And I am sure you knew about what direction I was going to go.  It was either going to be something from the twisted mind of Gary Larson, or this gem from our childhood...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 01-21-2025

Even as a kid I never understood how Elmer couldn't see through that disguise. And since you mentioned Gary Larson I'd share today's calendar. I don't know how old these ones are, but so far this entire month I haven't seen any I've ever seen before...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 01-21-2025

As a kid I never understood that either.  But there are some scary things out there.  A few times in Mexico City, the only give-away that things weren't quite what they appear was just the slightly larger adam's apple.  Maybe Elmer's tastes weren't quite as discriminating...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 01-21-2025

I'm assuming you'd want to be just as careful in Thailand as well. Things aren't always what they seem.

RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 01-22-2025

Yeah, I have heard that about Thailand, I've just never been there...  But it is scary when there is no obvious indication...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 01-22-2025

I'm pretty happy that I don't have to worry about the dating scene anymore. It's getting more difficult to know if what you're looking at is genuine or has been swapped for parts...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 01-23-2025

So do they just use glue to reattach things?


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 01-23-2025

Probably that. Along with some double sided sticky tape and a bit of twine...

(thanks for the rabbit hole on meat gloo)


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 01-24-2025

You forgot all about the almighty duct tape!  That and a can of WD40 is in every redneck's toolbox...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 01-24-2025

I can't believe I forgot that. You can never have too many rolls of duct tape. And here's the O.G. of Canadian red necks...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 01-28-2025

Did you know that duct tape comes in a rainbow of colors?  When I was active in the SCA, we used a lot of duct tape to mark things.  Like the swords were made of rattan so you could hit someone full force, and you marked the flat of your blade with one color and the edges were with a different color.

Of course I used red for the edges....


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 01-28-2025

Of course. I would have used yellow for the sharp side - because that's the color they are when they're running away from me. Now the camouflage one appeals to me. What doesn't is the price or the amount you get on the colored rolls...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 01-29-2025

What's weird (or maybe not so) was when they first started coming out with color duct tape, the rolls were the same size as the normal silver tape, but was only a dollar or two more per roll.  But the color selection was pretty limited, I think just black, yellow, red, blue, and maybe green.  But that was 26 or 27 years ago too, so my memory of the colors is sketchy, but I do remember the price and amount of tape on the roll was pretty comparable...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 01-29-2025

It's nuts that the colored stuff runs between $4 and $8 for 10yd or 20yd rolls. Yet a standard 60yd roll goes between $5 and $9. It also drives me nuts that I can buy a fully functional duplex 15amp outlet for $.80 but for some stupid reason, the plastic outlet cover cost $3. I will never understand how goods are priced...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 01-30-2025

You must be shopping at Restoration Hardware for those gang plates.  Or you're looking at the boutique plates at the big box stores.  Lowes has single gang plates for $0.78 each, and even less if you get them in a ten-pack...
