Too Much Forged in Fire

You might be watching too much Forged in Fire if:

  • Your kids are making a fortune selling snow cones, as there is a constant supply of chopped ice.
  • You can’t watch TV because the satellite dish is in the back yard filled with coal.
  • You walk into the kitchen to see why Sunday dinner is late, to find a $35 roast beef hanging from the ceiling, your wife wielding a knife in each hand, watching a youtube clip of Doug Marcaida.
  • The beater car in your neighbor’s backyard seems to be walking away piece by piece – first the leaf springs, then the axle …

  • Neighborhood cats are dragging cleanly sliced fish heads to someplace where the two of them can be alone.
  • Most of the trees in the backyard have been reduced to branchless poles, creating the look of an abandoned settlement.
  • Instead of calming ocean sounds to sleep by, your white noise generator produces a numbing hammer to anvil clanking, backed up by 3-part neighing & whinnying.
  • You’ve begun wearing a kilt/toolbelt combo around the house, with remotes, beer and snacks in the pockets.
  • You no longer shake hands or wave, but instead greet and acknowledge people with palms together and a nod.  Namaste.
  • You start looking for a new house … near the junkyard.
  • At bedtime you stand at the bottom of the stairs and yell, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Put your toys down children – play time is over. Return to the bathroom to brush your teeth and get ready for bed. You will have ten minutes to complete this task, starting . . . . . . . . . now!.”
  • You can’t do laundry because the washing machine is filled with quench oil.
  • The local FD has you on speed dial.
  • While working on a presentation with your team at work, you acknowledge each good idea by saying, “That will keel”.
