Manual Labor

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What is the hardest or most strenuous work you
have ever done, physically? With your hands, i mean.
you know...manual labor?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I will start. One time I built fence. My hands were scraped to pieces.

[Kori Ellis]

I thought this thread was about Manny. :lol

[timvp]

Yesterday I played like 8 hours of basketball and then before I went to sleep, I carried up two baskets of laundry. It was damn heavy.

Real Women have it tough.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

LOL. Manny Labor...LOL

Thats pretty rough timvp. Eight hours? You must be incredibly athletic.

[OnlyOneGinobili]

Built a deck once

[timvp]

No I'm trying to get back to being athletic. Taking a couple years off didn't help matters.

Talking about manual labor and athleticism, Kori has a glory story of how she built a robot out of egg cartons. :rollin

[Zombie]

I had to walk to the fridge for a beer, does that count?

[Clandestino]

had KP duty from 5am to 10pm.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Whenever I work out as a ranch hand,
I never cease to be amazed by how harsh the sun can be.
I mean, if the earth was 1 mile closer,
or the elevation a thousand feet higher,
I always think I'd surely die.
What would I die of?
The physical self says "dehydration,"
but the mind says "deprivation."
Ranches are very desolate.
They remind me of a past time when things were bad
and a future possibility where things are worse.

lol, well if u can play 8 hours of basketball you at least got the stamina part down.

kori was a big nerd in High School, huh?

[Kori Ellis]

Kori has a glory story of how she built a robot out of egg cartons.

It's not a glory story.

I skipped a grade in elementary school and then I was in this Honors "Gifted and Talented" program with a bunch of nerds. And instead of having stuff like recess, we had to do these projects instead. So one of them was that I built a robot out of garbage (which included egg cartons). For the most part, I hated that "Gifted and Talented" program. It's just like why I don't go to Mensa meetings now -- I'm not going to sit around with a bunch of nerds and talk about video games.

As for manual labor, I don't even pump gas, so this is probably not the thread for me. But I have done a lot of heavy gardening in my life.

[Clandestino]

1. I tore out my shower to the studs. then rebuilt it. and tiled it with porcelain tile.
2. when I was a kid in the summers I would work with my family buisness(construction). I carried 2 buckets of wet cement up 3 flights of stairs in the home in the dominion.
3. I stayed awake for four straight days after driving my tank into Iraq during the persian gulf war.
4. wanting to impress a girl with my sexual prowess, I had sex with a girl 12 times in a 48 hour period.

GIG's cousin?

[Zombie]

I skipped a grade also, I was suppose to go to the 8th grade but I stayed in the 7th.

[OneSentenceResponses]

I had sex with that chick from whats eating gilbert grape.

[Zombie]

The fat ass mother?????

[Clandestino]

The fat ass mother?????

:lmao

[OneSentenceResponses]

Yes, and it took me four hours to lift her folds and find her twat.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I skipped the grade before kindergarten. Actually i guess the technical term is "starting early"


Kori you wish you were a Mensa

Clandestino i dont know what KP means

come on people....manual labor!!!
good job flash, i commend you.

[Clandestino]

Kitchen Patrol... In the Army when you have to work in the kitchen all fucking day!!! Seriously, every day I had it, 3 x total.. worst 3 days of my life...

[nacho estrada]

the classic ---- well when i was younger, " I walked to school uphill both ways in the snow everyday"

[midgetonadonkey]

The most strenuous labor I will do since 2001 will be moving all my shit from Corpus to San Antonio this weekend. Fuck I hate moving.

[B.AlMighty]

I've answered millions of emails in a single evening.

[midgetonadonkey]

Dropping 2 bills on a Uhaul is stressful enough. But still I have pack up everything, load the shit up and unload everything. I'm gonna need a 12 pack to cool me off Sunday night.

[MannyIsGod]

Working in the strawberry fields with part of my family when I was younger.

[Shelly]

Getting my checks to format correctly in Crystal Reports.

Which I am doing right now.

[Shelly]

Oh, and there were those two times that I was in actual labor....

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Oh, and there were those two times that I was in actual labor....


mmmmmm, forbidden donut...


These are really great. I will use them as inspiration.

[midgetonadonkey]

Nothing tops actual labor. I respect all chicks that go through natural child birth.

[SpursWoman]

I do lots of stuff...most I actually enjoy. But the worst thing I've ever had to do is haul 2500lbs of sand across .70 acres to level out the ground for one of those fucked up pop-up pools, then build a frame, spread it...then put up about 50ft of fencing.

When it was 300 degrees outside.


:flipoff @ that pool

[Alice]

Double shift at the diner.

50 ft of fencing is deceptively long

[Ginofan]

I'm white...manual labor is what we hire mexicans for.

[tw05baller]

[SpursWoman]

I only have about 350ft more to go. :(

[TheTruth]

I worked at a store in the mall that closed and we had to clear out the store in one night. That was a bitch!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I only have about 350ft more to go. :(


Is that your job or was it your pool?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'm interested to see Mouse's, whottttt's, and TheWriter's response to this thread.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Turn these hands to Labor.

