20 inch Box Fan

[UdeLakeTom]

No, but I believe it is responsible for that miserable opening firearms season for deer hunting.

Slow day at work today so had to go back and read. The original guy should get some sort of commision

[Cicada]

No commission, just the wind blowing through his hair. On low, of course.

There have been a few reports of a pale orange VW van that has been making the rounds of the lake just before Thanksgiving. They would come up to cabin owners and ask if the owners would like some snow on their lawn for the holiday. Some people thought it was a good idea and for ten dollars this fellow would haul out of the van a air compressor, some garden hose and a 20" box fan. Blowing the water through the box fan with the air compressor and some other tunnel thing he had, I was told it was a hot water heater gutted out, he would spray an inch or so of snow on the ground.

The fan had a Unicorn, Teddy bear and a Kansas City Royals baseball club sticker on it. Using a box fan was not thought of being unusual as this is Lake Iwanttobethere, however everyone who did have some snow made thought it was odd that the Box Fan had a chain running from it to the van. Almost like it was a captive. When I heard this it reminded me of the box fan and the van that I saw in town so many months ago. Perhaps there is a ransom note out there that we have missed? Or one that no one took action on. One more thing, there was mention made about a white tube sock over the trailer ball, it had a carpenters pencil jammed through the top to keep the sock from being blown off. I guess the snow was uneven to as the fan had a missing blade which made the snow thin in some spots.

[Scott Stein]

From what i hear he did not get a commission, but he did get banned from the site. he fishes with a friend of mine and makes jokes on other sites.i believe the fan was responsible for blowing down gas prices and he received a commission for that!

[pinkfloyd4ever]

so he must know the popularity of his fan huh?

[TRZ II]

From what i hear him and his cat are pretty bitter about throwing the fan away, kinda like the guy who got out of apple computers before they made any money.

you are a thief of joy.

here is a small hint. don't click on post titled "20 inch box fan"

[HaveBaitWillFish]

My first ever post on this site and it absolutely has to be in this thread. First off, has anybody seen the box fan or can locate it? The (Curse Word) guy stole it from me 12 years ago, one blade is broken, I have the other. Must have broke it when pryed out of the window. I had it propped in the window of my VW van, which has since been stolen and never located. Don't care about the van, but huge cash reward for the fan! Also missing a tube sock with hole in. Still looking for a pair of fairly worn silk boxers, has "I'm too sexy for my shorts" printed on them. May or may not have skidmarks. If found please let me know.

I do have some give away items. Was cleaning out the gargage. Found a garbage bag full of "diamonds in the rough" (circa 2005) I'm pretty sure it was from the 4th of July BBQ. Have about 40 disposable plastic, NOT THE CHEAP STYROFOAM, plates with flags on them. Gently used. Some may even have a bit of leftover bbq on them. I'm telling you thats some of the best bbq you will ever taste. Bag also includes used napkins,used sporks (taken from the local KFC) and a bunch of empty crushed beer cans. I think the cans are of the brand Beer 30. Will deliver garbage bag within 250 mile radius. Don't let this deal pass you by!

I thought there was a post about the VW earlier on.

Was the tube sock a left or right sock? This time of year, it might be hanging by someones make believe fireplace.

If the boxers were a bright red silk with pink polka dots on them, I saw a goat eating a pair in an abandoned farmplace by LakeIwanttobethere.

Sadly enough, the MN DNR had staged "Operation Cougar Drop" in that area a couple weeks ago (transplanted from Greenbush). I guess the goat has been stealing under-britches and wreaking total havoc and they wanted him destroyed.

As somebody already posted...if you want to be serious, go to the outdoors forum. If you want a good laugh, read the 20" box fan.
