$3.81 at Lowes and Home Depot.
At home depot:
For the 7 people not near a Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, or True Value, this is great… assuming they have electricity, since they’re clearly on the fringe of civilization.
I live in a small town about 15 miles away from the nearest Home Depot or Lowes. It would be far easier to order whatever this item is online than to travel to another town to get one, not to mention the gas and time involved.
It’s what what you stuff electric wires into so the penguin can’t chew on them.
With the current economic situation the going rate for these in a small town probably is around $5 in-store.
But the penguin is hungry.
There’s a salad in the refrigerator for you.
What kind?
Lettuce, egg, croutons, tomatoes, yellow temptations, sour cherry hearts, and ranch or italian.
Penguin eggs?
No, it’s a not pig egg.
Yeah. I need to go to the store soon.
You and 6 others.
Wow - I’m tired, I totally read that as yellow tampons.
Nah, the town I live in has eight people. We all take turns riding the bike attached to the track that powers our 'electricity. We got indoor plumbing a couple of weeks ago so we don’t need to all share the same outhouse anymore.
And every day ol’ Jeb climbs up on top of his house to hold up the metal rod we use for TV and internet. It’s a bit spotty cause his arms get tired and he drops it sometimes. He eventually picks it back up, though, and then everything’s fine.
Martha, our mayor, has the town computer at her house we all gather 'round to look at cat videos. She also has the town phone but we’re all afraid to use it. Who knows how those voices get in there??
I have the town TV at my house so I get to hold the remote. Sometimes Martha tries to throw her mayoral weight around by saying she should get to hold it since she’s the mayor but there’s nothing in the by-laws about that so I just tell her to hush. Which she does because she doesn’t want to miss what Dr. Phil has to say any more than the rest of us.
Now, Marcus has the town car. It’s a little slow, though, because the tires went flat and he can’t remember where he put his pump, and only seats two people, anyway, so most of us just stay home.
Anyway, that’s all to say we just order stuff. It makes Maisey, the one with the town mailbox, feel important and we all like Maisey a lot so that’s just fine.
There are three other residents, if you’re interested: Millie, Marcus’ and Maisey youngun, is only six but she’s smart as a cracker. She always finds the best cat videos. Neville just turned 18 and is apprenticing under Jeb because Jeb’s arms aren’t what they used to be so somebody else is going to have to hold up the metal rod here soon. And Bingo Jack is… well, nobody really knows much about Jack. He just appeared one day. He doesn’t talk much, mostly just grunts and grimaces. But he doesn’t hurt anybody so we let him stay. He runs the town bingo games. Since he doesn’t really talk, though, he’s not very good at it. Still, we can all see the numbers on the balls pretty well so it works out.
I just bought one of these 2 weeks ago, too, because the morons who built my house screwed the light directly to the drywall instead of installing a proper box.
- Used For Lighting & Fans, Ceiling Fans & Ventilation
Please don’t try to use this for a ceiling fan.
Get a properly braced ceiling fan box.
That’s a very good point. Ceiling fans need the one with wings or they get all wobbly.
