Re: AxMen


I started to watch it but had to change the channel. Something about a bunch of fat rednecks cutting down trees wasn't doing it for me.

Re: AxMen


I worked in the industry for a two years from 19-20, I have never in my life worked so hard.
I didn't know any fat guys in that biz then...except the big, big boss, when he'd take the time to step out of his BMW.

Saw a thing on loggers in early america, those guys would burn 5 to 6000 calories a day before the advent of electric/gas powered equipment.

Damn, i'll have to set the tivo, it'll pick the first one up on rerun. I'll squeeze it in between Mythbusters, Dirty jobs, Modern marvels, etc.

Re: AxMen


I watched axmen last night. I think it is going to be a good show. Did you guys see the video clip of the dozer driving over the log and the operator almost geting thrown from the dozer. I dont know if that is skill or some one being stupid. But it does look like fun.

They re-run the one on the
Alaska pipeline fairly often.
That one should make him
proud.

Susan,
You've probably noticed that that men, whether they admit it or not, have ALWAYS been interested in "laying pipe"!
It's in our jeans!

I debated whether or not to post this, but someone had to do it!
