[TheForge] Triangle dinner bell

[Darrell]

I learned this from another demonstrator.
When some one picks up the striker, stop them before they hit the bell. Tell
them "This is a Dinner Bell. If you ring it you have to feed any one that
shows up with a plate." It helps if you have a couple of neighbors with
plates to help out.
