So a friend of mine is obsessed with Beatles music and sings it all the time at karaoke. He likes the song "Happiness Is A Warm Gun," which his girlfriend, who works at a school, is unthrilled with. I had a conversation with her one time about why can't he sing "Happiness is a warm cat" instead.
I got him a Beatles book by an author we both like for his birthday, and I thought of the terrible yet amusing idea of making him a literal warm gun, because Heat Wave yarn exists. Except there's his girlfriend who isn't too thrilled on guns...even though the other week at karaoke I caught her singing along and basically being all, oh well, you can't fight it.
Then today I remembered the "Active Crafter" shirt at my volunteer job, which featured various craft guns and red paint (I still can't figure out if this makes a good point, is perverse, and/or horrendously offensive. It's probably all of the above?).... and then I thought, warm gun. Like a hot glue gun.
And thus, I did this with my time today. Everyone else is off at play rehearsals, I didn't get in, so this is what I did with my life.
The thing even manages to stand up on its own, which is impressive.
...Yeah, this is a pretty weird joke of mine and god only knows what anyone would do with it, but what the hell.
