Ooky ceiling lamp

Daniel Ritthanondh's "Barnacle Ceiling Lamp" is a tribute to the decor in the game Half Life, an altogether ooky bit of ceiling sculpture. Not yet available for sale, but Ritthanondh advises that a limited run will be forthcoming.

Barnacle Ceiling Lamp! (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

If it doesn’t make the sound while drawing up the light, I don’t want it.

Is that the vagina of Predator or Alien?

    I have to go with vagina on this one. Note the protruding string.

      Nothing Freudian going on here. Nope, nothing at all.

The last thing I need is a light fixture that I’m preconditioned to empty my firearm into.

  Indeed, to hide in the hallway and pick off my lamp from a safe distance might not be a prudent instinct for city living (pre-invasion).

I’ve got a grrreat game for you. It’s called “ooky mouth”.

What’s “ooky mouth”?

First, you let Kenny spit in your mouth. Then you try to swallow his spit and say “ooky mouth” at the same time.

Sick, dude!
_____

Ooky mouth! [Kenny spits in] Gross! I can’t do it, Ma!

Try again, bubbe!

[Kenny spits] Aaah!
_____

[returning with Kenny] I can’t say “ooky mouth” and have Kenny spit down my throat at the same time! It’s impossible! [There's spit on his face and on his hat]

Prrractice makes perfect, bubbe!

Is this Geigers Vagina? or is this a hint at HL3 from Valve?

4 bullets from the automatic will take care of that for you. Or a crowbar hit.

I’ve been hoping someone will invent a fiber-optic jellyfish-tendrils light that can screw into ordinary overhead lightbulb sockets. Something pretty. Not this.

Reading this post and listening to the Eroica post at the same time… I’m gonna have nightmares.

Always fun to ride the barnacle tendrils almost all the way up to the top, then blast them at the last minute.
