I used to habitually wear a "uniform" that I was told left people wondering whether I was a country singer or a professional assassin. Okay, I've mulled this over for a few days trying to put together an ensemble in my head that would pass for both a country singer or a professional assassin. I've come up empty. So I've gotta ask, what did this uniform consist of?

Hmmm... The Pacific Northwests impressions of country singers and assassins must be different than the rest of the country. I don't see the comparison to either profession.

I don't see the comparison to either profession. the demeanor was a large part of the assassin connection, I think. the hairstyle had some significance, too. (when the guy you are working with is from Texas and the rest of the crew calls YOU "Tex" that's significant)

I'm standing IN the door, and I'm a discernible bit taller than Warwick Davis. it actually has an unusually high threshold. here is the full view of the tent. Attachment Deleted

Comparing the two, what was behind you is a platform for a bed......?.... oh, yes. one of the benefits of the modification was that besides making more headroom, it let me get the bed off the floor.

Going on 30 odd years since I had "Short" hair... I have had the occasional tidy up done, for instance just before my Wedding...

Homer invented an electric hammer once.
It'd be fun to duplicate it and see if it would work. I doubt it, personally.

I'm looking that up, because in the US, we do have a couple models of "swingless" hammers. (sorry, I didn't get audio on that clip.) ("it's pretty loud" he says - as it drowns out the siren in the background.) NOTE: this does not constitute an endorsement for any of the above products. - I have not personally used any of them.

I have the Ryobi version. It's good for close quarters nailing.
Homer's is different, though, as seen in your video. It acually swings the head, instead of pulsing the solenoid.
Here's another version of Homer's inventions:
