What the hell kind of grinders are these?

Undertoad · 04-27-2013, 01:33 PM

Handheld deals, did you ever see the grinder girl on Letterman, like 10 years back?

jimhelm · 04-27-2013, 02:08 PM

Oh...like a cut off grinder. I was thinking it must be some kind of drug paraphernalia. Like to grind up your weed or heroin or something.

jimhelm · 04-27-2013, 02:08 PM

Do guys do a lot of used tool sales?

Griff · 04-27-2013, 02:11 PM

Those grinders are critical for stealing stuff...

Undertoad · 04-27-2013, 02:52 PM

We do a shit ton of used tools. It's probably the second-most sold item behind jewelry. Today I am eBaying like 20 different heavy-duty tools.

Oh and someone came in just now looking for a grinder. "Sold out, sorry" Must be grinding/stealing weather.

Take this and Grindr it!

Greeted Saturday morning with a dead groundhog out front of the shop.

They say it was upside down on Friday, with a cigarette in its mouth.

The question I always have is, is there a plan? Does someone come around and collect a dead animal body on Broad Street?

Signs point to NO, there is no plan and this thing will simply rot.

I'm not seeing any shadow, does that mean six more weeks of winter?

Crimson Ghost · 05-06-2013, 10:50 PM

Put a sign next to it.

"FREE GROUNDHOG"

lumberjim · 05-06-2013, 11:50 PM

Perhaps, "Rare Ground Hog"?

Irrelevant if you can see its shadow. Relevant is if it can see its shadow. It's dead. It can't see anything.

I put my snowpants away. It better not see its shadow.
