Smoke marijuana before your flight????

Airports suck….no doubts there, the act of cramming into a busy building surrounded by coughing and sniffing strangers really isn’t my idea of a “good time”…not only that but the airport itself is fraught with incidents that make you want to pull your hair out whilst screaming.
Just ask our fearless leader
Eric who was unfortunate enough to be at Durban airport recently when the bad weather caused a plane to go off the runway…hectic stuff…the chaos that ensued after that must have been diabolical.

People get pissed off in airports ultra quickly, it’s like the traffic department…you just know that you will lose your temper and strangle an attendant at any moment if you let your guard down.
Airline staff and security personnel aren’t always the best comforters either, at times they can be downright rude and just try to make your life difficult.
In airports I always “try my best” to keep a
smile on my face and have a positive happy attitude…not always easy, like the one time they lost my bags on a flight to Durban…yes I did throw my toys…and yes they returned my bags the same day. LOL.

Khutaza - Robot Gorilla Suit

Robots seem to be everywhere this month, first was DustyRich with his Video Games Rock design and now theres Robot Gorilla Suit by Khutaza.
I was really stoked to see this design in the top 20, not just because I want one for myself ,but also because I can see that a lot of effort went into making the design.

I’m obsessed with robots, from R2D2 to Johnny5…however I’d have to say most of the obsession lies with massive Japanese anime robots. This design reminds me of a more Japanese inspired robot, or as they say in Japan “mecha” …I love everything about this design, from the old skool style “bubble cockpit” to the steam given off by the hydraulic arms.

I’m not sure if any of you are familiar with Starship Troopers?
I’m not talking about the movie with Casper Van Dien…I’m actually talking about the book on which the movie was based.
In the book they have these super powerful battle suit like robots that had limited power life and would shut down once all its energy was depleted….well not before destroying everything in its path that is.
It’s scary how closely the robot from Khutaza resembles what I thought the robot would look like from the novel….besides the bubble top that is ;)

If you are a sci-fi lover or just a robot freeeak, this is the design for you…this is ULTRA-UBER robot madness at its best.

Duncs.
