All Up In My Grill
I’d like to share a revelation I’ve had, Mr. Anderson
BUYING A GRILL IS REVOLUTIONARY
Had a nice little Monday (well it was May 1st) planned out the other week complete with a trip to Home Base. Home Base is the UK’s smaller, weaker, and just as orange version of Home Depot.
Upon entering Home Base, a wave of relief rushed over me as I realized prices were reasonable and items were sold in bulk. AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ended up settling on an Italian made grill because history has taught me nothing. A tank of butane cost me about $50. Can’t remember what I used to pay on Columbia Pike, but I’m pretty sure $20 covered it. So after swallowing my tongue and sticking a fork in my eye, I made it home with my new baby.
After wiping my ass with the Italian instruction manual, I examined the parts before me. Everything seemed to be there. And actually assembly went smoothly, despite having to force feed screws into some tight Italian holes. Oh!
Luckily I avoided the Homer building a dog house experience.
