My Grandmother had one of those as late as 1971 or so. She didn't take it with her when she moved into an apartment. I also remember a fairly disturbing picture featuring a young Kitten Natividad (star of Russ Meyer films) getting "too close" to one of those contraptions. It was supposed to be funny (a *HUGE* *HUGE* pancake with an Oreo on top :D) but I was young back then and thought it was frightening :shock: .

My mama used one of those up through the late '70s, early '80s.

The saying was "it hurt worse than gettin' yer t** caught in the wringer" :lol:

It's a moist day out there, so indoor stuff to be done. I need a break anyway. Since folks will be coming here this Saturday, I'm considering making a sign that says something like "This Is A Handheld Tech-Free Zone" for the door. Hus and I are not about to sit in the living room while everybody else is busy on their phones and tablets.

First up: tub and shower cleaning! Later!

That would cost money. And just cause a ::shrug:: by the would-be boors. Unless I stated out loud that a jammer was activated on the property.

No... I think the best course is to call them out on it... in stages, ever-elevating... like I did a couple weeks ago.


ETA:
A tasteful and rather discreet 4"x6" of this, framed, in a conspicuous spot in the living room to start.

THIS JUST IN

My gal-pal casino buddy's VISA had a number of fraud attempts yesterday. She got caught up in that "Michael's" hack. So... if you've shopped at that store, keep a watch on your credit card activity. Her bank caught it... but now she has to get a new card and number and go through the crap that entails (with auto-payments, and stuff). Keep watch!!!
