|True story. We had one of the hand crank generators from an old phone.
|Cat used to get on the outside window sill and lay there, and used it to
|sharpen his claws. My brother took some aluminum foil and covered the
|sill with it, and hooked up the generator!!! Man we had fun! He'd also
|get people to grab the wires, and he'd turn it so slow you could hardly
|feel it, when you got comfortable for a split second, he give it a good
|crank!

We had a shop teacher in Jr. High that would wire up the two rivets in
the drafting stool seat of students that slept in class.

You could almost hear the butt cheeks slapping together at maybe 24
Hertz!

It was a sure cure for sleepiness.....


Once in my shop drafting class, I was in the back row of drafting
tables, where there was lots of shop class ventilation, so I took a can
of contact cement and painted the whole drafting table with it. When it
set up, I rolled it into a ball because it came off of the slick
drafting table pretty easy. Didn't know what I was going to do, so I
threw it into the shop area, that thing bounced around like a SUPER
super ball!

No, Loog. I'ver gotten past that.

Well yeah. It's kinda like having a private line.

at least no one can listen in now.

Unlike the days when I was using a bull horn.

Yeah, he uses "aluminum" cans now !


And we're movin' on UP......

Hey! When I was growing up it was smoke signals!


Realy!


but only once!


My brothers and I took one of mom's clean sheets off the clothes line,
and wetted it down and put it over the burning trash barrel and
occasionally we'd take it off quickly and watch the big poof of smoke
rise, then do it again. After all, that's what happens when you watch
too many old westerns.

Like I said. it happened!

ONCE!

Sounds like fun, guess my experience would have been better if I had
known about wetting mom's towel... ;(
