Woman killed at gender reveal party

[Bay Arean]

I dunno, man... Cattle ranchers, 4th of July, anvils... yup, yer related. It’s in your DNA. :teeth

I know it's just a gag. But seriously, my kin would never drill out an anvil. Sacrilege! Whole nubba lebbel. That's just wasteful and weird. :laughing And on a holiday, who would put their beer down long enough to do such a thing. I think we fired it twice and it was over.

My dad still has a forge tray and wind-up bellows kickin around. He used to re-shape horseshoes and stuff when I was a kid. Long, long time ago. I used to play with the bellows because it sounded like a siren when you wound it fast enough. Further symptoms of a truly fun childhood compared to today's programmed penned-up kids.

It seems like forging is making a come-back though. I think anvils got hard to find for a while there but based on some of those videos, they are making em new again.

Seems like it would have been cheaper and quicker to just make acetylene bomb with a trash bag. :laughing

Fast forward to 3/4 the way.

I did something like this on accident once, but was standing just a few feet away from it. I had half of a 55g drum that I used for an outdoor firepit and had filled it with a bunch of crumpled pieces of paper, then put a bunch of gas in it. It effing exploded like a half stick of dynamite and was super disorienting and it was raining smoldering pieces of paper all over the place.

While we are on the topic of explosions, I did something dumb and fun once, (well, more than once). I was working at a tire shop on a very slow winter day and we had all the shop doors closed. We decided to get a passenger car inner tube and hook it to shop air with a clip on chuck to see how big it would get. It got WAY bigger than expected before it let loose. The boom knocked the dust off everything in the shop and made the roll up doors rattle. The rest of the guys and myself were laughing hysterically when the boss came running out to see what happened. The shop was full of dust and the air hose was still hissing away on the floor with the valve stem and a little chunk of tube left. We just got a "fucking kids" remark from him and he went back to his office. Good lesson on the power of compressed air though. Used the remote chuck a lot more after that on the questionable junk that used to come in.

essential craftsman is a badass.

if he weren't mormon, i'm pretty sure his favorite phrase would be Fuckit, i'll just make one

do not get the mor-non reference. pretty sure I hear that "son of a beech went up" at :2:02: .

Maybe he's a horticulturist. :dunno

It's also amazing that he's noting that it went.. up! :laughing

As it turned out, the most significant thing they revealed was that they were Stupid.

What color is stupid?

 

[lefty]

As long as no dogs were hurt, it's all good.

 

[Eldritch]

Was the kid named Damien?

It was all for him.

We did something at the dealership I worked at many years ago.
Remember when cars had antennas and they would attach colored balloons to each one to draw attention during a sale? We took a few back to our shop and filled them with acetylene from the welding tanks and built a little ramp with broom sticks and a partially raised hoist. A lit paper floor mat waited for the balloon to roll down on it and BOOM.
That idea was bad enough.
Once we decided to add oxygen to the mix we nearly blew the windows out of the shop.
