this is crazy!

Does anyone know if the fan was measured diagonally to get the 20 inches, like they do with TVs? Or was it 20"x20"? I find that practice misleading and would hate to learn that it has transferred over to the fan game.

Also a question about the stickers. Are they in good shape some torn or faded at all?

[chad austin]

Could someone tell me if this fan is reversible? If so, whoever has it, could you please reverse the rotation and pull some cold weather into MN. PLEASE

well your in luck if you want a faded half torn royals sticker!

[itchmesir]

Torn Royals sticker on the fan just makes it look hip and retro.. back when people actually liked the Royals

Was a quiet morning here at Lake Iwanttobethere and I was wiping out beer mugs when a dude came in and asked if he could get his thermos filled with coffee. Not an unusual request as guys do it all the time before heading out to fish on the lake. He had his scarf pulled up high around his face and his hat pulled down low and I thought that was a little strange as I filled the thermos as it was not cold inside the Lodge. He paid for the coffee and then nodded and headed out the side door of the Lodge. Still no big deal till I glanced up and saw he was driving an old orange VW van with a Kansas City bumper sticker and a Green Bay Packer helmet logo on the rear door. Now that got my attention. I went to the window in time to see I swear a 20" box fan in the rear window! Before I could get anyone else to come look at the van it was out the parking lot and heading for the highway. Made me think of this thread and years ago when I think I saw the missing box fan. More I think about it I think that was the same van! Hmmmmm Green Bay, yup would not surprise me at all...

Another sighting of the fan in a VW Micro Bus, must be something to it. Do you suppose they were taking the fan to Green Bay to blow the stink off the field?

With all the warm weather we've had this winter I know we're all itchin' to enjoy the box fan, but be vigilant not to get too foolhardy.

Remember no fan is ever completely safe.

Ah, a 20" box fan with a unicorn sticker to match my walkman that harvey found on lake washington today.

[HOBBSTER]

I think we have reason to believe the box fan is still alive and spinning. With all the wind I had blowing on me in my deer stand last fall I bet it is near Mora. I will be setting out a game camera this year. If its around there, the cam should pick it up. As for a bait pile, I can't decide if I should set out my Wild jersey, Twins hat or Vikings shirt. If it is a true MN fan, it won't resist the chance to blow the bad juju out of here. Hopefully it will record a video and capture sound.

Umm don't think it's a true Minnesota fan with that Royals sticker on it but I hear ya on the wind part of it I thinkiot was in the Rainy Lake region this past weekend as thevwind was howlin on Sunday.

[flyfisher03]

Is the fan still available?

[Bobby Bass]

Has anyone else seen the plans for the new Vikings stadium? I got to glance at them and I thought there was an arrow where a 20" box fan was to be installed. I think that is the whole problem with the stadium bill, they can't locate the box fan.

[Desperado]

Well thankfully it's always had a sufficient amount of stickers.

So at least we don't have to worry about it spreading AIS (where-ever it is)

I was at walmart in Eden Prairie Saturday, and just when I was pulling out of my parking spot, I think I spotted the fan being carried in for a return in an open box. I was sure it was beyond 90 days by now and wouldn't be taken, but I didn't re-park my truck and follow to see what happened. I wanted to get a picture to verify if this was the same fan, but I'm sure it was.

[Troublehook]

Man I haven't posted in a single internet forum in YEARS. Funny to see this thread is still going. I wonder what my signature looks like. Guess I'll find out in this post...

[Nordern]

I remember the first week this was posted and it's still going strong. I just had to get onboard.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

? is this a left or right handed box fan? If it is right handed I can't use it cuz I would like to blow air out. But I could perhaps use it on the other side of the cabin.

This reply still cracks me up every time I re-read page 1, a close close second is "can I interest you in a ladder with no rungs" LOL

[givetoget]

One year later, where did it go is it fianaly lost, someone dig a hole and bury it.

[solbes]

Sadly TRZ has not visted in over 4 years. But he will be forever remembered by starting this EPIC thread.

I giggle a little bit everytime I remember him simply stating "Fan is gone. Cat is O.k." (Page 3)

[toughguy]

My guess is TRZ just re-registered with a new user name. I only wish there were pictures with the original post. It would make a great avatar!!

I FOUND IT ... I FOUND THE 20" BOX FAN...

My family and I were outside over the weekend and I went in the house for something to drink and the T.V. show "here comes honey boo boo" was on in which I paid no attention to - UNTIL I seen it - the 20" box fan being pulled from a dumpster they were at in McIntyre, Georgia.

Apparently the 20" box fan is trying to make its way to Hollywood to make the big time, making guest appearances on shows like here comes honey boo boo. I wish you the best of luck in your acting career.
