See!! I knew there would be a few that wouldn't know what a rattle can was. :rofl:

Tisk tisk---you can sure tell the ones who have lead a sheltered life. P.S. I have a whole jar full of marbles (that is what makes the rattling sound by the way) that came out of spray-paint cans. When empty just pinch the can in a vise- stab the end with a screw driver- rip the end off and walla---out comes a little ball - wipe it off and you have a nice purie. (for Gods sake please tell me you know what a purie is!). P.S. When puncturing the can there is always a little pressure left so expect a short burst of air (and sometimes paint if the can isn't completely empty). I love my marble collection and hope I never lose them.

I agree also. I hope you never lose your marbles.

Rattle cans are a nickname I never thought of for my junk in my trunk. I bet they would make some things rattle.

We never called spray cans rattle cans but quickly doing the math with the story I figured out your cleverness. Maybe my friends are right......I am too smart for my own good.

I've always heard them called rattle cans. I guess it's regional or just the shade tree mechanics that I have been around. LMAO

Ferny, like in the Twilight series.

"Twilight" was filmed not too far from where I live.

I will freely admit to being a "Twi-hard"....my wife and I love the series even though it really is meant for a younger crowd. This summer we are planning a little day trip up to Forks to sightsee and have our picture taken in front of the "welcome to Forks" sign that is featured in the movie.

My husand and I were late comers to the series of fims. We watched them all from RedBox and we both like them. That's a good plug for bad acting.

This is an amazing pic I took on my route, my iphone camera doesnt do it justice. I was at 1400 feet, looking southwest down into the valley below. From this point you can see 40 miles or more. There was a thunderstorm coming in, and I could look down into the valley and literally see a "rain line" moving slowly from west to east. There were lightning flashes, and I could hear the thunder. I was far enough away (about 8 or 9 miles) that the sound of the thunder took about 10 seconds to reach me. It would reverbate and echo off of both walls of the valley. I wanted to snap the pic at the moment of a lightning flash, but I was always a second or two too slow. You can see that the gravel road I am parked on is bone dry; 20 minutes after I took this picture there was an inch of hail covering it and rain was flooding the ditches on either side.
