The first XMAS gift I'm already returning

[Luther]

I had bought Mrs. Luth one of those Mr. Heater's...which is a propane heater. It can use either two of those one pound twist on metal bottles, or hook it up to your big ass propane tank you use for your burgers.

One problem...it doesn't put out enough heat to really make any type of difference on a partially enclosed deck. The wife likes to sit on our covered deck, smoke a cigarette and reflect on how great her life is that she is married to Luther. If there is zero wind, then maybe it makes a little difference, but sure as hell not $137 worth.

I let Mrs. Luth open it yesterday as she was having about fifteen gals over from Emanuel Hospital, where she works. She said a couple of them went on the deck and the heater really was just an orange glow in the corner. It can burn a one pound canister in 1.5 hours. That simply doesn't cut it.

Other Christmas gifts that might get turned back in or used before Dec. 25:

That cheese and sausage store at the mall...that gift box might have to get opened.
The purple hooded Univ. of Portland sweatshirt for the Mrs.
The zip lock baggie containing assorted cigars; Punch, Ashton, Macanudo, el ray del mundo or whatever, and assorted handfuls of Churchill rejects.
And that kind of rounded off square bottle of brown water...aka Bushmills. (It was wrapped up but with the proper amount of squeezing, I was able to guess what brand it was. I thought about cutting the bottom open from the wrapping and sliding out the booze from within the box it was in. I would replace it with some cheaper shit that Dins would never buy, just for a giggle on Christmas day.

I mean, you can't get parched or let a good cigar dry out, mang.

I have one of those Mr Heaters I use when I go Steelhead fishing in the winter. Its the $40 variety. I love it.I hook it onto the bar b que tank and then I sit right next to it. I could imagine them not working good enough in a covered deck area though.

As far as gifts go,I usually end up witha bottle of Rum from one of my inlaws. I dont know why Rum, I never drink the stuff ever.

I hear those Dutch Ovens works well

every yr my mom gets me a black v neck sweater.

always at macys. last yr I swapped it for a crappy box grater and some even crappier steak knives

[Derron]

Fuck all you guys..

my mother in law, when she used to give gifts would give everyone Avon shit, since she sold Avon. Teenagers getting Avon shit ?? That went over real well.

She has given me Avon beer steins over the years, never drink from them but some of the specialy ones... I got $ 35 fucking dollars on eBay for them. The cable guy that hooked up my Direct TV, fucking near came in his pants when he saw the Dale Earhart stein...Dude was up to $ 75 bucks for it, but I wanted $ 125.

I hope that wasn't Dins...

I don't know which heater it is, but like the Tramp, I got one of those big ass blazing things and use it in the drift boat. Works fine.

I've got one of those.The ten inch variety(wish I was talking about something else),anyways, its kinda fun cooking with it and it does work good. Makes a nice meal when your at camp.

Just dropping bye to Rack! this line... and to say that if you buy Christmas presents on any day other than December 24th, you must be a fag.

Either that or someone with half a brain.

I've got one of those.

Do ya?

On the mornings that I am in a giving mood, I give the wife a Dutch Oven. Nothing like that morning toot to start the day.

Oh, you romantic fool.

You talking about one of these?



Or is it more like one of these?

I had this one until I took it back to Lowe's. I'm not sure I've seen the dutch oven one Derron is talking about. I need something that doesn't require a lot of work...if possible I'd need something that quick starts and puts out the heat. All Mrs. Luth does is open the sliding glass door to the deck, sits down and smokes a cig...sometimes I'll join her and have a cigar.

I think I need to start making steel on my deck...I want a fukin' burner like the one that killed Rudy's buddy. Another buddy of mine has a heater like one of those posted by Bsmack. His is around 7 feet high, which would put the top of the burner too close to my enclosed ceiling.

I've seen those gas fire pits, but the one I wanted was 1200 bucks. Maybe I should get one of those big ass things that look like a jet engine...like I've seen on the sidelines at some frozen NFL games.

That's what I've generally used for outdoor heat.

You won't need a very big one.

Of course if it was me, I'd just put on a thicker coat.

[Headhunter]

Am I the only one who finds it odd to be talking about returning Christmas gifts... In November?

Luth, either you are one slow ass mother fucker, or you just haven't latched on to the whole "Christmas" part of the gift.
