Music For All Occasions.
There is new Iguana Music. I put it up for one regular reader who may have to lynch a former landlord if the landlord tries to bogart the security deposit. Because we can. You know we can. Let's lynch the landlord man!
Except in this case it is a landlord lady. But whatever. Maybe "Bitch Better Have My Money" by Easy E, AMG, and DJ Quick would have been better. But that song is not really about landlord issues.
I have Iguana Music for almost any occasion. Really. I have downloaded / ripped a bunch of crap. Really. And if I do not have it, I can probably find it.
Now maybe someone will share the secret to keeping stainless steel all nice and pretty. I have been using fresh water. There is also metal polish and even wax. But so far I have found that what is better than all that crap is to wash the stainless steel down with fresh water every time it is exposed to salt water.
And do not buy that polished stainless steel shit. Because then you have to keep it polished. And that is a pain in the ass if you have a lot of it. My boat does not have a lot of stainless steel. but it is there. The propeller, the bow rails, the grab rails on the center console and helm wind screen, the handles by the swim platform ladder, and the swim ladder. It sounds like a lot, but it really is not. However I am lazy and do not enjoy polishing metal very much.
So I prefer the matte finish. The metal is not as shiny. So this means my lazy ass can get away with not messing with it very much.
The new BBQ grill however is VERY shiny. Some asshole decided to design it that way. Probably someone in marketing. Some asshole in marketing TOO STUPID to realize that water spots and salt deposits show up better on shiny surfaces. Oh yea and then there is the heat problem. Metal with a highly polished finish gets dull when you get it hot. And BBQ grills, by default, tend to get a little hot. Here is how this decision was probably reached.
ENGINEER: Look at this great new product I just designed.
MARKETING ASSHOLE: Ohh that is neat! We will sell a bunch of them! By the way, what is it and what do you use it for?
ENGINEER: It is a BBQ grill. For boats. You use it to grill stuff. On your boat.
MARKETING ASSHOLE: Very cool. But you need to make it shiny. People like shiny things. We will sell more of them if it is shiny. Marketing research proves this.
ENGINEER: But making it shiny cause other problems. It will get dull as soon as you use it and water spots will show on it. Customers will have to keep polishing it all the time.
MANAGER: So what? Once they buy it I do not give a crap what they do or don't do with it. And marketing is right! People like shiny things. I like shiny things.
MARKETING ASSHOLE: Yes. Shiny....shiny....shiny.....
ENGINEER: I am leaving early. Is that OK?
MANAGER: shiny....shiny....shiny.....
ENGINEER: Ill take that as a yes.
What do you want to bet it went down just like that?
So yea, I need the secret of keeping stainless steel all nice and whatever. And no smart ass answers like "don't touch it" or "don't use it" or "don't get it near saltwater".
I need to take a picture of the grill. It is pimp-tastic. While it is still all nice and shiny because it has never been used or taken near saltwater. Which may happen Friday.
I wonder if I have any Iguana Music relating to this?
