  1. Elect me Master of the Universe and I will switch CamCaps over to Unifon English. Problem solved. After that, we switch all qwerty keyboards over to Dvorak. Another problems solved. Then I'll make Leora, Chloe, and Eva my Mistresses of the Universe, and have them post their pictures and videos on CamCaps so we can continue our worship ceremonies without interference from RLC. Another problem solved. Then I'll ban myself tomorrow for posting off-topic crap.
  2. I always water-smoke my meats. This makes them retain moisture, even poultry. The only trick with savor smoking (that means you are only adding a bit of smoking flavor, not as a long-term preservative), is to stick with low-and-slow. Weber's can do this with only the addition of a water tray. It's not that hard to learn, and a light touch of smoke adds to the barbecue flavor. Because the process is in-direct, and not cooking over the coals, you will not be generating carcinogenic by-products and having flash flame-ups. By controlling how long you smoke it, and how much wood you use, you can control the taste to suit your needs. I've backed waaaayyy-off on the over-smoking since otherwise I can get some serious heart-burn. I've had cherry, plum, pear, and apple trees, so when pruning time comes, I'm pretty much set for much of the year with a choice to mix and match my flavors.
  3. Name your favorite smoking wood. When I can get it, grapefruit is excellent, especially for those meats that tend to become bitter when over-smoked with woods like mesquite. The fruit is sour, but the wood itself imparts a sweet, mellow flavor. Generally, I use fruit, nut trees, and oak chunks since I live in the land of fruits and nuts. ;-)
  4. We're with you in spirit. Gourmet has been repaired, and I shall severely punish the squirrel-brain involved after I refill my bird-feeder. Regarding the tool: I have been using my horizontal smoker for about 25 years. I have been through bunches of brushes and gallons of Easy-Off. I might give that brush you suggested a try. Fortunately, the grates were porcelain coated, which should have made the job easier. But I'd rather "cue" than clean, and cleaning is the worst aspect of barbecuing. This scraper-brush looks like it will hold up better than the other models.
  5. You're going to do great here, my friend. Nothing beats fresh ingredients for great barbecue. And of our members here, you no doubt are the master of prep and cooking for very fresh ingredients. That Traeger looks interesting. I've been using a horizontal with a smoke box, with a thick gauge of metal for years. I generally just use charcoal and wood and water-smoke. But that takes a lot of manual tending the heat and moisture. Hence, the cost of my beer goes way up. I just tell the wife, "Gee hon, this is really hard grueling work out in the summer sun -- makes a man thirsty."
  6. Here we manly men and adventurous women get out of the kitchen to the patio and do serious cooking. Your device, your style, your stories, your successes (and dismal failures) must be discussed. No stories about barbecued squirrels, if you can help it. Thank you. Non-rodent recipes and refreshing adult beverages highly welcome.
  7. I'm a poor squirrel. I'll stick with 20 pecans per year with CamCaps. Other than that, I've tried VHTV's time-line and it's a great idea and presentation. I just wish VHTV could snag some of the former Russian RLC couples, of which I have my favorites. This is all wishful thinking, but until such things happen, I will very much thank RLC & VHTV subscribers for the latest information. I get busy repairing pot-holes in the streets of CamCaps and have trouble keeping up with things, you understand. That's why I'm still on CamCaps. Otherwise I'd miss too much. (Hey, was that a fucking plug for CamCaps Premium membership, or what? You bet your booty it was! 😁🤣)
  8. My shithead cousins followed me here, evidentially. I will use my mighty ban hammer to destroy them and our love nest shall not be disturbed by them again. Be right back. Stay hot. 😍🤣
  9. Archive time. Archive time. Archive time. Maybe a poll about which site has the best squirrel? CC or RLCF? Personally, I think both of these characters do a fantastic job... 🤣
  10. Don't worry, many people like me check in to see if RLC has made repairs to a sinking ship. This increases their traffic hit count, but I don't activate my Flash and I don't think 2.5 seconds qualifies as a decent contribution to their time-on-page count. If something amazing happens, I'll be satisfied to learn it from hanging around CamCaps.
