    Incredible work guys!!! absolutely somethin from nothin.

    I liked the comment about making a car out of bondo :) definitely not the case here but anyway, back when I was starting out right out of HS I was doing bodywork. I had some crazy long hair that was a PITA in the shop and one of the guys called me bondo jovi cuz he hated how much I liked to lay on the hod.
    Hope you like this...I was horsing around with some artwork recently and came up with this:

    Complainin is just being too proud to ask for help.
    here's my example (pardon the language)

    Wimmins, they say "could you come here and help me with this" and the girls run over and they talk about it...

    Men say "god freakin dill smackin felchbag get the fricking bingo ticket the frapp in the hole you stupid bolt. somn' bitchin dog nutted tranny is freaking gay cmon fuitbasket stay put and be done with it" then the fellas just jump in mother fuckering all over the place and after a few f-bombs it's done!!!
