I thought I could just let it go. I was wrong.



It has been eating at me for two days. I bought some Earl Campbell brand hot links at the store the other day. Yes, I expected them to be good... no... I expected them to be great. After all, Earl's from Texas. Texans should know about barbecue. He played football in Texas...


I mean he played all of the football a guy can play in Texas, peewee football, midget football, junior high and high school football, college football, well not real college football he played at the University of Texas for the Longhorns. While they don't know much about football the Longhorns do know barbecue. My God man Texans have their own BBQ movie on DVD "Barbecue: A Texas Love Story" narrated by Governor Ann Richards.


I didn't really want to play the gender card Earl but your a man. A man in Texas should know what a hot link looks and tastes like... he should know it is made from beef or pork... not chicken, beef and pork products...NO CHICKEN.

"Here you go sir your hot link dinner.... eat up it tastes just like chicken."

That's what you want to hear at a rib and link joint.

I know.... I should have read the package...bad Randy....



Earl your links look and taste like a dang kielbasa. These are something some bleached skinned, New England yankee would try to pass off as a hot link. In fact I would expect to be served a hot link that looks and tastes like yours by this group on the right. After they cooked it on a hibachi in the garage so they could "Get out of the sun".

You should be ashamed. You are a man, a man of the Southwest. A Texan. ...you should know better. I expected more from you, I really did...

Earl, go get in the car right now.... Get in your car and drive to Lawton, Oklahoma. I'll take you to a place where they serve real barbecue, real hot links.



The hot links are red, the skin is thick and holds it all together. When you bite it (on a sandwich) or cut into it with a knife, hot, red, spicy grease runs out.

You sop the grease up with the fresh Wonder bread they put on the plate or around the link and eat every morsel.

You can actually feel your arteries constrict. It gets hard to turn your head to the left and right. You begin to get light headed. Then they bring you pie.

This is real food... it'll hurt ya....
