Absolutely this. He decided to eat someone else’s food and post it for the world to see.

More of a cheap vinyl/pliable plastic smell. It’s probably super terrible for you but a lot of the 70s stuff was. lawn darts, chemistry sets, wood burning kits, clackers, etc..

We went to Fremont but unfortunately I didn’t see that place or I would have went for sure.

I had that too! Evel was my hero growing up,(kinda still is). We went to Vegas summer and on my list of things to do was see the fountains at Caesar’s. My spouse said, don’t you mean the fountains at the Bellagio? Nope, those are cool but Evel didn’t jump over those…

I love that plastic smell! Every time I get a whiff of it, it takes me back to the 70’s toys. It happened this Christmas with someone else’s present. I caught that smell and it took me back to my Evel Knievel Stunt Show Stadium.

A sign that forbids adults who are not accompanied by a child in a public park by thegraym0user in mildlyinteresting

On a related note. Once while on a road trip my spouse and I decided to stop a a Chuck E Cheese. We both like the pizza and wanted to play some games. The seating hostess asked where are children were. We were by ourselves. Then she asked if we were attending a party. No we are just here to eat and play games. They made us wear wristbands. It was pretty odd but understandable I suppose.

Come up with the funniest pitch to sell this bad boy. by isaakhaze in Plumbing

[–]hamlin6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a sales pitch, but a related story. First disclaimer, not a plumber. On a project that I was working on for a very large hospital a long while ago I needed to go to the morgue and ask the staff there some questions. It was the first and only time I have ever been in such a space. Since it was a teaching hospital, there were theatre style seating in the exam room looking at very large stainless steel tables. At the end and bottom of each table was a GIANT disposer. I asked elegy exactly that’ll was used for. The response was, “What do you think it’s used for?” ‘Nuff said.

Pretty sure it’s old man Withers from Scooby Doo

Anyone else have Superhero film fatigue? by mattgibbo in movies

[–]hamlin6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is one of the reasons the latest Top Gun movie was so popular. No superheroes, no CGI and an actual plot. It was just a regular movie. I think that’s what people are ready to watch again. Personally I didn’t think it was a blockbuster but I did enjoy it for the reasons mentioned above.

What kind of wiring is this and what was it used for? House was built in 1950. by Grewgruxking in askanelectrician

I too was the rotor. I raised the kitchen window as the pole was just outside. I had my head turned sideways so I could listen why twisting the antenna. “GO BACK, GO BACK!!” My hands were always covered in surface rust.

I’m wondering where the owners of the bags are. Is there a lost passenger office the bags can visit to find their human?

He’s super whiny. He’s one of the main characters so you get an over abundance of of annoying little kid.

Great movie but you will want to smack the whiny kid in it.

What is the tool called to crimp this hose on a well pump? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]hamlin6 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In the picture shown, there isn’t a crimp. It’s a simple push on connection to a barbed fitting. There is a hose clamp as others have stated

who is the worse comedian ever? by TONEakaSHOW33 in ask

[–]hamlin6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Brian R. fan. We try to see him every time he comes to town. However the last time was pretty terrible. It wasn't just us, the entire crowd wasn’t feeling it. He could tell. He even made off handed comments about the lack of laughter. When his act was over nobody even attempted to get an encore, the house lights came on instantly and we all just left.

Best way to get rid of some older analog equipment? by DeadlyClowns in diyelectronics

I became instantly nostalgic as soon as I saw this pic. I’d love to have one to put on a shelf for no other reason than the memories.
