@katbyter@somf69@xobzoo So I have to wonder - is that prop a repurposed real thing, or did the the prop guy build it just for that gag?
Either way, great work!
They’ve already been combined with practically everything else that makes any sort of sense! I’ve seen them in Bluetooth speakers, wallets, purses, suitcases, and now water bottles…a game controller, maybe?? Would that be marginally useful?
Anybody read the David Wong novel “Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits” ? Fun read about criminals with body implants powered by super-dense batteries wreaking havoc in future Las Vegas.
@macromeh@PhysAssist Be sure to read John Dies in the End too (also by “David Wong”). The rest of the series is lots of fun too, but JDITE is insane (and hilarious)!
@PhysAssist@shahnm Yep - read the book, have the movie. Also liked the sequel, “This Book Is Full Of Spiders”, but not quite as well as JDATE. (Hmm… no, not that JDATE)
@shahnm
Nah, it hardly makes any diff- I knew the movie was quirky and good, although IDK there was a book it came from.
Regardless, I immediately recognized what you meant by what you typed, and clearly so did everyone else.
I’m just surprised that no one sent you a FIFY on it.
Though MacroMeh did sort of correct it subtly.
@OnionSoup Hmmm… a bag of candy corn got me thinking…
Dad: “Johnny, what did you get for a toy in your box of Cracker Jack?”
Johnny: “It’s a 97mAh power bank! That should give me an extra five minutes on my cell phone!”
A power bank!!
@yakkoTDI A matryoshka power bank!
@shahnm Everyone would be rushin’ to buy one.
@shahnm @yakkoTDI I hate matryoshka, they’re just full of themselves.

@PooltoyWolf
If yes, then no-go for Meh.
If no, then brace yourself for Meh appearances every couple of weeks, and especially during Mehrathons for the foreseeable future.
@shahnm Point taken!
@PooltoyWolf Amazon to the rescue!
@ItalianScallion Pretty close!
A butt plug.
@Pony There are already Bluetooth ones…
@Pony @PooltoyWolf
But that’s not necessarily the same thing, is it?
@PhysAssist @Pony No, LOL

'Cuz I know that we ALL want at least one! /S
@2many2no *Microphone not included.
Along similar lines… the Dude Wiper of course. Or maybe the ball shaver for an electrifying experience.
A piggy bank.
A piggy power bank has kinda a nice ring to it…
@shahnm
/showme a piggy power bank in the style of Monet
Well you got it 2/3 right, bot… Unless the nose is the USB sockets, in which case, Aces!
@shahnm Those nostrils look to be the right shape for USB-C, even!
@shahnm @xobzoo The eyes are audio jacks.

Pocket knives!
Or some other lousy options:
@xobzoo The Nebo Pal+ was a pocket knife/flashlight/power bank combo.

@hchavers they have hollow balls…

You mean during the commission of a felony [per a proposed law change?]?

Pants pockets
@katbyter They’ll have to be men’s pants, of course. Women’s pants don’t have pockets big enough to hold any battery larger than a AA.
But now that gives me another power bank idea: Chap stick!
@xobzoo I was thinking that might finally be the key to getting pockets for women
/giphy No pockets for you!
A Toilet!!
That’s where most folks use their Phone / Tablet / Laptop anyways.

Concept is correct but the execution is WAY off!!

@macromeh @PhysAssist At. It’s At. Got it now.
@shahnm
Huh?
@PhysAssist I mistakenly called the book John Dies In the End. The title is actually John Dies At the End.
I’m such a fool.

Let’s get a power bank too!
@xenophod Wow - TIL!
An Irk!
Socks
Men’s underpants. Because charging your phone (at home, please) will be hilarious!
And, YES, that is a power bank in my pants, but I’m still happy to see you anyway.

A Trackr,
