That town had a great idea. I’m glad you visited and we got to see giant objects, it was a lot of fun, I liked they had several you could climb in or interact with, landscaping was beautiful and it looked like a pretty town. Sorry about Possum 3.

A swizzle spoon is a bar spoon that is a long-handled spoon used in bartending for mixing and layering of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks. Its length ensures that it can reach the bottom of the tallest jug or tumbler to mix ingredients directly in the glass

@vonitadustylgreen2914 3 года назад

Jacob Hood there are different types. There is the swizzle sticks that came out in the 1800s, the swizzle spoons for bars ( which are like teaspoons but smaller and elegant) and then there are swizzle spoons for malts, shakes and floats. They have a straw and the spoons are small and deeper.

Paul 2006 is so droopy. Casey is one of our favorite stop for our family. You have seen a lot of Paul for sure. Hey, you got a newer drone. I miss that big one you had. Oh no, it crashed. Poor drone. Casey was one of our favorite stops last year. The Giant Mailbox and giant pencil was my favorite!!! RIP Possum 3

@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093 3 года назад

Sorry to see the death of another opossum. They don't live to long. It is slow around here this morning, getting caught up on your vlogs. Thanks for making it to "Dutch Wonderland". That place sure has changed since the 70s. It use to set in the middle of a corn field. The land it set on was a cleared field. Pretty cool seeing all the trees that have grown up since my childhood years in the 70s. You are correct about the Dutch Wonder House. Think you rode one of those houses at Clark Trading Post a many years back. I still have my view-masters from Wonderland. Keep up the awesome vlogs and traveling schedules...

@markdraskovics1962 3 года назад

HEY, JACOB WHAT'S Up.. well yeah that Drone has seen its last days.. and yes that Was one of the Saddest Paul Bunyan's I have ever seen (OH No It does look like you ) there are many names for seesaws like teeter toters, Wobble, Waver, sway, Hover, switcher, Hum and Haw and My favorite a shilly-shally I did love the giant top it's Awesome also want that pitchfork OK Take care stay safe and see you on the next adventure

@anniep7280 3 года назад

Thank you for a very enjoyable video! Regarding the giant teeter totter/ see-saw, there was a rhyme for when you trapped the kid on the top. " Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown, what will you give me if I let you down?" After the kid trapped in the air promised you anything and everything, you would let them down. Maybe.

@SebastianErynLupitaMarissa 3 года назад

A jigger, a cocktail shaker and a bar spoon A bar spoon holds about 5 millilitres of liquid (the same as a conventional teaspoon). Its long handle is similar to an iced tea spoon, but is usually decorative and elegant - some variations mimic large swizzle sticks, with a disc at one end. The shaft is typically thin and threaded so that the fingers can easily grip and rotate the spoon.[2][3]

@joeltackett5860 3 года назад

It i a :swizzle stick: and ued as a dink stiirer. Also, you referring to your drones as Possum(numbrt) put me in mind of an organization that offered 3 & 4 day trip on busses that they called Possum (number 1 thru 6) that traveled at night and visited a location during the day.

@kimberlyshalaby1134 3 года назад

How small you looked in that huge mailbox. That was a crochet hook. Casey, Illinois is definitely a unique place. You did a really beautiful video of Casey, Illinois. I would love to visit one day.

@deniseboldea1624 3 года назад

That hook in the yarn shop is a Crochet hook. 😊 The "Caveman Lawnmower" is a Tamper, it would be used to level out dirt in parking lots and driveways, then it could also tamp the pitch down in driveways or small parking lots where larger steam rollers were not needed, or could not be used due to space constraints. As for the swizzle and twizzle spoons, that seems to be dependent upon who makes them. They were common in ice cream shops for shakes and floats. The long handle on some models served as a straw, and the spoon allowed you to eat the remaining ice cream.

14:26, 'tis a crochet hook, and it was the world's largest for about a year until some students in England surpassed it. I visited Casey myself a couple of years ago and put it on my channel, saw everything but the gavel and the key(and the pizza cutter, but it wasn't built yet.)

@SchererProductionServices 3 года назад

Sounds like Possum 3 had a technical fault. I would contact the manufacturer and ask that they investigate. I know of other vloggers whose drones malfunctioned and upon the manufacturer checking found there was an issue in the software/mechanics. Might be worth a try.

@timothybark5357 3 года назад

According to their website you did miss the world's largest gavel. And other big things like the 'big pizza slicer' (it's on the other side of the street where the antler is) and a nicely done big rocket horse. :) Oh and a big anvil and horseshoe in the neighboor town Martinsville. Great episode!
