Misson Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Brain: "Behold, I can create fire from a little box." Cannibals: "So what?" "Big deal." "Let's eat 'em." Brain: "I can steal your souls and put them in this glass." Cannibals: "So what?" "Big deal." "Let's eat 'em." Pinky: "I can make bubbles with my spit." [the cannibals gasp and begin to bow] Brain: "Now do you believe we were sent by your god?" Alan the Cannibal Leader: "Naw, that's just really cool." I occasionally bring up this decorating magazine domino that I signed up for for free on Amazon.com because they usually have approximately one interesting thing a month in there (IMO). This month, they had a picture of a chandelier that's just really cool. Of course, there's costs $3000 and won't be released until fall of this year (which is just absurd - usually their products aren't quite this absurdly priced...) However, I may make one, if I can find a place to put it. (It has a tall profile, so it needs to go in a room with a high ceiling). Anyhow, without further ado...

Matusalem Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 i want one! Except with mine, i want servo motors connected to it so they can articulate, and maybe even walk. i like my lighting fixtures to move about the house like they do at a Peter Gabriel concert.

Capt Thighbiter Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Lets see, those lamps run about 79.00 in an industrial supply catalog X 14 lamps = 1106.00 for lamps, plus cost of the steel ring. Drill the ring to accept the lamp bases, add 5.00 for a rattle can of black krylon. Oh and wire it together. Wow nice profit margin! Servo motors or some sort of cam system, to leep them in constant motion... now THAT would be cool!

Silkie McDonough Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Woah ...looking at Kings Pyrate's thread titled "Another Piratehouse project" Came across Lady Alex's post about the junk Brothers on HG TV This lighting fixture it seemed to fit this subject.

Silkie McDonough Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 On the Elvis lamp ...I actully nearly bought one of those but they wanted $25 bucks for it. You ask why in heavens name would I want an Elvis lamp. I shall tell you: When I owned a home in Pittsburgh I had a basement that was what I call semi finished. In the first section of the basement was a TV and 2 some very horrific decor. I thought that the Elvis lamp would clash wonderfully with the orange, black, blue and yellow plaid fold-away love seat and the vinyl mustard colored scoop chair.

Merrydeath Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Gives Silky a bit hug, just because she can! I think it would be cool if you could set an engine on one of the lamps to move on a remote, so it looked like the one for PIXAR films. Imagine the looks you would get when the lamp moved after you 'fixed' it. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss. Capt of the FOOLS GOLD PIRATES BLAST BREAST CANCER!

Think Shelob from LOTR. Yet another reason to like it. Think about how cool it would be over a meeting table or in a library. Everyone could pull a lamp down to the position they wanted it.
