Redartz: Good day, everyone! Here's a quick and easy start to the work week. Two questions, and nothing too deep...

Young redartz helping at the grill... |
1. As Summer has arrived, cooking out is a commonly-enjoyed indulgence. Have you any good grilling stories, or at least a good recipe to share?

2. What were some of the best bargains you ever got when purchasing a comic?
For my answers, you need not wait:
1. Kind of amusing, but not too appetizing: One summer day I was helping my Dad on the grill (I was about 8 years old at the time, and 'helping' mostly amounted to watching). As he was busy fetching the hot dogs, I was busy monitoring the coals. Suddenly a grasshopper, of all things, hopped past me, and actually jumped up and right into the coals! It immediately jumped right back out, but to my amusement/horror, it instantly crumbled to ash upon landing on the ground. It didn't affect my appetite, but I never forgot watching that bug vanish...
2. I've had many good deals, but one purchase that stood out was at a flea market dollar box. I picked out about five books for five dollars, and upon getting home, realized that two of them were signed copies: a Donald Duck book signed by Don Rosa, and a DC Secret Origins issue signed by Dick Giordano! Pleasant surprises, both.
See, quick and easy. Now you take a shot...
