a slight diatribe

For the past few mornings as I await the subway I've been noticing this ad for a new bank. If you open a new account you get free checking and a 22 piece barbecue tool kit. Now, here's the thing...how can there possibly be 22 different barbecue tools? I mean, one of the allures of barbecue is it's very simplicity...isn't it? Cooking meat over fire. Period. You could do it with a sharpened stick if you wanted. Tongs, spatula, a fork maybe. I don't even want to know what other barbecue tools could possibly exist. Can't we just keep it simple? Thank you.

Wow. You've never been to Texas, have you? It will redefine the way you look at barbecue. Definitely not just meat over a fire...

Well, I suppose if you want to approach barbecue like a sort of religion, then you can't have enough acoutrements. But I bet they don't get them as free give away's from a bank.
