If I Had A Million Dollars, I'd Motorize You Some Furniture, Maybe A Nice Chesterfield Or An Ottoman






Hmm. Looks like a loveseat to me. We need a ruling from the judges. The "motorized couch" title is on the line, after all.

Jeb Corliss got banned from the Empire State Building because he tried to jump off it. The rest of us get banned from places for throwing up on them.

Big Wheel Keep On Turnin'

The Only Question: Is There Any Way I Can Get One Of These Without My Children Knowing About It. I Hate Sharing


According to the website, which is written by persons long on tedium and short on TEH AWSUM:

This is the pedal-powered, ride-on version of a Linde 394 forklift that raises and lowers at its driver's command. Made in Germany, its lifting fork is raised by turning a hand crank and held into place with a locking lever, tilting slightly backward to keep an included plastic 6 1/2 lb.-capacity pallet stable, just like a real forklift. Pedals power the forklift forward and backwards with a precisely engineered chain drive, its integrated eccentric keeps the chain taut for efficient power transfer to the rear axle. The four plastic tires have rubber traction strips. Its squat, robust chassis is made from sturdy ABS plastic while its axles, steering rod, and pedals are made from durable steel. Its seat adjusts to a rider's height (maximum height of 55") and locks into place to keep children safe while riding; supports up to 110 lbs. Assembly required. Ages 3 and up. 41" L x 22" W x 51" H. (25 lbs.)

6-1/2 pounds is about a gallon of water in a pail, so the little shaver can definitely bring you a beer and chips on the the pallet, which I decree henceforth shall be called "dad's ambulatory end table."

Hmm. 320 bucks. Maybe we can sell the little one for medical experiments.

Little-Known Fact: Shaolin Monks Invented Planking




Maybe it's just me, but if I was going to take all those pointless blows to the head, I'd demand uniforms, cheerleaders, and shoe contracts. And shoes with laces, now that I think of it.

Little Known Fact: Chuck Norris Wears Chuck Testa Pajamas





If you're visibly inebriated, and need your cross-eyed leopard stuffed, Chuck Testa's your man. I wouldn't eat a hamburger at his house for all the tea in China, though.

Where Some See Only Calamity, Others See Opportunity

The Borderline Sociopathic Blog For Boys heartily recommends you mute this video while you watch it. There's no need to needlessly inflict Linkin Park on yourself.

Ooh, It's A Killer Machine -- It's Got Everything

A retired fisherman in Brasil isn't going to let a little thing like a lack of legs keep him off the highway.



That dude deserves a soundtrack:



Am I the only person that ever noticed that Ian Gillan couldn't carry a tune in a pail with both hands?

Needless To Say, The Notes On This Video Are In Japanese




Google Translate to the rescue: "We have created a new 4-DOF robot using a Lego Mindstorms NXT, I made a loop in combination with the previous GBC modules."
