• I successfully screwed up the link to Boing Boing. Woe is me. Now my cut & paste secrets are revealed. Curses!!
• I don't believe in Angle Grinder Man.
• Any relation to the infamous Monkey Man of b3ta?
• i think that by and large angle grinder man is trying to do the right thing. that said, last time i looked at his website, the pictures of him grinding in the nude creeped me out sufficiently that i choose not to re-visit the site today. (hopefully, for the rest of you, angle grinder man will have had the foresight to replace those shocking images with the nice ones of puppies and kittens that i am now envisoning, to rid my brain of the awful awful memories. oooh... kittens... so cute... )
• thanks for posting this. some friends of mine told me about him a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't find the site. i have a parking ticket, but i don't want to pay it, so maybe i will just accept the boot and wait for angle grinder man to come to the rescue. or maybe i should just pay it.
• "Speed Camera vigilantes" are scum, one and all, no matter how much gold lame they wear...
• I always admired the Shoveler.
• Angle Grinder Man, meet a real superhero: Police Man! Guess who wins?
• I never understood people who think that the government should stop enforcing the law when said laws are being broken by drivers. What's so special about drivers that make their individual needs more important than the preservation of an orderly and safe society? Illegally parked cars are a nuisances to the rest of us. Sometimes they can be dangerous. Why shouldn't the government be empowered to enforce parking laws? I have to admit, the thing that really gets my goat is way the same people who complain to me about 'evil government interference' - forcing us to stick to speed limits and park in the right place – are often the same people who complain about being accosted by the homeless, for example. 'Where's a policeman when you need him?' Maybe this stereotype is wrong in angle grinder man's case, I don't know. But I've met enough law and order libertarians to get an immediate defensive reflex.
• This guy has (unfortunately) been around for awhile now. There was some skin shots of him posing in his underwear, but I am not going to look for those photos. I will post an old BBC article.
• Whoever al is. Al.
• I would rather be rescued by Grindergirl.
• Hey! Wolof!
• What?
• Go suck an egg! *runs away*
• *wipes egg off face*
• Sully, thank you for your restraint. Ach, those shoulders. If I were running around in tight blue underwear, I'd do a lot more push-ups. Maybe he should get a Michael Keaton Batman-style molded chest plate. Or just implants, or even a padded man-bra of some sort. Superhero aesthetics are important. If you don't look good, the citizens are much less forgiving of battle aftermath: the broken water mains, the dropped supervillain gear ("Mom! Mom! Check it out! Poison-laced adamantium death shuriken! Can I keep 'em?"), the errant laser blasts.
