    If dinner plays out like everything else Hubris does I’d take the pizza.

    BINGO!
    Kids born after 1995 are way to spoiled!
    When I was a kid … we had TV channels 2-50 if you were lucky, and you had to change those with a dial.
    20 was ALWAYS Detroit’s WKBD, and from 1987-1994 was THE ONLY channel to watch Star Trek. In 1994, that was moved to CityTV (Toronto) with the awesome tag “Your Federation Station.” and stayed there until Voyager was finished. I miss the good shows. (Never liked Enterprise.)

    Hey! Hubris is a great success story!

    As a reformed Boy Scout I will declare that with a little preparation, campfire cooking can be quite good.

    My wife and I will cook most of our meals at the campsite, but we will admit to the occasional takeout item.

    You can’t get takeout or delivery in the town I live in and rarely get phone reception in the mountains.
    Regarding campfire cooking, I have made feasts for 50 while camping, done almost entirely on campfires.

    Paste (or whatever your real name is) you ordered it, you pay for it.

    So this camping place is within cell phone range. Very remote!

    I’m amazed!
    1) He could call out.
    2) Some one would deliver.

    pcolli is right. Paste ordered, so Paste has to pay. Including the tip.

    and what is wrong with throwing food on the fire? First time I went tent camping… breakfast was easy. Little coleman stove. But dinner? I was told to use the grate and the fire pit. None of us got sick or died. Everything was thoroughly cooked, no raw pieces. And no overly burnt pieces. Foil is a wonderful invention.

    It’s not the cooking over a fire that’s a big deal. It’s the cleaning of the soot off the pans afterwards that sucks.

    I can beat that. Channels 2-12 were VHF and came in the best without a bigger directional anttenna. 13-50 were UHF and could be spotty. And unless you lived close to a MAJOR metro area, you may only get two or three of the four networks, NBC, CBS, ABC and PBS (this run by state universities in many locals). If you lived in say Boston or LA then you got the indies that were where the weird and fun stuff was.
    Having live in those locations as was as WAY out in the sticks.
    Of course that’s part of why that period is when the socity had the most in common.
