Tensions rise…

No word from Platinum yet on the arrival of Jeff. I’m not sure how good their communication with their shipping/recieving department may be, but I’m on pins and needles hoping he’s made it there alright. So many thoughts are running through my head…did I use enough packing peanuts…did I put enough lotion on his body to keep him moist during his journey…did I pack him enough cod pieces to survive any sort of damaging blow to his gonads…etc..etc. It’s quite a harrowing experience to say the least. Guys, you have to let me know if you got the little guy alright!

Bratgate Day 2: Yesterday when I had last talked to Tim he had only consumed one bratwurst. I was concerned, but I felt better when I overheard him on his phone telling his girlfriend to light up the grill. She later called telling him to pick up a lighter on the way home, and Tim had no money with him! My concern again shot through the roof. How was Tim going to get his requisite four brats a day if he had no way to light the grill? Tim left soon after, and I haven’t heard from him since. I can only hope and dream that this issue was resolved.

On other brat related fronts, Tim is so dedicated to bratwurst, that he no longer can even think of things costing money, he can only visualize costs in the amount brats he could buy if he wasn’t spending his money on another item. As mentioned before, he was worried about not having money to light the grill to cook some sausages, but he could only voice his disdain by saying “How am I ever going to get a lighter, those cost 3/4 a brat, and I have no brats to spare!!”. As of today, the Johnsonville is looking very strong vs. the US dollar. It is currently trading at 1.71/1. News as it arrives…
