My evening class pretty much rocks this semester. They always put me in a good mood.

On Monday night, we were talking about lying and the term "white lie" came up. One student, who's a sly little joker, asked why we say "white" and were there other colors. We talked about it, there were a few jokes and we essentially all agreed that there were only "white" lies, but no other colors.

We were about to move on when that student piped up again: "Well, that's racist."

No one in the class could stop laughing for several minutes

What kind of junk?

Here's what I bought

Lots of lab glassware (making yeast cultures for brewing beer)

Old military surplus hats for the kiddo

HUGE sheets of foamcore board (I use it to make RC airplanes)

HUGE ball bearings that will make my kid the coolest kid in the world in the marble arena

Laser pen for torturing our cats and dogs

_________________________________________________________________________

Here's what I found interesting

A wine glass that holds an entire bottle of wine

Large casters with shocks

a million different kinds of tape

Endless supplies of halloween costume supplies

Creepy dolls

1:1 scale AK47 airsoft gun

WWII surplus gas masks

Russian missle guidance system (hilariously outdated)

Large medical equipment trunks

"Zombie survival kit" (first aid kit, large hammer, machete, gas mask, axe and other assorted novelties)

Rotating mannequin head with boggly eyes

Big spider wearing footy pajamas

Boxes of 5oz flasks with other peoples names engraved in them

Yo-yo with large insects incased in plastic

"pull my fniger" fart pens

and the list goes on forever.


My favorite part of this store is the labels they put on the items. There were bed pans labeled "Fetus Bathtub", the ball bearings had a sign that said "Please no inapporpriate touching of our balls", Some old German disposable motorcycle goggles labeled "Batman in a can" The Gas masks were labeled "No, we are not your Mommie" (funny for you whovians out there) There was some Kelp hand soap they labeled "Whale turds" etc etc etc. This place is awesome.

Super close up rig, and yes, that's gaffer's tape! The only way that could be more redneck is by using duck tape.

That is Duck Tape holding the end caps together, to the left; flames, of course. Paying homage to my southern roots (North Carolina).

I love junk shops.

Nice!

I think I'd use the real coupling ring enough to justify the $9 investment. it would certainly be cheaper than the cost of gaffer's tape.

 

[limr13]

Your experiment makes me want to play with the extension tubes on the K1000. And it reminds me that I need to fix up my Brownie and reverse the lens.

I can't wait to try matching up the 135 and the 24 - 5.625x magnification.
