Tractor Supply Co.

I found the Tractor Supply Co. website while looking for dog medications on-line. I checked out a few things.

Are these Talking dog toys for dogs or people?

Can anyone work these locking pliers? I have been trying to figure out how to work these things for as long as I can remember. I have never been able to get them to work. And there are no instructions provided. I think that a good project would be figuring out how to use them and then sell the secret.

Everyone should own at least one wood grenade. How big are these things? I have fallen in love with this maul. I'm wondering if there is some kind of dampening in the fiberglass handle when you overshoot the log and and hit the log with the maul neck to prevent the stinging and rebound effect.

And I took a chunk out of my thigh above the knee with one of these babies. Of course, it didn't bleed much ... cauterizes the wound, too. Pure genius.

This reciprocating saw is fucking cool. It cuts through walls and shit ... a lot of fun.

CAUTION! Do not use one of these augers without gloves. This guy is making it look easy ... perhaps he should be doing this barefooted. I hope he doesn't hit a big rock and get thrown into that fencepost.

This fucking ratchet, when used to haul a car on a flatbed trailer, can pull your fingernail right off and cause massive bleeding and extreme pain. If you are not sure how to use it, give me a call. I'll tell you where not to stick your finger. This one doesn't look as dangerous, but looks can be deceiving. You know these things long to maim the unwary.

When the climbing ropes don't work in securing the refrigerator you're trying to pull up the stairs and out of the basement, you could go out and buy one of these dollies, which, I believe, was invented just last summer, too late for me to get one to move a refrigerator out of the basement. And don't panic and call the fire department when the guy trying to get the fucking refrigerator out of the fucking basement ruptures the refrigerant line and fucking freon starts leaking. Freon is non-toxic. Of course, don't sit there breathing it in to the exclusion of regular air ... you'll kill yourself.

Did you know the guy who invented freon also invented leaded gasoline? I didn't. How would you like to be known as the one man who single-handedly caused the destruction of the ozone layer? Well, maybe we should give President Bush, ever conscious of the causes of global warming, some credit, too.

Finally, I know that a raccoon camped out under the deck this winter. Once I get it flushed out (I'm calling DT to do that), I figured that I might as well keep critters out of the yard by putting up my own electric fence. You know, something to do while Stacey is on the mend. Whatever.

Reciprocating saw......now there's a word combo designed to make me weak-kneed. Ooooooh, oooooh, baby, oooooh...

(I'd suggest trying those words on Stacey sometime, although probably by now what excites her is when you say, "I've called a professional to fix/do it.")

BWAHAHAHA!

You seem to be drawn to equipment made to mutilate.

Maybe it's a good thing that the closest Tractor Supply store to you is in Muscogie, OK.

We have one here in Cowtown, but kinda pricey.
