Picnic time!

[southernreaper]

Who: Kevin, Bruce, Mimsy and all the invitees
When: Sunday August 5th Noon - ?
Where: Kevin and Bruce's pad.
Summary: Kevin invited some people for a picnic/barbecue thing, hopefully they all stop by.
Warnings: Kevin's temper, possibly Crowley/Magneto, Miss Unohana smiling. Will add others as necessary.

Kevin has spent the last couple of days cooking, baking and cleaning the house with Mimsy and Bruce's help.

He's moved everything outside and will be manning the grill, and making sure that everything is nice and ready.

Some foods on offer:

Typical grill fare (burgers, dogs, sausages, chicken)
Corn on the cob (on the grill!)
Salads (macaroni, potato, three bean, regular lettuce salad, egg, tuna, and chicken)
Fresh vegetables with dip
Fried okra
Greens
Potatoes au gratin
Eggplant lasagna
Fried fish and hushpuppies
Pies/cobblers (blackberry, strawberry/rhubarb, apple cobbler w/streusel topping, blueberry, pecan pie)
Cakes/cupcakes (devil's food, carrot, vanilla)

All buns/breads are homemade, by Kevin as are all the desserts. There are two huge tables of food with paper plates. There are three coolers of drinks (one saved for alcoholic drinks brought by the guests). Mimsy is trolling for food, Kevin's wearing an inhibitor, and all are welcome!

Anyone who fights will be asked to leave and then removed. Kevin's in a mood, and just wants to have fun.

[Bruce blinks at him.]

Why do I feel like I just dropped into a spaghetti western?

[the_dead_pool2]

I think you know very well... Banner.

[He approaches him slowly]

Pass the potato salad, if you please.

[hulkbusted]

[Bruce picks up the potato salad bowl and looks at it consideringly without offering it to Deadpool.]

First I want to know why you killed my family. [Generally his sense of humor gets him nowhere, but who knows...?]

[the_dead_pool2]

Why? That's simple. Didn't you know its a crime not to buy your car insurance from Gecko?

[hulkbusted]

[Blink]

Touche.

[He hands over the potato salad.]

[the_dead_pool2]

Awesome, appreciate that. Putting that science degree to good use in the kitchen eh?

[He is just going to put a bunch on his paper plate]

[hulkbusted]

Degrees. Obviously the biochemistry isn't as useful as the physics when it comes to good potato salad.

[Bruce is kind of curious about the mechanics of potato salad plus a mask.]

[the_dead_pool2]

Depends what you put in it, I'd say.

[He is going to lift just the portion of his mask that he needs to eat, exposing some scarred flesh]

[hulkbusted]

Potatoes, onion, vinegar, bacon, green onions, salt, pepper, and a dash of plutonium.

[Interesting, but hey, to each his own.]

[the_dead_pool2]

[He now has some in his mouth]

Mmmmm.

[A swallow and a gulp]

The plutonium really brings out the crispness.

[hulkbusted]

[And Bruce has observed enough people chewing in his life - scarred or not - that he's not really invested in watching the whole process.]

It's an old family recipe, which... might explain some things about my family.

[the_dead_pool2]

Full of nerds, and cancer patients?

[Cancer patients get to joke about other cancer patients]

[hulkbusted]

We're all our own night lights?

[the_dead_pool2]

Heh, cute.

[And he is going to finish off whats left on the plate, because hey, not bad at all]

[hulkbusted]

Beer to go with that plutonium?

[the_dead_pool2]

Duh, not like I'm going to have a appletini to go with it, that just wouldn't go. That would be like a monkey riding a lawnmower, its just weird and wrong.

[hulkbusted]

[Bruce can get him a beer, but hold off on handing to him because the appletini remark bears addressing]

Do you have something against appletinis? Is there anything more manly than apples and alcohol?

[the_dead_pool2]

I do, it doesn't go with barbeque food, dude. Apples and alcohol can be manly, its called cider, and occasionally mead.

[hulkbusted]

If I pour you a beer stein of appletini, that would be manly, dude. [Dude sounds a little odd coming from Bruce.] Because then you'd have to drink it. From a stein, and everyone knows that when you have steins and mass quantities of alcohol, it's manly, and steins always go with barbecue.

I'm tempted to get you a stein of appletini. [But he hands over the beer.]

[the_dead_pool2]

Well, then I'd invoke date rules, and you'd have to drink the same thing.

[He shrugs]

More to the point, appletini would be a disgrace to the beer stein's wholesomeness. Its called a beer stein, not made for other liquors. Yeesh, and you have a couple of doctorates?

[He shakes his head]

[hulkbusted]

You win. I'm not man enough to handle the stein o'appletini and I've disgraced the grand name of beer steins everywhere.

[The man's got a point, even if Bruce isn't really sure what the hell they're doing.]

I'll just give up my drinking privileges as penance.

[No loss for a teetotaler.]

[the_dead_pool2]

Well as long as you are sorry for it. I suppose its all good in the hood.

[With a flick of his wrist he pops the beer, and takes a sip]

So, getting ready for a semester of college kids?
