Napkin Sketches Prove There's a Little Inventor in All of Us
Posted by Adam Frucci at 3:00 AM on July 9, 2008
Last week I asked you to send me napkin sketches of your brilliant gadget ideas. The sketches I received ranged from good ideas to bad ideas to flat-out horrible ideas. It's safe to say that no time machines or gadgets that'll make you attractive to ladies are suddenly feasible because you did a poor drawing of one on a napkin. Sorry! Hit the jump for the top three winners.
Winner -- Most Delicious
Winner -- Most Ambitious
Winner -- Most Illegal

@DarkZrobe: Space is a vacuum. That might be worse. Could you imagine if the other end of the Fleshlight is floating in space? And since I don't really recognize "the line" everyone keeps speaking of: can you imagine your innards being sucked out through your pecker? It'd be worse than getting caught in a glory hole at a Waffle House outside San Antonio. So I've heard.

Does the stargate fleshlight double as a home circumcision kit?

Err... You know that is probably the line for the stargate fleshlight thing...
Send "it" off to space, no cleanup needed...
I hate myself.

@Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!: So would you sell the Fleshlight in pairs? Or kind of just hope that whatever you're putting into the Fleshlight doesn't end up in the middle of some battle. Cause that might be painful. I'm thinking you can dual market it to women as a toothbrush...

@michaelwiggins: The dog ray gun was great.
I have a tagline for your marketing of the ray gun:
"No more messy clean up after pummeling your neighbors dog with buckshot!"

@kOtic: Agreed. It's both incredibly funny, and very well drawn. And it doesn't even need batteries... you just shake it.

I started making one, but I was going to make it a cartoon drawn on hundreds of napkins... needless to say I lost interest after the 6th frame.

The Stargate flash/fleshlight is a object that appeals and satisfies the same consumer base.

@Hectorvex: Features include the new patented Safety-Lock(tm) pairing measure which keeps both companion units in constant sync, and operates based on environmental conditions (will not turn on if only one unit is in a zero atmosphere environment). To prevent sudden cut-off of both the connection and your package, no single device can be turned off when an object is still detected in the ring of the gate, and no device will function unless the power reading is at 50% or higher for maximum protection.
Venereal disease contraction, stolen companion gates and injury to genitalia due to unauthorized use of companion units are not the responsibility of Kaiser & Co. Ltd.
