I was in East Berlin in 1985, as an exchange student. My host family was in Hattingen (West Germany). We went to East Berlin for the day; saw some hotties! (Or at least what a horny 17 year old boy would call hotties, lol!)
6 NFL games at 1PM today woo hooo! Bowl games yesterday were lame but the Jimmy Kimmel Bowl was nice until the late 3rd Q.
Ive had very few accidents over the decades but that one changed my perception. I never thought a nail could change trajectories by that steep an angle. We could calculate it... my hand was 32” away, second stud, on the X and 24” below on the Y on the 6’ ladder, below the 8’ wall. I was nailing the header into the ceiling/floor joists, nailer was angled away but even at a direct vector perpendicular.... the knot in the 2x4 turned and bent it sending it into my hand with enough force to sink it still. those machine shop accidents are usually really bad... most industrial accidents should never happen, of course they teach those witness to or involved life lessons. Usually with scars to remember.
You know I wrote at first that the pussy electrician couldn’t even help... then I thought, Dern is an electrics dude and he seems alright I’ve worked in all aspects of construction and on that site I had to help that same guy problem shoot his work and I’ve got a bad habit of working with live circuits, that most others knew, that guy got lit up on a live loop... I laughed a little harder then I should’ve remembering my nail hand he pussed out about...
He seems alright, but I have it on good authority he once put a 16 penny ring nail through the handle hole of a guy’s Estwing hammer into a 2x10 joist. What I hate having to do is show a nail bender how to use a square and a tape measure.
They were all the new rage when they came out and had some power... I liked the first one we had the best... the fuel explosions were way better with the hot red cans instead of the yellow soy latte shit... I remember the siding stapler was the best thing ever too... tools rock!
Plarp, your avatar was on some random post on reddit awhile back! That thing is haunting and following bbs ers around the web.... didn’t Jigmoore make it or was it you?
It’s been haunting the interwebs for about twenty years. No idea how Jig came across it (I’ll ask him and report back). I, skillfully acquired it from him. If you search YouTube for “Schfifty Five” you’ll find that same face in that video (sir not appearing in this film).
I remember him building it I’m pretty sure, it started as Sean/mongo I thought, no offense to anyone, at least I recall multiple versions up to that one... it was during the time he had an odd interaction with one of the rare female bbs ers I’m not searching for shit, nothing makes me scroll faster, besides Kenny’s bullshit posting When I saw it, it was in a reddit meme about actual people vs catfish on tinder...
Is it not Mongo that he modified to look like that? Seriously, I’m not looking for an argument, banning, or the like as Sean would say...
