Get some perspective... [Humour!]

[traveller]

Every now and again, we all need to get some perspective (myself included). Here's a bit of lighthearted ribbing of us all from Lensrentals; enjoy:

It really does put it all into perspective. It was a funny read but sad at the same time because it's so true. I laughed at the Ken Rockbuster bit.

Perfect!

Hit the nail on the head!

 

[EvilTed]

Ken Rockbuster, LOL ;D

 

[AnselA]

Fabulous!

Great read - the guy who wrote this has been hanging around in forums like this way too long (or I hope he earns his income with it) to know all possible arguments in advance.

Ken Rockbuster, LOL ;D

Actually I like what he writes because it contradicts the general "expensive and heavy is good" assumption. Is it because of this, his family marketing or simply because he seems to have a successful site that everybody seems to hate him?

Best ever forum post

;D ;D ;D

Haha, he hit the nail on the head with that write up!

I see what you did there. AHHHH! </stewie voice>

I absolutely loved it. Just too funny.... and just too true.

and I don't even know what were talking about.

Talk about being screwed.

But you can't use Stiletto TB15SS with screws, it just won't work. Totally wrong tool for the job. What you need is the HasselHammer 5000, with the HasselHead DB40 attachment to properly drive screws.

 

[Tracy Pinto]

Totally recommended!

Definitely a good read, brought a smile to my face

I kind of wish there was an option to not let people reply to a post unless they actually own the equipment, you might get less of that sort of thing.

Hilarious satire!

Hammertime: I blew up those pictures 200%, ran them through Photoshop and measured the arctan radius of the depth of the nailheads. It’s obvious that you were torquing the hammer from right to left when using it, which makes all of the framing you did inconsequenctial and of no use to anyone. A better hammer doesn’t make up for poor technique.
Banger: A real carpenter could have done that with rusty wire and a rock. It’s not about the equipment, it’s about the carpenter.
Hammerangel2: User, don’t pay any attention to M.C., he’s an absolute Graintex fanboy and has lost all perspective.
