Grill Confidence
Elevated due to a clean spatula and unsolicited smoke commentary.
Lab Protocol
All studies begin with a hypothesis and end with someone saying, "Actually, hold up."
1
Observe the phenomenon without making it normal.
2
Measure twice, exaggerate once, document everything.
3
Publish only after the group has agreed the bit still works.
4
Always tug the strap twice and declare, "That's not going anywhere." The second tug is for science.
5
All fire-starting advice must be given by at least four people simultaneously.
6
If the hood is open, stand beside it with arms crossed.
7
Never sit in the good chair without acknowledging it.
8
If borrowing a tool, describe the project in unnecessary detail.
9
All measurements under three inches may be estimated with fingers.
10
The first burger is sacrificial and belongs to science.
11
Never interrupt a man explaining his cooler.
12
If a flashlight appears, everyone must look where it points.
13
Any object may become "shop use only" after enough damage.
