This would be a cooler story if a dog was involved.
 
2002-06-28 12:27:32 PM
wow no comments?
 
2002-06-28 12:27:47 PM
Excellent.

Meanwhile, shank is seen at his computer desk evaluating numbers and wallowing in his own non-manliness.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a firefighter because I thought it was the coolest job, fighting fires and saving lives. This story reaffirms my childhood belief. Way to go.
 
2002-06-28 12:30:08 PM
wow, that is just sooo 9/11.
 
2002-06-28 12:30:30 PM
Firefighters are the man. Er,.. men.
 
2002-06-28 12:30:33 PM
What can you say? Hero is very appropriate here.
 
2002-06-28 12:31:37 PM
Damn, that's cool.
 
2002-06-28 12:34:46 PM
The firefighters ran to the fire in their department-issue T-shirts, without helmets or other gear....

Hmmm... did those t-shirts happen to get wet? Mmmmm.


 
2002-06-28 12:35:22 PM
Unbefreakinlievable. That is the best story I've read in weeks. These are guys who take their jobs seriously. Firefighters and cops. I know people in both proffessions, and it's true what they say, they are never off duty. Street clothes, no equipment, and they do it anyway. That's damn cool.
 
2002-06-28 12:37:29 PM
Yeah, what else can you say? These guys ran into a burning house w/ just tee-shirts and no masks to save a woman's life. Heroes all, gentlemen. :^)
 
2002-06-28 12:38:53 PM
the best of use of the hero tag i have seen...
 
2002-06-28 12:39:09 PM
Thanks for posting that picture Otisburg. Our extremely hot receptionist just walked in while I was scrolling and saw that on my screen. Now she probably thinks I'm a dick-smoker or something.
 
2002-06-28 12:39:32 PM
Otisburg: Thanks for the eye candy...

REAL AMERICAN HEROES...
 
2002-06-28 12:40:50 PM
MayoBoy... you now need to prove your manliness to the receptionist. Be sure to FINISH the "job" or you may get nailed with a sexual harassment complaint.
 
2002-06-28 12:41:44 PM
Aunt - will you write a note to my wife explaining that you said it's OK? I'm sure she'd go along with it if I had a note.
 
2002-06-28 12:42:47 PM
as a wee lad, I always wanted to be a firefighter. I joined a volunteer outfit, learned all the basics, got certified, learned more about water pressure and diesel engines than I wanted to know, and then the roof of a house fell in on me as we were trying to exit.
To hell with that. Firefighers rock. I, alas, am a wimp.
 
2002-06-28 12:45:16 PM
That's a nifty story. Firefighters totally kick ass.
 
2002-06-28 12:45:27 PM
In that case, why don't you have your wife tell the receptionist how manly/studly you are and that she is perpetually bow-legged because of your manliness!
 
2002-06-28 12:45:59 PM
I want to be cool too!!
Can i be a fireman?
I think i can..
I think i can..
I think i can..
(clicks heals three times)
 
2002-06-28 12:47:02 PM
Die2dream: I don't think you are a fireman, yet. You were clicking the wrong "heals" - s/b "heels". Try it again, it may work...
 
2002-06-28 12:48:08 PM
Where the hell's the fun in that? My wife has since called on the phone and the first thing she said was "I hear you have a new internet hobby now"...

All that's going to accomplish is to turn you into a stoker on a Thomas the Tank episode.

(CLICKS HEELS THREE TIMES)
Die feels really stupid thank you!
 
2002-06-28 12:51:49 PM
OK, MayoBoy, bring on the address, and I will write your wife a note explaining that you were a "bad, bad boy". I thought you would enjoy the fact that your wife has told everyone she is perpetually bowlegged because of your MANLINESS!!!
 
2002-06-28 12:52:46 PM
Die, we still fark you... So, how's your "hose"?
 
2002-06-28 12:54:22 PM
Mayo: If you're married, what do you care what the hottie receptionist thinks of you? :^)
 
2002-06-28 12:57:19 PM
DHWalker Fragile male ego and all.
 
2002-06-28 01:09:31 PM
Mayo: Don't be ashamed of your interest in the hot receptionst. I'm not. I think she may dig me too. I hope my husband is okay with that...
 
2002-06-28 01:09:48 PM
Uhm, so, what?
 
2002-06-28 01:11:31 PM
Mayo: Gotcha. Fortunately for me, the hottie receptionists don't even notice me, so that's not something I have to worry about. :^}
 
2002-06-28 01:11:31 PM
Yummy If you keep those comments up, you'll be responsible for many dead kittens.
 
2002-06-28 01:12:33 PM
DHWalker I'm sure she doesn't notice me either but things always work differently in my little mind movies.
 
2002-06-28 01:18:50 PM
Mayo: I'm not sure I follow. I'm a new Farkette and while I've seen the kitty many times *cough* I don't understand the 'dead' reference...
 
2002-06-28 01:19:47 PM
Don't fark with the Fire department:

 
2002-06-28 01:21:05 PM
VERY COOL! Go Maryland firefighters!
 
2002-06-28 01:23:10 PM
Yummy

1) Everytime someone masturbates, God kills a kitten.

2) Farkers are very turned on by girl/girl action

3) Girl + girl = many dead kittens
 
2002-06-28 01:27:33 PM
Real heroes :)

On a side note, why the hell was grandma locked in the basement?

She probably soiled herself again. We do the same thing.
 
2002-06-28 01:35:38 PM
Firefighters could kick both ninja's and pirate's asses......REAL ULTIMATE POWER!
 
2002-06-28 01:35:39 PM
MayoThanks for the education. Isn't everyone turned on by girls? Girls are swell. And we smell nice. Unless we're Italian, apparently.
 
2002-06-28 01:36:31 PM
but i dont know about ghosts though...........

Yummy You do realize that many Farkers are going to deluge you with a request to post your picture now. (except for the Italian ones who are scrubbing up)

Don't fark with the Fire department:


There's another one around of FDNY Ladder 138 with one of it's out-riggers planted right throung some asshat's trunk. I can't find it right now.

Bleeorg: FANTASTIC picture. The fact that it's some Beemer owner who's self-centered-ly parked in front of the hydrant doesn't surprise me, for some reason. :^)

Yummy: When I first came to Fark, I also thought the kitty reference was, well, a kitty reference. It's in fact much funnier - someone will occasionally post the "whenever you masturbate, God kills a kitten" PSA ad. The plaintive look on the face of the kitten in the ad is worth the price of admission alone. :^) :^)
 
2002-06-28 01:55:26 PM
Great pic, Bleeorg
 
2002-06-28 02:08:40 PM
for the record, i like Yummy!

p.s. - Yummy, where's your pic?
