There was a fiddle player/busker in Ohio and MI who did something similar. He ripped out the front passenger seat and installed a wood stove and chimney in order to convert his mini-van into a mobile (literally) home. I wish I could find a picture to prove it. He got stopped a lot by cops, especially if he was baking potatoes and driving. Technically there was nothing illegal about it, though.

Holy wows, that IS creepy. The original movie is creeeepy (with extra "e"s), but that classroom of kids in this? 20 times as scary as that Nick Cage fiasco.
Austin, cool! Most people don't know that this is a form of found poetry that has been used for a while that's also called "cross-out text." There are even published volumes of this sort of work from poets like Mary Ruefle (http://www.wavepoetry.com/catalog/47-a-little-white-shadow). My husband is a poet and is using this form to create a manuscript based on a 1984 issue of _Marriage and Family Sociology_. It yields some interesting results sometimes. Thanks for sharing this form with the world! Cool post, Farrier.
An early example of one of the, three, no four, no five, no SIX tools, of the Tribunal for the Holy Office of the Inquisition. (Other tools included, fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, a fanatical devotion to the pope, and nice red uniforms).
The Holy Occular Armament for Substatiative Divine Spark Detection (No acronym! Acronyms are the devil's shortcut!) was created to see into the darkness of parishoner's souls. If there were any detectable spark of the divine in their hideously guilty souls they would be burnt at the stake and sent to their maker. If, on the other hand, there was nothing but darkness (or if they were a woman, someone who could read, or were heavier than a duck) they would be burnt at the stake and sent to their maker.
It is remarkable that, although the use of The Holy Occular Armament for Substatiative Divine Spark Detection was quite popular among inquisitors, no one ever expected them.

NO WAY, that takes all the fun out of it. Plus people will just use it wrong and then get confused when people think they're not serious. It might actually create more problems than it solves.
That's the original pull chain that coined the term, "pulling your chain." It is housed in the National Museum of American Idioms and shares a prominent display case with a replica of the original pulled leg (belonging to one Eustace C. Ferdinander) and an interactive finger pulling exhibit.
Early model Ronco Stud Setter, c. 1920s. Be the berries as you doll up anything and everything, and how, from dresses to garters to shoes. Make your glad rags gladder! Make your chassis copacetic! Be as it as Clara Bow! You'll never be a flat tire with Ronco's Stud Setter. It's the cat's pajamas! Every keen dame has to have one, only $2.95 at Sears and Ro.
I really wish we could post audio here, because this needs a kick-ass Judy Garland impression and I happen to do a kick-ass Judy Garland impression. Love is a Biohazard, Ash Grey, L
