Nice nails.
I've been around here plenty long enough that I knew, Knew! I needed to comment that the picture was from just a random Google search. Never even noticed the nails.
Nothing gets past...you people...
Nice nails.
Not young enough. Dint have Hot Wheels. But my younger brother did. I'll ask him.Relative to the preceding “switch” post, ever get your hide tanned with a piece of Hot Wheels track?
VHS rewinder.
I know its a tape rewinder but it sort of reminds me of a hot dog cooker. You know the ones that had the open spikes with 120V going through them. No fuse, no cover, no problem. This:

So, it's a Democrat?My grandmother had one of those....I think it was a gift from a bank when you opened an account there. Back in that day, banks were giving all kinds of incentives to open a savings/checking account: toaster, irons. small radios, etc....and this one time a Hot Dog Cooker. As a kid I thought it was the coolest thing. Jab the ends of the dog on the spike, close the lid and bingo---a million votes shooting through there just cooking weiners like they were in the electric chair. I got in trouble once because I used up 2 packs of dogs cooking them.....just to see them cook. No one was going to eat any--I just wanted to watch.
Even as a kid I recognized the inherent design flaw and danger in having pure voltage flowing through that thing. Somehow a kid would figure how to break or disassemble the lid and expose the prongs---then hold a kid brother or sister's fingers onto the prongs to watch them wiggle and squirm.
Nice catch....I got in a hurry. So used to referring to votes the past few years it just seemed to flow naturally.So, it's a Democrat?
And the irony of it all was the mere idea of trying to get 5-6-7 year olds to go to sleep at what was it....like 10 in the morning?? Most kids I knew at that age were spitting fire all wound up that time of day. Make it 1-2 pm and they would snooze, but 10 am or so---we all were on our mats laughing, shooting spitballs, pulling girls hair, etc you name it.....but definitely WIDE eyed awake.View attachment 58131
I remember nap time in school at least through 2nd grade. We had these flimsy mats to lay down on. Everybody would stay away from that spot on the floor where Mark threw up.
