Pictures from the American Royal in Kansas City, MO on October 4th, 2006


 

Micro Managing

Ol' Dave tries in vein to give Zinkan (unseen) directions.

Homeless Dude

A random homeless guy seeks refuge at the Ribs And Bibs site.

Can't Read It

Zinkan tries to read on his own, but without direction from Dave, he's unable to figure out which way to hold the paper.

Ribs & Bibs

I'm sure we're all doing something wrong, but I don't remember what it was from this picture.

Put that over here!

Zinkan unloads under STRICT supervision from Ol' Dave.

Ice Station Zero

Kitchen on the left, bedroom on the right. How we've fallen from Dale's 45' motorhome.

Budda

Apparently, there is some tradition to rubbing Dave's belly.

It's like looking into a mirror

The ghosts of Christmas past and Christmas future meet.

Wind Energy

Al Gore's energy initiatives at work in Kansas City. Oh, and there's a picture of the Stock Exchange.

Chris Cappel

The secret to DizzyPig's success? Spring Water.

Just like beer...

There's always room for Ray as he supervises the application one of Chris' 42 rubs.

Relax

One of the rare photos of Randy relaxing before a contest. You can see in the back of the truck, the 18 bags of charcoal his Backwoods Smoker/Refrigerator will consume this weekend.

No idea

These were a couple of drunk chicks we met at one of the many parties at the Royal. How drunk was I?

Wakey, Wakey

Sherry tries to wake Grandpa Todd after his 8:30 bedtime.

Reserve Grand Champion

Darren and Sherry receive their big check for the Invitational. Sherry later injured her arm trying to fold it into her purse.

19th Pork

Ol' Dave and robot Zinkan (note the blank stare) receive their award. If I didn't know better I'd say we were at a bar.

With Report

Fireworks signalling the end of the event and any hope to get vendor food.
