Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for March 11, 2024

Should be entertaining!

It has been my experience that the years we don’t get heavy rain or snow turn out to be the years we have water shortages.

It looks like the cup will spill before it can get to the pipe.

Rube Goldberg would not be impressed.

engineers coming up with solutions to problems that do not exist yet

I’m good and have plenty of water and don’t need to get any rain.

It would have to rain pretty hard for all of those parts to do what he wants it to do … Even then, I have my doubts.

Heath Robertson would be proud.

That device will flood in the first pipe.

Rube Goldberg would be proud.

That must have been a draining experience for Wiz! I like his flow of thoughts, though.

A solution in search of a problem.

The “ole boy” is on a “roll”!

If you’re going to do work, might as well have a little fun, right, Wiz?

Judging from you contraption, you’re the one who’ll need rain, and wind, too.

Thank you, Mason, for the inspiration for a downspout powered geegaw. Hitting the shop today!

Rube Goldberg strikes again!

Run it to a distillery. Make everyone happy!

One of these days I want the backstory on how Blanche and Wiz met and fell in love.

Once saw a downspout that had a Waterwheel that turned a music box – probably drive you crazy after hearing the same song for the 100,000th time during a heavy downpour

I think the first cup wheel is going the wrong direction.

Didn’t Pee Wee Herman have something like that?

He’s doing this as a diversion.

It will never work, the scoop will drop the water before it reaches the funnel…

“….for its vast entertainment value.”

Reminds me of an episode of M*A*S*H.

What, pray tell, is that contraption supposed to do, exactly?

“The rain, it raineth every day.” – William Shakespeare

Rube Goldberg would love it.

OK, Wizard …… Time to try it out …..ZAP that rain …… :)

Someone didn’t get specific in how the gutters were to be fixed…

I’m looking at Wiz’s setup with the “powerhouse” tune (Warner Brothers) running through my head.

Rube Goldberg, welcome back!
