Craigslist is a beautiful thing. Need a sprinkler?
From the listing:
I built this guy last Friday & used him to water the lawn all day Saturday. People driving past, gawked at him like they had never seen a guy vomiting a steady stream of water all over the place. I put an ad to offer to sell him on here under “arts & crafts” on Sunday, but didn’t get any takers. I did get one very nice peice of fan mail from someone called the Dragon Planter and of course a couple peices of spam. At 1st, I thought I might just keep him, but then thought somebody else might be more “into him” then I am. So am advertising again, and udating this ad on Friday the 17th.
He is life size & made from articulated steel rods w/a detachable ceramic head. The top of which is actually a planter that can have plants planted in it.
He can be posed in pretty much any postion a real human can pose in.
He would be good for filling a swimming pool.
I think if you dressed him like a cowboy & wired him to the fence, he’d make a pretty good stock tank filler too.
The kids would probably like to run through his barf on hot days.
You could put him in or near a pond & use a recirculating pump instead of hooking him to the garden hose.
You could dress him in womens clothes & put a wig on him. Making it a lady puker instead.
I can drive him down to Spokane for another $20, [must be prepaid by money order or check issued from bank of America only] and elsewhere possibly.
Please excuse the poor quality of the photos. I am horrible at taking pictures.
Perfect for the college crowd, yes?
Thanks Justine!

Oh my God. While I wouldn’t actually want to own this I have to admit that it’s totally hilarious. I particularly love the shot of him on his hands and knees, spewing water into a bucket.
I’m a little embarrassed by how hard this made me laugh.

I can see this filling a kiddie pool, maybe. But it’s totally inefficient as a lawn sprinkler. You’d have to make his head pivot back and forth, and install a sprayer in the mouth to…
K, I’ve officially overthought this. I need a shower now.

OMFG! The hands and knee pose just makes my mind go to places that I never wanted to go.
Who on earth would think of doing something like that? Then it’s so crappy that they don’t even want to keep it. They are trying desparately to get rid of it. lol
I can’t wait to see this guys next masterpiece!

I totally forgot I had sent this in and wondered what freak had found it and sent it. And then I was all like “oh, it’s another Justine” and then I clicked the link and wound up on my own blog.
Durrrrrrrr.

OMG!!! I have to wonder how fun this would be if you made the water like red or somthing. THAT would definetly be a traffic stopper.
