Is she HAWT?

I knew this chick back in the '80's that was a welder, but all she really wanted to do was dance ballet, even though no one believed in her because she danced smuttily for $$.

Seriously....

Do you have any contacts at Tulsa Welding School? Maybe you could give them a call to see if they might have some women welder folk they could put you in touch with.

[Hamhock]

Dude, at the risk of sounding sexist (heaven forbid) I'm gonna have to tell you that chicks don't make good mechanics/welders. It has to be a chromosonal thing or something. It's just one of those skill sets that chicks ain't equipped for.

Back when I managed one of the USPS Vehicle Maintenance Facilities an old aircraft mechanic said it best. "You show me a female that can handle a 90-pound sweeney wrench and I'll let her be a mechanic."

Guys and chicks can cook. Guys and chicks can fly airplanes. Guys and chicks can drive heavy equipment. Guys and chicks can be CEO's (although I prefer a post-menopausal female if I have to work for one).

Mechanicing is a whole different deal. A guy can't breastfeed, and a chick can't mechanic.

"You show me a female that can handle a 90-pound sweeney wrench and I'll let her be a mechanic."
Pfft. It's all ball bearings these days. And no chick can adequately check a Pfetzer valve.

I know a lot that I would let try and check my Pfetzer valve...

She might be available.

Guys and chicks can cook.

This statement seems un:dean:like. Don't you realize women only belong in two places?

[soonerboomer93]

grilling and smoking = guys cooking....

see, it's pretty simple then

She might be available.They probably had a dude doing the welding since they had another chick doing the dancing.

[yermom]

is she hotter in that movie now knowing that she grows up to like chicks?

(Beef's Flash Dance nod was better :D)

Just because most of the world's master chefs happen to be men doesn't have anything to do with where women belong. And they belong in a lot more than two places. Hell man, how many positions are there in the Kama Sutra?

My cousin is a welder and supposedly a pretty good one. The first time I met her was in my father's manufacturing shop and I accidentally called her sir. She seemed quite okay with that.

What'd they say?
