ItsMeBobO Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Opening night and I already have funny stories to tell. 1) "That has to be done with a computer or something" 2) "How much does all that cost?" 3) "Why dont you do x, x, or x?" 4) "I have been a fan all my life!"

Ebuechner Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 How do you time the lights with a radio station? (I always tell them I own the station ) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcroc Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 It never fails....."How do you get the music on the radio?" Every year I get a few that are fascinated with the fact that I have the music over the radio. It is probably the oldest tech involved in the entire thing, and THAT is what bewilders them? Another one I get from the same neighbor every year when I start putting this stuff out a week after Halloween......"Come on! It's way to early for that, isn't it?". Yup, you're right.....I will just wait till the day you put up the 2 strings of lights on your one bush every year. How much more time could I need than you? I take the neighbors cookies every year for putting up with my hobby. I skipped him this year. I'm waiting for the stupid quesion: "Why didn't you bring me any" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougd Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Yeah, the music on the radio is bewildering to most.Last night someone messaged me on Facebook asking if we were on I Heart Radio. Edited November 27, 2016 by dougd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilMassey Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I believe there is a little man living in the fridge turning the light on and off..........and one day I'll catch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the radio bewildering. I had a neighbor up the street ask if I was sponsored by the radio station. I said "Sure am......100% sponsored! The call letters for the radio station and the sponsor is W-I-F-E." Edited November 28, 2016 by B.Y.R.G. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clap on Clap off "Clapper"......I'm dyin' here! Anyone else see Deck the Halls with Danny DeVito flipping all those switches, levers, and knobs while his lights were running? I actually have had people ask me if I get tired by the end of the night, and who covers me during bathroom breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebuechner Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Can anybody loan me some blinker fluid I think I ran out. High definition stuff if you can it works better with the LEDs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
