Coconut headphone mod makes us long for Kokomo

You knew somebody would do it, and now you're just downtrodden that said somebody isn't you. Yes friends, the gadget you see above really is a pair of working headphones with coconut halves for earcups. We already got word that Dave Chappelle's crack-infused twin fully approves, but we're still waiting for Dr. Dre to give us the all-clear before we deem them "street credible."

Our rhythm has been true, for many centuries!

[Dan H Posted Jul 31st 2009 6:31AM]

I've always wanted my headphones to be hairy!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 6:47AM]

They certainly look better than those ugly ed banger Wesc headphones they used to be ;)

fisticuffs isn't crack infused...i think you're thinking of tyrone biggums.

[Gi Posted Jul 31st 2009 7:47AM]

[DocMartin Posted Jul 31st 2009 7:06AM]

Straight from the set of Gilligan's Island.

You sir are the man.
Not for the sole reason of coming up with that first...
But also for the Dr. Martin reference.

Next a Nintendo done with coconuts.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 7:12AM]

Just for coco-nutheads!

[SiXiam Posted Jul 31st 2009 7:13AM]

So close, to a controller made of fruit...

[Sea Urchin Posted Jul 31st 2009 7:15AM]

Who doesnt long for Kokomo....I mean the Hip Hugger come on!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 12:08PM]

WOW hahaha I was just telling a friend visiting from out of town that the hugger was known all over. Ah Kokomo, what a wonderful place; full of magic, unemployment, and strip clubs.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 7:56PM]

Hah! The infamous Hip Hugger lounge. Bring plenty of singles, and some penicillin ;-)

All I can think of is Bender "Bending" Rodriguez getting a 'downgrade'.

Damn you Robot 1x!

I don't see how that band is going to work as a bra strap, unless it's for a mighty thin girl.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 8:48AM]

thats nuts!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 8:54AM]

Ugh. Don't remind me of Kokomo. The worst beach boys song ever written. Yes, worse than Vegetables.

[culbeda Posted Jul 31st 2009 10:22AM]

Milky Joe approves...

[Warren Posted Jul 31st 2009 10:39AM]

Maybe this person is a big fan of Coconut Records...?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 11:59AM]

Dammit Warren, you beat me to it.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 11:18AM]

Coming from somebody who lives in Kokomo.....no it doesn't.
Maybe if they're attached to the sweaty head of a factory worker, then you may have something.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 12:52PM]

Is this the result of the inspiration gained from drinking the lime from the coconut?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2009 1:25PM]

Human ingenuity at work.
