What is it, From where?

[Fred Carmichael]

No Snickers Bar involved but figured someone could I.D. it.

The middle of a honey dipped donut. Krispy Kreme, Louisville, KY

[Bob Reynolds]

Looking down a boiler stack?

[Tom Schiffer]

Fred: Looksta me like a firing hole in a boiler; where the oil gun enters the firebox. My guess is MQ although I've never seen it. Cap'n Walnut

[Jazzou Jones]

That is the bell of Tom Hook's tuba.

[Tom Schiffer]

Jazzou: Mebbe so...Thinks mebbe I c'n see the inside of his ribs, sure looks like he had a fair amount of lung capacity (wind) but not in the same league with banjo playwers...nor yet, calliope perfessers. Cap'n Walnut

[Jazzou Jones]

Cap'n, if it ain't the tuba bell, then it's gotta be the spitoon from the ER

[Jazzou Jones]

And what makes you think it's from the Louisville Krispy Kreme?

Ah, Cap, you warmed the cockels of my four stinged heart. Now, if I could only find my cockels .......

Imagine the lung capacity needed to play a tuba at 10,000 ft. Sorry we got off the track, Fred, but most of us haven't got a clue.

[Jazzou Jones]

You probably left them near your banjo picks, deeyah.

You WIN Capt. It is the fire box opening on the STBD. Boiler, on the Mississippi Queen. Being a smart ass myself, I enjoyed the "play" several people had with this, but had hoped for some more serious responses. What really gets to me is that this boiler is in better shape now than when I fired on her in '77.

"Serious"? Come on, Fred. You know better than that. Steamboat crew "serious"? How can anyone who CHOOSES to live in a 6 x 6 steel box underwater ever be serious?

See above (or below) thread on "mitigation" for serious responses.
