But I'm still awake so it's not tomorrow yet 
THAT is what would have worked, if the folks in charge of ensuring my website works didn't provide often shoddy software. I'm going to pretend like I'm still in that time scale and reference of mind and continue where it crash off. And on that spaghettied path of thought, on with the blog... Repetition of joke, 2 drinks. Moller SkyCar M400£324,000 
The Stumbler Original Article Product Website The most astounding aspect of this contraption, besides the fact it's a mother loving Flying Car and it's ability to thus lumber any nerd/geek within viewing distance with a sci-fi technology-induced crotch-based immobility, is that it is in fact real. You can actually buy one of these 1970s comic book looking beauties for real-real. According to the Moller site, they do appear to have a history of research that would lead up to this sort of cool oddity. Their summarised records stretch from the first in their history of hovering autos, the XM-2 (watch it here), all the way through six iterations of development to the 275 mph going, 36,000 ft flying, emergency parachute having and surprisingly 20 mpg getting flying car. Sadly some reality to take in, however, after all my unnecessary hyperbole, is that it appears almost permenantly in development. I really wanted to write this article like I'd just found the thing because it's just a perfect little dream of so many and their whacky hopes of everyone flying about like the Jetsons looks so close I kinda forgot it's an american bunch of boffins who are probably constantly kidding themselves.I had read about it before, and oh I have drooled, but even then they had the price tag that now seems to have been replaced with a saddening 'Moller International is currently not taking deposits on aircraft.' on the Purchase page. If you'd still like to buy me one of these monstrous autogasms of comic books gone and futures to gloat during, I think the price last quoted by Moller was £324,000. However, based on the available videos , it could be a long while before we see these dreamer's revisioned hover cars doing 20 with an L sticker on them 80 feet in the air in Realityville. Cat Play House£14.67 
The Stumbler Original Article Product Website Yes it's a cat in a tank, awesomeness personified. And what's that further down? There is a cat - in a fire engine ? You make it yourself ?? Holy furballs Batman! The biggest joy here is definitely not to be had by the cat. This is clearly a toy for people who think their cats know more than any other cat has in the history of cats. It also assumes that the owner, on realising this amazing ability of a cat's, also unlocks access to it's dream automobile to be within. 
There is one primary item of concern I have with these two photos, apart from there being cats within completely immobile cardboard vehicles for almost no good reason. Both cats looks so fucking dispondant I want to cry on their cardboard prisons until they can step proudly through the mush back into the world of being a cat. Not a scared tank driver. Not a begging to be left alone fire engine chief. A happy, roaming about, licking it's junk and rubbing against things cat. Please don't buy me or my cats this, unless you plan to build and live in it yourself and actually perform the job linked with your vehicle for some sort of 'I Am Awesomness' photoshoot in The Face. Even then, me and my cat will be looking down on your worthless humanity from atop our mighty cat food bowls. What ? Condiment Gun£14.67 
The Stumbler Original Article Product Website Should I attempt to take the high road again with this review ? I cant, sorry, I love condiments, have just realised I have a weakness for blatently fake plastic guns shooting them and fear anyone reading the last one may have taken some of it too seriously. The gun reminds me of the toon gun from Who Framed Roger Rabbit so there's really no difficulty in thinking of it quite lightly in the first place, unless you know of people being harmed by cartoon mexican stereotype bullets (apart from mexicans). One possible concern I had worried about, until I went to the drinkstuff.com article where you can buy it, is having to clear it out and only having a single condimentper gun. This is taken car of so fittingly, it's a joy to imagine; you actually break the barrel of the gun and can replace 'cartridges' of various concertina bottomed condiment bottles. The gun comes with two cartridges of yellow and red and can be filled whatever condiment you like. As much as this is possibly the most plain of my reviews, you can definitely buy me this one, internet. It's not offensive to my cat and actually exists beyond my own meandering malformed journalise. Bring on the condiment gun! AAAAAAAHH Christmas!
There ends my review saga. I'm not sure how likely I am to be back on here before this year becomes last year so I wish you all a Happy Christmas, with or without the Jesus thing, and especially hope you gather with all the folks who should be making it special through whatever thoughtful or silly gifts you give each other and whatever terrible jokes you make to oil the cogs of sociability through that tasty christmas dinner. Have a fun one of all of that and my best wishes to you all for the new year! - Daniel p.s. It's my birthday on the 2nd of January so I might be back early to help you with that too. I know, I really do spoil you, internet. |
