You ever wanted to sit atop a throne made out of old keyboards and yell at the internet to do your bidding? Me too, and now at least one man can because Mike DeWolfe just made one. Just don't expect the internet to ever do what you say. You there, lowly interwebs -- bringeth thy king a mushroom pizza and grape soda, posthaste. "Up yours, GW!" See?

"It is constructed from 20+ computer keyboard mounted to a chair. The keyboards and have been shaped and melted to follow the form of the chair, the shape of the user, and to meld together into a combined whole."

Reminds me of when I used to keep my brick phone in my back pocket and whenever I'd sit down I'd accidentally call someone in my phonebook. They'd be like, "Hello?

Hit the jump for shots from all angles.

    Console font is the brainchild of Dutch graphic designer Varun Vachhar. Now I know what you're thinking, and no, those aren't just a bunch of squiggly lines. That's the alphabet. You know, the thing you would have learned in kindergarten if you weren't too busy gluing your h... / Continue →

    The undeniable pinnacle of computer peripherals, the Fast Fingers keyboard is a $20 example of the opposite of that. It does allow you to choose between a standard QWERTY keyboard layout and an alphabetically ordered one though. But is that all? NO SIR, BECAUSE IF YOU ORDER ... / Continue →

    Unless they were keyboards of his enemies and melted together with dragon fire, I don't care.

    put a blacklight over that thing & I bet it glows like the floor in a peepshow booth

    Think about how dirty between the keys a normal keyboard is.. now multiply that by chair.

  • He should've used those keyboards to reinforce his plywood door (2nd pic)...

  • so a guy that lives in a trailer park with $15 to spend at the thrift store just to have some asdfg keys stuck up his ass is worthy of a story?
