OK, I'll bite. Do the Right Thing, Samuel Jackson.

And yes, I would agree grilling in the 40's is nothing. Though I
wouldn't go on my patio barefoot. Even 30's is OK, but once it starts to
get into the 20's and lower, my motivation for grilling/Q'ing is not as
great. Time for a good batch of chili or stew cooked on the stove.

Happy Q'en,
BBQ
