I love Savage. I love that he brings raw intellectualism to working with your hands, I always have. At high school I was above average intelligence and was shepherded to math and science but wanted to work do art, woodworking and metalworking. I was told not to do a trade, go into business etc. All of my friends went off and became carpenters, builders and skilled trades people. They have always far out performed me financially.

why do they let stupid people give career advice to kids?

Lets bust the myth Adam, is tax theft?

I wanted BMO from Adventure time..., today I did. I love it and I don't mind that it's made from acrylic paint and a Flan cardboard box. I have BMO now. Thank you Adam.
