Yeah, that's me alright... anybody got any idea what the hell's going on?
***SPOILER FOLLOWS***
We have a couple of powerful flashlights on the job (one is a 1.5 million candlepower rechargeable spotlight that became a particular favorite of one of my co-workers after I demonstrated it to him... he'd so much as see a car in the parking lot after dark and he'd shine that monster on the occupants and they'd leave PRONTO- yeah, I created a monster). Our newest flashlight, powered by two C-cells, was dropped by one of the guys in the department, so the button for the switch popped off. To turn the thing on or off, one has to use a pen or a key, or what-have-you to hit the switch. Last night, I kept the light on (we're using rechargeable batteries at this time, so it's not that much of a waste), but slipped the thing up my sleeve when I wanted a little darkness. The light is powerful enough that it was able to render my hand translucent... making me look like some kind of creepy horror out of "Warcraft".
Yes. I have the ultimate kel light.
ReplyDelete6 D cells, 9 pounds, 240,000 candlepower.

Assuming I got those filenames in the right order n shit...
Why does my living room look lavendar?
ReplyDeleteI think I've totally fucked up the white balance on this camera for all time...
That's not a light, that's a kanabo. How many D cells in that baby?
ReplyDeleteOne of the guys in the department has a light like that- he keeps it in the car much of the time.
Oh, 6 D cells... ignore the man behind the cretin!
ReplyDeleteA. Friend had one of those zillion candlepower "aircraft landing lights," which he kept in his car. Much fun was had.
ReplyDeleteActually, it's not all that creepy looking. You could have said it's a picture of a cherry swirl and I would have believed you.
ReplyDeletePresent for BBBB!

Not even a cherry swirl of doom?
