    baddog's tip of the day

    If you have a ceiling fan, and use an extension to lower it down, be advised that after 12-15 years, you might want to consider going up on a ladder and make sure that the constant spinning has not caused it to loosen itself.

    I lucked out this evening when I went down to my den, turned the fan and lights up a little, and sat down on my couch to enjoy dinner.

    Suddenly the fan and lights came falling straight down onto me, only stopping because I did such a great job of connecting the power to it. But it was a very close call.

    So, every few years you might want to take a look and see how it is hanging so to speak.

    The message here is not quite so monochromatic and clear as in your last mishap thread -- but then this wasn't so much a mishap as it was (in your own words) a "very close call"...

    Hmmmm.

    If a man who spills blender contents all over the floor is a man who needs a woman in his life, what in the world could a man whose celing fan almost kills him be wanting for?

        Misery loves company . . . . ummm, I think we came up with very different messages from the first episode.

        You came up with some inane idea that a falling blender equals "needs a woman" while I came away with the message that I need a new blender.

        Speaking of which, and this should probably be filed under "baddog's tip of the day for single guys: part 2," but Oster makes a pretty nice blender, and I believe 4 blades going in 4 different directions works a lot better than 4 blades going 2 directions.

        I think the message from tonights episode was that I really need to get one of those 21' Gorilla, 4 in 1 ladders. So I did. One of the advantages of the big city is that you can buy something like that at 9 PM.

          Tell you what, I never gave it any thought until it came flying down. If I had been standing instead of sitting, I would not be writing this now.

            Ouch Slice and dice??? It would have been another "blender" story but a bit more gruesome

                Nah, there would not be too much slice and dice, more crash and smash. This fan has wooden blades. I stopped a high speed, metal ceiling fan with my face several years back. It broke my nose, but I bent the blade with my face.

                These wooden blades would not stand a chance.

                  Yes, I will admit it did scare the living crap out of me. Could not even enjoy my dinner, because I did not know how long the wire nuts were going to that up.

                      But the literal is so boring -- especially at 3:50AM.


                      I really like metaphor -- it gives layers to our meanings and exposes our experiences to multiple interpretations.

                      For some, metaphor is a language through which they give embodiment to things that don't embody easily.

                      For others, metaphor is a language through which they understand things that don't embody easily, by finding those things concealed in other things that do.

                      I have the misfortune of belonging to both categories. As such, I suffer and enjoy the presence of metaphor in pretty much all I see.


                      I do concede, though, that sometimes a blender is just a blender and a fan is just a fan...


                      ... if only to agree --

                              Ahh got it. It's blades pointing in 4 different directions, but going the same direction
                              I didn't really get how it could have 4 blades spinning individually in 4 different directions.

                                Sounds like something from Road Warrior You have to admit, it would probably blend like a mother fucker.

                                              This advice is just as good as the blender advice.

                                              Maybe you should look into those Bob Villa Time Life books
                                              sig too big

                                                Nah, there would not be too much slice and dice, more crash and smash. This fan has wooden blades. I stopped a high speed, metal ceiling fan with my face several years back. It broke my nose, but I bent the blade with my face.

                                                These wooden blades would not stand a chance.

                                                            I lucked out this evening when I went down to my den, turned the fan and lights up a little, and sat down on my couch to enjoy dinner.

                                                            Suddenly the fan and lights came falling straight down onto me, only stopping because I did such a great job of connecting the power to it. But it was a very close call.

                                                            So, every few years you might want to take a look and see how it is hanging so to speak.
