What Is It? Game 125

[joke]elephant back scratcher[/joke]

i'd guess a ice "pick", i'd guess for dividing large blocks of ice into smaller pieces by "scoring" a line around the outside where you'd want the block to split? used by an old fashioned ice man delivering ice blocks?

I think its an ice axe...or a pick for the larger members of the Black Panthers.

it's an MDI, or a Modern Devilish Implement. Ol' Scratch has gotten way beyond pitchforks, folks, and down in the infernal regions, he just wasn't getting the screaming he wanted out of the televangelists he's surrounded by, so he commissioned DARPA, to create a new implement, that he could really wind up with and whack their sorry be-hinds. They came up with the MDI, ergonomically designed for maximum speed and penetration, with the ease of clean-up that today's Devil-on-the-go demands. When asked what he thought of the new tool, he commented that it works perfectly, and when the new crop of conservative television pundits gets down to him, he'll be ready. "I'm especially looking forward to taking the MDI to Glenn Beck's doughy hide."

A detangling comb for a particularly sadistic mom.

Well, you are all wrong. This is a Finnish Fedalupa, used for drawing intricate designs on the ice covered ponds throughout scandanavia. It is most used during the two week vooderhoda celebration, which roughly corresponds to our breif valentines day in the USA. Beautiful poems and designs are drawn on the icy ponds, espousing secret love and even proposals of marriage. A boy carrying a Fedalupa will evoke a riot of giggles from all women seeing him, as this devilish looking device is actually an instrument of high Finnish romance.

EXTREME COMB!!!!!

This device is Alexander C. O'Reilly's Ye Olden Fraternity Keg Starter. One of several competing brewers in New Haven, Conn., O'Reilly gave these out to his frequent customers to aid in partaking of his fine quality ales and porters. No fraternity at Yale was without one of these from 1790 up until 1820, when an angry mob of teetotalers ran O'Reilly out of town.

A burly fraternity brother (or anyone who was capable of standing) could swing the single spike to puncture a hole in a wooden keg of beer and insert a tap. The genius of O'Reilly's Keg Starter was that in case of particularly rowdy, raucous parties, someone could swing the four-prong end to create four taps at once. This advantage ensured O'Reilly's brewery would remain the party supplier of choice at Yale University.

The O'Reilly Keg Starter was called "The Mallet of Bacchus" by Yale alumni Eli Whitney, who once said "By God, there is no better way to get wrecked like a Tory than O'Reilly's Heavenly Hammer. I once drank Benjamin Franklin under the table in 1786! Yeeeeeeehaw!". Thomas Jefferson observed "We had four kegs of ale and two of a fine stout going at once after signing the Declaration of Independence, all thanks to you, Alexander C. O'Reilly and your marvelous invention! Godspeed to you and your fine brews!"

Legend has it that William F. Buckley used a O'Reilly Keg Starter to dig up Mr. O'Reilly's skull in a midnight raid for the Skull and Bones Society in 1943. The skull is rumored to hold an honored place in the secret society's headquarters, where it is allegedly used in initiations where the aspiring Future Bonesman chugs beer from it. Very few O'Reilly's Keg Starters reach the antique market, as they are snapped up by Yale alumni whenever possible, fetching prices of up to $20,000 at auction.
