That town had a great idea. I’m glad you visited and we got to see giant objects, it was a lot of fun, I liked they had several you could climb in or interact with, landscaping was beautiful and it looked like a pretty town. Sorry about Possum 3.

That was a Crochet hook ( Crow-shay)

[@gtavstepfordcounty1733]

A swizzle spoon is a bar spoon that is a long-handled spoon used in bartending for mixing and layering of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks. Its length ensures that it can reach the bottom of the tallest jug or tumbler to mix ingredients directly in the glass

[@vonitadustylgreen2914]

Jacob Hood there are different types. There is the swizzle sticks that came out in the 1800s, the swizzle spoons for bars ( which are like teaspoons but smaller and elegant) and then there are swizzle spoons for malts, shakes and floats. They have a straw and the spoons are small and deeper.

[@harleycynofficial]

We always used swizzle spoons for adding sugar to glasses of iced tea and swizzle sticks for coffee.

[@zanetaylor5639]

I live 1hour and a half north of Casey near Danville, IL. I have driven through Casey many times but have never stopped. I have always wanted to stop and see all of the large things. It is also cool to see you in my neck of the woods.

[@badmoonrising-gotc2355]

Watching this channel is literally how I fight my depression. Always makes me laugh.

[@conniecrawford5231]

That park area with the wind chimes is so beautifully landscaped!Thanks Jim Bolin for your financing !

[@englishatheart]

Chill with the exclamation points. :-P

[@BryceRabbits]

You post so much content and it’s always great. Always upbeat. A mood-lifter.

[@clairerobertson5347]

always great.

[@juliecalkins9694]

You posted this the day my husband and I stopped on our way back home from our trip to one of your favorite places. The Smokey Mountains. Casey is pretty much in our back yard.

[@DocDoccus]

"The drone is not operational." Missed opportunity to sing "I'm just a Jake in a gilded cage".

[@filipohman7277]

Yeeeeeaaaaah Jacob You are Awesome!!!👍👍😀Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

[@codiedavis1388]

I hope you got some ice cream. The ice cream shop outside the mailbox is absolutely amazing!

[@199Crypto]

Paul looks like he's put in a hard day's work and needs some rest.

[@The_Pepper_Passion]

Thank you Jacob,this is kinda stuff I follow you for.✌️

[@jg_in_hd]

Drone!!! The old Carpetbagger lives

[@totalvamp792]

I love wind chimes. Thank you for showing me that.

[@FBIs]

1:06 imagine how terrifying that is at night

[@gthgirl392]

ever since IT Chapter 2, Paul Bunyan will never be the same for me lol

[@johnny85er]

Awesome!! I was hoping you would visit the Paul Bunyan. I always thought he looked sad because he cut down all the trees.

[@jennymodgoddess]

That's a crochet hook with the knitting needles. Awesome video.

[@tigerann4941]

What a gift to that town!

[@sunlitegodis]

I had no idea there was a giant, sad looking Paul Bunyan near Governor’s State. Will have to make a quick trip. I love that you visit all these quirky places! I thought I had subscribed already- it’s all set now!

[@sharonjerseygirl7165]

Very Unique Place Carpet Bagger TFS!!!👍😊

[@SantosChronicles]

Paul 2006 is so droopy. Casey is one of our favorite stop for our family. You have seen a lot of Paul for sure. Hey, you got a newer drone. I miss that big one you had. Oh no, it crashed. Poor drone. Casey was one of our favorite stops last year. The Giant Mailbox and giant pencil was my favorite!!! RIP Possum 3

[@deniseboldea1624]

That hook in the yarn shop is a Crochet hook. 😊 The "Caveman Lawnmower" is a Tamper, it would be used to level out dirt in parking lots and driveways, then it could also tamp the pitch down in driveways or small parking lots where larger steam rollers were not needed, or could not be used due to space constraints. As for the swizzle and twizzle spoons, that seems to be dependent upon who makes them. They were common in ice cream shops for shakes and floats. The long handle on some models served as a straw, and the spoon allowed you to eat the remaining ice cream.

[@DanOnPlanetEarth]

This was absolutely fantastic Jacob!... Want to add a bolt of energy to your town?... With Art, Positivity and Creativity you can!... Amazing. One of your best!

[@ericson0504]

Next to the knitting needles is a giant crochet hook :) Two totally different things, but similar yarn things.

