Raptor Lines
Dry Laundry in the Wind (even if it's not windy) | |
Two large trained falcons or hawks that each have an end of a nylon rope secured to their leg with a swivel attachment. Set them each on a perch about 8-10 feet apart. Hang your laundry (very securely) on the rope. I must say this is only feasible with light clothing like t-shirts, undies, and socks,
no jeans or towels. Send the falcons up to circle your abode in formation. Call them to return in about 45 minutes and your laundry should be dry.

//Call them to return in about 45 minutes and your laundry should be dry//..and covered in bird shit :) |

...might be easier with two synchronised
remote-controlled model aeroplanes ("Watch my socks and underwear loop the loop!") |
|

haha ~~ I thought about the bird poop [skinflaps] but hey it's a halfbaked idea. <oh shit> There goes my undies. |

Ray Bradbury's "Uncle Einar" did this, but he did the flying himself. |
|
| |
So [baconbrain] do you mean that *I* should try flying the laundry around myself? |
|
| |
This has been tried before, but the director was rarely satisfied with the manner in which the raptor delivered his lines. |
|
| |
this is great, can we do it with sparrows? its all I've got (and a virtual mini oddie thing) |
|
| |
Very bad this, leave the birds alone. {oh it's meant to be funny? haha, not.} |

[partially tangental story] One guy was caught going 160 mph down a highway in a van. His excuse? "I just got it painted, and was trying to get it dry!" |

[zeno] I am an animal lover and would in no way intend any harm to any animal. The large raptors are very strong and powerful. I'm sorry if you thought I was being *funny*- I thought I was being *creative*. |

<putting [bigsleep] out of the misery of delivering a straight man line and waiting in vain for the correct funny man response..> |
|
| |
First raptor: "How long have you been waiting?" |
|
| |
Second raptor: "I've been in line for an hour." |
|
| |
well, looks like the raptors ate some of my buns from yesterday! |
|

Hey, [rcarty], if the falcon doesn't come back, are my Tide-drenched bloomers loosed? |
