It took me two hours to assemble my cheap charcoal grill!

[crim son]

Wasn't there a time when they came already put together? It wasn't hard but - two hours! Of course I was distracted by "America's Got Talent" (nope, apparently not). Howdy, Lounge. Hope you're well. :hi:

[SPKrazy]

1. you've missed it

rev dumped me :(

so, you like hogs?

:D

[crim son]

2. That's a non-sequitur, right?

:P

[SPKrazy]

4. it's an attention whore's attempt to get your attention!

[crim son]

6. I just now saw the post. Fifi?

Maybe the two of you should try to hold on, you know, for the hogs' sake. And friend, I posted about grill assemblage: who's the whore? :D

[SPKrazy]

23. I busted into your thread on bbq grills

to get your attention

:rofl:

i think i win the prize :9

[crim son]

25. If you don't let me win the prize, I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue.

Then I'm gonna scream real loud and pretend you're attacking me. I WIN THE PRIZE!

[SPKrazy]

26. neener

i'll scream that you are attacking me, and I WILL WIN THE PRIZE!!!!!!1111111


:rofl:

[crim son]

27. I think now is a good time to tell you that Henry lost his other

upper tooth AND he got 100% on his spelling test! Again!! :D :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

38. yayyyy Henry!

m. man is a great speller too he got very good marks on his benchmark tests, and the iowa tests

and he is getting his new tooth in

and he makes 100% on his spelling test

and he can multiply 14 x 14 :silly:


:rofl:

:P

[crim son]

49. Yabbut

do all the first-grade girls think he's hot? Take a look at this guy? What is there about him NOT to love? Okay, don't answer that.

[SPKrazy]

58. He is totally lovable

and hot!

no wonder he girls like him.

I dunno if the first grade girls all like M.

I think some do, but he's a shy guy like his dad.

[Inchworm]

5. he was also framed and sent to jail

we never spent the night together, but I will remember him forever :D

:hi:

[crim son]

17. That's sweet, Inchworm.

:wtf: :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

44. he will remember me forever

:rofl:


:eyes:

it was just one night in the jail it was a frame up, a little weed? :shrug:

[crim son]

46. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!

Is it true, what they say about him? "Inchworm"? :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

59. I will not say

ha ha ha!

inchy, your secret is safe with me ;)

[Inchworm]

60. sweet beebe jeebus!

Glad I clicked here lol

umm.. umm.. so what was the question?

:rofl:

[Omphaloskepsis]

3. Was it a Weber?

Those can be a pain to put together.

[Lex]

8. You slide the legs in the holes

and then put the 2 wheels on with a nut and bolt. Or at least mine was that way.

[crim son]

12. Mine wasn't much different.

There were no holes for the legs - I had to screw them into what essentially are brackets; and I had to put the lid together and the shelf at the bottom. Even the stupid wheels needed some assembling... hubcaps.

[crim son]

9. This was an, umm, crap, I've already forgotten. Hang on.

A "Thermos". The directions were pretty clear and all the pieces were in the box. I think I'm just slow. Hi, Omphaloskepsis :hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

29. Repetition is key.

Next time it will be easy. Props for following through. I had a girlfriend once that gave up putting one together and balanced the bowl part on rocks she found in her lawn.. It was a strange mixture of lust and disgust I felt that evening. The cheeseburgers were fantastic.

[crim son]

31. Best post of the month.

I shit you not.

[Lex]

7. You didn't get a Weber?

I lurve my charcoal Weber and I totally rule when I cook on it. It came pretty much assembled.

[crim son]

10. I didn't even see a Weber.

It looks like one, though :think:

[Lex]

13. Eh, good enough.

The barrel shape is optimal for spreading the heat throughout in the inside when you close the lid.

Weber people kind of have a cult about Webers. Their online site used to be full of useful grilling info and recipes. Haven't visited there in a while.

Congrats on the new grill! :hi:

[crim son]

19. Thanks!

This thing will probably fall apart before the summer ends and next time I'll check out the Webers! :hi:

[Lex]

21. It'll be

your practice grill, before you move up to the Webers. Which, by the way, will last for years and years and years.

[mitchum]

37. I have one of those!

Ohmygod...I am turning into my father :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. I'll take a cheeseburger, thank you.

:P

[crim son]

14. You ARE a cheeseburger, thank you.

It's 11:32. Come by tomorrow and you may have your burger. I've never used a charcoal grill before so we might be eating late. :D

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. We'll also be having food.

:evilgrin: :hide:

[crim son]

16. Great minds...

I was just about to propose certain activities while we wait for the flesh to burn...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. We could grill the burgers.

:rofl: ;)

[crim son]

20. LOL.

A statement that covers all bases, and none. So, what time can I expect you? :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. As Ray Charles said...

Night time is the right time... :D

[crim son]

24. After thirty, it's the ONLY time, SA.

IMHO. The door's open. Come in, go through the door on your right and up the stairs. First door on the left.

I can dream, can't I?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. You damn well better.

:P

[crim son]

30. Oh yeah.

The man I'm seeing, he's just filling in until you realize you can't live without me, move up to Maine to become a potato farmer, and we live happily ever after. :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. You're seeing somebody?!

:mad:

I ain't farming shit! :P
.

But I'll still plow your field. :evilgrin:

[crim son]

34. You can always work reception at Eastern Maine Medical Center.

I'm seeing somebody, yes. It's improved my mood and lowered my blood pressure :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

36. Well, that's good.

I would only raise your blood pressure. :P

[crim son]

39. Are you trying to rain on my parade?

Ah, it's okay, I forgive you.

How about this: I win the lottery, buy a private jet, and have you flown up here several times a week?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

40. No, no, I'm happy for you.

And I'll gladly be your layover. ;)

[crim son]

45. The fact that I'm actually seeing somebody should give you great hope.

I've got age, temperment and demographics working against me. You, you're in The City! Except on M, W, F & the weekends, when you're up here, that is.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

48. But I'm poor and undesirable.

x(

[crim son]

52. You may be poor

but who wants a lover who looks at you as a source of income? As for undesirable, pfffft. I've been chasing your dear ass for six months. Would I do that if you were undesirable? Unlikely. :hug: :loveya: :hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

54. But you've been high this whole time.

:rofl: :hug:

[crim son]

55. Err, isn't that you?

No, I just like them shy brown boys who know how to write when the spirit moves them.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

56. Damn projection.

You have weird taste in men. :P

I did get some writing done, though. :D

[ContraBass Black]

33. Just hope it doesn't spontaneously disassemble itself when you use it.

[crim son]

35. You think I haven't considered the possibility?

Laughing. I'm always confused about what constitutes tightening without over-tightening. That grill is a disaster waiting to happen.

[Ptah]

41. Screw threads are the phat bomb

[crim son]

42. I was prepared to be shocked and offended

until I saw your diagrams! :loveya:

[Ptah]

51. I used to do that for money {screw threads}

:blush:

[crim son]

53. Oh no. You've got me thinking of you from a whole different

... perspective. :blush:

[TOhioLiberal]

43. Hi Crim son...

...how are you?

[crim son]

47. Who are you laughing at? Me?

:D I'm doing GREAT! My grill is ready to go, I've got a showing next week and... and... well, that's about it. How are you?

[TOhioLiberal]

50. I'm okay...

...just kinda post-whoring around...happened upon this thread... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=6581282&mesg_id=6581282

57. Just an FYI
