Before I lose my one last marble.
Tell me how to make a chicki-chong kite!

Tallman · « **Reply #37 on:** May 25, 2009, 05:14:01 PM »

All yuh need is some copybook paper. Use one sheet for de face of de kite. Take ah next piece and start tearing it from around de border (from outside to inside); dis go be de tail. buss ah hole at de bottom of de first piece; take de tail and tie it through dat hole. Den take some thread and pass it through ah lil hole at de top of de first piece and den run down de road as fast as yuh could witout falling down.

Maybe somebody else could come and explain it so it make sense

no brown paper, but funny you should ask as I am actually using a trinpad copybook right now. In fact, I do all my important calculations in trinpad copybooks.

all yuh trying to get me put out.
The little woman demanded a chiki-chong and all yuh talking copybook and youtube. It was an emergency request...

Anyway, we put something together and run up and down screaming AIYO!

The neighbours looked out and shook their heads but we din mind. It was fun except for when one of my trees jumped out in front me and knocked me silly...

A good day was had by all.

Thanks for the info and YES, T'Man, out up a youtube for people like me who have long term memory loss.

Yeah trinity, the bottle on the thread was called mange.

Offcourse it wasnt just bottle on the thread, u had to use something to stick the crushed bottle on the thread......thus dog shit mange was born

. For those who wasnt so adventurous, yuh coulda use boil rice or dasheen or even eddoes to make yuh mange.

After the days of the type writer, men start to use video tape as tail to make they largie.
The kinda kite paper u getting now real thin and cheap.....and for some reason they cant be folded symmetrical to be cut. Like is rejects they selling now.

Anyhow, how much of allyuh know bout:

boiled flour paste?
using thread instead of scissors to cut the kite paper?
what happens when yuh kite: Shookshak, Tush and it carping?
