real monocycles and fake pistols

[eliyes]

A monocycle is not a unicycle. With a unicycle, you ride above the wheel. With a monocycle?

You ride inside the wheel. Check out how this thing was built. That man is brilliant.

Much less expensive DIY: repaint NERF stuff! I feel an opportunity to make awesome laser tag custom guns is out there, waiting to be seized!

Those work. This doesn't, and I doubt it plays music anymore, but it's kinda pretty...

I think that last link killed random_redshirt.

She's over here, alternating between amused and offended.

That was pretty much my reaction to it, to, in fact.

That monocycle is awesome. The NERF stuff? Also awesome.

...I really, really hope that clarinet is plastic and not wood. It's better than the ones that get turned into desk lamps, I suppose.

I can tell you right now it's 99% likely to be wood. My only hope is that the side we can't see had a crack in it or something, so they decided that it couldn't be fixed to play and recycled it for Art. :/

(Hey, I played trumpet (and flute). You don't even wanna know the things I've seen done to trumpets.

Poor, unsuspecting trumpets.)

...trumpets? The poor things!

They're made of brass (often) and have valves -- it was inevitable, alas. ;~;
