When pumping up inflatables, like beds or GT
Sports Car Ball Pits, the foot pump slides all
over the place. Put a clamp on it. Now it
stays on your foot. With a really long cord
you could walk to the kitchen to fetch
another bottle of wine as you inflate the bed
for your girlfriend's cousin.
That's
what I wanted anyway.

And last night I saw a thirties era clip with said devices, as part of an advert. Will try and find that... [4whom, Jun 10 2008]

You mean, a foot pump attached to your foot? Instead of to the thing you are pumping up? |
|
| |
No, it's even more boring than that. It's
a
foot pump with straps on it so that it
doesn't slip around when you're
pumping. |
|
| |
I actually want to kill myself for writing
this. |
|
| |
I'm going to give it a [-] for being so
horribly drab and instigating thoughts
of suicide, and go back to putting bees
in things. |
|
| |
Maybe it could pump bees into the bed for a magic fingers mod on air mattresses? |
|
| |
Maybe a pneumatic banjo that strums whilst pumping to sooth the nerves? |
|
| |
Indeed. I'm surprised no one's brought up
the
banjo appendage on the Anthropophone. |

It's a strange website when having a
practical idea makes you want to shoot
yourself. |
|
| |
You don't have to shoot yourself. You really don't. If you look outside, you'll see a queue of patient HalfBakers, all with loaded firearms. Many are carrying empty beehives, others are applying sting remedies, and all of them are in a bad mood. |
|
| |
By the way, this is a good idea, but why not make "foot pump slippers" or similar ? As you walk around, you pressurise an air tank on your back. |

Not only that, but I'd bet my Great Aunt
Adenine's AK47 that this is baked. |
|
| |
Why have a pump, eighth, when a source of compressed gases is nearer? (to the backpack) |
|
| |
I'm going to delete this, but would like to
win that AK47. If you can find one
[Maxwell], I'll eat my edible hat. |
|
| |
My eyes, my eyes! What ever you do, don't look at the google results for "strap-on+pump". |
|
| |
You got a bottle of wine for your girlfriend's cousin??? |
|
| |
Meh, I like [4whom]'s link better. |
|
| |
And there I was, all worried if it was big enough or clever enough... |
