Just make sure the tines of the rake are free of any pesticides, dirt's ok - just no commercial nerve agents. As to the marshmallows, burnt or just golden brown?

My grandpa always said a little dirt never hurt anyone. Marshmellows, semi-burnt on the outside...soft on the inside.
pardon me, ma'am, but ii don't see the redneck in it...that appears to be a lawn rake...now if it were a hay fork, pitch fork or something like that, then i would concur that we were looking at a genuine redneck wiener roaster...what you have there, ma'am, is a Yankee imposter...:D
LOL what, "yaawl" don't rake leaves in the south? :D
I'm learnin' I'm learnin'...
LOL what, "yaawl" don't rake leaves in the south? that's what lawnmowers are for...run over 'em, mulch 'em...besides, we use rakes for that...heavy tined rakes for pine needles and such as that...
can't say i remember ever raking anything other than magnolia leaves...picked up a buncha pine cones in my time, though...
Ahh much more efficient with the use of the lawnmower. We had to rake when I was a young lass, and then burn 'em. Still can remember that smell. Not too many pine cones in my little space of Yankee-land.
Not too many pine cones in my little space of Yankee-land.lucky you...:D
So I hear, I'm sure you picked up enough for the both of us. :D
Nice avatar btw!
Nice avatar btw!thank y'kindly...there are many on this list who have picked up many more than me...i was not that fond of Ft. Bragg...

Steve-
the avatar looks familiar - I seem to remember it as a drawing in one of the HQ's can't remember if it was Co, BN, or Grp at Devens....
Plenty of pinecones at Devens - and leaves, although there were considerably more pinecones at Bragg.
Gypsy-
You called Steve a boat with yawl, y'all is people - actually I think you used yaawl - which makes him a pointed object used by boat people while working with leather - hmmmm, interesting - Dr. Freud, got any insights to this little slip?
You did describe the perfect open fire marshmallow. Dirt's fine, eaten plenty in my time, it's those nasty pyrithrins and such that can really ruin your week, convulsing, foaming, respiratory failure - no fun eating nerve agents, plus they taste bad.

I have to dissagree with you. If it were a Yankee rake it would be plastic.

According to the url extension in the picture, the kid's from Hungary. Looking at the complexion, the clothing, the car, (and the appetite), I'd believe it.

Yeah yeah, I had "ya'll" but changed it to exagerate the pronunciation of the yaaaaall sound via the printed word.
'sides what's wrong with leather? :p

[should I do it, should I take my life in my hands and snipe an Irish, Sicilian, redheaded XX? Yes, I'm stupid enough.]
Nothing is wrong with leather, as long as you're wearing a leather teddy...
Goodbye gentlemen, I think I've just committed suicide - If Ms. G doesn't get me, one of our other 'demure' XXs will.

the avatar looks familiar - I seem to remember it as a drawing in one of the HQ's can't remember if it was Co, BN, or Grp at Devens....an artist named Cassady did a series of such drawings...the one i use for an avatar was pretty common around Devens and Toelz...mine was given to me when i was pardoned for my sins as a "senior" lieutenant and released from my indenture as S2 to command a detachment...the XO seemed to be of the opinion the image fit me...
he (Cassady) also did one of a company commander, in the same vein, called "The Old Man"...when i was a company commander in Alaska, it hung in my office...every company commander since the print was released had signed it on the back, with the dates of command tenure below the signature...at the time of my departure, i had the longest (21 months)...
but alas, i digress...
picked up plenty of pine cones at Devens, but thankfully the snow covered them in short order...shovelled a lot of snow there...
and Kyo, the truth be known, i am unfamiliar with Yankee rakes...i now live in the high desert and am xeriscaping the yard...

Steve,
Now I remember! If you came in the "Team Side" (back, we were 'asked' not to use the front entrance) of Grp HQ, up the stairs to the big hall with the 10th Grp Crest - the whole series of originals was hung along one wall. This was the same area where you 'did time' on Grp CQ, signing people in and out on leave, TDY, PCS, ETS, etc. the G and S shops were right around the same area.
Hell, I'm having a hard time remembering names anymore, but that picture just jumped into my head.

You're not stupid, you just enjoy living on the edge... :D
Now, where did I put my leather conditioner?
Now I remember! If you came in the "Team Side" (back, we were 'asked' not to use the front entrance) of Grp HQmy first day in 10th Group, i strolled through the front door like i knew what i was doing...the Group CSM caught me and asked me what team i was on..."Don't know Sarn't Major, i just got here..." "When you find out what team you're on, you come report to me..." i actually did as instructed and he had a rather pleasant introductory spiel that included a tour of the door that A-team pukes were to use when visiting Group Headquarters...
and i ain't never roasted no hot dog or marshmeller off'n no rake...we used hickory branches...and forsythia switches...efficiency on a scale of using a rake was considered uncouth where i come from...why cook 'em all at onct...? set a spell and have a pull off the jug...ya'll oughta know that...

Ahhh, yes the pleasantries of arrival at Ft Devo - I do believe every FNG made the same mistake, and got the same lecture (more strongly worded for the E's) and tour - with the admonition that the only reason to come to GHQ was if summoned, promo board, a change of station, CQ, Co Business, or to purchase your coin (best done upon arrival, if'n ya know what I mean).
Ahh yes Cap'n Steve, brings back fine menmories of RS, the last day of the exercise - our G-Chief did the roast and toast with some homebrew (turpentine, I think) right before we did our 3 day CA mission... the first morning of CA was not pleasant. We actually had a guy start to toast a hotdog on a poison oak branch - but stopped him.
