I only wanted the Horseshoes .

[Idahawk]

Cue the Sanford and Son music

I've been looking for some horseshoes for a while now and finally scored some on CL .

I had a hard time finding the house , it was in an area near a college and as I turned onto this unmarked street on a beautiful day right before my eyes are at least 20-30 girls laying out all over the lawns of this townhouse complex, their in bikinis enjoying the sun and cold beers despite it only bring lunch time 

I ask if its the right street and oh I don't know 6-7 babes approach my truck and ask who I'm looking for ? I give them the name and I'm in the right place .......I mean I'm really in the right place

Suddenly someone's mom pops out ....fantasy on pause for a moment .

She asks if I'm here for the shoes and I hand her the cash , she explains the girls are moving,  schools over for the summer and would I be interested in anything else , I said possibly ? But I only have  a little cash with me. We walk around the side and there's a pile  of stuff .first thing I spot is a weber gasser , but it doesn't look right . I open the lid and it's been painted from red to flat black but the burner tubes and bars are in great shape with cast iron grill grates plus a full tank of propane . I also see a kettle that looks brand new a 22 black ( AA) , I open it and it's cooked on maybe once . So I ask what she'd take for the grills and she says take what you want , free .

So now I've got two  grills,  horseshoes , girls in bikinis with beers and  if I would have had some steaks with me I'd probably be divorced right now .

I start loading up  and some others girls approach me with golf clubs, nice sets too  you want these ? Sure ....I can't say no to scantly clad coeds and before I know it I'm loaded up with stuff .

I get all the load secured , take one more  look across the lawn as to burn the image in my mind forever and drive away . What now ? I don't want all the stuff ..so

I have a buddy with a junk hauling business , he keeps a retail yard, I opt to go there and unload some stuff . He looks at the clubs and some other stuff and agrees to trade , I spot a big ole box of split wood, it says cherry for BBQ and a slicer looking device that has blades on it like a kitchen aid slicer attachment , it's marked Duncan Hines . I thought to myself , when did Duncan Hines make appliances , this might be cool . I make the trade and away I go with 2 grills , a 30 pound box of wood , a slicer I think is old and of course the horseshoes to which I paid $20.00 for .

Turns out the Duncan Hines Slicer is from 1955 and worth 40-60 dollars on E-bay , my buddy had it marked for $2.00 and is pissed he didn't notice the name and research it , I'll probably give it back to him to be cool .

Cooked on the kettle last night , it's found a home and the gasser will help with another restore I'm doing.

The best $20.00 I ever spent





Hope you enjoyed the story .

While I really appreciate the pictures of the horseshoes, grill, and wood, I am hoping there are more pictures of your adventure that you are going to post...

Sounds like the start of a porno...not that I would know.

I can't believe you seriously too pictures of the grills and left out the bikinis. You have officially lost your Mancard here at the WKC. Kindly turn in your grills to the closest Grillfella and go and get your Memorial Day sale Charbroil and don't forget the lighter fluid and WalMart brand charcoal.

As far as I can tell, its still intact.. Thanks for sharing.. 

Lets see.. checking Craigslist for any ads near colleges.. Oh, uh, I  was thinking to myself, git your own fantasy!
