Snowplow driving - now that’s cool! The only thing better would be a Zamboni!

GROG Premium Member almost 14 years ago
Those kids are easily impressed, but I think my Dad would say, “Get a haircut, and get a real job”.

My personal “WOW”, when I was a kid so many years ago, was the guy who delivered the coal to our house. He was black from head to foot, and got to toss those big bags over his shoulder and dump them through the basement window into our coal bin. That’s what I wanted to do when I grew up!

The only time I remember seeing Bliss Unbound was around Halloween 2009, when she was costumed as Knowitalia.

Timmy Fretwork: here in Chicago, WE NEED YOU NOW!!!!
fritzoid Premium Member almost 14 years ago
DonVanni, he just might decide to pack his bag and ramble over there to help you out. After all, you can’t tie down a Banjo Man.
On the other hand, he may hint that he’s coming but change his mind at the last minute. After all, you can’t tie down a Banjo Man.

In kindergarten I’d daydream a lot, (they didn’t call it A.D.D. back then) and one day I way gazing out the door during story time. You see, there was a guy plowing the parking lot. I was fascinated. Reprimanded by the teacher I was told I’d have to sit by the door the rest of the day if I didn’t pay attention to the story. Well, when I was finally sat by the door, the guy on the plow waved at me on every pass. I felt I was the most important person in the world.

The supermarket across the way from the Badger’s Burrow gets plowed out by a huge John Deere end loader with a 20 foot wide snow bucket. Watching that thing work really IS a WOW! Beni is right on this one.
