  I predict a lot of cussing and anger after the trigger is pulled.

 April 1881. Gunman Dallas Stoudenmire has just been named marshal of El Paso. He goes to get the jail keys from Deputy Bill Johnson, who is drunk. Johnson stalls saying the keys are at his home. Stoudenmire doesn’t believe him; he grabs the deputy, turns him upside down and shakes him until the keys fall out. A couple of weeks later, Johnson tries to assassinate the new marshal—but Stoudenmire is faster, and likely more sober, and kills his opponent with several shots.   I see a possible water leak!   True craftsmanship! No way would I want to go inside that building.  Great deck building skills.

He had them do all sorts of much more extreme, yet hilarious stuff. There was even a competition on the site to see who could get a scammer to do the funniest tasks, or send them the most money.

  My buddies mid 50's midget he just finished restoring. He's going to hang it on a wall in the shop over the 914 V8 he races. All of the bits and pieces attached he made by hand. He did the paint too. I met him for breakfast this morning with the guy who sold it to him. That guy's son raced it when he was 6 or 7 and his best friend was Jeff Gordon who he raced with as young kids. The guy I had breakfast with is life long friends with the Gordon family. I asked if Jeff Gordon ever drove this car and yes! He had wrecked his midget before a race and borrowed this car.  This is the original owners '36 Ford he showed up in today. Rack and pinion, disc brakes on a Mustang II chassis with a modern V8. Extended the cab and fenders, exquisite. Both of these guys are true craftsmen. |
