The story of how Cancrusher finally got his big-boy Weber:
Once upon a time Cancrusher got married to the beautiful Mrs. Cancrusher (6-6-09). All of their friends went in on a gift for the newly weds. In their infinite wisdom they decided to get them a large, 4-burner Brinkman propane grill. What they didn't know was that Mr. Cancrusher was a charcoal purist and that the grill they just purchased him was going to collect dust in the garage while he continued to grill on his little Weber Smokey Joe.
Then one day a light bulb went off! Sell the Propane imposter and get a big-boy Weber! This idea met with much resistance as Mrs. Cancrusher had somehow become emotionally attached to the hunk of metal that was rotting in the garage. "IT'S FROM OUR FRIENDS!", she would chant. "FRIENDS! THEY BOUGHT US A GAS GRILL! THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW US!", he'd reply. This went on for some time before Cancrusher wised up. "I must think of a way to fix this situation", he thought to himself over a bowl of cheerios one morning. He went on to convince Mrs. Cancrusher that the Brinkman would live on vicariously through the Weber, and that the Weber would actually get used. He's wielded his words with the swiftness of an arrow, raining down upon her a wave of logic the likes of which she'd never heard.
6/14/2011 -- Cancrusher sold the pile of trash in his garage and was able to get his Weber 22.5" One-Touch Gold and still have enough money for the grill cover. He is anxiously awaiting the end of the work week when he will be able to crack open a few cold ones, throw some thick cut, hickory seasoned pork chops on that sparkly new rack, and enjoy all that is GRILLING!
