Aug 28 2008USB Hub + Torn Up Graduation Gown = USB Hub Monster, Kids Afraid Of The Computer
Want to make your own USB Hub Monster? It doesn't look very hard. You just take a regular hub, add a bunch of USB cables with armature wire taped to them, and then tear up the college graduation gown you keep in the closet but break out every year during graduation and wear to the bars to score free drinks, tear that sucker up, wrap the hub and legs, and presto: a, um, USB Hub Monster! Add red LED eyes for a real monster-y effect. Or, add some beef flavor to make it something your dog will tear up, like it wasn't going to anyways.
Hit the jump for one more picture of the monster in use.

Thanks to SilverSided, whose USB hub came to life one night and had to be beat to death with a bedside table.

That gold ingot HUB is totally OLD! You didn't have commenters in 2006? That's sad. Good thing you kept at it cause look at you now; about 20 per posts! 9 if you take away the "First"s and the failed "First"s... 3 if you take away the "Old!"s... but anyway, good job.

yeah, go away ben. if you dont like it, then we dont like you. you hairless testicle.
5. Ben - August 28, 2008 12:21 PM
Are you saying that I AM a hairless testicle or that I HAVE hairless testicles? While both true, one of these was supposed to be a secret.

FiRTS!!
Have you guys seen the "cop slams a woman to the ground" video? It's one post down. Jump in, the water's fine!
What else.... oh yeah! Sorry for spilling the beans about your Hairless Testicularitis condition, Ben. It just slipped out in one of the previous posts...

@6 No way. People are screaming down there, pointing fingers and making socio-political comments about the human condition and authority in the new millenium. That's not what geekologie is about. I'll keep my USB Hub monsters thank you very much.
I did go there but only to help raise awareness towards my unique and most gross condition.

so then you DO like it. well the, we like you Benjamin. and your grotesque testicular condition. which could be adorable depending on the viewing angle.

That thing is horrifying. I would hate to wake up in the middle of the night, still half asleep, and see that thing staring at me from my desk.

there really is nothing like a shaved scrotum — it's breathtaking... I suggest you try it.

Shaven? No.. keep the sharp razors away from my man jewels.. Seeing as how I don't like to hack through a jungle nor do my female friends.. Clippers are much safer and still pretty close.
I know what your thinking. Yep, just what you wanted to know.. I use clippers on my testicles.

You guys are all posers. Just like those people who shave their heads when someone in their family gets cancer and they have to go to Key-Moe. If you really wanted to support those people who suffer from the horrendous disease Hairless Testicularitis, you would LASER that shit. My appointment is tomorrow to get my junk cleaned.
I support you Ben. We'll get through this together. Hey, how do you get yours so shiny?

@popadop
I have to wonder how and why you've been looking at ben's danglies to know how shiney they are....
ITS A TRAP!!!
USB-Flea monsters eat shiney testacles. so keep yours nice and hairy. if you've got'm, otherwise its the USB crab monsters you have to be careful of.
