[TheForge] Real men dont use tongs YAK

Thu Dec 4 13:55:06 2003

Was forging at an event, and a lady smith came over who wanted to make
something real quick.  Problem was that she was wearing a belly dance =
outfit
at the time.  I was polite,,,,, and loaned her my apron.  Drew a bunch =
of
extra folks to watch<G>.

Don't need much to forge in a halter top- I suspect at least half the =
guys
on the forge have bigger breasts than I do ;-) But, after the house =
fire, in
which I was caught entirely unclothed (I'd been sleeping) and the "burns =
to
the upper chest" as the newspaper phrased it, the halter top (as long as
it's made of natural fibers) does provide some protection.

My ex used to think it was sexcy to cook me Sunday breakfast while he =
was
nude. I was fine, as far as the toaster went, but by the time he fried =
the
bacon and eggs, I was a nervous wreck- was just WAITING for the fat to
spatter where it didn't need to be.

Never tried smithing nude, but then, I'm usually in a public place when =
I
smith, so I never felt it was appropriate.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."  Blacksmith's =
credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a =
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
