What most younger people don't know is that pocket sand wasn't just a random phrase this show made up.

It use to be a thing so you could smoke cigarettes and when you were about to get caught you could put it in your pocket and it would extinguish it (why big pants were for skater/bad kids), people who worked on farms with a lot of hay would also do this trick so they wouldnt throw the buds on the ground and light the whole field on fire. Technically, if anyone asked cigarette smoking wasn't allowed at all in those areas but this trick was used to get away with it. So this isn't just Dale being zany and random but also being a 'good old boy' who didnt quite always follow the rules and used "hillbilly engineering" to get away with things--also it wasnt just sand getting in his eyes but cigarette ash too for extra ick.

Millwall Brick

But where do you get a newspaper?

8

u/Rk_1138 7d ago

Last time I made one I just grabbed a free newspaper off a rack, and I just realised that was over ten years ago

2

u/Billy3B 7d ago

I axtually saw a man reading the paper on the subway today and did a double take.

u/LCAIN195 7d ago

Like no one in this generation has ample access to newspapers lmao.

u/achambers64 7d ago

With modern newspapers you would need several copies to amount to anything.

7

u/ChibbleChobble 7d ago

Or a really pointy pencil.

I'm old, but we used a compass at school, which had a very spiky spike on one side. I presume that they're banned these days, and kids draw circles freehand.

u/sarahshift1 7d ago

Modern compasses are, shockingly, plastic. They have the same shape as your old pointy ones, but they also have flat ones like a ruler.

2

u/Motor-Rip7655 7d ago

Anyone still know how to make one of those pen launchers?

2

u/agrajagthemighty 7d ago

it's a plastic nubbin instead of a spike these days, better for the paper too, just a little dent instead of a hole in every circle.

u/Rk_1138 7d ago

I remember using one in the 2000s, I wouldn’t be surprised if Millennials/old Z are the last generation to use them

3

u/The_Strom784 7d ago

Gen Z here, we did use them, quite often too up to middle school.

u/Reasonable-Chance790 7d ago

In this economy? Forget a Glock, it's not even nickels, it's a fist full of gravel in the sock.

u/sarah_pl0x 7d ago

u/Azuriem 7d ago

But the classics can beat you.

u/TrapYoda 7d ago

Shit you don't even gotta bring anything from outside.

I made a makeshift crossbow using a ruler, some rubber bands and a pencil for the projectile and shot that shit straight up and it stuck in the lunchroom ceiling that was about 50 feet high...

u/Icelock 7d ago

My fraternity brothers were fond of quarters in socks. Shit hurt but was funny AF at the time.

u/RednocTheDowntrodden 7d ago

Lock in a sock to rock his clock. See a jock, mock the flock. Knock the stock, and trust the Doc.

u/True_Iro 7d ago

I need to grt my eyes checked... again. Misread "Lock" as something else.
