Bling-Box
Jewellery box appropriately designed for tacky bling | |
My mother used to keep her jewellery in
a
box which contained a ballerina figure,
who would spin slowly in sync with the
benign tink, tonk music, when the lid
was opened.
Bling-Box is an updated version of this
container, suitable for storing the tacky
baubles of a fashionable, metro-man.
When you flip open its lid, a downwardly
facing woofer, hidden under the box,
begins pumping out a relentless bassy
rap, but it has other hidden delights to
compliment the theme.
Instead of the demur ballerina, a pole
dancing figure twirls into animated
action
as the contents of the box bounce up
and
down in response to the throbbing beat.

+ but I'm thinking it should have some rapper pop out of the top. |
|

Not a body piercing idea? |

|
| |
haha, no. It's so nobody can snatch your jewelley. |
|
| |
As opposed to jeweling their... never mind. |

Now, does anyone have any ideas for a device to remove the beer left in one's sinuses after snorting it out one's nose? |
|

cool [jutta], a rappin' jack in the box?
(btw, this idea was just lying around until I churned it with Pop goes the rapper.) I know [xenzag] is happy because he deserves it! |

I would suggest a straw, perhaps a Shop Vac. |

I kinda thought from the title that this would be like an old-fashioned raccoon (sp?) trap for catching chavs, which was basically a cage with something shiny in it. There's a hole in the cage big enough for a raccoon's paw to fit in, but not big enough for the shiny object. The theory was that the raccoon wouldn't let go of the shiny object once it had grabbed it, so it would be stuck until it let go, which it never would. |

I think it was for raccoons.... maybe I'm thinking of the wrong animal. |

In motivational speaking and in the book "The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", that configuration is a "monkey trap". (With the specifics of the monkeys and trap setters varying the way they do when people make stuff up.) A racoon trap similar to what you describe existed, but relied on a sharp nail to get the racoon stuck. |

Ah, that's right! I remember reading about it first in the book "where the red fern grows" many years ago, but I couldn't recall the exact mechanics of the trap. Thanks! |
