Festool Junkie Banner & Stranger

[poto]

Maybe if you hung out in grocery stores instead of hardware stores you'd meet more women, Fred  I can't imagine there are too many "fillys" who are as impressed by your signature line as most of us FOGgy males...

 

[Fred West]

Poto. now you make a strange kind of sense with that there post of yours but then what the heck am I going to build in a grocery store? I don't know about you but for the most part I would rather beat my head against a door than just hang out in a grocery store.  ;D Fred

I mostly buy groceries in a grocery store. Hadn't thought of building something there. On the other hand, that might impress the fillys. Or get you arrested. Maybe you should stick to the Festool safety glasses and falling off roofs, as suggested in another post.

 

[Fred West]

Poto, I do have the Festool Safety Glasses but after very carefully inspecting them I just do not see how they will help me with the fall off the roof.  On the other hand I think that getting arrested there, possibly going to prison and getting a prison tat might be very impressive. I was thinking maybe you could try this route out for me and let me know what the fillys in your area of the country thought.  : Fred

A prison tat on my sensitive skin!?! I think not. It would ruin the aesthetic I'm trying to project.

Now a tasteful Festool tat -- that I could see. The green would match my teeth. Or something.

By the way, my wife suggests getting a puppy if you want to meet women. And for the right kind of woman, you might want to get the dog a Festool hat or safety glasses, just to see if she notices.

"Would you like to come over to see my Festools?" could be the new "Would you like to come up to see my etchings?" (You're old enough to remember that!)

My wife also suggests that we have all our FOG guys ask their sisters, unmarried women friends, etc., if they would like to meet a guy with lots of Festools, and Timmy C in his basement. All you need is one... (or in your case, four, I guess...)

...........and Timmy C in his basement. .......

Don't mind the little Irish guy with the Crocs and Cargo Shorts down stairs, he is just there to make sure my Dual Mode Sander, and Brushless Drill are working properly (with a wink and a glint in your eye).  Works like a charm!

 

[Fred West]

Poto, well in that case I am golden. I not only have Timmy C. glinting down in my basement but four dogs already. One of which is only four months old.  ;D

Not sure I want to ever meet you if the green matches your teeth. Are you from West Virginia????  : 8) No real offense meant as I love West Virginny.  Fred

Just kidding about the green teeth. They're perfectly white. Both of them.

Nope, not West Virginia (though I dated a woman who's mother was from West Virginia. You'd never have known...) I'm a Canuck, lost in the wilds of Southern California. Yep. Hockey and all that. Go Leafs.

Actually, I never played hockey - it interfered with choir practice. Seriously. But down here in SoCal I'm still the best skater at the rink. In the mall. (Who ever thought I'd be skating on a watery rink at a mall  ???).

We'll be thinking of you this weekend Fred. Good luck. PM me if you want to talk.

You wouldn't want my sister, she's nice and all, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody. However, my wife seems to always find a hot friend of hers that you have to catch at the right time before she is snatched up by another man. One of my friends asked for the hook- up, and she hooked him up! That girl was hot, and wild. She won a local bar contest three years in a row (thong thursday they called it), and was featured on a calander three years in a row. I surely can't promise you anything that good, but if you want we can see what she can do.  ;D

I resemble that remark!

After moving to NYC I met a woman from Boston and she eventually wanted to know where I was born.
(maybe there was still a taint of accent?)

When I told her Huntsville, Alabama she was shocked.

"I've met three people from Alabama and none of them seem like they're from Alabama!"

 

[Fred West]

Poto, I have been playing hockey for the last 47 years and sang in choirs in high school.  However in college I chose the hockey over the choir as it absolutely conflicted. Thank you for thoughts this weekend. Fred

 

[Fred West]

Rob as of mid June I am available. How could I turn down an offer like that??? Tell your wife to bring it on but to remember I may be a year or two older than you guys. : Fred

PS Thank you for the heads up on your sister. 

 

[Fred West]

Michael, I too am shocked as never would I have guessed that you are from Alabama. : As it turns out I was actually born in Louisiana.  Nobody ever guesses that either. Fred
