Last name + first initial. Pretty exciting huh :lol:

A day in the not so distant past, I was sitting in my apartment at college, and came upon the forum. It's been all downhill from there. It's not quite appropriate any longer, as it should be boredatwerk.

Many moons ago there were two Matt's. One was short and skinny. The other was tall and thick around the middle... They were Little Matt and Big Matt. Not a force to reckon with.

I am a plumber by trade.Took mine from the periodic table. PB is the chemical symbol for lead. Hence pbburner-----lead burner. It fit at the time. But we can't use lead anymore for potable water. Health thingy I guess. The only lead we use anymore is for cast iron poured joints. I can't tell you the last time I poured a lead joint. Now I own a small plumbing co. I cant tell you the last time I did any real work either. And man I can tell I don't do much, my son busts my a$$ in b-ball anymore. No cardio left at all.
Funny story about my apprentice-ship days. I was a 2 yr. apprentice. The co. I worked for had a real pain of a forman. This day I was working for him, we were getting some drains under a road for that we had closed down. A very nice hot August day. Everyone is working in shorts and no shirts. So he is pushing everyone to get this job done. Now when you set up the melting pot for the lead it stays where you start. The further down the line you get with the pipe the further you get away from the pot. I am the runner this day. I get the lead in a laddle and take it to him. So now we are on down the line and it takes longer and longer to get it to him. He starts screaming that I am taking to long. Being a 21 yr old smart a$$ like most are at that age, I decide to get a laddle of ice water, to take to him. Only to act like I trip when I get there. I douse him with a laddle of ice water. Lets just say after he realized he wasn't burnt up, and I out ran him to the truck, I didn't have a job the next day. I was sitting back on the bench at the union hall. It took about a week to be placed again but it was all worth it. I still get a laugh when I think back on that. He deserved it.

Well, my name is Zack, but just about every Zack I know spells it with an H, not a K, and so everyone would spell my name ZACH. Personally, I don't like all that much because Im so usedto the way I spell it. I finally got annoyed one day and ever since then everything I have is itszackwithak...meaning:

its-zack-with-a-k


So itszackwithak was born. 8)

My brothers name is Zachary and he spells Zack with a "K" also. You know whats funny is we both hopped onto this site about the same time and someone said something like, "Welcome Zack and Matt" and it was just weird...

I thought it meant, "It's Zack Withak" like Withak was your last name. HAHA!

Cheers!
