Amazing Floating Tensegrity Chair

Khufu says...

a hammock or hammock chair rely on ropes too, probably save enough.. unless someone sneaks up behind you with a pair of scissors

Cool looking chair, but you're just 1 rope-snap away from visiting the proctologist.

True.

No we don't...some, like the president, never punish themselves, that requires empathy and a conscience. Not everyone has those traits.

We had a video of elderly on a seesaw recently that proves wisdom doesn't automatically come with age. ;-)

I'm ahead of the game then...I broke decades ago.

Mmmmmmm....hammock.

Yes, anger can be an excellent motivator. Focusing that motivation for good, that's the hard part.

Ok, sure, but the voices in my head aren't usually good company.

True, but you have that right. Really, I just like the line, I don't think of it as life instructions, just something funny.

If only we could transform it into electricity, we would be in an energy glut overnight!

If you wait for them to fall, 1/2 are lost to the dark side. It's totally prudent to give them a shove in the right direction while they're still moveable, imo.

Justice shumushtice. We all punish ourselves in one way or another.

With age comes wisdom.

We are all created to break.

Passion can cancel lazy if lazy is a problem. Sometimes you need to be lazy in order to operate a Pawleys Island hammock.

It takes practice and confidence to harness and transform the raw energy that anger brings. Anger in the right hands can be a gift. Anger does have a purpose. Everything has a purpose. If you don't know what the purpose is then you can create a purpose for it.

You don't need to be social. You can be part of a crowd all by yourself. You're right about the marches. I'm with you on that one.

Saying you've got a right to hate is misleading. Hate will slowly destroy you and others if you mishandle it.

You can't get rid of hate. You can only transform it if you choose to.

EDIT:

Don't be looking for those that are on the fence. Those that fall (break) will be looking for you.

What am I going to do? Honestly, probably little besides offering moral support and trying to convince those on the fence or in areas under siege which side the scales of justice SHOULD tilt towards.

I'm old, broken, lazy, quick to anger, I live in the boondocks, and I'm pretty anti social and hate crowds. Marches are not where I belong.

That's my hate, I've grown it from seed. Why do I have to get rid of it? ;-)
In the words of Petrus T Steel, "this is the United States of America, and you've got a right to hate who you want, so let's start busting heads!" ;-)

Dog Bites An Electric Eel

newtboy says...

Assholes. I hope that eel climbs into your hammock tonight and shocks you into a stupor..
Even if they didn't instigate this for the camera, which I think they did, they don't have to take such joy in the dog nearly being electrocuted. Assholes.

Orangutan Builds Hammock

Don't Sleep With Another Man's Woman

shatterdrose says...

Well . . . in her defense, the man in the banana hammock is pretty well built and the fat man chasing him . . . Yeah, I'mm gonna go with don't get caught by the fat man.

(Not to mention, if banana hammock isn't gay, then my whole reality is wrong.)

Don't Sleep With Another Man's Woman

Grimm says...

Why do I sense fakery here? He's wearing an assless banana hammock and a cowboy hat? The guy with the camera has enough time to realize what is going on, turn on his camera, point it to himself and announce "O dam hes naked look..you can see him running look.." turn the camera back and it then looks like they come running out of a house or alley half way up the street?

Is it a Tent or a Hammock? It's both.

spawnflagger says...

I haven't seen one of these in person, but my guess:
1) The ground is hard, the floor of this tent is soft like a hammock, so you wouldn't need to have an air mattress if you care about comfortable sleep while camping. Sometimes the ground is sharp - sticks, rocks, etc - you wouldn't have to clear an area below this tent.
2) regular tents really suck on wet ground if it's been raining hard- even if they are "waterproof"
3) animals - if you hang it high enough and use a rope ladder that you pull up, it's not likely that any animals will get in your tent because of food odor. (not saying it's bear-proof)

Disadvantages:
1) you need to have 3 strong trees to strap it to
2) it's probably heavier to carry while hiking than a regular 3-person tent, since nylon seatbelt-like straps are pretty dense.
3) if something goes wrong, it's gonna hurt when you hit the ground.
4) depending on weather, might be a lot colder than a ground tent.

They do say you can use it on the ground, so I guess really only #2 applies, depending on the situation.

Wife Wants Trout For Dinner

chingalera says...

His wife was excited to discover the secret of the trout whisperer's skill while picking scales out of her husband's swim trunks-The hammock would also have to be laundered.
