The GOOD:
My mower started on the first pull.
The grass has now been mowed.

The BAD:
Now I swear I do NOT have a penis obsession,
but this is the "Gas-Can-On-Viagra".

It was the only model available at our local hardware store ($17.98).

There are so many things WRONG with this "new" spout...
1) the red tip-closure is almost impossible to unscrew
2) the "pressure-relief" action is difficult and awkward
3) the spout has to be held to allow the gas to flow
4) the spout does not bend to allow the can to be positioned
5) the closure at tip sprays gas in a fan, rather than flowing smoothly
6) when the spout is stored inside the can, gas will leak out the fitting.

For me, it seemed that every movement or action I tried ended up
with more gas spreading on the spout, the can, the ground, and my hands. :thepain:

I may accidentally leave it in the yard when I follow xoB's suggestion.

About a year ago Popdigr got one of those new-fangled 'better' gas cans.

Piece. Of. Shit.

It went away.




ETA: $18. Yee. Ikes.

New and improved means they've come up with a design which will fail sooner or will frustrate you into vengeful acts destroying the can. Either way, the chance to sell you a replacement sooner, bolsters the bottom line.
But, you say, I wouldn't buy from them again.
How would you know, by then they have a new and improved design, new packaging, maybe even a new business name. Besides, you wouldn't remember the name of the last company unless you have a vengeful hate deep in your heart.
If so, may god have mercy on your soul.

It's new federal regulations, guys. They all suck now.

I too own one of these.

It is time to get creative with the required regulations and turn that stupid ass thing int a damn 2.5 gallon plastic container with a spout. Start with a large pair of pliers and rip that crap off the top. Take the spring and see how far you can fling it... ;)

Yeah. Nothing creepy or sinister about that at all.

Clodfobble 03-11-2015 06:56 PM

I'm stating on the record right here and now, that's a budding April Fool's joke. No fucking way is that real.

Grav, I now have serious issues with you. AGAIN.
I read your toot-flute post in a public place.
In a library FFS.

I honestly, literally, had to put my hand across my mouth to stop laughing.

Please to warn poor people who access internet in public.

Carruthers 03-12-2015 04:47 AM

Trump it.

Gravdigr 03-12-2015 03:27 PM

Trump it - Hah!

Build a better monocle, and the World will beat a path to your door.

BigV 03-17-2015 11:00 AM

The comments are almost as entertaining as the project itself. I feel myself reaching toward my wallet...

eta: Watch the promotional video!

Remember Gentlemen, if you want to join your lady in the private box "at the opera", you cannot come unprepared.

It is now mine! (Happy Dance)

A tampon that you can share with a friend, a very close friend, is a product that probably should not exist.

Actually, it's two tampons. But, they're connected by one string.

:3_eyes:...WTF?...:3_eyes:

Two holes. ;)

LumiLor™ Electroluminescent Coating System
Turn you table into a lamp, your helmet into a light bulb, or your pogo stick into a night terror.
The bad news - it must be electrically powered.
The good news - you can switch it on and off.

They claim they can coat...
Quote:

Metal Applications: Metals (primed first to insulate them electrically) make a great surface to turn into an EL lamp.

Plastic Applications: LumiLor™ can be applied to plastics in an unlimited variety of shapes and sizes.

Vinyl Application: LumiLor™ can be applied to vinyl and can flex up to 180º.

Wood Applications: LumiLor can be applied to wood as see in the image of a guitar body. Imagine a white hand rail down your stairs illuminating at night as you approach, lighting your way in the dark.

Glass Application: Glass is now a practical substrate with plenty of potential.

I like that.

Clodfobble 08-27-2015 01:57 PM

That's a Tron cosplay just waiting to happen.

Gravdigr 08-27-2015 03:22 PM

That would make for some interesting pinstriping.