[SpursWoman]

[Dre_7]

When I was about 13 I got this one day job workin on this farm. I do live in Wisconsin, BUT, I live in Madison, the Capital city. So I am NOT a farm boy. Not used to the work they do there. So anyways, my mom and stepdad got me that job. So this dude comes to pick up my brother and I, and this guy is a sterotypical farmer. Overalls, missing teeth (the ones that were there were either black or yellow). So he picks us up and we work ALL FREAKIN DAY in ths field. Hot as all hell. Hard azz work. Clearing out rocks and stuff. So after workin like 7 hours in the heat and dirt and crap we finally get to go. We get home, he pulls out his wallet to pay us. We are psyched! We are finally done and about to paid! Or so we thought. Dude payed us 15 dollars!! Thats all!!! 15 lousy dollars for the hardest manual labor ever!

Good Times (well not at the time, but good memories).

I will never forget that!! :lol

[The sone]

i just took a dump the size of a small pony...whats that worth?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Installing doors in all the big Hotel casinos in Reno, Nevada

[Cant_Be_Faded]

One time mookie worked for a day with Thispego's Dad. He had to build shelves and put together those desks that u can buy at Sears. He did a really shitty job and Thispego's dad tried to get out of paying him.

LoL!

[TheTruth]

[Cant_Be_Faded]

mookie was like ready to pop a cap, but pego was like nooo duuude you put them together all shittyy and stufff

I had a day job scooping ice at a convenience store, and I scrapped my knuckles so bad that i was bleeding all over the ice. They sent me home, and I only made 8 dollars.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

david i would give you a blow job after your awesome performance in Labryinth.

I think your music is ok. Never really had a chance to delve into it, but I'm sure I'd like some songs. I do like "I'm afraid of Americans"

"God is an american"

[Kori Ellis]

Kori you wish you were a Mensa

I am a member of Mensa. My IQ is 151. You don't know me.

[1369]

I've worked construction all my life, and the "toughest" job I had was one summer while I was still in high school working at a brownfield expansion of a sewer treatment plant in Roswell, New Mexico. Plenty of days in the 110 degree heat on the stupid end of a shovel.

Learned something valuable that summer. If you leave a can of "Icy Hot" in the car it will turn into a liquid. And if your "buddy" hits a bump on the road leading out of the plant while you're marveling at the liquid, it will dump into your lap.

The other gem I learned was NOT to immediately take a shower after getting back to your apartment after dumping liquified Icy Hot on your lap.

But, the toughest mental and physical labor by far was the 13 weeks at MCRD San Diego.

Baling hay. The bailing machine would pop out 2x2x3 bales which you had to stack up on the flatbed. It was not fun to do that all day in 90 degree weather in a heavy long sleeve shirt (else your arms would be a scratched up mess).

[SWC Bonfire]

I will start. One time I built fence. My hands were scraped to pieces.

:lmao

I got a good chuckle the other day when I went into Tractor Supply to get some stuff and I had to explain to their employees what a grubbing hoe was.

Needless to say, I had to go to Home Depot. They didn't even have one at Tractor supply.

You know, what GiG needs is a good summer hauling hay. :tu

I remember you complaining about that!!! :lol

[batman2883]

I'm so glad i got a good edukation so that i wud neva half to do manual labor

[Jekka]

I've done a lot of manual labor in community service projects - mostly UM ARMY and Global Routes projects. I graduated high school with more than 500 hours of community service on my resume though, so there was a lot of stuff in between those. Then I went to college and finally burned out.

[sa_butta]

I use to garden for my Grandfather before he passed away. I turned an empty grass-filled lot into a garden with tomatoes, eggplant, esparagus and squash.

I'm a brick-layer.
I lay brick.
I'm a Jehovah's Witness and we build our own buildings. I signed up to help and someone asked if I wanted to learn a skill in stead of just being extra help ( ia was always doing re-bar, or running drinks, or clean up). I said ok... they offered me wall paper and stuff like that but I wasn't into it. Then I helped out my father inlaw lay brick (he's a skilled brick layer) and decided I LOVED it. So I trained under some pros for about 10 projects, and now I'm on my own.
It is very very very hard work. But I really enjoy it. I like the feeling of building something.

Quiz for Obi.

What's "efflorescence"?

[ObiwanGinobili]

it's a powder substance on bricks that is caused by water seeping thru and evaporating.

kinda like a salt stll..... if you spread out sea water in a shallow in and let it evaporate you'd have a film of salt left behind.

We have a winner.

Careful boys, she's got skills.

I can see why you'd rather do masonry than be a rod buster.

fucking re-bar .. grrrrrr :flipoff
and I hate it when the connecting ties are too freakin short to go around even a single bar and not even the 2 your trying to tie. ....... plus it stinks.
I'd rather have my hands eaten away by mescla (even thru my gloves) then have them stink of re-bar for 2 weeks afterwards.

[tlongII]

When I was in my early twenties I worked on a demolition crew for a construction company in downtown Boston. That was brutal. I would be spitting up black shit by the end of each day.

And let me guess, you solved complex physics problems while buffing floors at your night job?
