Nothing is indestructible, even a Zippo lighter which is B-17 tough and that aircraft had a reputation for being able to fly back home even when it was shot all to hell. There were Zippo lighters back then carried by people way cooler than I but I had mine ... and I busted it.
I really didn't think it was possible to break since a Zippo lighter is the thing you have in the breast pocket of your shirt where it stops a bullet and saves your life. It's not something which breaks ... but mine did.
The vulnerability is in the hinge and that's the failing part. If someone really did carry it on B-17 missions, it would be worth finding someone to fix it but otherwise it's a (sob) casualty.
The Macho Muchacho during the ECA (Early Cellphone Age) typically used a flip phone and he would often exhibit some theatrical finality in completing the phone call by waving the phone and snapping it resolutely closed. The same thing was often common with Zippo lighters since they give a satisfying click when they close for that added touch of Hollywood.
The Rockhouse sees the Zippo as far greener than a BIC lighter since one uses lighter fluid and the other uses butane but the source of both is filthy crap from under the Earth so that's a wash.
Where the Zippo takes the win is in durability since this one has been going for at least eight years. Call that a BIC lighter a month for the same period and that leaves me with ninety-six plastic lighters which will probably end up in a landfill and that hard plastic won't biodegrade for, oh, centuries.
The mission to replace the Zippo was in concert with finding the Equalizer for the good cats vs bad cats. Naturally, the Equalizer will not harm a cat but it's a Super Soaker so the cat will definitely get wet.
The Good Cats are defined as the Original Cat who lives here. There's the Orange Cat which has become a regular so that one is ok and then there are the Interloper Cats (i.e. Bad Cats).
The situation is one Interloper Cat is a big mama and she intimidates the Orange Cat who in turn goes to the Original Cat who consequently gets intimidated and doesn't get her chow. After a while I start feeling like an idiot for being the Cat Chaperone and I return to the interior but I know it won't be long before I will hear a cat fight ... it wasn't.
Therefore, the Equalizer ... someone's going to get wet.
The way this goes tomorrow is I will repeat this morning's procedure until I hear the yowling at each other. At that time I will return to see who remains and that one will be greeting the Gulf of Mexico in short order. I can't take it to the Gulf of Mexico but the Super Soaker should have good facility for delivering it here.
Fire at will
There was a serious reason for the mission but you don't want that. You want Super Soaker video. That could possibly happen with the head cam. I hate wearing it but it's tolerable for short periods. A bit of charging and it should be ready for service.
Prepare yourself, Interloper Cat, and we will make you a star.
