Don’t plug that in while it’s wet!

Good morning, Crew!

I remember as a kid around 1979 watching Lou “The Incredible Hulk” Ferrigno compete in “The World’s Strongest Man” competition on ABC. One of the events was a fifty-yard timed dash carrying a refrigerator on the competitor’s back. That blew my mind as a kid. Looking back now, I wonder how many of the competitors were taking “supplements,” because they were rampant during those years. I grew into a rather strong man but could never carry a fridge by myself. Easily move one. Yes, but I could never do what those guys were doing.

Nate would make a great salesman. I would bet that he could sell refrigerators to beachcombers.

That boy’s got cankles !

Not only can Nate carry a fridge, but the third panel shows he can do it one handed! Of course it’s probably a little lighter in the third panel after Nate has gotten done with his snack.

Good morning Crew!

Where’s my Captain?

Hey, where are the comments for Ramirez and Lester?!!! That feature seems to have been deleted! anyone notice?

Nate’s not planning on eating the fridge also, is he?

Nate! That’s not how you make a sand-wich!

Carrying the fridge around probably burns off a few calories.

I guess the swimming and the lifting balance out the eating, huh, Nate? Well, most of it. Carry on, good sir.

’Evening, Crew.
