. You aren't cookieing, you are baking cookies. Same applies here.
Barbecue is a noun.
Haha! Your effort to avoid VA BBQ should be commended. Well done, sir! But if you are getting technical, then as Hark said, there is barbecuing. But the definition of barbecuing leaves a lot to be desired in supporting my argument on this one. However, the unofficial term bbq'ing is something we've (family and friends) said for as long as I can remember, and that includes more places than just NC. Although I did like the 'ribbing' you gave Cary, they sucked at bbq'ing when I was in the area, your shot at Atlanta was uncalled for! They have some damn fine BBQ in and around that city if you know where to go.
I do use the term grilling, but that is to differentiate between direct (grilling) fire and indirect (bbq'ing) fire when cooking. Grilling can never be used to describe smoking or bbq'ing. It just can't. I do not concede!
Brinkmann Deluxe Professional charcoal grill with one of the porcelain grates removed? Simple, yet a great grill that can also be used as a small smoker. I have one and love the fact it's big enough to cook the families meals on half the surface so I don't have to break out all the grates and clean them later. But mostly, if you are smoking (bbq'ing) you can move the fire to one side and place water in a pan on the other side and there is plenty of room to do a single pork butt, small brisket (7-8 lbs) or a couple racks of ribs.
Pretty soon one of you heathens is going to claim that a grill is also called a barbecue.
Friend, just accept the fact that you're mistaken and move on....
