Ice Crusher!!!

Take a sledgehammer and wrap an old sweater around it. This is your "shovelglove." Every week day morning, set a timer for 14 minutes. Use the shovelglove to perform shoveling, butter churning, and wood chopping motions until the timer goes off. Stop. Rest on weekends and holidays. Baffled? Intrigued? Charmed? Discuss here.

Sledgehammer-wielding thieves swipe $200K in diamonds
Associated Press
PLEASANTON, Calif. - Two sledgehammer-wielding thieves smashed a jewelry store display case and swiped more than $200,000 in engagement rings and diamonds in a brazen midday mall heist, police said.

The duo stormed the Zales jewelry store at the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton wearing black hats, heavy coats and gloves Monday morning and made off with the loot in less than a minute, Pleasanton police Detective Pat Walsh said Tuesday.

They threatened to shoot a mall security guard who chased them, but no firearm was seen, Walsh said. The men escaped in a maroon 1990s GMC Yukon.

A surveillance video captured the heist, but police did not immediately identify any suspects or make any arrests.

Investigators believe the same men are behind four similar robberies since mid-March, Walsh said.

A sledgehammer has been used in jewelry heists at stores in Davis, Stockton, Burlingame and San Francisco, he said.

"Based on their m.o. and the apparent pattern, it looks like they're very good at what they do," he said.

Though it is functional, you got to hand it to them.

I'm waiting for the day when someone tries to hold me up with a sledgehammer. "That's not a sledghammer," I'll say whipping out my miraculously concealed 20 pounder, "This is a sledgehammer."

That was great Reinhard!
You have to come up with some new move based on that scenario...
Maybe, "Crack the safe"? LOL.. :)

And thanks for the idea!
If massage doesn't work out, maybe I'll become some kind of Sledge Wielding Vigilante! :D

It's been years since Crocodile Dundee. I didn't think I'd ever hear that turn of phrase. Nice work!
