Ph.Q -- A Degree in Q?

Does ad honorum mean I don't have to do anything? LOL! I LIKE it!

Wazzupwida new handle? What made you decide on that? I always forgot how many i's in acariiiiii anyway!

PS: Now I've made a fabulous Smoked Pecan Pie...what can I NOT do with my Smokette? I've been eyeballing Mikey, our guinea pig who resides next to my CS...heh, heh. Got a recipe for Guinea Pig Rub?

Like the new handle.

Stick with it, look what happened with mine (and my friends laughed at it at first).

Interesting Idea:

Institution
Well, let's see, about that name, hmm: CookShack U (CSU) what about those transfers who don't have a CS?

BBQU, QU

Positions
Like the list (puts me at top)

Degrees/Colleges
well we have Brisket Baccaleurate, PorkButt, Ribs, Seafood, etc

PHQ
Hmmmm, several levels of Q "experience" leading up to a doctorate in Q. I feel like a doctoral candidate stuck in Q School, look how many posts I've done...and I'm still learning.

I like it, I like it. Lots of potential, you're on track IQ, keep it up.

i2BBQ (ne Acariii),

You are a true innovator, and deep thinker!

The simple terms you have used to flesh out this QUEirculum is mind boggling. And the backbone leadership of CSU is outstanding.

The Chancellor has already established the basic courses (101 series), and many forum members are obviously working on their doctorate dissertations for PH-Qs as seen by the deep involvement of the issues involved in creating QUE on this forum.

You should be granted an honorary degree by Smokin for this work. You make me proud to be a Floridian.

Hey, i2bbq,

I love your idea! Except I don't want to be Dean of Women, I want to be the campus hellraiser.

We must keep working on this, it has real potential.

Any more ideas?

Donna

Donna, when I went to FSU (ohMYgod) there was a dean of women with an iron fist. The co-eds had to be home by 11 PM. Well......never mind.......let's not go there...

But, I would think a CS certificate for a PhQ or other accomplishments could be worked out. But, REAL accomplishments. Be tough! Like my (wife's) relatives from Mounds, OK.

And, to tell the truth, if CS could run a short course, I bet you would have students. I, for one, would really like to spend time with some of these gurus.........
I do not know where Ponca City is, however. So, you would have to guide me.
i2BBQ....

i2BBQ, I've got a better idea.

How about a come to Gainesville, let's go tailgating at a Florida game and all we need is a generator (or outlet) and we'll have our Q-U in the parking lot.

More ideas are coming in I don't know what to do....

Now what would they have said back in the old days if you told them your Chancellor (of Q) was "smokin'"....hmmmm.....

As Chancellor, I'll work on a "curriculum" and see what I can come up with.

As Chancellor, I'll work on a "curriculum"

As a student who slept through Latin for three years, I'd have guessed that a 'curriculum' was another word for a pig tail! Maybe that was a 'currley-Que-em'?

Hey, if you graduate from CSU would they present you with a pig skin instead of a sheep skin?

COG, COG, COG.

ROTFL



Curly-Q-Um it is.

Curly-Q-Um?
Currley-Que-em?

So, here we go, building our Q University:

Hey, it's a start, let me know what to add and where.

See what you start i2BBQ!

I always strike while the iron is hot...let us know.

Smokin'
Chancellor of "CS-QU"

Chancellor Okie, that looks great! You've got a lot of bases covered. Can Stogie and Texaskingfish be "visiting Q-fessors?"

But I have a question. Is this a smoke-free campus you are building? How's that gonna work, Chancellor? No smoking at the CookShack University? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm i2BBQ

No Smoking? Yeah, right!

well, we will be Handicapped Accessible for us Disabled Veterans. An I guess we'll have to accommodate the non-smokers...we'll send them to our Annex in Antartica.

Of course, we'll have adjunct professors (big word for cool Q-Fessors who stop by occassionally).

speaking of which both those guys haven't been around in a while (but I think Stogie went' back to work, out of retirement).

We're going to have to rethink the title: Q-fessor.

I understand the sentiment, it just ends up sounding like the person to whom you admit that you have burnt the meat and then ask for absolution! (have to say ten "Hail Brisket Full of Tastes" as pennance?)

Those of us with a CS (Catholic Smokin) background are confused!

Que U. might be a bit ambiguous on a t-shirt...LOL!

I think we are going to have to have some of you stay after school and write,

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Q!

on the black board 100 times.

Donna, Dean of Hellraising

PS I stole the little saying.

I smoke, you smoke, all our Q smokes...

Oh, Smokey! You are so-o-o Q-ute!

Sounds to me like a bunch of students have been cutting classes and going out for homebrew.

I'm Home Schooled in Home Brew.

....next

I too am home schooled in homebrew. And (like Calculus) it's been a while since I've done it, I am ashamed to say.

So ... would Que U have a mascot?? (he asks in a very quiet tentative voice)

Great thread. Great ideas. Donna should be eating this up!!

So, what's missing? Moose 101?

