Now there’s a wild idea. My first thought was that it must be loud as hell with the revolving cylinder right by your ear. Though this review mentions there is some novel mechanism that closes the gap between the cartridge and barrel. Now I really want to see one in person to find out how that works.
That’s a great idea! I should start celebrating my town’s founding day. Looks like April 28 is going to be a party next year!
I have an opposite story. One of my kids went to a school that had a large and diverse immigrant population. There were something like 40 different languages spoken by the various families. The trouble was, every week somebody had a holiday from their home country that they wanted to share and celebrate. Students were constantly bringing in sweet treats and gifts and other things for their classmates. It became a huge distraction for everyone, and the school actually had to ask parents to stop celebrating so many holidays.
When I was in college we once threw a Martin Luther King Jr. Day Eve party. Formal attire, sparkling wine, and we had a countdown to midnight when everyone shouted, “Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day!”
Now my family sometimes celebrates half birthdays, or quarter-birthdays. We also make up birthdays for stuffed animals. Any excuse for a party.
Can we get a NSFW tag in here? I like oglaf and all, but it’s something I only want on my screen in certain settings.
