Gas Powered Blender

Someone mentioned seeing one of these in 2007, that would be the year of the Green Man. Ironic.

The supplier would be http://www.gasblender.com/ and apparently there are others. Interesting on their web site you can order the machine with an extra "unbreakable blender jar" or you can order a replacement "unbreakable blender jar". This item is perfect for demonstrating profligate use of fossil fuels at BM, as if we need more examples.

Here is a more creative version:

There's a guy that made one from a chain saw and goes around serving Margaritas.

In 2010, I camped with a disabled burner camp and one of the vets has one, he had it in 2011 and probably for some years before 2010.

It got used, a lot, make sure the lid is on tight. Those things can fling far and wide (I wasn't there on "that night", but saw the aftermath of a party one morning, all over their RV's exteriors) and the ground tarps, and everywhere! The camp has a MOOP-czar, so no worries 'bout that issue. (I think it got loose or something, :roll: )
I'm the MAN in a truck, burner who is stuck, you're in luck! I'll whip out my BIG tow chain and not charge you, not even one lousy buck!

It made my day.

Hippies. Nobody misses them when I render them into diesel. Nobody.


Yes, it's the obligatory hippie joke. I know, I'm a hater.

I don't know what you mean by that.
Provocation?
Gentle ribbing?
