The most awesomest jambox ever. It has to be seen to be understood, so I won't try to explain it for you. Best to let it's creator do that. And don't forget to check out the making-of feature as well.
Man, that's like dipping a stick in sugar jar.........saaaaweet!

You know what I want to see? I want to see a Transformers movie, only the Transformers are all made out of plywood and late 70s/early 80s used car parts, and they do battle by breakdance-fighting to early hiphop!
I'd watch that movie.

A friend of mine will be receiving this link shortly. I expect by tomorrow morning he will have built his own much larger and more complicated version. Of titanium, or some exotic metal. From parts currently strewn around his workshop.
I can't wait.

Well, if you're a superhero you could shoulder it... the Thing would look rockin' carrying this down Yancy Street, hehehe...
stenseng, I'd watch that movie too.
That's pretty darn cool.

Q: why aren't people like this running our world?
A: they have better things to do with their time.

Excellent touches:
-Cupholder
-Blender
-8 track
It's the little things that count.

"The only real drawback to the Toyota cup holder is that you can't use the 8-track player while it's in use..."

I kind of just smiled and moved on at first, but going through all the options really kills. The 120VAC outlet. The cupholder. The video of the antennae coming out.
Yes.

A portable block party, if you ask me! But really, friends, what do we expect from the man who brought us Wanky the Safety Cat?

I had a pathetic red-headed stepchild of this set up in my room for a little bit, but never would I have dreamed up such a lovely creation, let alone make it REAL.
I would play with the antennae all day long.

So, "jambox". Where and by whom is that actually used? Second time in a week here, and it's freaking me out.

Come on. The cup holder CLEARLY BLOCKS the 8-track player. And there is NO 8-TRACK TAPE for demo purposes.
I demand a refund.

As the first person to tell cortex that it was a jambox (and being summarily made fun of by several people for it), I thank you, ninjew, for using the term. And for the link of course since it's a freakin' awesome jambox, but, yeah, whatever. JAMbox, mickey fickey.

I was sorta referencing Meatwad as well with the 'jambox'. Also I just like the word.
