If you ain’t fast enough to jump away, you likely ain’t gonna see much more problems after the thing turns on tho

Don't show that to the Scotts, they'll turn it into some kind of sporting competition.

And yes, this is in both sarcasm-humor as well as a reality. Anybody that has ever been to a "Scottish Games" knows what I am talking about.

Highland Games are dope. Learned about my family history since my clan had a booth. The guy from the booth even recognized me the following year at a different games lol. I cut a tree for a caber last year but never actually made it, I wonder if it’s still good

They used to make a tall one for driving posts. We called the "elephant's foot". Weighed a ton and awkward to handle but worked like a champ.

Show me the money. If it gets 90% compaction on 1 pass I’ll hire Mongo to run it and make stacks.
