US Slang for workers who build steel framed skyscraper buildings. This work was often undertaken by Native Americans of the Mohawk or Iroqui tribes. Mythology has it that they have no natural fear of height, although being prepared to undertake dangerous work at low pay may well be the major factor. The 'Steel Monkey' was immortalised in a song by the British Folk Rock band 'Jethro Tull' on the Album 'Crest of a Knave'
"As the moon slips up, and the sun sets down,
Im a highrise jockey, and Im heaven-bound.
Do the workboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn.
Im a monkey puzzle and the lid is on.
Can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?
Im going to catch you anyway.
You might be right. Ill give you guesses three.
Feel me climbing up your knee.
Guess what I am. I'm a steel monkey"
Extract from 'Steel Monkey' by Jethro Tull, Lyrics by Ian Anderson

Get the Steel Magnolia mug.A british band formed in 2003. The band came together when Glen started singing on the bench outside his house on sunday morning, gaining money from the church goers. After a while, he'd earnt enough money to buy another band member, Adam. Adam thankfully knew how to play the guitar and the band was formed. Steel Groh have written many chart topping hits such as "Refugee," "Jamacia," Tubustant" and "Mina I Love You."
Their first gig was at Kidderminster Harriers football club where they managed to start a fight after the song "Jamacia" offended a drunk Jamacian. This drunkard was so enraged that he threw a half eaten ice bun onto the stage. Glen picked up the bun and started eating it - much to the audience's horror and dismay. The band left the stage a few minutes later after Adam had a phone call from his parents announcing that his tabby cat, Mr. Whiskers, had given birth.
The band now lives in a flat in a cold place, just west of that place you used to know. They manage to get from one day to another by eating the wrong foods and tuna cans.
Steel Groh's second album, "Something Quick and Witty" is now out.

Get the steel groh mug.Stela the most beautiful girl you’ll ever meet in your life. Take care of her and appreciate her because if you make the mistake of not treating her like the queen she is you’ll regret it and somebody else will. She has the most amazing taste in the world i swear she has the exact same opinions as you on almost everything. She is the most lovable and easy to love person ever. You want to be with her and around her all the time because she makes everything better. She brings good vibes all the time and there is never a dull moment between you. You never have to force a conversation it just flows so naturally as if you were soulmates and meant to be. It’s never hard to talk to her and although you have the occasional fight you two will work it out because you know a petty fight is not worth losing the absolute flurry of love you have for eachother. She has the greatest eyes you’ll ever see in your life, it is very possible you will spend days of your life just staring into her eyes and failing more and more in love every second. Her personality is exactly like yours she doesn’t take unnecessary things too serious and can joke and laugh with you which is something you cannot take for granted. i honestly could keep going and it still wouldn’t do justice to how perfect this girl is. Lastly if you see this and get any ideas that’s a shame for you because i wrote this about my stela and she is forever only going to be my stela .
i love that girl stela
