I thought they were banned federally, but when I checked it looks like they're still making them. The UN classifies them as dangerous goods so I figured Bite Me would have struck 'em off the can-buy list. I'll have to hit Walmart tomorrow and see if they're on the shelves. OOPs Wally World Mart is closed as a nun's thighs tomorrow.
Apparently you can still get them? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fox-Outdoor-57-595-Strike-Anywhere-Matches-3-boxes-per-pack/130657530?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1148&adid=22222222222000000000&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=s&wl2=c&wl3=10352200394&wl4=pla-1103028060075&wl5=&wl6=&wl7=&wl10=Walmart&wl11=Online&wl12=130657530_10000001205&wl14=strike+anywhere+matches&veh=sem&msclkid=01478003d98f1dae9f69e37da1fa8b80&gclsrc=ds
Yes, Bi Mart in my local area still has them, but like many things I do not think they are as good as the old ones. If they do not outlaw something, they make is half useless.
They're still listed on the Diamond website- https://www.diamonddoesitbetter.com/products/greenlight-strike-anywhere-kitchen-matches/ They also make a 'Strike on Box' match. The boxes look very similar, so you have to be sure you're getting the right one.
The 'Green' refers to the wood coming from 'sustainably managed forests".
The ones on the Walmart link above are awful. It's almost impossible to get them to light on the friggin box. Don't even try to get them to light on the inside of the burn barrel.
#1 - It's pretty obvious that's not the first time they've done it. Look at the kid's pants before he goes down, and his how quickly he stands up. I'd bet if it continued, we'd see him run around to do it again. The kid's having a blast getting muddy, dad's having a blast playing with his kid, leave them alone. Jeesh.
It's called egg candling. The dark ones contain an embryo that's about ready to hatch. The ones that glow contain an embryo that died, thus it did not develop and fill the egg.
#2. That POS needs his ass kicked at least as hard as he kicked the TV, back-handed a few times for good measure, and then forced to dig ditches with a tablespoon at a dollar an hour until all the damage is paid for. Tolerating this sort of conduct from a supposedly grown man is totally and completely unacceptable.
#1 One can only hope that kid does not grow up as stupid as his father.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness that wasn't a cactus plant.
DeleteAdjust 20 degrees right, fire for effect.
Delete#2) That guy gets too worked up watching sports on TV. Probably a Fan Duel or DraftKings subscriber that shouldn't be.
ReplyDelete#3) Earthquake living in a high-rise? Uh, no thanks, I'll keep my house in the woods thanks.
#4) I believe the duck was enjoying that game
#8) That doggo loves his Daddy. I get the same types of behavior from my three.
#6) She started out so well...
The guy in #2 was playing a video game. When he stood up he threw the game controller at the TV. A childish man acting childish.
Delete#6 I watched her run around at least 6 times!
Delete#5 Is that a match, or a mini flare? Either way, I want some.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the brand of matches in #5? I want a couple boxes of those.
ReplyDeleteI think they are UCO Titan Stormproof Matches, come in a box of 25 at REI, Amazon, etc.
DeleteLC LtC
Lifeboat matches, I think

DeleteThank you, gentlemen!
Delete#3 - This is why I hate tall buildings.
ReplyDelete#9 - I think he expected her to duck.
ReplyDelete#2: Imagine what this asshole's like on the road.
ReplyDelete#5: I miss the stick matches that you could strike on your front tooth. Damn government ruined that thrill.
#8: What a hog. They usually just go for one leg.
They don't sell strike anywhere matches anymore?
DeleteI get'em at estate sales
DeleteNope. They were banned decades ago IIRC.
DeleteSounds like Hazmat shipping costs did them in https://tinyurl.com/3vthh73f

DeleteI'm glad to stand corrected. I'll have to get some.

ReplyDelete#6, apparently they disconnected the 'fall over and the motor stops' switch
ReplyDelete2) After the controller was thrown into the screen and broke it, the rest of the kicks and slams are free. It's all stress relief after that point.
ReplyDeleteDogs, horses and kids aren't always as helpful as they think they are.
ReplyDelete#7 None of those people were running or moving at the speed the situation demanded. I just hope that nobody got washed onto the tracks and cut in two.
ReplyDeleteThe kid in #1 grew up to be the man in #2.
ReplyDelete#9, ballroom dancing is rather tricky.
ReplyDelete#8 - Good dog. At least it's not thrusting.
ReplyDelete#10. Fertile eggs?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea but that makes sense. I tried looking it up but then the beer stopped me.

Delete#4 looks like the wife got a new babysitter for her husband.

ReplyDelete#90 Jitter Kwon Do master
ReplyDelete#10 - It's called "Candling" eggs, where they used to use a lit candle as a source of light to evaluation the condition of the egg.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid, kids in my parts would be begging "do me again Daddy"!
ReplyDelete#1: They've been at it for a while I think.
ReplyDelete#2: When you bet the mortgage payment on that "sure thing" and life had other ideas.
#1: Probably an uncle.
ReplyDelete#2: Why was someone recording it? = fake reality
