[Guest]

No thanks, you own it now, kooties and all!!! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2: :tongue-out:

It was mine to start with , complete with " kooties " what ever those are !
Your ungrateful as I was willing to share it :smiling3:

 

[Mini Me]

Naw.........I'm not ungrateful, just don't want yer kooties, that's all!


P.S. kooties= slang: bugs, lice, vermin etc.

John, those figures are looking the biz! They are getting better every time.
Don't compare yourself with P Diddy, though, that way madness lies:tongue-out3:
He must have made a pact with the devil or something.

I always wondered what that meant as well? Thanks Rick :thumb2:

 

[GerryW]

Looking good, will continue to pop in when I can.
Saw is brilliant, never seen one in scale before (used one or two though!)

Dear Mr. Race. (Member no. 453)

I am Chairman and founder member of the 'Saw Sharpening and Setting Association' (S.A.S.A.S.A.)

I refer you to your recently published photograph of a 'Pull me, pull me saw' resting on what look like octopus tentacles.
If you wish to show images like that again, please ensure the saw shows at least some effort by the operative to set the teeth of the implement before use.

This total disregard to the skill required to sharpen and set a saw does nothing but harm to our cause.

Please refrain from any further infringement of our Code of Honour.

Yours.

Cootie was a figure game like 'Mr. Potato Head' only w/insect parts. From there Kooties were imagined insects young boys got from touching young girls and then more objectionable derivations were observed in use in southern US.

There you have it............Bugs and yes, the female gender did have a certain impact on the transmisability of said Kooties. one of my first game toys as a child, I think it colored my whole life.

John, the build is coming along nicely.. although I think I’ve gotten a bit distracted with all of the woodchucking and now I think I’ve gotten cooties from touching the wife… all I know is that the saw looks awesome and the building is a masterpiece up to your fantastic level of standards

 

[Mini Me]

Hey Joe .....where you gong with that gun in your hand..............

Oh I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady.....(Jimi Hendrix/Billy Roberts)

 

[Mini Me]

Hendrix was the Man!!!!! Got the original cut on 45 rpm by the Leaves.

Wow Rick, that’s a bit of a rarity, which version? According to my rare records guide they released it twice….Mira 207 was the 1965 early one and Mira 222 was the 1966 version released with two alternate B sides…..Girl from the east and Funny little world…..

 

[Mini Me]

Hi Tim, I will have to dig it out of storage to give you an answer to that one. I actually haven't played it since the 60's I do recall it had a very fast beat and much preferred the Hendrix version of Hey Joe.

 

[Graeme C.]

Figures are looking good John, they are a work in progress at the moment, you'll get them sorted.

Thank you Andrew, hopefully you'll think these are a lot better.

John, the build is coming along nicely.. although I think I’ve gotten a bit distracted with all of the woodchucking and now I think I’ve gotten cooties from touching the wife… all I know is that the saw looks awesome and the building is a masterpiece up to your fantastic level of standards

Joe, thank you and keep well away from some members of the colonies.

Hey Joe .....where you gong with that gun in your hand..............

Fantastic track, I have an early recording of Jimi Hendrix and Curtis Mayfield recorded in a New York club long before he became famous. One of my fav recordings.

Figures are looking good John, they are a work in progress at the moment, you'll get them sorted.

Thanks Graeme, looking too close I think as well .
