Hariclippers
Scary hairy clippery things...I just wanted to say that... | |
Came about from a typo of hairclippers and got me thinking - Hari Krishna dedicated hair products. I'll admit - I know very little of the Hari Krishna faith (I tried to research it in the five minutes I spent thinking about this, but google was surprisingly less than helpful), but from what I've seen
they have distinctive 'hairstyles'.
So let's target them as consumers - hair clippers with a built in modulator of some sort, that converts the continuous drone of clippers to a Hari Krishna chant. Or just a speaker that does the same thing, but modulators sound more half-baked...
It could come blessed by a priest/higher member/etc of the faith (if they do that...) and all proceeds would go towards helping the religion grow.

I could imagine airport security go nuts over these ... |
|
|
"You have one of those Krishna folks in your luggage?" |
|
|
And then a cavity search ensues ... [+] for creativity! |
|
|
On second thought, the airport staff might beat-up your luggage more than usual, but to the rythm of those annoying Krishna chants ... make sure to include the obligatory tambourine. |
|
|
The tambourine could be the lid for a gel container...I really only annotated so I could try spelling tambourine...it's one of those horrid words that never looks right - but it's fun to spell! Don't worry, I'm slowly destroying myself as we speak... |

Thanks for the spelling help, [inc] |

Since you have opened the Pandoras box that is typo-inspired hair clipper-related inventions, how about hare clippers - for untidy wild rabbit-like creatures. These would be mounted on small poles dotted around the countryside and available for de-tufting free at the point of use. Now what sort of regular motion do hares exhibit which we could tap into in order to power the clippers, hmmm? |
|
|
most Hari Krishna type people i've seen don't got
no hair. |
|
|
Hari-Kari clippers...it's a small sword and a big bandage... |
|
|
Its Hare-Krishna .. (pronounced Ha-ray Krishna) ... not Hari (Hurry Krishna). |
|
|
As far as I could find, both spellings are used (although they may refer to different religions) - the Hare-Krishna spelling is more common, but doesn't fit the typo I had as well. I'd like to change it, but it just won't fit as well (On a side note, I pronounce Hari as Ha-rei/ray as [riskyrisk] noted...it never occured to me to pronounce it any other way...) |
