    Twist stick paint roller

    How many times has this happened to you. You climb down in to your 20' x 20' bunker to escape the coming nuclear cloud only to have your wife complain about the old paint color. So what do you do...you climb back up and drag out all the old painting supplies, rusted roller pans, old rollers, and ladder and hump it all back to the bunker...just to encounter that pesky nuclear cloud. But wait...you could have made it in time by just grabbing your Twist Stick!
    I'm repainting my stepmothers interior of her house. I started by dragging out all my old painting junk, and painted her bedroom. It took forever. So while shopping for more supplies at Lowes, I saw this paint stick.

    it was around $25, and thought I would give it a try. The day before it had taken me several hours, and with this paint stick, It only took 20 minutes to repaint a second coat. The clean up is a bit tiresome, but it's the same with cleaning up the old way also. It will only load from a one gallon can, and I had a 5 gallon bucket, so I put a piece of vinyl tubing I had in the garage over the siphon tube to extend it to the bottom. Other than that, I give it 9 silver bars out of 10.

    But how does it rate on the Twinkie, and #10 freeze dried food can scale?
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes

    To quote Tallahsee..."snowballs, snowballs, where the fuck are Twinkies. I think Tallahsee would only give it 6 out of 10 Twinkies, as it has no creamy goodness at its center. As far as a #10 can scale, I would give it a 8 out of 10, due to the fact much like a Twinkie, you can't eat what's inside the wrapper.

    RE the Twinkies they are the only thing I know of that has a longer shelf life than dehydrated food. So Twinkies it is.

    Oh yea the paint thingy.....got to try it, I imagine the shield will also cut down on the splatter.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
