DIY Projects

June 16, 2007

Greetings, Earthspawns. To keep myself busy during the summer (when I’m not vacationing or at “work”) I’m going to give myself a task of doing on DIY project per week. This week, although school’s not officially out, I did two things.

My first project was a great success. Take a look for yourself.

 On the outside, it it a boring book that nobody will read…

*Gasp!* on the inside, the pages have been removed so I can hide all manners of contraband inside it. I’d be like Neo from The Matrix, or that guy in the Shawshank Redemption. I was originally going to use Fahrenheit 451, but that would be ironic.

As an additionall note, I think I pinched a nerve in my thumb halfway through doing this. Now my whole hand feels like it’s getting shocked whenever I put too much pressure on my thumb.

 This next picture was a not so successful project. You know how necessity is the mother of invention? Well, my sister flicks water at me with her hands every time she washes them. It pisses me off, and she doesn’t understand the meaning of “please stop” or “Stop!” or “Quit it or I’ll shove my foot so far up your ass, you’ll be throwing up my shoes!”

I needed away to combat the annoying water-flicking without maiming her, or going to jail. My solution? This:

No, it’s not a redneck pot pipe. It a series of cut-up pens hot-glued together so I’d be able to shoot water from my mouth through the pipe and hit her in the face with unprecedented accuracy. I thought that adding that kick in the middle would increase the water’s velocity so I could spit farther. Alas, like most days, science was not on my side. The water came out in a weak stream (ha!) and barely went a foot away from me. Oh well. I bet that thing would still rule at shooting peas at people.

 If you can think of any projects for me to do, feel free to drop a couple on me. I’m all ears. Or eyes, since this is the internet.

    Hi DT,
    I think you should try your hand at your own custom water gun. You could attach it to the hose and really get the big sis back.

    If I come up with more, I’ll let you know.

    make it a little shorter, that should improve the tragectory.(sp).
    as for the “book” that’s brilliant! now you can hide your illegal weapons and emergency dope stash! LOL just kidding. but whatever you use it for, NO ONE will look there, trust me.

    my mom used to hide her favorite icecream bars by wrapping them in butcher paper and labeling it “liver”
