Well, just when I think I'm catching on to the whole homeowners gig.......
We bought a new grill on Saturday, one of those nice new big things, was on sale for 170.00...normally like 320.00....good deal......get it home, heavier than hell, get it up on the deck......(thank god it was already assembled) trying to figure out how to connect the gas line to the propane tank........DEE DEE DEE turns out it's a friggin' NATURAL GAS LINE grill...not a propane powered one. No way to know that until you opened the manual AFTER getting it home.

By the way did I mention it was like 101 degrees Saturday?
So on top of that, upon further investigation I find a little "pick up later" slip inside the grill......that has somebody's number on it that had returned the grill previously.......so I call them up, and the SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEM, THAT'S WHY THEY RETURNED IT!
At this point, I'm ready to have pigs fly out of my *ss. So, I take it back to Lowes, and I am just going off on the manager, why don't you have some sort of a sign on this yadda yada yadda..........he was willing to give money back of course, but that wasn't the point at all, I said we needed a grill, and I want a propane powered one for 170.00 dollars! Well, he wasn't real sympathetic......UNTIL, get this........the returns lady standing there says, "You know, this is like the fourth grill I've had returned because of this same reason."
Upon hearing this the manager says, "Are you kidding me?"
He then turns to me and says,"Go pick yourself out a nice PROPANE powered grill......I don't care wich one, and we'll only charge you the original 170.00." heh heh
So, I picked me out a porcelain grate grill, with 4 burners and a side burner thingy...and all the bells and whistles, all for being a dumb*ss.
Although I was apparently the only one with enough cohonees to raise a stink about it......maybe I'm not such a dumb*ss after all.
hee hee.

My younger sibling has also had an incident with a grill, but that is referred to as the "Grilling incident" that landed him in the hospital with stitches, but that's a story for another time.
