Hi gang.
I have noticed some rather serious and unhappy posts and threads lately. Do we need Rodney King as a member?
I think we should have a mod contest open to all with a light side intent.
Suggested Criteria:
Flashlight should score high on some or all of the following attributes:
1) stupid and useless
2) silly
3) poor run time
4 ) inappropriate or poor choice of materials
5) austentasious (sp) or outlandish
6) rediculous beam in terms of pattern, throw or what have you.
7) High LOL index
I suspect the light should probably work or come real close to working.
Duct tape, bailing wire and hot glue (likely to fail) should receive higher marks than precision threads.
Some forinstances come to mind:
* Photon key ring light with 4" crystal ball for tight spot beam. (spandex holster would be a plus)
* Paper Towl Tube 3 x D cell light with hand formed aluminum foil reflector with integrated and side
mounted household toggle switch. ( 9" paint roller cover could be used for soft grip; I've seen a nice pink long knap model)
The prize will be the reward of fellow CPF'ers acknowledgements as well as the personal satisfication of giving birth to something
truely creative and stupid.
Any takers or modifications to the rules/ criteria are encouraged. I think there is potential for some strong and creative competition here!
Time to lighten up
