It's good to have a sense of scale.



Aw, I gotta give Field Mousepad a sad pat on the back. I moved from Central Canada to the west coast, and on the second day of my new job I got asked if I knew how to use a "Sawzall" and I had no idea what that was so I said no. The guy who asked called me a useless moron then whipped out a reciprocating saw. I told him if he had said "reciprocating saw" I would have said yes and he said I was an even bigger moron for not knowing that particular bit of slang.

Anyway he's dead now

Tempted to dig up the medical report about the couple who made their own DIY dildo attachment to a reciprocating saw but did not have the presence of mind to take the blade off

I only have canyoneyes for you
I actually met the "inventor" of the reciprocating saw, the engineer who came up with the idea at Milwaukee tools way back in the 50s.
I asked if it's supposed to be pronounced "sawzALL" with really pronounced L sounds or like "sawzaw". He said the right way was more like "sawzaw"
I asked if he got annoyed when people referred to other tool brands' saws as Sawzall and he said "some of the guys did, but even then it was a smaw annoyance. We're just thrilled that aww these people use that tool aww the time"

It's CYOA sub-derail time!
Either:
1. Accent chat: several goons come out of the woodwork to declare the bumfuck way their inbred town pronounces Sawzall, as their whole economy is propped up by the pawn shop buying stolen power tools
2. International chat: it's late on the east coast, so British and Australian goons will emerge to say that a sawzall is actually called a "toothy pumper" or "waggle scissor" and how dare you confuse them and force them through the indignation of a google search
3. Linguistics chat: we get a nice lesson about how sawzall can be misheard because a w next to a z makes an impaired glottal fricative vowel flattening hesitation or whatever. Understanding any of these terms' Wikipedia pages automatically grants you an honorary linguistics degree and restores your virginity

Oh! Oh holy poo poo! So THAT'S who Tom Cardy is!

There's a podcast called Dragon Friends which is a bunch of very funny Australian comedians playing Dungeons and Dragons, and the recent seasons has Tom Cardy doing live music. I haven't run into any of his stuff outside of the podcast before.

Tangent: I really appreciate that it has become standard practice for people to put subtitles right into their Tiktoks and song videos and such. It's just become a part of the prevailing style, which everyone can benefit from. And maybe I haven't been looking in the right places but I haven't seen weird chuds raising a big stink about it or how it's "ruining the purity of the art form" for the sake of woke deaf people who just want attention or whatever.

Just think how much saw zaw confusion it could have saved if they were even more prevalent
