Legion Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I really like the fact that you made a creative effort Davka, but I think that is absolutely horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davka Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I really like the fact that you made a creative effort Davka, but I think that is absolutely horrid. Isn't it, though? It's my answer to the ubiquitous trout-shaped mailboxes and barn-shaped mailboxes. You have to give me credit for refraining from writing "e-mail" on the front, though. I think that shows real restraint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davka Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Oh my GOD! Someone impaled that poor manatee with a mailbox!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted August 30, 2009 Super Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yeah, the manatee is kind of gross. Dolphins (porpoises) and pelicans are also popular. I guess the traditional Florida flamingo has been replaced. Still, none are as kitschy (and ugly) as Davka's mailbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Broke Free Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 The mailbox is absolutely hideous! I LOVE IT! Can I commission you to make one for me? Perhaps one where the television is always tuned into FOX News. The only thing I ever get is JUNK mail, it would seem appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps one where the television is always tuned into FOX News. The only thing I ever get is JUNK mail, it would seem appropriate. Actually, it's an old computer monitor. I didn't realize at first how much they look like TV sets. I plan to add a keyboard and a mouse tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughtyhamster Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 What a terrific idea for recycling a computer! How did you create this thing? Now I just need to convince my grandmother to let me take her 80's era TV and VCR and make them into a coffee table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think the "Blue screen of death" was a nice touch. As a Canadian watching America though a political window I'm developing a disparraging view of the common American's intellegence and this thread pours gas on that flame. "You all" must still have too much money! As of yet... we don't have beaver mailboxes - however inviting that may be to my friends down south. (All puns and allusions fully intended!)

Guest Davka Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think the "Blue screen of death" was a nice touch. Why, thank you. As a Canadian watching America though apolitical window I'm developing a disparraging view of the commonAmerican's intellegence and this thread pours gas on that flame. "Youall" must still have too much money! Too much money and too much time on our hands. Observe: As of yet... we don't have beaver mailboxes - however inviting that may be to my friends down south. Wow- with a little bit of fiberglass and spray-paint, and maybe a cheapHalloween beard, I could get myself arrested and divorced with a singleproject! Go ahead, Mr. Male-man, thrust that mail vigorously into the box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franko47 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Innovative, playful, entertaining, creative, and symbolically interesting. For these reasons I'm certain that it must violate some kind of postal law in your state. My attorneys will be in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hereticzero Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 An idea. You need a mouse! Attache the mouse to the side of the monitor with the cable leading to the red flag (maybe with a couple of eyelets). Stand the flag up by pulling the mouse down?

Guest Davka Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I hear ya, heretic. Thing is, I'm fresh out of spare mice right now. I'm sure I'll run across one soon though - I'm always ending up with old dead systems. If I add a mouse I'll post the pic here. I'm also considering impaling a mini-tower on the pole, but it's easier said than done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpheliaGinger Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 This is too funny. For the longest time, my mum had a cow mail box (or is male box?), but now she has a chicken on--a chicken complete with chicken shit all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
