It was a bad day....

[zavod44]

Well now that the leaves have fallen all around it's time I was on my way....hold on ....no, the leaves have started to fall here, and it exposed a 18 brownie behind a hedge....So I have been stalking it for two weeks.  I stopped a week ago but no one was home, and I noticed the house was for sale.  I was thinking maybe they need to get some old stuff out of the yard so the house looks nice and spiffy.  So yesterday I was talking to Stu on the phone, as usual he was on the hunt and twisting my arm to give up my good stuff......anyhow I told Stu I was gonna stop and I pulled up.  I knocked on the door and there was a huge dog barking (great thing for selling a house) anyhow, some ding dong kid finally answered the door. He looked like a reject form the X games....I said I had a weird question, for him, he just stared at me, I said that he had an old grill on the side of the house and I was wondering if he might want to sell it or trade it.  I was thinking this guy could use $30.00 for dope money....anyhow he said it was his dads.  I said do you think he would want to sell it?  He said no, I said can I leave my business card if he reconsiders, he said no, I said can I look at it?  he said no and shut the door in my face.  I got the fucking bums rush right out the door!  Today I drove by, it was gone, he must have moved it....I lose....I wish I could have talked to the Dad...although if the apple doesn't fall far from the tree then it prob wouldn't have mattered....

Sounds like you visited the Heisenberg's at the wrong time.

That sucks.  Do you feel like you are some kind of Jahovah's Witness for BBQ's when you do the "This is a weird question but.."

[zavod44]

Maybe I used to, not anymore.  I have dealt with so many people on CL I like the interaction you'll never know who your gonna meet...

That sucks Brian! Maybe they will move and leave it where you can grab it.

I think it's hilarious! Those things have happened to the best of us, but I like Brian's attitude. I feel the same way, so what, what's the worst that can happen? Well, I think what happened was about as bad as it get's. I have a feeling they were losing the house and probably not in the best mood.

I would imagine all it takes is to score one nice grill on a "cold call" and you get over the weird feeling pretty quick.

Hell,  all they can say is "no"  and you say "thanks" and move on.

[Cookiebaggs]

Oh, thanks for the handle.  It looks kick ass!  Like the cherry on top of a sundae.   

I'll get some pics of the black MBH with the handle tomorrow.  Firing it up for an Oktoberfest block party we are hosting.

Get pictures of your Oktoberfest, I'd love to see that old timer in action once again.....

nobody on the Zeppelin reference?  Anyone anyone.....

I will!  Used it once earlier this week.  I have 7 year old little guy that just loves everything off the grill.  He was pumped this last Tuesday to fire up the charcoal.  Almost more than I was.

...thanks to this post, I'm much obliged, sorry your brownie didn't have a pleasant stay...

That slacker kid said, "And now the time has come for you to be gone, the autumn moon lights your way..."

And Brian said, "I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way...  I guess I'll just keep ramblin' on..."

[zavod44]

Thank you.......pun intended

I kept looking for "Where's that confounded bridge?"
