Wobbly Tower of Dirty Dishes

Imagine a wobbly tower of miniature dirty dishes on your car's dashboard; plates, silverware, teacups, pots and pans, precariously stacked in such a way as though they may topple over in a great clatter at any moment. But this wobbly stack is linked together so that it may respond to your car's momentum by teetering one way or the other, but it won't fall over. Bumps and vibrations make the tower jingle and clink, like an (out of tune) wind chime. It is inspired by the ever popular "bobble head dolls" but won't produce the sense of loathing that arises from the ever present cheeky smiles of the bobble heads.

Although your life may constantly feel on the precipice of disaster, this never toppling tower of dirty dishes will serve as a reminder that the worst calamity has so far been avoided.

       I quite like the wobbly plates. I once proposed perpetually spinning plates (link) but no one liked it. I thought it was a great idea, but there you go.

       It seems, [xenzag], that people were distracted by an exchange of personal insults and a digression about bar- code scanners. So, a regular day at the HB, really. [beanangel] seemed to like it, but forgot to leave a bun. Them's the breaks.
