GRAYSKULL!!!
Yep, it’s a fail: He should have pre-heated the water and then moved the “tub” off the fire…
The way it is now, it will get too hot soon!
Red neck stew. *shudders*
There goes my appetite.
.
.
For about a week.
I don’t think I can ever look at Tonka trucks the same way again.
Tonka, the toughest mighty loader?
*Cries*
There’s no crying in Tonka trucks! After all, they’re “Built for boys”!
Ahhh, life is good.
That’s what I call a good tan. His skin is just so…yummi.I can’t believe I said this. I wanna puke. barf. throw up.
Notice how clean this “tub” is?!?! Also note that one of the sides is charred. He must have used it often for bathing!!!.
Look on the bright side! At least it’s censored.
Redneck? This is from Asia, you can tell by the truck.
Oh, that’s rich. ^
Hai Rich!
It’s Russia. Moscow City Council workers’ perks, to be precise.
Did you know the term Redneck comes from Ireland? An Irishman told me that.
Tell me true, Jami. Do you believe in leprechauns?
There are stranger things in Heaven and Earth, as the bard would have Hamlet say.
Who knows? Leprechauns might exist but on a quantum plane we cannot reach.
I’m Irish! And I did not know that.
Well, that’s what the tour guide said. He claims it comes from coal miners who wore red kerchiefs.
He also said to us, “Now I don’t know if you have them in America, but we have these people we call Hillbillies….”
Interesting. I thought the origin of the name was simply the red neck that poor country people get from working in the sun all day long.
You might be a redneck if you make claims on the internet without using the internet to check your claims. The following, for example, is “redily” available from ye olde Wikipedia.com…
~~~~~~~~
Common American usage
The most common American usage, referring to the poor rural white Southerner, is probably derived from individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the hot sun. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as “poorer inhabitants of the rural districts…men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin burned red by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks”.
And there are other historical usages, including …
Scottish Covenanter usage
In Scotland in the 1640s the Covenanters rejected rule by bishops, often signing manifestos using their own blood. Some wore red cloth around their neck to signify their position, and were called rednecks.
In the Dictionary of American Regional English, the earliest American citation of the term’s use for Presbyterians is from 1830, as “a name bestowed upon the Presbyterians of Fayetteville [North Carolina]“.
National Mine Workers’ Union
The term “redneck” was also used in The West Virginia Coal Miners March (1921) or the Battle of Blair Mountain when the coal miners wore red bandannas around their necks to identify themselves as seeking the opportunity to unionize.
Irish Catholics
In northern England in the 19th century and in the U.S. in some places the term has been used in a derogatory sense to refer to Irish Catholics. The first recorded American example in the Dictionary of American Regional English is from 1929.
Who? What? When? Where? Why?
Gotta keep the pyramid.
Right story–wrong country.
Goes back to the mine organizing in the early 1900s in West Virginia when the miners fought the US Army.
Well then, let me be the first to tell you:
You’re Irish.
Apparently, to some people, construction equipment near a person in a picture means they’re a redneck.
Mislabeled, totally a win.
Besides, when it gets too hot, he can walk over naked and move it up.
Perhaps it may be a public nudity fail, but he could have easily turned that into a win by moving the bucket high enough to be out of line of sight. Then, it would have been an incredible win.
i agree this is a WIN cuz i would do the same thing lol
I’m going to have to go with epic fail. The bucket is probably made of tempered steel. It will take all kinds of beating, but I suspect that it’s a bad idea to expose it to extended direct heat. It won’t melt, but you’ll lose the benefits of the tempering. He’s probably dramatically decreasing the lifespan of that bucket.
The same thought crossed my mind, but with the water there to absorb that heat I don’t think the steel will get anywhere near hot enough to hurt the temper.
I’d say win.
WIN
You might be right. I’m not sure I’d want to risk it though.
As long as the water is there, it won’t get hot enough to hurt the temper.
This is thick steel guys, would take some serious heat to wreck the tempering, which aint gonna happen with water in it, and i think the guy sitting in it might notice the heat before that happens anyway.
This is a total win, wish i had access to large equipment like this to do as i would.
If he managed to heat the bucket enough to damage the bucket on the particle level, he’d be dead first!
LOL in order to temper steel you have to generally heat it until it’s a yellow straw like colour. That is above boiling point. You might be able to diminish the temper if he was using molten steel to heat the water but IT LOOKS LIKE A REGULAR FIRE….
Nacoran you FAIL!!!!!
It’s spelt “greyskull”, just like it always has been.
Both spellings are correct, just like it always has been.
Neither of you are big enough nerds to equal Skeletor:
totally a win
I can’t consider this as a fail. This guy is a pragmatic wise.
It’s funny though…
“a pragmatic wise”? What the hell does that mean? Use a dictionary next time. This is definitely a win by the way.
*BUKKIT!!!*
That image does indeed solve the mystery of why the bukkit has smelt so bad recently.
He must have made a doozy of a mistake.
I don’t want to see the sentence construction responsible for that!
