I have been working on being known n my neighborhood as "that mean old Mr. Lindley". I go outside at random intervals and yell "Get off my lawn you kids". Whether there are kids on my lawn or not. I think it's working.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-06T15:52:54-05:00
@LZ, sweet! Banjo! Reminds me of a banjo joke, what do you throw a drowing banjo player? His banjo!

@The Historian, thanks, I thought it had gone unnoticed!

I have the sheet music for Duelling Banjos

Nice. Two classic lines in that movie that all guys squrim at.

I was also predicted to be the old man on the porch yelling at kids, except, instead of a shotgun, the unanimous prediction was that I would have my axe, broadsword or spear at the ready. Basically, it seems like I've been foreseen as turning out like a medieval, and less racist version of Clint Eastwood's character from Gran Torino. Which I'm totally okay with.

BTW, in my "my kitten killed me" picture, said cat is Rowena Ravenclaw, an abandoned kitty I picked up on the roadside a few years ago; and the skeleton is Leonard (Bones) McCoy ("Dammit Jim, I'm a skeleton, not a doctor"). C&P from last night

Leonard was bought three years ago from ShopAnatomical.com when they had an end of year sale -- he was about $275, shipping included. He stands 5' 5" tall give or take, but usually just sits on my sofa, scaring off the neighborhood kids.

A survey will be sent after the KS is over and they'll ask for all that info.

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-06T16:10:07-05:00
I'm not sure if the model is still at Sears (Willis now?). I know it was decommissioned from the neon and electric display around 2000 -- which since we built it in 1985, is an impressive span.

If they are still using the model, I suppose they decided to use the local guys for repairs and upkeep, rather than to have to keep flying one of us up from St. Louis.
