Another vote for OHF. Better movie than WHD, IMO. And if you enjoy it, there are more in the series (which I also found pretty entertaining).

That pucker when you almost drop a $30k knifeI finally picked up a new extra large OTF today!
That comment reminds me of the Navy SEAL Scarab I had for a while. One of the things I recall reading, was that it fired hard enough that people had dropped it because they weren't expecting it to fire that hard (and one account of someone's friend dropping it on concrete, and breaking off the tip, when that happened).That pucker when you almost drop a $30k knife
It was indeed, one of the hardest firing OTFs I've handled, and I made sure to warn people checking it out, to grip it tight (and someone still dropped it
, fortunately on carpet). Ended up selling it a while back, though.

Perfect practice makes perfect…
So I would recommend you doing 30 push ups prior to using your mouse/ keyboard, as well as either download 600GB of torrent content and/or have someone disconnect your internet when practicing to get a better feel for the cardiovascular load as well as laggy internet when trying to post at a 3pm sale.
Hope to see you there!

He’s actually an idiot and was trying to sign the crane. Supposedly has 8 years of experience but sure as hell didn’t seem like he’d ever done a crane pick. That was my fault, I had to run up and tell him to take a break

Actually . . . you can just swap "A New Hope" and "The Force Awakens" since they are the same damn movie . . .
Map to Luke = Schematic for Death Star (= MacGuffin)
BB8 = R2-D2
Maz's Cantina on Takodana = Mos Eisley Cantina where Greedo definitely did NOT shoot first
Hosnian Prime = Alderaan
Starkiller Base = The Death Star
Rey = Luke
Kylo Ren = Darth Vader
Snoke = The Emperor
Poe Dameron = Han Solo
Etc.

Anyone wants to talk about cheating, we just had a helicopter drop 6 hvacs on top of our new warehouse because a crane couldn’t reach.
