Part of the UK LSP contingent have descended upon Dallas and it only seemed right to join in for Labor Day festivities; part of this meant grilling chicken thighs. It's not hard, fire up the Weber, brush the thighs with olive oil, apply salt and pepper, then grill on indirect heat, covered, for 40 minutes. Enjoy a glass of something cold, this is Texas, while you wait.
After 30 minutes or so uncover the succulent thighs and behold their indirect heat awesomeness, then brush with BBQ sauce if you like or not if you don't, no rule. Here's the thing. Some people don't like BBQ sauce on their thighs, they're chicken thigh purists and that's OK.
I do, and like way it caramelizes, adding to the flavor of the crispy skin. Whatever, Operation Brush The Thighs complete, flip 'em onto direct heat for around 5 minutes for a sizzling char. Flip, repeat, remove from the grill to rest and eat.
Well done, you've grilled up a delicious, affordable, juicy chicken feast for the Labor Day team. And what can we say? What we always say. Fall upon your scoff.
Like a Warrior,
LSP
PS. Have you heard about the British comedian who was arrested at Heathrow for three anti trans posts on social media? More on that anon.

The story about the Brit comedian almost sounds like one of those "guy walks into a bar" jokes, and no, I hadn't heard it. But I did hear this one.
An astronomer, a molecular biologist and a garbage truck driver walk into a bar and as those encounters often go, start a free ranging discussion about science and technology. The astronomer said he thought the James Webb telescope is the highest advancement in science and technology in the last one hundred years because it allows discovery of galaxies a gazillion light-years out in space. The molecular biologist said he thought invention of the scanning electron microscope was a higher achievement because it allowed discovery of teeny-tiny microbes not visible thru regular microscopes.
The garbage truck driver said those were both good and useful inventions, but his vote for the highest advancement in science and technology in the last one hundred years was the Thermos.
What? said the astronomer. All a Thermos does is keep hot things hot. Yeah, says the molecular biologist, and it keeps cold things cold, too.
Correct, said the garbage truck driver. But how do it know?
Is there some way to annoy the Brit officials from here?
Sounds good! And yes BBQ on chicken...LOL
Graham Linehan, the co-creator of the British sitcom The IT Crowd, was arrested at Heathrow Airport in London on September 1, 2025. The arrest was on suspicion of inciting violence in connection with anti-transgender posts he made on X (formerly Twitter) in April 2025.
I applaud this ZEN, Wild.
My dear Anon, I feel they're most irritated by thoughtcrime posted on information super highway. Have at it, but do make sure you report yourself. IMMEDIATELY. Just a friendly word of advice.
I'm with you, NFO. I like the BBQ on chicken, I find it adds.
Herr Doktor, are you somehow suggesting he shouldn't have been?