  11. I'm glad you're leaving the rodents out of the equation. 😁
  12. The report button is on the top-right side of the comment, next to the "share" button. The report button says "Report Post." Thank you.
  13. RLC should have never given up its real branding identity and tried to compete with VHTV. They appeal to different markets, and RLC has lost the market it once had. RLC must regain what it once did so well, with interesting and talented "non-professional" couples interacting in a deeper way -- professional teasing shows are better done by sites other than RLC. They did "normal everyday couples" quite well, and should have stuck with that as their trademark. I hope they go back to that -- and realize we can be of terrific advertising service if they would just reform.
  14. Methinks this thread's concept is backwards. I think RLC doesn't want to deal with Putin's control of the Russian Internet. The only people who wanted control of the Internet in the USA was, er, um, Al Gore and Clinton. They wanted to restrict the number of encryption iterations that could be used for the security of private sector computer transactions. Those of us in the know detested this restriction. The Internet belongs to the people of the Earth, not to the governments.
  15. The 5 stages of grief and loss are: 1. Denial and isolation; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance. People who are grieving do not necessarily go through the stages in the same order or experience all of them. When we hit Stage 5, we can probably archive this miserable thread. I'm about done with Stage 2. My feet hurt from kicking in the walls.
  16. I always felt Martina was highly underrated. The simple fact is the apartment is the oldest surviving one from the days when RLC was about absolutely normal couples and not wannabe porn stars. Somewhere along the line, RLC dumped its original Mission Statement. Martina and Alberto remain true to the original RLC model. Personally, I've never been interested in the all-girl's Barc apartments, and I am left with CC and my fellow CC members to keep up with things. If you discount Martina & Alberto, VHTV does what it does better; there's a ton of stuff over there; their customer service is better; the time-line is terrific, and they are open and honest in the VHTVBlog when shut-downs occur. And VHTV is not hostile to CC as RLC has been for several years.
  17. RLC might have less cancellations and pissed-off subscribers if they would at least take some time to EXPLAIN THE FUCKING SITUATION to their customers. Call in the fucking damage control experts, dammit. Corporations and politicians use them -- and for a damn good reason. I'd say excuse my French, but I've resorted to Anglo-Saxon terms: they are better at expressions of anger and frustration than provincial Latin.
  18. Service? Service? You don't provide enough straight-jackets, and you think you're doing some kind service to crazed and depraved CC members? What this thread needs is huge doses of Chlorpromazine and Fentanyl. Stat. Myself, since my beloved Goddess and a few Princesses have been tossed into the dumpster, I only need some basic rabies treatment.
  19. They're either browsing CamCaps or watching VHTV. If you need to relax so that you can fall asleep, I highly recommend you take 20mgs of Melatonin and watch 10 minutes of RLC before going to bed. That will do the trick.
  20. I'm more worried about the carpet. That's gotta be unhygienic by now.
  21. If this happens, I suggest you get rid of your pillows before you adopt her. She's not the nice kind of messy
  22. I don't believe the Russians took down the site. RLC perhaps did not want to deal with the threat of upcoming legal actions. Smuggle L&P out of the country? Whelp, I have room in my nest for Leora. I'm certain that Pepe would love to room with Scooter. Paul would just need to go the Mexican border and say "Amnesty." That way, at least in California, he'll get free stuff for the rest of his life.
  23. I'm not policing this thread for Off-Topic (I am the King of off-topic), and I don't think the other Mods care much, either. The thread is here to rant, rave, express grief, etc., but I wish to thank rado07 for posting actually useful information. It has been in short supply. Here ya go rado07 -- keep this highly coveted award polished and displayed proudly:
  24. If you don't trust me, just go there yourself. Take a U-Haul truck, drive in (it's a gated community) and tell the guy you're there to help Leora move out. Better take plenty of ammunition and some AK-47s, cuz I heard that they have a dangerous gang of illegal aliens there. 😀
  25. If you were referring to my top-secret intelligence gather from my crack team of ground squirrel agents, it is located here:
