Too Cool Not To Share

[Grainger49]

Ok, it is nerdy but I think this guy has too much money and too much time on his hands.  Nice Hot Wheels (something I never had) and N-Gauge model RR stock.

What a setup!  And I thought I spent a lot of time building amps.  That's a whole 'nuther level.

Grainger, thanks for sharing.

It is just another sickness like tubes but different.

I'll see your city and raise you a Wunderland

Ah, yes!  I have seen that one.  I watched again and saw a dual articulated steam locomotives in the US section.  I think Big Boys (4-8-8-4).  It is truly incredible!

There is a new video too:

Come to think of it there is a video I have seen of the airport alone.

Truely incredible stuff. A ton of time and money. Once again showing most anything is possible with enough time and money. Luckily Bottlehead gear requires a lot less of both.

HaHa, yeah to me, I think it shows that the world is not in THAT bad a shape when people can feel free to pursue their passions to whatever extent they wish... stuff like this makes the world a better and much more interesting place.... and now I am going to show this to my parents and ask (demand to know) them just why I ONLY got about 5 hotwheels when I was a kid???. And that I could have made something like THIS in their living room for them to enjoy!!!!  Man, I tell ya, parents just don't understand...!!!!!

what if somebody gets a flat?

a little OT. I found these at the local Target.

 

[Grainger49]

I'm not familiar with these.  But a "Hello Kitty" and microwave in the same sentence makes me think of a bad urban legend.

Pretty nice.  The Burden dude is nuts but the kinetic car thing was cool.  But for me, the Wunderland was frigging awesome.  That's the best train set I've ever seen.  Glad I'm satisfied with computer sims, I can't afford another hobbie, had to sale my Yamaha guitar to fund my last round of audio 'upgrades.'  I can't imagine how much those little trains cost, much less the infrasucture.  Yeah that was too cool!

 

[Chris]

HEY MAN!!!! You dudes makin' fun of my microwave!!!!?????

 

[elcraigo]

Now I can't decide -- should I get my daughter the Hello Kitty microwave or the Hello Kitty AR15?

 

[Chris]

i added obligattos, tantalums and a silver power cord to my hello kitty.. it makes a MEAN baked potato now.... all it is missing is the love juice from wendys.... 

 

[Paul Joppa]

Too cool! I love the idea - the power transformer in microwaves is the cheapest, crappiest, most inefficient POS part imaginable; where are the upgrade power supplies? Think of the subtle umami flavor nuances we are missing! What's the point of high-end ramen if you have a mass-market microwave?

 

[Chris]

Hahaha yeah.. A call to Mike maybe??  But he will have to make a Batch of "MagneQuest Inside" stickers, to enhance pride and marketability.....

 

[Grainger49]

I did laugh out loud.  There should be small but obvious "MagneQuest Inside" stickers included with each piece of iron from MQ.

 

[Chris]

Good idea, Carver and Acoustat had the Monster cable stickers... and yeah haha Grainger, the title Hello Kitty, and the fact it is associated with a microwave appliance...hahahaha does sound like some very cruel old (legend) joke... I think THAT is the funniest of all, a microwave with a commercial name of HELLO KITTY!  where the hell is PETA and PENA (People for Ethical Naming of Appliances) on this one!!!!!!

Post this on the Magnequest Bottlehead corner!

 

[Noskipallwd]

Wait a sec., is that a real microwave? Not an easy bake oven type thing. Makes me think of some really bad oriental restauraunt jokes as well! What marketing firm came up with that?

Cheers,
