I'm gonna be more careful with my Floss Box around the shower
Stooping to pick up an empty plastic Dental Floss container from my bathroom floor, on Recycling Day, my sciatic nerve pinched, and I crumpled to the deck like a tattered Russell Athletic MSU Sweatshirt tossed aside after a long Saturday of "Inappropriate Misconduct." As my Piriformis spasmed, I instinctually opened the hinged cap to rid said plastic box of its metal Floss Cutter; thereby facilitating the Saving of our Planet. This time, however, still wracked by spasms, I took notice of the paper tube spiraling out of the box and coming to rest adjacent the sundry, yellowed nail clippings.
Still spasming, in agony, my mind raced to recent YORF posts of Patrol Cruiser Excalibers, Dragon Ship 7s, Avenger Guineveres. Those little tube details girding the engine tube, those BT-3XWs, they get expensive at $1.19 a pop. What would happen if I cut these Floss Tubes in half, and made the necessary adjustments? The tubes look to be off only by millimeters. I think I'm just saying that I'm saving these tubes from Huron Trout. Last edited by Overeasy123 : 11-30-2017 at 07:02 PM. |

Looks like they could be used as 1/4" launch lugs as well.

Right? As long as you don't mind Mint-Flavored Launch Lugs!

Not at all, as long as they're plaid. (That's a Leisure Suit Larry joke and might not translate well.)

LOL...I loved the LSL and Spacequest series from Sierra too.
Overeasy123, you know the pesky piriformis muscle that's causing you pain, so I'm sure you know the proper stretches that will put you on the road to a quicker recovery. Not only do they help me get over it, I hardly ever have a full blown crippling episode anymore. I try to remember to stretch every night, but sometimes forget. Sometimes I feel a twinge that quickly reminds me to find a hidden place and stretch right now! If you build an identical pair of MMX rockets with those little tubes, you can call them the Double Mint Micro Twins. .

Wow, you beat me to it. Losing some weight, lots of walking, and stretches have pretty much eliminated my hideous bouts of sciatic pain. So . . . last week, I was hit by a car while walking my dog. The car also hit a utility pole, slowing it, so I "only" got a broken rib and got hurled into a fence and bounced off into a crumpled heap. Big swollen bruises on my hips, thighs, and knees, constant back ache and stiffness . . . and honestly, that was LESS painful than sciatic nerve attacks.
