Now that I’m not allowed to drive a car, I spend a lot of time waiting in bus-stop shelters, so I amuse myself inventing spin-offs on what I see around me.
Here’s today’s collection of controlled dreaming about walking-stick “improvements”.
- a quick-access pouch for the cellphone
- a
walk-in-the-dark light
- a pepper spray exiting through the ferrule
- a foldout seat halfway up using the folding-fan principle
- flip-out feet for standing up stick while you fumble in your pockets
- compartments for bus-card, coins, cash-card, nip of whiskey
- a vinegar-spray against dog-attacks
- for dog-owners, a plastic-bags compartment and a snap-ring for a dog-lead, plus a reward-pellet container
- a voice-chip which says "Please call so-and-so I'm lost", triggered by cooling of the handle
Most of these are just plain silly of course, but there’s a big market out there for jokey retirement gifts such as a fully loaded stick might be.

Would someone please get Rayfro some Venture Capital and a staff to implement his ideas? Even if his ideas were bad he's a wonderful person and I'd keep my mouth shut if he kept it all (But he wouldn't because he's...) |

Thanks thumbwax. You make a good impression with that thumb of yours, but I'd rather succeed at failure than make a mess of success. I'm a natural born halfbaker. |

This got my vote, if for no other reason because Rayfo managed to use the word "ferrule." |

(Also, it brings back fond memories of a character I played in a GURPS Fantasy game back in college who invented the Swiss Army Quarterstaff...) |

Uncle Nutsy, you're not the only inventer of that...I designed one that had blades, and a grappling hook and rope, and turned into one of the giant 3-part Nunchaku type thing that I can't remember the name of...A lot of fun. Actually drew up designs for it... |

Add a 120V plugin feature for recharging, warming coffee, or air popping a bag o' corn. I'll bet that thing would fly off the shelves .. uh. |

That's next year's model. |
