May 30, 2007: Yummy candy keyboard

Undertoad · 05-30-2007, 03:36 PM

Axlrosen points out this Boing Boing post in which Xeni Jardin has documented this item via a BB reader. This isn't a candy keyboard at all; it's a keyboard which lived (sorta) through an arson fire, not on fire just melting. So it's turned into a thing of beauty, of sorts.

It's...not...a...

I want my money back.

This is the second IotD in a row that's made me think of the lyrics "my love, do you ever dream of, candy-coated raindrops?"

What? Just another flamer's keyboard?

Flint · 05-30-2007, 04:00 PM

That's what my keyboard looks like after I finish with a hot date, I mean debate. A hot debate.

I think I'd still try to eat it.

Must be time for supper...

I don't think we should be teased with promises of CANDY in ANY thread! I was really looking forward to a Snickers bar or Mallow Cup or something!

now I have to go eat frosting...

They look more like rocks, to me... an early caveman computer.

Exactly what I was thinking. Little pebbles that someone very carefully painted the letters on....

Pebbles that have been Bam-Bam'd?

Have y'all seen the Steampunk Keyboard? (The link is a step-by-step of how it was modded...)

That's really cool. I would love to have one. Anachronistic.
