So I was going through the stuff my brother left on his desk when he moved out of our apartment and found some googly eyes he probably didn't even know about. Normally, I would simply put them aside and forget about them very quickly, but their number got me thinking: "Say, I should use these to make a mascot or something." But the only other thing I could think of actually using was my brother's cell phone battery he replaced a short time ago, so I put these things aside for later use. Some time later, I was told to take out the trash, including two wine bottles with corks, so I did, but I pocketed the corks because I thought they might be useful. Only after I returned to the desk (I now use it as my "workplace") I thought of combining these items. A short gluing action (and brother's approval to use the battery) later, I had in front of me a three-eyed monster I'll probably call Connor. I had to scrape glue off my fingretips afterwards, but this was well worth it.

For some reason, I thought "Balrog" when I first saw this...

Oh cool

I once made something kinda like that and it should still be somewhere in my house. If I find it I'll take a photo and put it up here

Just tilt your head...

Look at it from the neck up. {Like if you were slowly scrolling down...}
Doesn't it remind you at all of your other avatar?
Just a bit? XD

Well once during school I was doodling in my book and ended up with a ghostly fork character. I relised that I could probably make this with a fork and tissues. So one day I was really bored and just made it for fun.

The original had some little twig-ish arms that I wanted to make with paper clips but that never really worked out...

I will call your ghost fork Stabby McStabbinson. Stabby and Connor should have a radio show.
Also this should probably be in the SPOT but who cares, really? The Satellite Lounge is basically a sexier version of the SPOT now.

I don't see how does this classify as a SPOT material, seeing as we didn't even get so off-topic and this is Satellite Lounge (a place to discuss non-gaming related topics). And I did kinda want to know if anyone else here has something similar.
Anyway, back on-topic: I'm planning to add Connor some arms and maybe replace the third eye (dad found me some more small ones). I took two small paperclips and bent their inner parts 90 degrees to the side, so they look sorta like flat L's. I'll post a picture if I get it done.

UPDATE: So I did it much sooner than I thought. Nevertheless, Connor now has arms.

Well yesterday when I uploaded that photo I actually made another one from a spoon but I got a few things wrong. So basically it's really thin and has a really floppy neck.

I think I can fix it up with duct tape though...

Ladies and gontolemon, I give you Jeff.

I think he's some kind of zombie angel... or maybe those white things are ears.

I'll bet if you used a low enough amperage you could get sparks to jump across the spoons, like on those cheesy horror movies.[/sarcasm]

Seriously, don't try that unless you have a death wish. Or your wish for fame ends you up among the Darwin awards...

The electricity would probably travel through the plastic casing rather than air. Then Jeff would get all melty.

Plastic is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. Have you never played with a 9-volt battery?
