@hmm. Upcycling is such a buzzword. I decided to try to fit it in as a snarky comment.

I was just amazed at how people were able to turn a post about a night vision gadget into "America is evil".

Reminds me of the time I submitted that post about the giant crossword puzzle on the side of a building in Lviv in the Ukraine. And then people jumped on my use of "the" in front of the word Ukraine.

Btw-Night vision...still a gadget not a weapon. It may aid in the use of a weapon. But it can probably only do damage if you clock someone in the head with it.

I was wondering what happened to my coffee pot.
LOOK THEY ARE UPCYCLING!!! They should totally get an Etsy account and sell the hell out of that.

@ piotra.....Wait...you mean they also killed Ben Laden? Ben Laden from down the street? That'll teach him to leave out his trash cans after trash day.

I heart Shaun and Limbo.

@ Kaiser Tia - FTR - Night vision is not an instrument of murder.

@ Shaun - that image is going right into the folder that I have with the beautiful tracer pattern put down by an AC-130.

@Ted - they found Osama because he put his real address in his Playstation Network profile.

I am impressed. You have mad skills.

I just realized that this is narrated by the same guy who narrated the Beaver welcoming people to Canada. you remember the post...the one where people claimed animal cruelty before reading further.

Those complaining about this not being neat...I believe this falls into the "or ama".
And hey..at least this is not a dupe post either.

:D

Snap, someone beat me to the Chiclets comment.

LOL that made my morning!!!

The Topper was competing with Cushman, at the time. That was probably one reason for the toaster design.
My other thought for the design stems from their Hummer.
Harley Davidson came out with the Hummer. It's design was based on the DKW Rt125. After the war, the designs, tooling equipment and some of the staff from the DKW plant ended up at the MMZ factory in Moscow. So maybe that is the connection?
Harley was not original in their designs of the Topper or Hummer. They just copied what was popular.

I used to have one back in the 80's. It was fun to tool around on, but I always drove it on side streets. Had I know they were popular today, I would have kept it.
But I am currently happy riding around on my DKW rt250.

That is so thoughtful. I had once done something for one of our pet ducks, when I was little.

Why not do closoineé on a pair of real ones?

LOL - we have the very same door. The light however gleams onto a tile floor so it looks like a portal to some underworld.