Yeah, it would really be a blueprint for disaster.
I’m sure after the first draft the whole scheme came crashing down.
That must be a back-end loader.
Is that Dennis Hopper?
Bath tub Win!
Yep definitely a WIN
lol
What says “I am a man, and I’m a badass.” like taking a soak in a friggen’ bull dozer scoop.
WINzorz.
Question mark.
I second the badass and third the bathtub win
total win! how much manlier can you get?
Using Old Spice body wash of course.
Reply win!
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!
Why do you have to bring up Mao? because it was mentioned that this was in Asia? Way to be THAT guy or swan..
Add carrots, onions, tomatoes and some fresh herbs. Let it cook for about 2 hours and you got a great stew :p
The real fail here is his tan.
wth. didn’t mean to post it here.
You were right either way
seems like a win to me
back ho
what? he’s charging?
you don’t think he deserves any credit … for his behind payments?
Is he in arrears?
You might think not, butt when you Assess the situation you will find he cheekily runs out the back door when it’s time to pay…
That must be a back-end freeloader.
I sense this tail has come to an end.
Are you giving us the bum’s rush??
*does not want the bum’s rash — could be something terminal*
Well, hindsight is 20/20 after all.
Winter is over, a little asphalt paving couldn’t hurt.
No pavin’, no payin’ …
and it appears this crack is back in the black.
Do we derriere all his financial secrets here on the internet?
Looks like he’s indulging in a little arse-on, so maybe he’s burning those records.
Let’s add forging buttocks prescriptions to his crimes.
I think y’all have given him a bum rap!
Perhaps it’s just the fact that I look at the glass as being “half full” rather than “half empty,” but this seems to me to be an epic win for someone who doesn’t have enough money to afford a hot tub.
It’s a win regardless of how much money you have. An excavator of that size probably costs something like $100k. Considering the potential damage to the paint job, hydraulics, etc, that could be a very expensive hot tub incident. It is really badass, though.
it’s a win
This is a huge win. That guy is a genius and a hero.
If that man is a genius and a hero, then I’ve just lost faith in all humanity, and I weep for the future of civilization.
*prods BondFan*
hey miss draaaaama queen, shut up and smoke this…
Now my fears have been confirmed. You’ve just offered a cigarette or a possible illicit smokable substance to a 16 year old boy, as well as touching him. Yep, that’s me. Congrats.
Is this the guy that was hiding in the manure pit? (Escape Fail)
must be xDDD
I refused to comment on this!
I refuse to comment about you not commenting.
This sentence is not true.
This sentence is true and not true at the same time. Maybe.
One of the above posters can only speak the truth, one can only lie, and one alternates between truth and falsehood.
A rabbi, a priest and a monkey walk into a bar.
The bartender says: “Why the long face?”
An the waiter responds: “He’s doing the backstroke”.
And the CERN scientist replies: “Supercollider? I ‘ardly knew ‘er!”
Orange you glad I didn’t say “Knock, knock”?
Boy! Are my arms tired!
Take my comment … please!
SUPPLIES!
The Aristocrats!
HAHAHA that’s a Win 4 me xD
Was that you in the pic? 8o0
How is this a fail?? Did he boil himself to death?? Otherwise….this looks like a Cheap Hot-tub Win to me.
Obviously he’s going to get boiled. He’s basically sitting in a cooking pot stewing himself. Epic fail.
Is that worse than getting baked?
hahahahah……..nice one
Definitely a WIN!
This is old, I saw that in this blog but can’t remember what page
Homeless person bathtime win.
The only fail here is how dirty the water is
Fail? no. That is an ingenuity win.
awesome! but wouldn’t it be more suitable for thereifixedit?
WIN
Note to self: Don’t leave my hot tub in a construction site
nicely done body
That guy needs to start using sunblock.
Do you suppose all that tannin makes him bitter?
Ingenuity Win!!
qhere is the fail here?!?!!? this is a pure win
the A is in the Q
did an octopus get loose?
Octopi have no bones about getting out from pretty much anyqhere they like …
that’s seriously meta dude
Think this one should be in Kludges!
improvement win?
Win!
A Win, an Epic Win.
Manly ingenuity, persistence, knowledgeable command of resources, misuse of construction equipment, defiance of panty-waist safety inspectors: this is brilliant.
Dammit, people! This man is bathing in a power shovel bucket! Over a fire of construction timbers! How can you not see the Win?
This is A Tough Guy. He laughs at your petty, weakling ideas of Fail.
And enjoys his hot bath.
I agree – a win! It is about as masculine and creative as it gets ! No need for that damned safety kitemark. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was hot cooking oil he was bathing in.
Eden: “I wouldn’t be surprised if that was hot cooking oil he was bathing in.”
Cut to Marge in a pink maid’s uniform: “We’re using a blend of palm and olive oil” — He starts to stand up, but she puts her hands on his shoulders, pushing him back in — “You’re soaking in it!”
redneck hot tub
wow, whatsup with his tan??? now THATS a fail. the “tub” is a win!!!
