Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I tried to take a picture of Axle playing with his rubber chicken but as soon as he sees the camera he drops it and leaves. I guess he doesn't like his picture taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Alex does look like someone might get his rubber chicken alright. Does it have a squeak? Now, as promised, "Ruben and the Rubber Roni." I have a friend I met in Elementary school name of Ruben and one thing he was know for was a high energy metabolism. Until I moved to Alaska in 72 he could eat two, jumbo beef and been combo deluxe burritos faster than any of us could eat a couple tacos. Ruben lived about a block down the road from us and heck most of my friends lived within a mile or so. We were always eating at each other's house. One Saturday we were at out house so it was my job to make lunch. I made a giant size batch of mac and cheese. Seriously, we were teen agers, 17 or so and each of us could eat a package of mac and cheese apiece, EASY. A few days earlier I'd cut up some surgical tubing with scissors into macaroni size pieces. I'd coiled a length in a large soup bowl to measure before cutting, a generous Ruben size serving. That afternoon I mixed the Rubber Roni into a large helping of cheese sauce. I didn't notice but some got mixed in with the mac and cheese the rest of us were having. Rod, Marty, Jim, Ralph and I, ate lunch while Ruben's power shoveled his and I waited for the reaction. Part way through, Rod I think made a face and spit a piece of tubing into his spoon and gave me a LOOK. We all started eating more carefully and sure enough all of us had Rubber Roni in our mac and cheese. Ruben finished his as fast as he ate anything and never noticed a thing except what was left over n the pot and finished that off too at our nods. Just another typical lunch with Ruben. Ahhhh, good times. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 It's more of a squawk than a squeak, pretty annoying when I'm taking a nap or reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Jerry, that reminds me of a guy I watched eat a cube of pool que chalk. I can't tell that story here tho. Iron dragon, I recall seeing Axle, his scrap metal counterpart and an unhappy squirrel on here somewhere before.... Good ol Axle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I hear you Scott, I have stories I couldn't tell here too. <shudder> So, does Axle squawk his chicken slowly or quickly? When Deb and I got married we adopted a large indeterminate shaggy shepherd mix called Isaac. His favorite toy was a orange tiger with a squeaker. A loud squeaker, it was a large toy. He was a great dog and when we told him to stop squeak squeak squeak squeaking the toy he'd stop but pout. We didn't have to yell or punish him but he didn't like not getting to squeak his tiger. Soooo, he'd start squeaking it, we'd tell him to stop and he'd sit in front of us with it in his mouth with a hang dog expression and when that didn't work after a couple tries he'd sit there with it in his mouth and s l o w l y squeeze it and after a few seconds s l o w l y relax wait a few seconds and repeat. sqeeeeeeeeek . . . squawwwwwwwk until we took it away from him. I loved that dog, a real character and scary smart. Excellent back up. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Just to show progress, I decided to make a larger than life, entire frankenstien sculpture. I found an old wheel barrow castaway for the body. I figure I'll cut the rusted section out to show it's innards.... I'm talking to a contractor about a shop but shortage this and that, I'm on a long waiting list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Turn it the other way up and it could be a pregnant Frankenbarrow. I was thinking pot bellied but that would work better with a pot. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott NC Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 I have some 4" tubing I got from work that I was going to use to make work benches, but it's got some bent sections and is rusty. I'll buy new for the benches if I can't scrounge any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Happy to help! I assume you know about the natural nuclear reactor that was in Africa a couple of billion years ago---predates the Chicago Squash Court by a bit...why they tacked on "artificial" to that one...

George N. M. Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 When the natural nuclear reaction in Africa was discovered it pretty well shot down the argument that nuclear power is "unnatural" because it produces elements and isotopes that do no occur in nature. I had heard that nuclear power was "ungodly" because of that. That said, I don't think I would have wanted to be close to an outcrop that "hot" when it was actually working.

Frosty Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 About natural nuclear reactors, the one in Africa was the only one known that was close enough to the surface to be observed and studied. Nuclear reaction is what is keeping Earth's core molten. No? My answer to the nuclear reactors are unnatural nonsense is, "Then explain the sun." Frosty The Lucky.
