I'd give you a GA. And it is humor and it is appropriate. Only he would say it is a top tier appliance and send the bill to our grandkids to pay for.

While the chief design engineer of the American Metal Shopping Cart Co. laments stumbling into the Plastics Mfg. Association trade show in Las Vegas after so many JD shots, he still has fond memories of Kathleen from PMA marketing.

Cheeky monkey cat. No salmon for you my lad!

Elroy is a boy's name...and I'm not at a certain age it's an uncertain age: ask Kris

At least women aren't like men; men have a difficult age - when they're between 4 and death!

Love the upper "warming rack" on this grill. It even folds up!

Aldi stores always have the most frugile shoppers. A dollar for the teflan pan, and a quarter for the bbq grill/cook stove.

Shop till you drop and when you get hungry cook it all in the same carriage. That´s the Wal-mart experience.

This amazing offer not available in stores. You can grill on it, shop with it, use it as a playpen, haul wood with it, you can even store camping gear in it.

For breakfast today we have the toast kabobs, together with the succulent fried sun ripened carp on a bed of tender grubs, all created over a genuine crate wood fire and served ala carte.

For your pleasure, our daughter Gilda will play the recorder.

Thank you for visiting "Trailer Down By the River Ristorante".
