So, on hammers. Who here thinks he owns the most expensive hammer? Sledge and trim hammers excluded. I'm talking framing hammers/framing hatchets.
And while we're here, how heavy a hammer do you swing? ;)

Hammers are of limited interest to most people, even men, can't we get back to the booze and women ? The two most important things in a man's life.Quote:

And watch this sketch, 'Four Yorkshiremen', from Monty Python if you think you're tough these days...:

Isn't it interesting that your hammer is named after a woman's shoe...:idea:Quote:

It's still a bloody shoe, however you look at it, it just doesn't function well as one. A hammer does its job well though. :)
*Classic*, do you remember the song.....Quote:

boots. I don't think a woman in stillettos could move fast enough to do it. ;) ...unless you're the sort of person that keeps tripping over when zombies are chasing after you.
I would really rather nobody walked on me at all, especially if there's zombies about!
I just meant boots are made for walking, not stilettos. :) It's easy to run away from people who are wearing stilettos if you are not, unless you're drunk, or keep tripping over.
It was Boots, Janine.Quote:

can you run on cobblestones, or bumpy ground, though? ;) You'll break off the heels.
A hammer is has that manly sense of functionality and goodness about it. Rugged and does the job well. :)

And let's face it, Silas, as functional as it may be, there's just nothing attractive about your hammer :D
Personally I prefer a nice manly screwdriver.Quote:

I can't help but think of the scene in Romancing the Stone, where the lady is having trouble walking (in her stilettos,) so the guy pushes her over, yanks the shoes off and hacks off the heels with his machete. :lol: Priceless!Quote:

Hmmm...one thought comes to mind...
Hammer...Payback (Mel Gibson)...need for proper footwear...
New thought comes to mind...Celebrity Death Match
Hammer vs. Stilettos
I saw that movie. It was a riot and that scene is classic!:lol:Quote:

And just to get back onto more manly things, here's a fish.
This is a hapuku, to give it it's NZ name, better known overseas as a grouper.
Delicious, white, meaty steaks - cook 'em in tinfoil, seasoned with lemon & herbs.

Hey Fellas!
Can't you see what's happening? The women have invaded this thread and have got us talking about stilleto heels, soon it will be lipstick and hair dyes until eventually thay have taken the Bloke's thread over. Would it not be be better if we warned them off with a " No girls allowed" addition to the thread's title? Of course we want to talk about women, among other things, but do we want to put up with them talking?