[@jaidenfrostpresents]

You look like 2005 Patrick Stump on vacation and it always makes me smile. Love your content!

[@IntroSkipper]

“I’ve been neglecting possum 3” *crashes possum 3*

[@jtamura69]

Seems like he’s not too lucky flying drones! Time for possum 4. lol

[@Amanda-kw1vi]

Just lucky it wasn't a car! "Sorry ma'am, the sensors weren't working in your car and that's why you crashed" NO!

[@rocknamputee9089]

The twizzle is made to stir cocktails and the originals were made of glass.bi remember them as a kid, and I'm 60 now!

[@sparrowspearl882]

Thank you for doing what you do

[@Corgis175]

You are my favorite vlogger.

[@midnightrunner684]

We Love Ya Carpet Bagger

[@koolb3anz62]

I actually live like around 1 30 or 2 hours away from that town, I've visited all of those things too

[@debbiegradowski9885]

Oh this was fun thank you Jacob! You could say Paul was so sad he swatted your drone away, flying it into a pole! And you saw it all! That’s AMAZING!

[@saguaro2231]

What a wonderful thing; creative and fun, this town has come up with...knowing towns, this might not have been easy; so kudos to the citizens, and to you, for finding and sharing...Thank you, Carpetbagger!

[@amandakohler8810]

There's a big Paul Bunyan at Enchanted Forest in Old Forge, NY

[@dillonrostensrandomvideos]

A bar spoon is a long-handled spoon used in bartending for mixing and layering both alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks. ... Its long handle is similar to an iced teaspoon, but is usually decorative and elegant - some variations mimic large swizzle sticks, with a disc at one end.

[@theoddtrotter9568]

14:26, 'tis a crochet hook, and it was the world's largest for about a year until some students in England surpassed it. I visited Casey myself a couple of years ago and put it on my channel, saw everything but the gavel and the key(and the pizza cutter, but it wasn't built yet.)

[@julianacromey7151]

14:23 it's a crochet hook. 😁

[@colonel9990]

Teeter-totter swings back and forth. See-saw goes up and down.

[@sachen3164]

I went to governors state university. I remember passing Paul Bunyan every day going to school and he always looked the way I felt lol

[@annmariephillips7287]

🎶Poor Paul, poor Paul Bunyan🎶(from the cartoon). This was fun! Sorry about your Drone.

[@orsonboggs7753]

13:33 wowzer...look across the road...two classics..a 58 ford fairlane and a 64 galaxy convertable..sweet

[@mvela9877]

R. I. P. Possum 3. Great video😄. Thanks for taking me virtually where I can’t go👍🏼

[@McCracken257]

the mailbox and the spinning top was my two favorites

[@jackbest6677]

You are absolutely enjoyable.

[@talfacprez]

A really fun video today.

[@midwestnobody8531]

It's worth saying Paul is in a whole sculpture walk, there's a lot of good art there so you can spend a bit of time. It's not just that.

[@SebastianFarahCrush]

A jigger, a cocktail shaker and a bar spoon A bar spoon holds about 5 millilitres of liquid (the same as a conventional teaspoon). Its long handle is similar to an iced tea spoon, but is usually decorative and elegant - some variations mimic large swizzle sticks, with a disc at one end. The shaft is typically thin and threaded so that the fingers can easily grip and rotate the spoon.[2][3]

[@zanderjohnson5959]

My family and I just back home from Casey a few days ago!

[@trfarmer3869]

The single needle with the bend on the end is a crochet hook.

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

Ok I never heard of this town- now it’s on my bucket list for sure

[@daveotuwa5596]

I know seesaw and teeter-totter are synonymous. It has leverage.

[@jasoninmichigan6078]

RIP Possum 3.... RIP Carpetbagger Mouse.

[@bettyschneider5268]

Yeah them big wooden Dutch Shoes! I have a tiny pair too! Lol 😂 ya i believe a seesaw is the same as a teeter totter! 🤹🛶🛰

[@lookfun7886]

That spoon is the one you see when a bartender stirs your drink.

[@Catto109]

Let's just appreciate he the travels the whole world to entertain us

[@rdmeenach]

What a cool little town. It must have a great local government.

[@alisongriffin337]

What a fantastic town, would love to visit and the gardens surrounding each object are so well kept. Well done absolutely stunning. Thank you for yet another brilliant video. Xxx

[@virginiawaggoner9150]

CUTE TOWN!!!

