**Investigation Underway After Charred Body Discovered on Stone Mountain Near Atlanta: Local Residents Blame BBQ Competition Gone Wrong**
In a shocking turn of events, a charred body was discovered on Stone Mountain near Atlanta, prompting an investigation that has left local residents scratching their heads and reaching for their tongs. Authorities are currently treating the incident as suspicious, but locals are convinced it’s just the aftermath of the annual “Stone Mountain BBQ Bonanza.”
“I told my husband not to invite Uncle Larry to the cook-off,” said local resident Betty Lou Picklesworth. “He always thinks he’s the ‘Grill Master’ but ends up turning everything into charcoal. I mean, last year he tried to smoke a turkey and we ended up with a Thanksgiving bonfire!”
While the identity of the charred individual remains a mystery, BBQ enthusiasts are already speculating. “It could be the ghost of BBQ past,” said self-proclaimed grill guru, Smokey McFlameface. “Or maybe it’s just Larry’s latest attempt at ‘smoked brisket.’ Either way, I’m not touching anything that looks like it’s been through a fire pit.”
Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward, but so far, the only leads have come from a group of local teenagers who claim they saw a “flaming hot dog” rolling down the mountain just before the discovery. “It was like a scene from a horror movie,” said 16-year-old Chad “The Grillinator” Johnson. “I thought it was just a prank until I realized it was actually a hot dog on fire. I mean, who does that?”
As the investigation continues, local BBQ joints are cashing in on the chaos. “We’re offering a ‘Charred Body Special’—two ribs and a side of coleslaw for the price of one!” said the owner of Smoky’s BBQ Shack, who declined to give his real name for fear of being associated with the incident. “We’re just trying to keep the spirit of BBQ alive, even if it means serving up a side of mystery.”
In the meantime, authorities are reminding everyone to keep their grilling skills in check. “If you can’t tell the difference between a steak and a crime scene, it might be time to reconsider your BBQ game,” said Detective Grayson “The Sizzle” Thompson. “And for the love of all that is holy, please don’t invite Uncle Larry.”
