I enjoy them, but I was just wondering since:

My thoughts are simple.
I like guns. I like good food. Combining the two and sharing it with everyone just seems natural. As men, we like to share our tools and handiwork with others. There's a great sense of pride in creating the perfect steak, and it's fun to show it off once in a while. While you're at it, throwing some guns in there is just plain fun. Afterall, this *is* a gun board. I for one prefer the old school dinner pics - food and gun. The other rules are cute and amusing, but I'd like to see more creativity in the actual photography and food presentation. My mouth should be watering, and my pee-pee should tingle. Dinner pics have become a work of art. Some of them are fantastic expressions of a man's love for a good meal and quality firearms. |

I'm thinking of posting an after dinner pic, you know, like the morning after.

I like when it's a bowl of "chili" with no beans in it and it denigrates into a North vs. South thing.
|
|
They're they only threads MORE useless than Beetlebaily threads.
|
|
suck
too cutesy seems like "i had nothing better to do, so i thought i'd post my dinner. woo hoo" ghey |
|
|
|
|
I don't think I've ever made one. Would a "lunch" picture count?
Too bad we don't have a stickied topic listing the rules. I know it needs this much: Food, a gun (loaded), a drink, a stapler, a measuring device, and a knife. I just asked the wife, and she says a flashlight. |
|
Chili with beans is abomination. Doh! You lured me in! |
|
|
2003 & only ~200 posts!? Now I feel really offended that you chose to use one of them on me |
|
|
Well if it had beans in it it would be "Chili Beans" or "Chili with Beans" it would not be "Chili". |
|
|
Since I started them back in 1999 on the old board...I SAY KEEEP EM COMING!!!
|
|
'Scuse me? What do you have against Beetle anyway, he seems like a nice guy so if you can't be nice towards a fellow member then you need to keep your comments to yourself. Personally I like the dinner pic threads. They can get pretty interesting. |
|
|
Now that's a big claim - I want to see evidence p.s. Thanks Deej & Subnet. Good to know people have your back, even if it is just the intraweb |
|
|
Are they informative? NO
Do they provide everyday enjoyment to those that participate? HELL YEAH I love em'. Keep em' coming. |
|
The dinner pics are amusing - and it is the GD after all, a little silliness and creativity can give everybody a good laugh. I esp. enjoy the ratings, the deductions and praise that people give are pretty dang funny too.
|
|
Heretics! All of them! You don't fuck with dinner pics. |

|
What are your thoughts on the current dinner pic rules, as they've evolved over the years? |
|
|
No offense bud, but you do know you don't HAVE to click on the dinner pix right? If you don't like them then ignore them. |
|
|
you mean this? www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=429031 |

I like it becuase it is unique to Arfcom and is part of what Arfcom is. I enjoy them. HOPEFULLY these won't get banned like certain words have been.
|
|
Link please. |

I like dinner pics. You can show off your mad cooking skills and your toys that go bang at the same time.
|
|
Easy, Shaniqua! I'm just breaking Beet's balls a little! |

|
I normally would not criticize the photos. it's not a big deal. certainly i'm not complaining. but in this case the guy literally asked for opinions. there's mine |
||
|
Yeah. But your opinion doesn't match his. So you're BAD, MKAY? |
|
|
you guys kill me
I think I'm going to cook some deer tonight and post a pic by my new grill |
|
I thin kthat wsome of them are pretty cool, but others are a real waste of bandwidth from time to time.
|
|
They are an interesting diversion.... it's just for fun....and usually a lot nicer to read than the 9 v 45 or wolf v everything or glock v 1911 threads.
keep em coming. I need to get control of the camera more often or buy another one...wife always takes it with her to work. No Expert |
|
So the truth comes out . Your testing the waters for the new grill dinner pic. Rock on with your grilling self. |
|

Well I caqn tell what prompted it. The old boards archives are gone. I had a dinner date that did not show up. I had cooked some past and pesto sauce. Nice bottle of wine. Did not want it to go to waste so I figure I take a pic and post it to share with everyone. EdSr, then sent me an IM asking how that was "gun related" so I re took the pick with my Glock 19 on the table. Hence making it gun related. It started off like that. Everyone seems to have gotten other stuff to add in to the pic.
I think its getting a little too outta hand. I mean you would need to have a wide angle lens to include all the staplers and etc. Keep it simple I say. Dinner, beverage, gun. Brief description of the dinner and the firearm. |
||||
|
That's awesome. If I didn't fear EdSr like Kermit fears Chuck Norris, I would send an IM and allow him to elaborate as well. |

I enjoy dinner pics where the meal actually looks good and there's some decent hardware on the table. I don't understand how the hell people eat some of the things they show us.
When you add beans to chili, it ceases to be chili |
|
I propose a dinner pic contest. Using past photos is acceptable. Do not use anyone elses pics.
If this generates enough interest I will start a thread. I have an old one from last year that I think still takes the cake. |
|
Fixed it for you hombre. |
|
|
i want to see it |
|
|
I've been desensitized by dinner pics....if they don't have a BOTD incorporated....I automatically deduct 9.5 points.
|
|
Dinner pics are cool but the followers who chime in with what they think you should have in the background is annoying.
|
|
I like them. Mostly they are lacking in their mad dinner skillz, though. Too much on the tape measure placement, not enough on the Rachel Ray presentation...
|
|
I tried to do it once, but I wound up stapling my napkin to a loaded magazine while balancing on a tape measure.
After I got out of the ER, my wife told me not to do this anymore. |
|
But that's the whole point of the thing. What the hell else is there to say? p.s. anyone with a RUGER P series in a dinner pic should be instantly BANNED! |
|
|
I can vouch for his story. LT started it, but BAMA raised it to an artform |
