I've seen a couple different pre-Foreman grills, and they suck AND
blow. Heavy things that look awkward as heck to use, and would
obviously be a huge pain to clean. They didn't have the slope of the
Foreman grill, so you had to clean all the squeezin's out of somewhere
in the machine. (The way everything runs off in the Foreman grill can
make things too dry/lean if you overcook them *at all*, but it sure
makes it cleaner.)

I bought a big waffle maker (4 waffles at once) for $5 because it had
removable, reversible plates (waffle surface on one side, flat with a
trough around the edge on the other side). I figured I'd be able to
make burgers on it, and the fat wouldn't run off as much as with the
Foreman, and I'd be able to remove the plates for washing. That was
true, but what I didn't foresee was how much splattering the Foreman
prevents by having the sides curl around the food somewhat. The
waffle maker cooked burgers, but it threw grease everywhere, and the
whole thing -- and the counter and wall behind it -- needed cleaning
afterwards.

George is a big goof, but good for him.

Actually, he's a very serious, determined guy who still has a lot of anger. The affable clown is his game face.

Certainly given that he went into a years long funk after Ali beat him down.
I'd say he recovered well! I'm happy for the big guy, but I hope he stays
out of the ring. He was a terror in his prime. The only way Ali could beat
him was to outsmart him.




I like George Foreman. I have a closetfull of his clothes.

That's not very nice; you should really give them back.