[@coastercouch4079]

According to their website you did miss the world's largest gavel. And other big things like the 'big pizza slicer' (it's on the other side of the street where the antler is) and a nicely done big rocket horse. :) Oh and a big anvil and horseshoe in the neighboor town Martinsville. Great episode!

[@marissalongtail3260]

Oh it's so Beautiful!!! The Worlds Largest Crochet Needle. It's the one by the knitting needles, it only has one needle Crochet uses one needle, while knitting uses two.

[@melisagilbert4486]

I more than thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you! What a fun time! 🥰

[@meganryanodonnell]

"ughhhh this isn't even really good cheese" Dang I love these videos.

[@Js77226]

Love you homie

[@apfelbasket]

Starting off the day in the State of Elinois. Yeah it's not an E but an I!!

[@hollypierce3076]

In the knitting store, that was a crochet hook!

[@hannahlitman3268]

i was there the same day you were and saw you filming this. i saw myself in this vid too lol

[@Rewind321-]

Awesome 👍😎👍

[@elizabethmckenna5397]

I have to say I really enjoyed this Vlog. A lot of fun

[@megaboombox1]

RIP possum 3 , other than the demise of possum 3 this was a great video.

[@melissawinstead8701]

You do look like the book worm. This is a neat video..really enjoyed it. You should do more videos like this one

[@jimbutler2952]

A teeter tottering is one the goes up and down like that one in Casey or your school playground, a seasaw is one that comes with your backyard swing sets the go back and forth like a saw

[@sunlitegodis]

Omg- I really thought that a teeter-totter and a see-saw were interchangeable to describe a “teeter-totter” going up and down. Now that you put “sea-saw” I can completely understand why that would be used for the swing set contraption. The action is very much like a saw and I always felt like the movement had a rowing/sea-like aspect. AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN’T THINK IF THAT IS WHAT I CALLED IT WHEN I WAS A KID. Why can’t I remember if I knew this difference? I’m getting old! Do they even make these for playgrounds and backyard swing sets? They used to be all metal or wood with metal. And it’s so true kids did not care about safety it was about having fun.

[@luanncrownover4]

This was fun! That mailbox would make a great tiny home!

[@vegasgold1145]

Fun concept for a video!

[@vickiechandler3112]

Finally got to stop here last year...fun place . We missed a few things and had a reluctant teen who was no fun and didnt want to get out of car to pose but not like they are going anywhere we can always go back and maybe they will have more

[@BigHoss920]

.13:33 ----Classic Car Alert! Love the bible verses!

[@bg199083]

I definitely think that the bookworm looks like you Jake. All it needs is a hat, an Anna version of a bookworm, and his crocs.

[@garycarpenter2980]

Love to see roadside attractions,that's what makes America great just to see what's out there and lord knows I need to get out and see places like this

[@terryrobinconner]

I live just south of Casey IL it’s a great town.

[@elbum89]

I’ve only ever known it as a seesaw. It’s a crochet hook.

[@twenchtowers3894]

The bookworm needs some sideys. And yes a see-saw is the same as a teeter-totter.

[@officialjaxx111]

what if there was a town that had small things in a big town? just a thought

[@SageArdor]

Kyoto, Japan. Tiny things have been trendy there for years.

[@CRG_AMK]

You just broke the matrix

[@conniecrawford5231]

That is so sad to see Paul so world weary!

[@conniecrawford5231]

Many nurseries and attractions have “ fairy gardens” and I breed small show dogs! I love miniature “ things”!

[@howiegruwitz3173]

Little Bigtown?

[@TheKimbin1985]

If you ever come to Australia you should check out our big things like the Big Banana, Rocking Horse, Merino sheep, Prawn, Koala, Ant, Apple, guitar, Pineapple and heaps more. I am so tempted to do a giant months long road trip of big things one day

[@Cherocana]

One of my favorite episodes! Your commentary had me rolling! 😂 I must go there!

[@KimDill41]

Enjoyed the video ! Thanks for taking us along to see these giant things. Keep up the amazing work. Love your videos.😉

[@SnowflakeHenri]

[@SpringoStar]

Teeter totter and a see-saw are the same :)

[@pika23]

My local area in nj had a king kong for young's appliance. Like Mighty Joe Young

[@DeeTrice-Williams]

When you went to the store with the knitting needles and you looked over to the right that's called a crochet needle, instead of using two needles you use one to crochet into to knit so it's a crochet needle.
