Ryan's Workshop Miracles...
Martin G. Q. Model---The Master
Model in training (Coca-Cola almost used this photo in a promo-add! The only nitch was Uncle Grant's lack of positioning the Coka-Cola can... that wasn't covered in the first few sessions with Ryan... still so much to learn)!
Model in Training #2! (just look at the perfect positioning of the legs and that form for roasting weaners on a stick...) Well done Ryan!

Ryan- wow! Most impressive! When will you be giving your next sessions and how much is the cost... is there a family member discount rate?
I'm trying to visualize USD and Grant walking the model strut!! That would be quite the sight!
The best part is Uncle Grant’s soda etiquette. Note the curled pinky! According to Emily Post, manner is "...personality—the outward manifestation of one’s innate character and attitude toward life”. So, I suppose that means, if going by the proper manners in the picture, Uncle Grant’s innate character is stellar and his attitude towards life is "top-shelf"!! Way to go Pinky Curler!!
USD - Those trunks make me think of Greased Lightnin'
Go, Greased Lightnin'
You're burnin' up the pebble beaches
Greased Lightnin', go Greased Lightnin'
Go Greased Lightnin'
You're toasting through the weenie’s on a stick
Greased Lightnin', go Greased Lightnin'
You are supreme
Aunt Ginny'll scream
For Greased Lightnin'
Go go go go go go go go
i love the backround and the candid rear shot. someone is mad, whoever that is bending over. way to go photographer. now i understand why coca-cola didnt use this picture.
Hey Holly, can you keep your dad in line please? I mean FOR REAL!!!
Oh gross! Jeff, please, where is Laura when you write such things?
Although, I must admit I grated part of my knuckle into some cheese for chicken enchiladas last week, and the family said they were the best enchiladas ever. I didn't tell them my secret ingredient.
I am so sorry...I have no control over him when he is blogging!!!!
(I must agree with you all...GROSS!)
We may need to address this issue of "grossing out ones family" in a class! Just another course offering for the "Bass Lake Academy" I think the numbers for camp will definately be "UP" in '06
with the addition of all the self help courses!!
Don't you?

Sick Jeff- that even beats out my murkey pond soar story!! Not the kind of thing one wants to read so early at the Met-Pro desk!
Hey- at least it has disgusted me out of a donut!!!
Please! Eating human flesh has got to have a higher disturbance factor than murky pond sores! Way higher on the gross-out scale!
I must admit - ugw and usd have mastered the Ryan pose! I could spot their teacher immediately.
Ya, the only way the scab story would have been worse is if Rebeka actually ate her scab.
Although, I can't imagine that a scab and hotdog are that much different in taste and look!
Okay= nasty!! sars-a-swimming!!! Let me put everyone at ease- I did not eat my scab! And yes! Uncle Jeff way out-disgusted everyone-- my murkey-pond-water soar story looks like a sweet-innocent fairy-tale next to Jeff's!
Joel Pete - so nice to hear from you again! And my sympathies are with you growing up with such a sibling.
Actually, we are having enchiladas again - but Jim bought the cheese pre-grated. Perhaps he was aware of the ingredients the last time we enjoyed them!
Thinking of hot dogs tomorrow night!
Hey Char, really you should try Reb's special secret ingredient... 'scab' in those enchilladas...I'm sure it would give them a little extra crunch and extra flavor too!
How can you desecrate our time-honored family tradition of picnics on the pebble beach with you fabrications? It makes one wonder what YOU are eating at your family get-togethers, if you assume that WE eat fingers, legs, etc. In reality WE never even sweat in our food! Wondered about the extra saltiness of those pancakes - although I am NOT criticizing the pancakes. They were delicious and I don't want to jeopardize any future opportunites to eat them! If YOU, however, want to go to Pizza Hut on our night to cook - feel free. We've had no complaints, and your absence would leave MUCH more for the rest of us (no reference to the big old pot there).
OUCH Char!
Let's see who tried to refuel a feud: "What does your group cook at Bass Lake? Can you say Pizza Hut?"
The feud is over. I'll forgive that comment even if it's not repented of!
Wow - maybe I should co-teach the sweetness class now!
No viciousness intended! Read it with a different tone of voice - you know, light-hearted and chuckling, with a smile. ;-)
Let's agree that a little sweat in the pancakes and a little knuckle in the enchiladas never hurt anyone, AND that these enhancing ingredients do NOT put us in the camp of the Donner Party OR "Hannibal." (Jeff, how COULD you mention such evil?)
And yes, now that you mention it, it could have been a case of a KETTLE calling an OLD POT. I'll admit that.
I think, Jeff, that you crossed a line when you brought up our cooking night at Bass Lake. As Martins, we endlessly point out the flaws in our own cooking at every occasion. Perhaps I was a bit sensitive hearing a potential criticism coming from a voice other than my own.
Obviously, Laura has had a wonderful influence in your life, Jeff! How very nice you can be! Of course, we know you ALWAYS were nice, even BL, but I think she's helped your ability to apologize AND forgive. I'm sure you won't mind my giving her all the credit. Yes, let's teach others how to get along as well as we do. Now if only I weren't doubting your sincerity! lol
Is Joel Pete really missing a toe on each foot? Tell me it's a joke!
OK is this the one and only Willy who appeared on Oprah at Martin camp, who posted these pix? I must say they are ummmm.... are there any words in the English language to describe them? Wow! for once I am at a loss for words. Well it's good to know that the Martins are all out there still.
