f*** technology is awesome. Just thinking about stuff around the house and how it's made and s*** is impressive. Tell me about it. The other day I was plastering, gluing a plaster board to a stud and I thought, "I wonder what this stud is made out of?" A f***ing tree, that's what. A+ to the dude that thought to cut down a tree in order to erect a dwelling. |

Hehe, neither do I. Nah, Hogfather's reply reminded me of something my gf would say, so I gave him a stock reply from my arsenal. |

Just come out of the closet FFS "PINKY". You might as well hightlight the key words in your post. STUD, WOOD, ERECT. Come on man, what was the stud's name you where "plastering" ?

I think you have uncovered something. God damnit, I don't want to go through that whole "Am I gay?" thing again. It was hard enough the first time. |

I nominate pinky for new poster of the year. He's wholesome and informative and doesn't make anywhere near as many one word replies as I do. gg pinky |
