Dinty Moore Lumbersexual Commercials

I get a big kick out of these Lumbersexual Crisis commercials. Hope I've linked to the video properly.

 

Pretty funny, but also true. I think there is a whole generation coming up that has no idea how to use a pair of channellocks, let alone a chainsaw.

 

Too funny!

 

Who knew, a lifestyle in a box!

I remember many years ago riding up to a biker bar for a beer or two. Looking around, not many vehicles, and zero bikes. I figured cool, I could have a couple beers and some lite conversation and leave. I opened the door and all the bar stools were taken. Yep, all these guys dressed in Harley garb, leathers of all sorts. They all looked like bikers! But where were their bikes? So I started asking. Most didn't own a bike, some were considering buying one, and a few had theirs either in the shop or torn down in the basement waiting on parts. The majority of them couldn't tell you the difference between a clutch plate and a primary chain let alone what they were used for on a bike.

Some rode the bus to get to the bar, others came in a car, and others walked.

So I had my couple of beers and my entertainment for the day, went out, hopped on my bike which was a kick start. Made a little noise (which attracted a bit of attention) and left. Really not my kind of biker bar! Wannabe's are everywhere!

Yep, a lifestyle in a box! Where all you need to do is dress the part.

 

Yep. The young adults these days can't fix anything besides their hair.
I've got a young neighbor who's mom.....yes, mommy finally bought him a small tool kit for xmas. 25 years old and He didn't even own a screwdriver.

He's been borrowing my push mower for 3 years. I finally dug one out of a trash can curbside, drug it home, cleaned the carb, and gave it to him.

Back to the vid.

 

Oh, lumbersexuals are real. I've warned y'all for years.

 

When I was growing up in small town Wisconsin back in the '60's, a man was admired if he was good with an axe and a gun. Maybe the new standard is a man who is good with an iPad.
Had my 17 year old nephew helping me last year - he is about 6' 3" tall. I gave him the Fiskars splitting axe and asked him to split some big ash rounds, while I continued to run the saw. The poor kid couldn't split one of those rounds to save his soul. Pretty sad... But he is good with a computer and he's a stud with video games!

 

Parents bought me a nice sized toolkit when I was 15 wasn't my birthday or Christmas, still have the tools but not the Box

 

Dinty Moore
BLECH !
Everyday these clueless sexuals evolve is another day closer to me making maximum wage. I'll do what they can't and charge phat coin doing it .

 

For two years I gave the son-in-law a chord of wood for his fireplace. Last year my daughter hinted to me for some more so I say... tell him Im cutting this weekend and he can help me. Oh the look of horror my wife and daughter had. They told me he couldn't do that kind of work and he might get hurt. So I say. Well if you AINT CUTTIN you AINT BURNIN. I was the bad guy for a couple of weeks. But hey, how you going to learn if you dont get dirt under your finger nails?

 

"Faded jeans, one roll"

Every lumberjack knows not to roll his pants up!

 

That's just sad, he was born a male right?

 

I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, cut up the firewood and burn it in the stove, man.

Doing dishes I found out will clean all that dirt out from the fingernails, makes your calluses soft though

 

I think we have Monty Python to blame for all the lumbersexuals running around:

These idiots saw the "vintage" footage and didn't realize it was satire.

 

LD, you must've deleted a post cause that one had me cracking up ! Funny stuff, but understandable.
