Thank you (Thaank yuuuu)

[@lissachocolate]

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.

[@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.

[@calsavestheworld]

If there's a guy in the mailbox, the flag should be up.

"No it does not look like you, Carpetbagger! Worms are GREEN!" -My 3-year-old, with whom I agree.

[@Negative13Prod]

That’s a cool small town. Everything looked taken care of

[@freakishuproar1168]

_"And remember. Don't be SHEEPish, PIGscribe to The Carpetbagger."_ I wasn't already subbed, that alone would have sealed the deal for me... x3

[@zntenn]

i took my kids here on summer vacation after watching this video! lol It was a fun and covid safe trip! Thank you for showing us the cracks and crevices of the United States. That rocking chair is MASSIVE!

[@annettefain1907]

I live in Casey & you did a great job showcasing everything!

[@juliecalkins9694]

What happened to the worlds largest penny? We were there a year or two ago and it was in front of the bank. When we were there on July 18, 2021 no penny! :(

[@adventuresintvland]

You missed out seeing the World’s Largest Gavel in Marshall (town just down road from Casey)

[@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.

[@Norweeg]

“Twizzle me timbers” 🤣

[@badmoonrising-gotc2355]

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

[@silverghostcat1924]

OMG you're so funny 😆 That mouse trap 😂😂

[@aaronhannahswarms4682]

Carpetbagger!!! Thank you so much for doing this video! Means so very much to me and my husband (we are the ones that have been asking you on live videos to come here) I’m glad you enjoyed it and viewers enjoyed too! We love you and thank you again for going!!!!

[@marissakay83]

What a beautiful well kept town. 🤩

[@conniecrawford5231]

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

[@robmiller2189]

My daughter and I laughed out about the mouse trap.

[@sarakeith5480]

I do enjoy your style of vlogging Jacob!! I am really happy how your channel has grown over time!! I found through Adam the Woo!! Thank you, I appreciate all of your hard work in filming and editing!! Stay well!! Looks sort of like you!!

[@englishatheart]

Chill with the exclamation points. :-P

[@cowtownokla]

One of my favorites.

[@DocDoccus]

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

[@frog24get]

Very pleasant and fun little town!

[@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.

[@juliewojahn5828]

My husband and I have stayed in Casey twice and we love it!!

[@199Crypto]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@MissouriPenny]

What a charming town

[@melaniejenkins01]

My mom and I went there bc of this vlog. Thanks!

[@bigjohn3928]

Casey IL. IS one old looking town,I can imagine cars from the 1930s & 40s driving past those buildings,like time has stood still...

[@anniep7280]

Thank you for a very enjoyable video! Regarding the giant teeter totter/ see-saw, there was a rhyme for when you trapped the kid on the top. " Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown, what will you give me if I let you down?" After the kid trapped in the air promised you anything and everything, you would let them down. Maybe.

[@codiedavis1388]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@The_Pepper_Passion]

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

[@totalvamp792]

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

[@koolb3anz62]

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

[@julianacromey7151]

14:23 it's a crochet hook. 😁

[@MattIsTheCat]

We use a twizle spoon at Braums to mix the limeade and cherry limeade.

[@ericson0504]

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

[@jg_in_hd]

Drone!!! The old Carpetbagger lives

[@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!

[@jennymodgoddess]

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

[@terryrerecich3869]

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

[@sparrowspearl882]

Thank you for doing what you do

[@tigerann4941]

What a gift to that town!

[@jonnieters2306]

The spoon is used for stirring your tea after adding sugar

[@filipohman7277]

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

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

How small you looked in that huge mailbox. That was a crochet hook. Casey, Illinois is definitely a unique place. You did a really beautiful video of Casey, Illinois. I would love to visit one day.

[@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

[@MICKEY4356]

You would never lose that golf tee.

[@johnny85er]

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

[@mcwatersd]

Sorry about the loss of the use of possom 3 . That was such a charming community that knows the meaning of go big or go home. Great attractions (thats a crochet hook) Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.)

[@amandakohler8810]

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

[@SebastianLaCasaDePapel]

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]

[@ZachVlogsOfficial]

Glad to see you were able to visit!

[@ZachVlogsOfficial]

Rocking horse 🐎 inside jjet

[@hootpelican1172]

Well that was an exceptionally great tour of the artist's " big things ". BUT.... there is one other "big thing" here located in our county seat, in Marshall, IL. At the Clark County Court House. We have at the main entrance....." THE WORLDS LARGEST GAVEL".🔨😁

[@daveotuwa5596]

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

[@fussguss3011]
