I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Yes, my friend... the smell of a smoker with an offset firebox burning oak, mesquite, or pecan is the best thing a Texan could smell :D
