This installment of Friday release valve is brought to you by Meat Bullets,

the quickest, deadliest way to deliver high-velocity protein in a straight line, period.

Hey Larry, thanks for inviting me to your barbecue.

Sure thing, Tim.

Thanks for being neighborly.

Say, where's your grill?

And why do you have an acre-long fire pit in your backyard?

Oh, you'll see.

Is that your son at the end of the fire pit wearing a bulletproof vest, catchers mitt,

and holding a steak fork? Yep, that's Larry Jr. He's the captain of the football team and the ballet team because it's

2021 and we send our kids to Montessori school. Very impressive. Oh my God you just shot your kid.

Take another look.

Oh, ha ha, you fired a meat bullet at him.

What a wholesome way to combine barbecuing with sharp shooting.

That's not the half of it. Here take a bite of this. Wow, that's the best teriyaki steak I've ever had. Can I have another? Sure thing.

Delicious! Delicious! This is even better than the first one.

Here, let me try.

Did you shoot meat bullets or regular bullets?

Uh-oh.

I'll get some band-aids.

Meat bullets by delicious munitions.

Ready, aim, snack.
