Five Custom Gadgets You Can't Buy

photojournaliste noted a little story running over on Forbes which kinda looks like their editors read Slashdot. Their Five Gadgets You Can't Buy include a few things you might have seen here, as well as some new custom hardware hacks. If you didn't get it for christmas, maybe one of these will inspire you to build it yourself.

I live in the District of Columbia, so afro-American outbursts aren''t really all that unique. Anyway, about three years ago I was walking to a club area (Adams Morgan) with a bunch of friends and we stopped to wait for a traffic light (something only white DC residents do) and we hear this guy from behind us say something like: ""wait right there, I wants to hab a word wit ya bout some business.""

So we turn around and there is this older black crack head guy in typical ratty street clothes squatted about 10 feet away from us next to some stairs, right on the sidewalk. He is literally blowing mud all over some yuppies cement stairwell. Real geyser style diarrhea, punctuated with loud booming farts. The shit is splashing all aver the stairs and he is doing this while making eye contact with us and nodding.

I didn''t know whether to laugh or vomit. As we are all standing there slack-jawed he pulls up his pants and starts ambulating toward us. We ran away in horror as he called us all sorts of horrible names...... mostly ""white devil"" ""racist"" the usual sobriquets.
