Action pic of me from a couple years ago...

I had a buddy take this shot (actually one of about 2 dozen) with my Nikon D40 back in 2007.

That's a pretty cool pic, Allen.

Hey, you really look like your AV. ;) Nice pic.

Allen!!! WOW... great pic... kinda reminded me of some rock concerts I have been to!

[Doc]

Good pic Allen. I'm curious too ....what were you cooking?

[joec]

Need to change your handle to fire starter. Just kidding.

Sweet Allen.... that only happens to me on accident! My latest pork chop flip disaster burns are almost healed

[High Cheese]

Great pic Allen!

You see - that's why you're the professional, Allen. Your sleeve isn't on fire, too!

Hey Allen, what is in the plastic tub on the side? Looks like seasoning.

[AllenOK]

Yup, that's a big pan. We have several, and yes, we do use them.

The shot was staged. I just put an empty pan over high heat, and poured in a couple ounces of brandy and let it ignite. No actual cooking involved.

Lefty: Years ago, I found a website that would let you custom-design your own South Park character. I designed one to be look as close as possible to me. Also, that's a basic salt-and-pepper mix in the tub.

Pancho, always flip away from you! I've got the burn scars to prove why it's a good idea.