Did anyone else notice that there’s a giant black square growth on his posterior? He needs to get that checked out ASAP!
*snorkroffle*
What is that black square hole in his back?
I’ve done it…the rocks in my bum were very difficult to dislodge…
um… that must be awkward for him to have people taking pictures of him!
but without these stupid retard people like that guy with a really weird tan, we wouldnt have these fails!!! and the world would be pretty boring.
GENIUS!
this is pure WIN
that’s nice butt its a fail
failbutt
awesome
aw, shucks
That’s a WIN
are you KIDDING?! That’s a total win. Not only does it suit the purpose, but when you want to change the water just fire up the engine and grab a new scoop! I want one for camping!
Total win.
Are you stupid or what???!!? This is not a fail, this is an Epic Win!!
I call win!!
Well, what the flip are ya doing in a place you hate? That’s just sad. Even if we are losers, at least we’re happy and doing what we enjoy.
Wow, did that get modded? That was only moderately crabby, not viciously vitriolic.
Unless I missed something….
You’re correct, and I agree, that was only mildly crabby. Besides, I like the ones where they inadvertently insult themselves.
R U Kidding? EPIC WIN.
isn’t he done yet?
that’s not asian!!
Total WIN. Shoulda been on the kludge page.
I don’t see the “fail”.
More like tan line win
[annoying teacher] This, students, is what we call a “Red Neck”. [/annoying teacher]
Before I even noticed him getting into the hot tub I noticed his spectacular tan line.
So, number 1, this is a win. Number 2, it is the most epic hot tub I’ve ever seen, and in the middle of a month long, state governed construction project, potentially sleeping in your truck or stationed at a cheap hotel on low government funds, I bet that hot tub would feel REALLY good. Number 3, No, he will not boil himself. The metal is too thick, and in order to heat the water to boiling in that size of a container, he would need a fire almost 3 times the size of the one he has, with a constant fuel supply. The wood fire he’s got going will barely produce the required heat to make the water comfortably hot enough to relax your sore muscles, and no one is there to stoke it, so it probably will burn out before long. I will agree his tan line is a bit much, but if I were working in the sun all day in that weather, I’d probably do it with my shirt off too. Ultimately, this guy wins for ingenuity.
interesting post. I was wondering about the heat factor.
Usually people put down a wood plank and step on it to avoid direct contact with the bottom of whatever metal container they are using as the hot tub. With direct contact one could get burnt if one stayed in one spot too long. It’s a devil to force the plank down into the water, but once you get a good foot hold on it, you can relax in the water.
I agree… it’s a WIN.
You really are “enlightened”.
There’s nothing quite as sad as self loathing.
Are you sure that’s a hot tub? Maybe it’s a cannibal cook-out…
This one is full of win.
Hot tub fail, or creativity win?
dose anyone think this could possibly be a good ieda? i dont think it dangourous, i mean when it gets too hot you just get out? right????????
the butt part was a fail & tha tan line. :l But the idea was a win!!1
yeah, i’m gonna have to go with Win here.
That’s a hot tub WIN
this is a win, definatly.
Does it work as a time machine?
Beat me to it. XD
Absolutely a WIN!
WIN
definitely a WIN!
I think its kind of a win. Not the naked guy, but the fire is pretty cool.
FIRE!! heheh
this is no fail, its a win!
Clearly a win.
How the F*** is this fail?!
it´s: using my boss excavator without his knowledge win!
C’mon this has to be a win! This beats by non-existent hot-tub
More like “Redneck WIN”, amirite?
This should be on ThereIFixedIt, not here.
WIN!!!
I think he’ll soon be smoking crack.
LOL WINN
You’ve already said why. All I can say is yeah… this is definitely a win. lol.
This is a creativity and knowing how to live WIN!
jeez talk bout a tan
WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN + 2 warm nuts
This looks like a tan line fail, too
ewww…look at his tan lines
Best jacuzzi ever.
I would grant this a WIN!
mobile hot tub, c’mon…
Clearly a win!
May be a hot tub fail, but a human soup win…
WIN, obviously !!!! re-label it
This is clearly Win
win
wow, he has sure got pasty buns
For me it’s a win!
He will be cooked soon.
Thats a WIN if i ever saw one!
I bet he was a boy scout…
I’d say its another FBF.
I think this is actually a win
Clearly an ingenious win. This is probably a building project out in the middle of nowhere in some god-forsaken country where even the ruling elite don’t have a reliable means of heating water.
Along comes our man who says “F*ck that, I’m having a bath!”
Anyone who calls this a Fail is clearly jealous of the guy’s lateral thinking.
No matter how hot the fire got, as long as there was water in there the steel could not get over 100 degrees C.
definitely a win
W1N.
Definite WIN, just for engineuity.
Sorry, it sounded good in my head.
This sentence is not true.
“mommy, u know dat truck i want for christmas? well, i changed my mind…”
I see nothing wrong here
Thank you for the good writeup. It in truth used to be a entertainment account it. Look complex to more delivered agreeable from you! By the way, how could we keep in touch?
