  2. Left handed smoke shifter. Hmmm. M'yes. You know, I'm feeling a tugging sensation on my leg.

  4. and that one looks like some careless scout left it out in the rain rather than in its waterproof pouch, he might lose a merit badge for that.

    1. I think it predates the thingamajig, but was contemporaneous with the whatchamacallit.
