Agnes by Tony Cochran for November 15, 2022

with all that banging i thought the bicycle would have gone into being a tricycle

As if either of you knows how to knit, or how to repair/restore a knitted bike. Remember, “When all you have is a hammer …”

there should definitely be a punk band named kanga doong koing!…

“If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning…”

Thank you, Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Agnes needs a forge and anvil.

I find myself wanting to buy the kids a couple new bikes

As if the dump truck hadn’t done enough damage to the bicycle already.

Agnes has found another of her unrecognized un-talents.

Worked in a sheet metal shop for a while in college. One guy there was famous for his techinque of “beat to fit, paint to match.”

“Percusive maintenance” is hitting it with a hammer until it works.

On the main drag of our town, there is a bicycle chained to a lamp post that has been completely cover by crochet.

Shouldn’t you be doing homework???

Reminiscent of an episode of M*A*S*H, where BJ and Hawkeye were attempting to modify a surgical clamp. Similar to our heroines, they were also totally out of their league as mechanical engineers, they applied a hammer to the problem, and they wound up with similar results.
