For some reason this makes me wonder, when we go to digital currency, how are we going to tip strippers??

Is this how firewood is harvested? In which state?

Arkansas?

OMG! This is no BS!

When I was a teenager, my dad decided to put in a double-boxed wood furnace with vents holes on top that connected to the heating ducts in the house. It had electric fans under the stove box that moved air around the outside of the interior box and out into the ducts. Put it in the corner of our family room in the walk-out basement to "save money on the heating oil bill." Yeah right!

Buy wood furnace
Cut hole in wall for stove pipe
Buy stovepipe
Buy brick
Have mason make brick chimney on the outside of the house all the way up three stories
Strip walls in the corner and install heat shield tile
Tear up carpet in corner
Buy and install floor tile in corner
Buy chainsaw
Buy extra chains
Buy gas can, gas, two-cycle oil and bar oil
Buy log splitter
Buy gas for truck to go to the forest to cut dead trees

We spent every other weekend after sports games all summer driving into the forest, felling trees, then carry wood to truck, drive home, unload wood in pasture behind backyard, split wood, reload wood in truck, drive to house, unload wood, stack wood on patio. You handle the wood four or five times! But when you have two boys (slaves) who cares?? Got so damn hot in the family room that you could hardly stand to watch TV all winter. Lol. What a BARGAIN!

I was so sick and tired of wood heat that I put gas log fireplaces in the first two houses I built.

Yup. Grew up doing that. We burned wood exclusively. We'd log an area in the summer and go back and get the tops for the next year's firewood.

The common wisdom on wood heat is it makes you hot five times:
1- when you cut it
2 -when you split it
3 - when you load/carry it in
4 - when you burn it
5 - when you think about doing it again next year

Look up “Big dumb cups” from Saturday Night Live.

OMG this is my wife! Takes the damn thing everywhere! I swear, women don’t realize that they have saliva glands in front of and under their tongue! I asked her and she had no clue where her saliva glands are located!

In point of fact, that is not a Stanley Cup.

THIS is a Stanley Cup.
