#3 My wife's grandmother in Maine had one in her living room. After she passed it went to my daughter that still has it. It originally had a plastic centrifugal fan that broke off the motor shaft, so I hand-made a replacement out of aluminum flashing by using the original as a pattern. It still works!
I had one of those as a kid. The fan never failed on mine, but the return spring for the keys was made out of plastic. After about a year they started breaking. I came up with a fix using a rubber band but after awhile it simply wasn't worth the effort, so the whole thing wound up in the dump.
A few years ago, I saw one at a yard sale. I was tempted to buy it for nostalgia sake, but decided against it.
re: #17 - A woman who's wrong most of the time without getting depressed or taking it personally is the ultimate girlfriend because you won't set her off by telling her that she's wrong, over and over and over.
I like the weather girl. And Ginger Zee, the one on television now, grew up down the road from where my daughter lives. She seems to be about as big a pin head as any of the rest.
#1 Antarctica, it would melt the ice cap, send out a tsunami wiping out Australia, New Zealand, the Polynesian islands, Argentina, Peru, and most of Africa, plus India; additional bonus, it would flood the coast lines of North America and remove most of the libtards. WIN WIN!
Just a dog gone minute buster. I live in New Zealand and while it's become a WEF run socialist crapper of late it has promise once we bounce of the bottom.
One of the few things I miss about San Diego are the Mexican TV station weather girls. Do yer self a favor and jooo tube them, you'll be lad you did. Weather porn, fully dressed. Tree Mike
The last week my father was alive, he was in a really nice Houston-area hospice. My wife was amused that he watched the Mexican TV channels (soap operas during the day, weather girls in the evening) with the sound muted. He was enthralled.
Well, I think my productivity is going to be shot for the next month or two, thanks to your #3. I was curious, and found https://phil-are-go.blogspot.com Now I'm going to have to start at the beginning and peruse all of his creations. I'd better not tell my wife that he also has a store. Nor my GW dealer, for that matter. So much for a cure for cancer via my still in the woodshed! Thank you.
Alright I give up. I'm not getting #1
ReplyDeleteCould be the doomsday submarine. At any rate, a nuke the size of Africa doesn't need aiming.
DeleteIt's an Ebola bomb, it don't need Uranium-238
DeleteYou could wipe all of africa off the map with one africa-shaped bomb and end the race-wars.
DeleteImagine your nuke is a puzzle piece shaped like Africa.

The African continent would be a good start - we know they're not tossing any back at us.
