A Manly Unclogging

Written by Zipit Man

The Manly Man over at The Manly Housekeeper manned up and, manning a Zip-It, manhandled a… clog. Man, that was a lot of “mans”.

Little Blurry

Written by Zipit Man

Now this picture is a tad out of focus. Just a tad. But I think it adds a certain “quick-grab-the-camera” quality to the shot. A lot like those pictures of the Loch Ness Monster that are a little blurry. You can just hear the photographer saying “Okay, I know the shot isn’t all that great, but tell me that ain’t [...]
