You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

There are some mud trucks around here that have them huge things hanging from their bumpers. I never understood it but it puts a smile on my face everytime I see it. It seems more like a novelty item, but I guess it could be functional, if you ever need pulled out by a bulldozer or something.

 That thing is huge! Would be awesome to roll around with that baby hangin off the rear!  :bling:  I have a couple military tank shackles the pin is around an inch in diameter and they might weigh 5lbs maybe.

It's simple. It's called being a...guy. We like mechanical things, things made of steel (watch Conan the Barbarian), we like gigantic front end loaders...and we like knockers!

I don't know what I'd use that shackle for...but, now that I think of it, that would make a wicked door knocker.

Big knockers have never been a problem.
