Shouldn't this have just been added to the crip dancing thread?

"Creep Speed". That's what I'm gonna call my new slow-core drone rock band.

I was just thinking "bottler's tilt" would be a good band name, too....

Wow, that's awesome!

Fun fact: a forklift was the first vehicle I ever drove, at age 3 sitting on my father's lap in his warehouse. Talk about awesome!

Yeah, me too. Cranking the suicide knob as fast as I could. Wheeling around the warehouse, down one row, insane turn, and up another row.

Then one day, on the turn, the forks ripped through a pallet of stacked cement bags, what a mess. I had to dial it back several clicks after that.

I saw a guy get his right foot all but torn off by a forklift tine. It was one of the more brutal things I've seen. I shit my pants just thinking about it, here.
