That afternoon Hank came over to help Jim work on this car. He thought Jim was overcompensating with the enormous wrench but he couldn't say anything, Jim was his best pal. They shared a pack of smokes and talked about old times. Hank wanted to tell him the truth, that wearing his wife's handsewn Vogue ensembles made him no less of a man but he knew Jim would never listen.
Together, they lifted the wrench and tightened lug-nuts well into the evening, their manhood securely intact.
A "pack of smokes?"
Oh no, THAT is a hand rolled joint!

Are we sure that's not a shufflepuck cue?
Posted by: Jess | July 11, 2005 at 09:24 PM
I agree: we got some 420 action there.

Would the joint make any more sense if it WAS a shuffleboard cue? Just wondering. ;)

I think Drew Carey is regretting having these two on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" esp. when they held up production by just staring at their items during the Props round. Where's the witty banter, the snappy dialogue, the innuendos?
Never, ever pull people at random from the audience. It's always death.

I wonder if Grandpa Potter, Jim, Dan, and Ted still wear these fabulous shirts?? Jim and Ted's beige corduroy shirts were surely a hit at the 12th Annual Hay Toss and Pig Greasing. I fear Grandpa and Dan might have been upstaged in their gold frocks, resentful and quietly plotting revenge in a dark corner...

I think a joint would make shuffleboard way more fun!
I love that someone actually made those patters for Grandpa, Jim, Ted and Dan. I bet Jim loved the beige corduroy.

grandpa got gold! I wonder if it's gold lame?
Any man who will wear shirts made by his wife (like my husband) is 100% manly man!

That's definitely a joint - look at the way he's holding it. He's all "put down that stupid shufflepuck and take a hit, man. I'll go score some Cheetos."
Your site is too funny :)

Okay, I'm unofficially making a retraction to read: "Jim and Hank fired up a doobie and talked about old times."
And apparently between tokes they played shuffleboard...?
Am I the only person in the world unfamiliar with shuffleboard cues? As soon as my husband saw this he was all, "You know that's a shuffleboard cue, right?"
Um. No. I didn't.
Is shuffleboard the new Bocce or something? Everyone but me is familiar with the game?

It's soooo much funnier to think of it as a giant wrench than a shuffleboard thingy. When it was a giant wrench it made me snort. When it became a shuffleboard thingy I just smiled.
Posted by: Barb | July 12, 2005 at 06:10 PM
it's definitely a giant wrench. I had no idea shuffleboard HAD cues. (isn't that pool?)

I like how wrench man has two shirts with collars on them. Wow!
Posted by: Lil D | July 13, 2005 at 01:28 PM
I thought roller derby was the new Bocce.

Actually, Jim doesn't have two shirts on, that's his ascot showing through. He does dress for automotive success. I think Hank is wondering if he can make a good swap - his doobie for Jim's enormous....wrench.
Stay tuned....

I never saw a shuffleboard cue that looked like that.

Caption: "THIS'll tighten your nuts, Hank! That's it...just inhale..."

Well, girls, I don't quite know what to say about a woman who stitches up a snappy little number like this, carries out the look with an oh-so-heterosexual ascot, and then withdraws her support for her man by failing to provide a pocket square! Personally, when my man goes out to get stoned and fiddle with his nuts, I like to make sure that his ensemble is unimpeachably up-to-the-minute!

Anybody else catch monkey-wrench gang member's resemblance to Fred from Scoobie Doo?
Posted by: mjae | July 18, 2005 at 01:14 PM
I think it is one of those culty staffs from say maybe the Masons...
Posted by: Christine | August 03, 2005 at 01:47 PM
Well, what's at the bottom of the thing? It looks like it could make a serviceable floor lamp.
Or is that just me?

Come on Hank quit hogging the REEFER. I want to see that wrench get bigger too!! Buy the way can you pass the CHIPS??
Posted by: Mike | September 29, 2005 at 10:33 PM
You know what they say about men with huge wrenches....or codpieces.
Posted by: Kitty | February 22, 2007 at 11:18 PM
Jim does look like Fred from Scooby Doo. Is that an ascot I see?
Also, where does one purchase a ridiculously over-sized, solid gold, half dissappearing wrench?
