Sod's Law: the BBQ corollary

Posted on June 5, 2006June 5, 2008 By admin

Last Sunday was forecast to be a nice and sunny day, and so it was – for the most part. We had planned to assemble the BBQ that day, which we did (accompanied by a few members of the local the wasp population which decided to pay a visit and thus freaking me out). It was nonetheless a nice day out (but I was a bit to stressed out to enjoy it).

We went to get a canister of propane (making sure to take the gas regulator with us, because apparently, there's a bajillion types and subtypes, depending on what sort of gas/gas canister you want). Anyway, we got the gas, and it was still a lovely sunny warm day.

I spent part of the afternoon making homemade, garlic-free, spicy BBQ sauce (which is quite NUMMAY, btw). The sun was pouring in through the kitchen windows.

At 5:00 when I started making the kabobs, it started clouding up.

At 5:30 when I lit the BBQ, it started raining.

And thus is the archtypical example of Sod's Law.

We still got everything cooked, and it was enjoyed by all.

Quote of the day

Everything starts somewhere, though many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things. They wonder how the snowplough driver gets to work, or how the makers of dictionaries look up the spelling of words.
--(Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)
