I put my first instructable up!

[rmd]

instructables.com is a site for sharing instructions for how to do, well, nearly anything. i'd only been a consumer of it until today. today, i finally made my first slideshow, since i finally finished one of the more absurd objects i've made lately: a pink crocheted gun cozy.

Happiness is a warm gun

That just seems so, so wrong.

But I'm a guy.

[rmd.livejournal.com]

oh, it's full of wrong. also, *wow* did it end up looking way more obscene than I'd expected it to. I mean, yeah, guns are phallic symbols, but GOOD LORD THAT LOOKS PERVY.

[metagnat.livejournal.com]

That's cheerfully bizzare. I like it. It does look totally obscene, though.

Yeah, heard you were nearly finished. I think it's fab...

[feste-sylvain.livejournal.com]

You so totally rock on toast.

[donnad.livejournal.com]

That is very silly, but also very creative.

And yeah it starts out looking rather...phallic. :) especially in pink.

[kimberlogic.livejournal.com]

That is oddly cute. And you completely rock, babe.

[kimberlogic.livejournal.com]

The picture with just the tip covered is particularly amusing. But hey, I love c .... crochet.

> GOOD LORD THAT LOOKS PERVY.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought so!

[i-leonardo.livejournal.com]

that cozy looks a lot like a Roman Catholic condom (uncomfortable, but ineffectual).

[pale-chartreuse.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to seeing an uncircumsized version.

I'd tell you that you're an incredible dork, but you have a Smith & Wesson.

[sensesurfer.livejournal.com]

you rooooooool

[preraphaelite.livejournal.com]

This is so going to make the rounds at work.

[whitebird.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha. That's great.

[corivax.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[gayathri.livejournal.com]

*snicker* I have one too, it hasnt stopped you from calling ME a dork!

(R, love love love it. Love also the response on instructable.com from people who really know better then we all about guns and making them fuzzy...)

Because a phallic symbol looking like a phallic symbol is somehow bad.

[tinyankletbells.livejournal.com]

Wow. It's not every day you see something that manages to be both obscenely phallic AND yonic, and holds a gun to boot. Nice one, rmd!

ETA: Hey, Safari's and LJ's spellcheckers both recognize "phallic" but not "yonic". What's up with that?

[kjc.livejournal.com]

Hee hee!

[flabosib.livejournal.com]

Honey, why did you make a pink gun cozy?!?!?!

You have often confused me with some of your "projects" but this one's a hoot!

Should I be worried about you?

[rmd.livejournal.com]

heh, nope. i did it because it was the most absurd thing i could think of to make at the time.

and the handgun normally lives unloaded in a locked strongbox -- i like making loud noises and holes in target paper, but i'm all about the safety. although i may have to buy a shotgun; i went shooting trap (like skeet, but the clay frobs get flung directly away, not side to side) a week or two ago and it was really fun.
