Car guys and Steampunk

[DanStokes]

Dave - I have almost no old-timey stuff so I'm out of the running on Steampunk though I DO appreciate it greatly. About the only thing old I have is a nifty old set of screw thread taps and dies and they are EXCELLENT. I sometimes use them if I need, say, #8 threads in something hard. The wooden box they're in is a masterpiece.

does he keep them in a finely crafted, old box?

Actually it's an old shoebox duct taped together. He also keeps his old puns in the same box. I'd make a bad pun here, but but my bpb isn't working. (bpb-bad pun button). Nor is my mind working today. Some say it's never worked but what do some know...

On the subject of marbles, I never had any. And I lost all my Matchbox cars as well...

I had them and a wrist rocket... 3 unexplained bruises on my brother and that was the end of that... and yes, I'm chuckling at the thought of how that might have happened. Two words...worth it.

For me and my older brother it was horse chestnuts. You ever get hit with one of those spikey things???

Only had 1 bb gun between the 2 of us. I'd have lost, he's older than me...

hmmm.... spoken like someone who hasn't been hit with something shot from a wrist rocket... most .177 BB guns don't have anywhere near the same power as a wrist rocket.
