It's time to either fish or cut bait, like my Grandpa used to say.

Well, I thought that they were either jaw-harp molds or sperm sizers but I was wrong. :down:

One more use for bacon. What can it not be used for?

I thought maybe bobbers, never would have guessed pork pollywogs though.

These suck worse than anything else that sucks! "Mystery Gadget" always takes me to a huge magazine and never right to what I want to know, which is "What is this thing?"

"... homemade pork rind pollywogs." ie: fish bait

Rich--sorry you are finding the solutions to these frustrating. Due to the nature of the links provided by Google archives, you cannot jump directly to any piece, but often only to the top or bottom of the relevant page. Just one simple scroll up or down is all it normally takes to see the answer.
