I didn't fully appreciate the alliteration until just now.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I have literally no memory of making that post, which was only a few months ago, but might as well have been from the late Cretaceous these days.

My inclination is to percussive maintenance, but I know that that rarely works anymore.

I did that once while changing a lamp in a theatre light grid when the board operator turned on the main without looking to see if everyone was clear.

Oof. I did that once while changing an outlet in my kitchen and not checking the power correctly.

In the industry I used to work in they had a saying: if it's not grounded, it's not dead.

When I was a kid, I thought it made sense to see what happens when you stick a pair of tweezers in an outlet (answer: lotsa sparks and a blackened tweezer). My dad was an electrician, and I think my stupidity made him question keeping me under his roof.

I was in a mixed 5th/6th grade class, so we had different groups in different math units. They'd go out into the hall to go over last night's homework while the rest of the class had work time. One day we heard this huge POP out there and one of the kids came in with his hair standing on end. Apparently he had stuck a paperclip in the cap of his pen and stuck it in a socket. Great times.

One of the things I like about that is that decades later, you still remember that about this guy. And if you came upon him, that's what you'd remember. It's the hilarious cruelty of the stupid stuff we do as kids never fully being expunged. It's like an uncle or aunt never forgetting that you pissed yourself in front of them when you were six, so you're forever some kind of bladder freak. To one of The Boss' aunts, she'll forever be a sullen teen with the severe haircut and dyed jet-black hair.

Oh yeah it would absolutely be the first thing I'd bring up with him. The other would probably be that I got into martial arts because of his half-hearted bullying of me on the school bus. So I don't feel too bad about laughing at his minor electrical misfortune.

:lol: My example is a kid who on the first day of kindergarten and grade one cried when his mother dropped him off. He has his own law firm in BC now, specializing in immigration law (I just googled), and I think he's run in a federal election. But I just remember him as the kid who cried.

I'd wager he still thinks of himself that way, too. We can "grow up" as much as we want, but we never really do.
