Jul 16 2009*Ring* Hello -- Death?: Novelty Skull Phone
I honestly thought novelty phones went out of style when people stopped using land lines, but hey, maybe your grandparents want a damn skull phone. That's cool. Just don't let them get on the interwebs lest they hand their life savings over to a Nigerian prince. Anyway, the $25 Thriller Skull Phone from Brando is available in white and metallic copper finishes and has blue LED eyes that light up when the phone is ringing. Sadly, it's not even cordless. WHO THE HELL STILL USES CORDED PHONES? Fun fact: I saw a payphone the other day. Did you know we still had those? Me neither. There was a hooker standing nearby and everything.
brando's thriller skull phone: so this is what happened to skeletor [technabob]
Thanks to FDSY and cakey, who make all their calls the old fashioned way: by yelling.

BAH
when I die I instruct people to make a cordless novelty phone out of my REAL skull.

I always keep a corded landline around incase the power goes out. Like it did for 7 days last September. This would be a welcomed change to the old one i currently have.

The one on the right is for black people.

That's funny, I just remembered what I dreamed about: I was using an iPhone, but it detected my hand gestures and if I held my hand to my face in the form of a fist with my thumb sticking out to my ear and my pinky to my mouth, I would be able to make calls. I know I got that from watching Denno Coil, but I can't decide if that's a cool way to make calls or not.

If the power goes out why not use a cell phone? Although I guess you would need to charge it eventually. If my power went out for seven days I'd start stabbing random people on the street...

The one on the right looks like the skull from House II: The Second Story.
@8
I was on the front porch with a shotgun. Damn kids kept off my lawn for a change.

Stompy,
You must be in Texas... am I right?!?
My power was out for 12 days due to the hurricane...
11. Timbo - July 16, 2009 11:25 AM
I've heard landlines actually run enough power for a small lamp...I could be wrong though...
12. Timbo - July 16, 2009 11:26 AM
I got my comments mixed up! I'm talking to GFS not stompy
13. Jerry - July 16, 2009 11:30 AM
Crap! Now I have to go and get a landline.

I can't even point out Texas on a map, even a map that shows the names of states, even if it is just a map of Texas.

GFS is in Cinci.
16. naas - July 16, 2009 11:45 AM

GFS - How cute, a corded phone for people who want to yammer in the dark!
... =D
18. ch4p3l - July 16, 2009 11:48 AM
GW - That wasn't a hooker, it was Stompy's mom...oh, uh, nevermind.
LSDiesel - Wouldn't it need a gold toof? BLING!!

That's not STOMPY's Mom. It's Goliath's drink stirrer...
20. monketron - July 16, 2009 11:52 AM
im so suprised that nobody has said that the skull on the right looks like terminator!!
the only things wrong with it are the blue eyes and white teeth. but a little led swap, and a sharpie and ill have a terminator phone!

I'm in Cincinnati. That same storm regained strength and hit us about 2 days later with 75 mph+ winds. It managed to fück shit up pretty good. Although, we didn't have nearly as much rain as you guys did.
22. naas - July 16, 2009 11:53 AM
poor STOMPY, everyone picks on your mom. I feel bad man, I do. It all started as a joke but now it keeps coming up & it's gotta drive you maad. That wasn't even provoked or anything but hey, when are they. I feel bad for laughing about it just now but I hope it goes away

She doesn't charge idiot, and if she charged you than you got ripped off!
As Obi-Wan would say, "thats no moon, thats stopmys mom". As general ackbar would say "It's a crack!", as they would say in the movie Jaws, "were gonna need a bigger boat"... i could keep going if you like
24. Jim Jones - July 16, 2009 11:59 AM
Seriously, who does use a regular phone anymore, let alone a novelty one? And if I list phone service for 7 days, I would rejoice.
25. ch4p3l - July 16, 2009 11:59 AM
SHE DOESN'T CHARGE?!?!?!?!? I want my slip and slide and that pack of Kools back!!
26. catch22 - July 16, 2009 12:00 PM
...as seen at a local spencer gifts near you!
27. Freddy K - July 16, 2009 12:01 PM
If this came out 20 years ago, it would have been the best freakin phone. Now its just, well... nheh.
Forget a skull phone. Thats been done. Need to push the envelope. I'm talking a twat phone.
28. JJtoob - July 16, 2009 12:04 PM
@23 Hmm, Ctrl-W, what does it.. Oh crap! ---------
29. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 16, 2009 12:58 PM
@27
Would you have to use your tounge to dial?
30. scurl - July 16, 2009 1:39 PM
this reminds me, i need to redo our phone wiring. the rotary in our kitchen is crackling every time i dial. i can't possibly be the only person here who knows what the phone number was at his house in 1940...(es 3-2166)
also, wow a skull phone, this'll look great next to my nascar, mickey mouse, and 3' long double ended dildo phones. ok, i fib, i don't have a nascar phone. also, this skull phone sucks.
@11 yes, you can do all sorts of wonderful things with low voltage line, including sending lethally high voltages...but that really only works once.
@27 no thanks on the twat phone, my ear gets wet enough just from sweat.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. you can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly liek that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and baja had a contest to see which of them was the master of their domain. Max's friend george thought it wasn't fair to include a girl in such a contest, but she went to the same gym as a handsome fellow who wasn't qualified to fly on instruments.
33. BakaFishy - July 16, 2009 9:11 PM
I wonder if it still rings like a normal phone or if it has a weird skullish ring when someone is calling.

Only GW would notice a pay phone by a hooker.
BTW: True story, I fell down an open manhole because I was staring at a hooker, she was texting and fell in too.
