mossman Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 ok.....so, being as i am not your average 16yr old in the way of my hobbies, i was sitting with my friends in english today, and i had my pads and a wrench with me...my friend sean was sitting right next to me, and he always manages to come up with hilarious things to say, case in point when we were at lunch....i had just eaten 6 burritos, a pretzel+cheese, and a salad, he goes to me "you are inhuman mr moss....im pretty sure if you wanted to, you could just walk up to a cow and rip off a whole side of beef, eat it, and not think much of it"...so i try to bend the wrench, fail horribly(btw, the wrench in question is 5'', and says 3/8 on the side, along with DROP FORGED) i bend JB style, DO at the waist with my hands touching....so suddenly i try DO at the neck, and BOOM everything falls in to place.....well the wrench snapped very suddenly, i punched myself in the chin, and landed on my ass on the floor...plus, everyone heard the wrench snap and turned to look......luckily, i was too senseless to notice.....isnt bending wonderful?

GatorGrip Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Don't worry everyone eventually gets their TURN like you did on that wrench to get a little humility. Humility is a good thing is keeps us from getting to big for our britches, down to earth and well - human. Don't sweat it there are countless things that far exceed that little embarrassing moment. Heck breaking the wrench was probably more impressive to your classmates than bending it would have been. Keep your chin up mossman -Especially when bending a wrench!

OldGuy Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Can't be as bad as being nailed by a 60D. Most times it's knees that get wrenched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt. crushalot Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) The old wrench has seen better days. The important thing in life is not wheter we fall or not, but how we get up (recover) after a fall. If you decide to bend screwdrivers, be careful if you bend DO at the chin. Some screwdrivers will just suddenly snap and could pierce a chin or neck. At 16 I never even dreamed of bending or breaking wrenches. Best of luck with your bending.

Lyle Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Way to go Mossman, no one'll mess with you in school, or you can just snap them in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_rex Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 It seems I've been jinxed for reading this thread. I just copped a nail in the chin. I wish I had a digital camera, I have a nice bruise on my hand and chin. Lol. My right hand slid of the wrap and the nail got sent right into my chin. I don't know how my knuckle got bruised though. :P I'm just happy I didn't puncture my neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 you could just walk up to a cow and rip off a whole side of beef, eat it, and not think much of it"... Beef is so tough when you first cut it off the bone, the only way it could ever be pallitable is to grind it as hamburger. You actually have to age beef between 2 and 6 weeks before it is any good to eat. So if you rip a side o' beef off and it eat that shit, you ARE one tough bad ass! Good job on the wrench. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMunger Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I think gamidon gave himself a legit black eye bending once, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Tell that to Rocky Balboa, he tenderizes it by hand We're kind of getting off topic here, but I've noticed several things about that movie that lead me to believe the meat industry has come a LONG way in 20 or so years. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
