Rotifer, was your favorite part the Ka-Whump or the Floop? I am guessing the latter.
That little screw is what mechanics call….
or, I hope, used to call, a “pocket part.”
Owner coming back…. little doodad there on the ground didn’t seem to have anyplace to go?
Stick it in your pocket, and hope nothing happens.
Nowadays, more parts are pre-formed, pre-built, snap in, etc….
So cars aren’t so much put together from generic metal pieces and a bucket of screws.
But I’m sure there are still a few pocket parts lying around….
and a few wheels falling off unexpectedly.
My trade has “pocket parts” too….though I’m appalled by it….
Not really “parts”…. but I’ve heard older hairstylists refer to “pocket curls”.
In the days of harsher perms and straight bleach,
sometimes stylists would try a little too hard to make somebody’s hair platinum blonde….
or leave a perm on a few extra minutes….
If just one perm rod, still wound with hair, came off in the hand,
or one clump fell out when bleached hair was combed….
in the pocket it went, and a little creative styling and extra hairspray were employed to cover up.
At least people’s body parts didn’t fall off due to a missing curl. Phew.
Haha, been to Ikea!!! we always have a few screws & bolts left over!!!
This oppressive (and PERKish) attempt to limit My Favorite Part Was to a single item SHALL NOT STAND.
Was Trump limited to just one wife?
Are bisexuals limited to just one gender preference?
Can there be only one angel dancing on the head of pin?
So it’s KA-WHUMP and FLOOP.
Deal with it.
Parts is parts.
So, as men build things, I bet Claude didn’t read the instructions…….or didn’t understand the language.
Actually, Claude DID put it together correctly. What he didn’t figure on was the surprise earthquake that shook Cleveland! I, too love this strip, and Clara’s purplie dress.
