May 23 2008Rolling Boombox Confuses, Befuddles Me
When I think boombox I think of an oldschool ghetto blaster you carry on your shoulder that eats D batteries like my girlfriend eats pies and cakes. I definitely don't think of any wheels. Are people getting too weak to carry boomboxes? I just don't get it. This thing looks like a pushable Segway. Which might just be the most brilliant invention I've ever heard of.
A couple more pictures after the jump, including one of a guy that is definitely in the running to win "Asshat of Memorial Day Weekend".

This would make a lot more sense if it incorporated a dynamo and pushing it would provide the power.

I think it's going to take a miracle for someone to beat this guy out for Asshat of Memorial Day Weekend. In fact, he's looking like a strong candidate for Asshat of the year.

LOL - Dude's a fuckin' nerd!!!

Hey Goob, it's just a concept. And the concept includes a dynamo
"My concept: Music box on wheels (inspired by the kid old and minimalist game- the hula hoop). Self support energy- batteries and dynamo, rechargeable, MP3 player."

It should at least double as a vacuum cleaner.

That picture makes me want to beat the shit out of the guy using that retarded looking cane thing.
I'm first in line to swap out my ipod shuffle for one of these things. I've seen a lot of useful thing on this site. from vagina fragrances to asshole shaped chocolates. . . this however is the most useful thing on the market . . . ever.

OMFG - I scrolled up after posting my last comment and caught another glimpse of that dude and had to reemphasize how big of a fucking nerd he is...

The chick looks like kind of an asshat too.

Where'd the term asshat come from anyway? Was there some really annoying individual who wore a hat on his ass? The word is absurd but whatever it's origin no doubt that guy is one.

Let's see what other mundane items we can throw wheels on and call an invention:
-a wetbar
-a towel rack
-a garage
-a gallon of paint
-a coffin
-one of those new fangled horse-drawn buggies
-two midgets
-a partridge in a peartree
-salsa
-Michigan
Of all of these, Michigan would work best, of course.

Long live the term "Ghetto Blaster"!!!! Ask any high school kid what that means and they will just look at you like "huh?".

@ Meaty Urologist---HAHAHAHAHA, Michigan. Loved it.
As for the AssHat Canidate in the pic.....um, I dress and act like that daily. Perhaps I should consider suicide.

All i know is if i was walking around pushing a boombox that looks like a super high tech edger for my lawn and music was emanating from it, I might have to use it in a defensive manner. Meaning if the crazy guy in the sandals and boonie hat don't go away I'm going to activate the blade that comes out of the wheel housing and cut his freaking head off. And to make things better, I will make sure something crazy like the Macharana is playing so every time someone starts dancing my body count goes up. "It was only self defense officer, I swear he was trying to rape me and steal my boombox."

Sorry, The Geekologie Writer. The rolling boombox has a purpose. It powers itself while it's pushed. I'm not saying it's practical, but try researching a bit before you post.

Her jeans are the best part. It's weird how both of them look straight up mid-90s... which I guess is pretty compatible with the invention itself. Check out bro's shoes. Yikes.
