I have one of those (see subject line) and I lent it to someone about 3 months ago and I just got it back today. I'm soooo happy it's like I'm reaquainted with an old friend. I've had it for a long time and damn! it's blue, a clear blue plastic casing so the insides are visible (which is cool right ). So ya, pretty happy to have my thing-a-ma-gig back.

It's still 7:35

I have a wind up and solar powered flashlight. Fully charged, it holds out for hours and to bright to look into.

Cool ! I want one of those too.    I would use the flashlight more if it was separate, having it attached to a small radio is more for emergency use.

I have a wind up watch..

I have a wind-up wind-up toy.

And a flashlight.  My wife plays with it a lot.  Makes a weird grinding noise.

Mine sounds like a turbine starting just before ignition.

I have a battery pocket watch, and a wind up wristwatch. I just think clockwork is so pretty.

Wind-up solar powered AM/FM radio with integrated flashlight and full time four wheel drive.

Lets turn the lights off and play in the dark with our flashlights

Wanna borrow one? I've got extras!

Is that a sign of a paranoid person, or just someone with many powercuts?

Dude has the big Maglite, definitely a sign of awesome

Sign of a person with a strange flashlight modification hobby.  Confirmed paranoid status not important!

That thing is probably as old as I am, it was my grandpa's back when he was a trucker. It is a weapon, it's not very practical otherwise. Don't let marketers fool you into thinking it's a flashlight!

I've been taken down with one, their heavier than you would think.

Very heavy.

I wanna see espo's radio light. I need an AM/FM radio.

Flashlights were a favorite toy when I was a kid.  I had one of those oddly shaped palm ones that said "Futura" on it, so of course it was my ray gun from the future.  I also used to hold them right up to my eye and turn them on, enjoying the patterns made by the reflectors... maybe not the smartest move ever.

i could use emma's flashlight collection. there are far too many corners without enough light in this house where i live, and it's even worse when i go outside in winter. we get new flashlights every year, but for some reason they all manage to disappear in mysterious ways

hehe  kids are awesome cuz they just don't know. Like sticking rocks up their nose ... haha awesome.