Chancellor Okie: May I suggest Game 101. Huge subject. See new posting about dove, for example. Plus, you have Andi, PhQ ad honorum, 1998,as a senior advisor.

i2BBQ

Done

What am I to do? I have all the advanced courses down, but need to work on the beginning courses!

I put an "Alaskan Brisket", a 2 inch thick sirloin steak, in the CS to try and duplicate somewhat the delicious briskets you all ALWAYS have, and I ended up with thick jerky! Bad CS! It tasted good and you could chew on a piece all day! But, it wasn't dinner material.

Just looking through the Quericquelum (is that how you spell it? Cog and his Latin derivations!) Smokin, looks like we need a course is "Rubs & Sauces." We've had a lot of good discourse on those items in this forum. Worth at least a semester. Mike Rochman said he had a whole book on "building" rubs.

Look at all the stuff to learn! I'll never graduate from CSU. CSU is more like a monastary than a university. Check in for life! (Or was that the Roach Motel.)

i2BBQ

Done

Andi ,you failed to mention what kind of critter that sirloin came off of.

Do you have beef cattle there?

If it was cow,marinate in some Italian dressing for about 4 hours,sprinkle on some Montreal steak seasoning, throw in 1 oz. mesquite,set her at 250�and preheat till she's smokin' good, toss in the cow and cook to about 110�internal.

Wipe a little melted butter on it and hard sear about 1 minute per side on the grill.

I'd bet you have already thought of that.

You can add me to that list, as well! I have 3 books, and various magazine articles...

-joe

CSU is like the Hotel Californa, you can check in but you can never leave ...

You guys are coming up with great classes. Who is going to write the sylla-Q-buses, or is that sylla-Q-bi?

Donna

I love these posts! Can I be president of the QU Fraternity? Certainly you see the frat name coming---Sigma Mu Omega Kappa Epsilon (SMOKE) better known on campus as "Smoked Animal House"! Hey it's Otis! He loves us!!!

Animal House, man I LOVE that movie...don't get me started, I'll start giving everyone new names. And if anyone else thinks they're Bluto, the fight is on

Let's see, Bluto, D-Day, Flounder, Otter, Pinto, Boon, Dean Wormer and who could forget Niedermeyer (I have nominations in mind for all).

Donna, Who do you think is gonna do them

Hey I'm just the Chancellor of Q. Means I just think of the ideas and have other do them, yeah -- right!

Actually what I want to do is work with a friend of mine and design an HTML page that could serve as a 101 template. See Donna, I'm always thinking. But I want to have this 101 as my pet project, it's been fun "producing".

But I'm probably going to be "soliticing" help from certain experts that have volunteered here.

Chancellor of QU

No, Tom, I didn't think of that! It was a beef steak...and yes, besides cattle and buffalo ranching we also have stores! LOL! Imagine that! The sirloin was marbled enough I didn't think it would dry out, but alas! I am having Spouse pick me up a big ole chuck steak today, if he can find one in that rinky-dink town. Do you suggest the same treatment? There is fresh snow 1/3 of the way down the mountain today and it's bumming me out. I want a homey dinner tonight. Maybe BBQ that chuck and make scalloped spuds to go with. Nice warm creamy things to fend off the winter!

Well, That Joe Guy, maybe the Chancellor will invite you to be the librarian at the CSU Library. Smokin has a huge list of books already, but there's always more. And journal articles, too. Needs constant attention.
But first we need to name the CSU Library after some famous person. i2BBQ

On a semi-serious note . . . (who meeeee? OMG!) The time is right for the Justin Wilson Memorial Library . . . aahhheeeeee! You know that right, Bubba!

I GUAAAAAAR-UN-TEEEEEEE.

As another suggestion for a 101 course: How 'bout a Butchers' 101? Pictures and diagrams of various cuts of meats? I have found a huge regional variation in what any particular cut is called and what is locally available. It would be helpful for everybody to be on the same page, particularly when trying to duplicate recipes. Further, pictures and diagrams could be very helpful when trying to explain yourself to the high school 'butcher' at Publix or Sam's.

Just a thought.

Cog (and AAHH), what a good idea about Wilson. Talk about timely. The Chancellor is laying the corner stone for his new library...

And the butcher lingo is right on. I can't believe it has taken me 6 months to realize that I have yet to see a whole brisket. They sell "flats" here. (I think I have found a solution, but, still, it's embarrassing...especially if there are Texans around. "'hat ain't no brisket, you dumb cracker. 'hat ter's a flaiat...")


i2BBQ

12BBQ, you HAVEN'T seen a whole brisket? Hmm, must not have reviewed my Brisket 101. Might have to send you to remedial.

Added the library.

Keep them coming.

Chancellor of Q

Lamar (Alias: Hannibal)

Does this mean that you are volunteering to be a 'Lecter'er for the course? I'd give it a shot, but don't have the brains for the job!

LOL, loved the site, but not really what I had in mind! Pass the fava beans and the chianti, please!

And for those of you with weak stomachs and no sense of humor, definitely stay away from the above mentioned site!

Lamar, lamar, lamar.

I'm REALLY worried about you...


...and REALLY glad you don't know my real name...

Okay, no more 101's like that, besides they didn't mention anything about Q.
