Aug 10 2009Sure, Why Not?: Fireplace In A Tool Chest
The 'Mall Fire' by Ataria is a $5,400 tool chest (sans tools) that turns into a romantic ethanol fireplace whenever opened. Well, as romantic as a fireplace in a tool chest can be anyways. Which is very. And also why I just had one mounted in the bed of my truck. What do you say I spread a tarp back there and we make ourselves a little pool? Me, you, a box of wine and a pool with a fireplace. I'm sorry, am I being too romantic? Because I can't help myself. Bathing suits optional. For you. Me? I'm a nevernude.

Thanks to Julian, who knows a romantic evening when he hears one (nuclear hot wings and a titty bar).

Hot damn! I've been looking for a way to spend that extra $5,400 I had laying around!

Of all the things to combine a toolchest with.... a fireplace? Why?
Any burly person out there that's big on tools is better off with a COOLER in his crate FULL OF BEER instead of a fuĉking fireplace. That will get you laid a lot more than some fireplace.
A flat screen tv would be nice under the lid also

@Naas - Dude i would have a tv installed in the lid and play nothing but a 3 hour dvd of a fireplace. Rad to the order of Novelty Eagle Head!

@naas
This is clearly the best use of a tool box to date. If you are too close-minded to see that I pity you.
I will get all teh ladies with this fire box (like that? I'm going to copyright it)

@6 I was thinking the same thing on the fireplace video, just too lazy to add it before. I hate long comments(theySUCK) so I try not to ramble on, but shit man sometimes it's necessary because emphasizing on an important point it necessary to get acro See?
@7 figures you'd think that with the whole fire box thing you're all happy about

This is a tool box http://www.mactools.com/productdetails/tabid/119/c-23004-select-series.aspx
Can you see how it has drawers for tools? Can you also see that it looks nothing like the fire CHEST pictured above? Good. Because the best use for a tool box is to hold tools. That's why it's called a tool box. Now that we've cleared that up, this is the second best use for a chest. The first being stuffing your lifeless corpse into it. Which would effectively turn it into a tool box and starting the whole argument over again.

At first i thought it was a coffin. Then I thought it was a vampire. Then I thought it was a vampire coffin. Then i realized I think someone slipped mushrooms into my sandwich from lunch. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go catch my toes. Bastards are rebelling again...

I have to admit, your toes rebelling is the most amusing thing I've read all day. Best bet would be to take a fisticup to 'em.

Are you saying you can never be nude? Time for me to take off my receptionist skirt and put on my Barbara Streisand in the Prince Of Tides ass-masking therapist pantsuit.

It would be a lot more awesome if it was a coffin that turned into a fireplace when opened.
26. Pat - August 10, 2009 1:03 PM
@2 Why would a grill have a mirror? Though, granted, I do like watching my burgers cook.

I completely agree.... but what if you have a chest that you store tools in?? Would that be a tool chest? I'm confused. Must be all that bacon smoking.
Also twat.

Gw you weren't being too romantic, it was just perfect!!
gosh if only I was a couple months older, I'd be legal for you :( lol
31. LSD - August 10, 2009 2:50 PM
a fireplace -_-. why not have a toolchest/meth lab instead. much more usefull, and it can make you money back...as long as you dont light one up by the lab. lol

#29 I guess its like that, this darn work firewall won't let me see its awesomeness.

33. Ptentacle - August 10, 2009 4:05 PM
@30. That's creepy. No offense to you GW, but the thought of anybody being "legal for me" seems kind of disturbing. Perhaps they could just be "for me" and then we'll deal with the details later. Or maybe not.
34. Iris - August 10, 2009 4:16 PM
@33
I'd be considered "illegal" for him seeing as I'm 17 and he's like 28.

At first glance, that looked like a flaming coffin.
