If you build it, what will come

And today, this shows up.
The Good Vibrations table was created by Tim G Taylor as part of an art exhibition.
- Materials:
- one Lack side-table top,
- four ‘ultra-smooth lite-up multi-speed simulators”,
- one book ‘Great Railway Journeys of the World’.
The idea would be to have a traveling table at the exhibition, but it stayed in place. Rattling.
Obviously the choice of dildo is important. It has to be rather hard (ahem) to hold up the the weight of the table. But somehow the sight of the flexible ones, flapping about, trying to go around the floor would be amusing. Maybe tongues would be better (a telephone table to get tongues wagging!). Also the table being considered a “Lack” despite its clear endowment means that the artist is a very happy man. Something like this should win the “Filthy Butt Fun Award” from Maxi.
But I think I could go one better (even if I get weird looks from the TOG guys).
You see, one of the most popular hacks for Ikea products, is to make a multi-station charger for your phone, MP3 player, laptop etc.
Well why not a battery recharger.
After all the legs need something to keep going.
Maybe I should apply for a business idea grant. Is there a business to be made designing furniture like this? After all I can see an excellent horizontal Saint Andrew’s Cross being made out of four Norden benches and an Oddvar stool. Or would something like that be considered blasphemy?
take care,
and insert the batteries correctly,
Will Knott
