Today is the "unofficial" beginning of summer.  And, it's usually a fun time for the whole family.

Of course, one of the key things for this day is grilling...the Barbeque!  Most of us will find a reason to get outside for the long weekend and enjoy food, friends, family and some delicious beverages.

After all, having cookouts is one of the best things about summer holiday weekends. Who doesn’t like to light some coals and throw a shrimp on the barbie? A bratwurst isn’t a bratwurst if it’s cooked in an oven. The steak you made yourself is the most delicious steak in the world. And eating outside is as good as it gets.

Now, you would think it would be easy to cook food with fire and eat it outside, right?

Well, it seems some humans are a little challenged in the art of the barbeque, and I found some hilarious videos to prove it.  Enjoy!  (Note: since some of these videos feature explosive fire, some NSFW language is involved.)

This next video shows you why most men will tell you that women should not be barbecuing. They’ll grunt and say adamantly that it’s men’s work. Most of the time this seems wrong and kind of sexist. Not this time, but most of the time.

Lastly, your barbecue can be good for more than just preparing your Memorial Day feast. Barbecues are also handy for doing tricks like this nifty one...almost.

Happy Barbeque today :) and, please be careful.
