I would say that it is more like a multipurpose tool like a leatherman or some of the cool mini all in one bike tool kits that fit in your pocket, except you can replace the individual tools in it to be the ones you need for the work you will be doing.

You just may see the Monkey Wrench Gang in the theaters in 2010.

TC: You are for sure one of the Linux Monkey Wrench Gang. And that is a compliment. If your homestead is near a town with a library I would suggest you check out any Edward Abbey books they have.

On patriotism: "A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."

On growth: "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell."

Don't want to be your monkey wrench One more indecent accident I'd rather leave than suffer this I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends What do you do when all your enemies are friends Now and then I'll try to bend Under pressure wind up snapping in the end

One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench One more indecent accident I'd rather leave than suffer this I'll never be your monkey wrench

One last thing before I quit I never wanted any more than I could fit Into my head I still remember every single word You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was Always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench One more indecent accident I'd rather leave than suffer this I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out) Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out) Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out) Don't want to be your monkey wrench
