A Thing On My Desk

One of my best scores EVAR at Value Village, years ago, was a ThinkTank.

I forgot to tell you Saturday: the wedding is back on.

I didn't want to bring it up on my post for obvious reasons. I have also screened that picture reply I just made, in case you don't want your mug visable online.

Yeek!
Well, we talked about all that before. My motto for Other People's Affairs, no matter how interesting a train wreck they might be, is "don't get any on ya."

Thanks for the photo - I did see you fiddling with the camera.

That is awesome and I am completley covetous.

As I said, best thrift store score EVAR.

Oh, FER SURE! I would totally wrestle someone for that.

[ltmurnau]

OMG LOLZ!!!!

That is truly a treasure.

And it's mine, all mine!

But I'm sure one day someone will make up a virtual-reality version of the ThinkTank so it looks as if you are generating the words online by "turning" the knobs.

I'd never seen/heard of a manufactured random word generator before.

B.C. (before computers) it was great creating different word trigger generators with words cut out of magazines or 3x5 cards.

Thank you for posting the Thinktank.

The link in my post is one of the very, very few online refences to the ThinkTank. Follow it and you will see emails from the designer and manufacturer.

Like you, I've seen and used lots of manual random-thingy generators for creativity and loosening up, but the ThinkTank, with 13,000 words (well, I didn't count them, that's what they say it was loaded with) is the best manual device I've seen.

An understanding of floating violence
Unbar the city command cradle
And declassify that leather silliness

Gee, it's easy to make Old Sarge smile....
