The Badgerman: Theremin vs. badger taxidermy

This curious device is The Badgermin. Artist David Cranmer hacked a Theremin kit to integrate it with a taxidermy badger, and vice versa.

   But is Linux installed on it?

  And now it’s time to install Linux:  http://everything2.com/title/How+to+install+Linux+on+a+dead+badger

     Aww.  That version is missing my favorite part: the bit about the holy water.  Overtaken by political correctness?

  Looks like it should have been built on the Beaver platform, rather than the Badger.  Maybe for v2.0.

• [Remus Shepherd]

  Wow.  I have never seen a better example of both ‘Why?’ and ‘Why not?’

  This may well be the coolest thing we will see all week.

  Come on internets, prove me wrong!

• [irksome]

  It’s official; the ukulele is now SO last week.

  “I’m walkin’ on sunshine… whoa-oh…”

• [Lobster]

  Would you care to play my badger?

• [Antinous / Moderator]

  Does crazy, nasty-assed Theremin Badger give a shit?

  • [3eff_jeff]

    Nope, Chuck Testa!

  • [jimh]

     It’s pretty badass, look!

• [Art]

  A perfect duo for a Steampunk wedding band :)

• [Michelle Morgan]

  Badgers everywhere think this is not hilarious.

  • [Antinous / Moderator]

    But this person is thrilled.

• [Mike The Bard]

  Tonight’s performance has been brought to you by BeerDog.

• [erratic]

  This guy either has read or needs to read “The Squirrel Machine”

• [Frode Helland]

  I have a good friend who’s building a catzersizer. Not sure if he’ll apreciate the competition.

• [dagfooyo]

  Now someone needs to learn to play the badger song on it.

• [Gordon Charlton]

  I’ll see your badgermin and raise you a theremingo!

  man taxidermy is weird and creepy

• [Brainspore]

  Theremin, schmerimin. I know a Franklinator when I see one.

  • [Antinous / Moderator]

    Where the hell have you been?

    • [Brainspore]

      Taking a sabbatical to explore some of the less civilized parts of the internet. Didn’t you get my note?

      • [Antinous / Moderator]

        Yeah, but two months?

        • [Brainspore]

          Got lost after a wrong turn at Politico. I missed you too, buddy.

• [Bernard Yin]

  I am definitely concerned. This is going to do to badgers what Jaws did to sharks.

• [phearis]

  He turned a Badger into a Theremin? That’s just disturbing and weird.
