Fred, even with the cheapo filters, over time, the ducts will get like this

Glenn, I thought that it was you, me and Steve :)

Lizette, stick your camera down a heat register----you might be surprised what you see :)

Those are some mitey large ghosts!  Enough of those, and, well, you could hear a ping or a pong now and then.

Come to my basement and you can hear ping pong a lot!

There can't be any air blowing through that vent. Looks to have been dormant for many years.

Joni, I don't think I know who VB is :)

Jay, you play ping pong inside your ducts?

Steve Pumpkinhead Smith---are you sure?

Scott, you would be amazed at how often "functioning" ducts look like this or worse

We be having a table for that...

Now how can Steve go from being a carry-along Halloween costume to a Pumpkin Head?  I simply am not sharp enough to understand...  Now, Headless Horsemen I do understand.  Didn't he have a pumpkin in his arms?

Jim, I would run a pole but getting people to stop laughing long enough to vote would not be happening

Jay, that Steve is a magician

Mr Charles,

The whole thread is insulating to me and the boss and it should be taken down.

Charles,

That is an all too familiar looking shot with the cobwebs, Though in the duct makes it better.
