Mar 16 2009Steampunk Frankenstein iPod Victrola Thing
I have no idea what you're looking at either. But whatever it is, it's looking back. Apparently it's some sort of custom iPod Nano (1st gen) case and docking station. I SAID STOP STARING AT ME. That's it, where's my laser pointer?
The design is inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The "eye-Pod" can be worn on the wrist via the leather cuff, or placed on it's custom Victrola base. Music can be heard either through the Victrola horn or though a portable personal hearing apparatus (in progress).
All functionality of the iPod remain intact an a hidden USB cord retracts from the base to either a wall charger or your computer. There are hidden pressure plates that when touched send a strobing "static charge" into the quartz crystals on either side of the magnified viewing portal.
Cool. Lose the eyeball and I would proudly display it my living room. Just kidding, I wouldn't touch that thing with your penis. It's just not my style. But you know what IS my style? This Members Only jacket. You smell that? It's called freshness, son. Whoa -- except for that, that was partially digested Kid Cuisine. Sorry.
Hit the jump for a couple more of that oldschool joint.

"Eye... ain't got nobody..."
"Eye get no kick from champagne... ooooh oooooh."
"Eye can't stop lovin' you"
"Eye'm not your steppin' stone"
"Build me up, Buttercup."
Eye know they're bad. For an eye sore, this thing sounds pretty cool.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max told all his co-workers that he was rooming with 3 women, leaving out that it was his grandmother and her friends. Later when he forgot his lunch they showed up at his office and all the guys thought he was sleeping with 3 old ladies.

This looks awesome! I would totally poke that eye out though. I don't like being stared at.

15. Buddy Love - March 16, 2009 4:16 PM
Yeah because you're an expert on all things steampunk, right? Oh wait, no just an expert on ghetto. My bad.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max put a dollar in a fortune telling machine and wished to be big. He ended up growing, getting a kickass job, and a hot piece of ass,and a loft in manhattan. He then wished to be small again. About 20 years later he got a crappy job, a fat ugly girlfriend and a crappy apartment in tenafly. He rememberred the salad days of his youth and cried.

I won't make any jokes about eye patches anymore.I know that people with a serious reason to wear a eyepatch don't like these jokes.My humble excuses!

I actually am a friend of the artist who made this...in person it is quite impressive...and as an added cleverness, it actually plays the song "always look on the bright side of life"
