Afternoon, this is the Trench, the Murtaugh to your Riggs

Here's what we drummed up for ya:

• Fireball whiskey gives Bernie Madoff competition

• Googles AI sucks

• Rig hand makes $180k??

Now a finger lickin' good meme:

Over the years, can’t even tell you how many guys I’ve worked with that have themselves a nub or 2. I wish I could send this to them because I know that laugh would make their big ol belly hurt. Fact of the matter is each and everyone is a soldier. Did they call the guy on the billboards? Hell no, they kept trucking. It’s almost like a badge of honor, because it's pretty damn clear it didn’t come from Susan’s stapler or the copy room. It came from the trenches, so cheers.

PS If you are one of these honorable hands, let me hear your story…

Lets put it this way, if Oil rigging was a super hero it would undoubtedly be Batman.

Hear me out:

• Work at all hours of the night

• depend on insanely expensive gadgets

• always covered in black

• and isn't for everyone.

So without further ado I present to you Oil Rig Floorhand:

Brunt Workwear  is the type of brand you gotta check out

I didn't have boots on my first day on the job. Went to buy some that night... turns out, if you don't have enough cash, they accept livers and kidneys.

Good thing I got two.

Brunt solves this problem by making affordable work boots that are actually more comfy than the other guys.

Don't believe me? Just ask my new pup how comfortable they are:
