It's too late for me, save yourselves!: Giant Tarantula Backpack

[lodo_bear]

Have you ever wanted to give people the impression that you were being eaten alive by a monstrous mutant arachnid, while at the same time having space to haul all your books? Well, now you can, thanks to the tarantula backpack!

Yes, now you can carry your books in style while permanently guaranteeing that no one with even the slightest amount of arachnophobia will want to be friends with you.

Found on Oddity Central [http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/help-theres-a-tarantula-on-my-back.html], Geekologie [http://www.geekologie.com/2009/11/its_after_my_head_giant_tarant.php], and Trendhunter [http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-tarantula-backpack].

Of course, the real reason I'm posting this is because, all sarcasm aside, I really want one, and I can find no place that will sell me one. FurAffinity has a page about the backpack [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3103063/] and a page for the artist [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/dludnerad/], but both are down, leaving me with no way to have my very own AAAAH IT'S ALIVE AND IT'S EATING HIM WHOLE-inducing book carrier.

Escapists, can you help me?

 

[Altorin]

lol, I'd sleep with it.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

I wouldn't buy one for me, but for my wee sister, who is fucking terrified of spiders. That'll teach her to steal my fucking laptop every night.

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

It's so cute.

 

[Paendorrah]

Hugable and loveable. I would want one.

 

[Cherry Cola]

GIVE ME!!!!!!!!

Let's see anyone stealing from my backpack now!

 

[lodo_bear]

lol, I'd sleep with it.

So would I, if I could get one.

On that topic, if I never succeed in finding the original maker, who else makes this sort of thing? Do you have any artists or costume manufacturers who do this sort of work for hire?

 

[wooty]

That would seriously freak me out, ugh!

 

[Adanos]

Oh my god. That is totally awesome. I buy 8.

 

[Trivun]

I would actually love one of those. I've recently started wanting to get a load of 'geeky' stuff, for example, I really want to buy the 'Hanners Worry T-shirt' from Questionable Content, and that backpack, and a lava lamp (though I guess the lamp isn't really a geek thing). That bakpack just looks so cool though, even if I would get funny looks from people walking into uni lectures...

That's scary awesome!!!!

This one time, I saw a bed which was made to look like a hamburger. I thought that was pretty cool.

Good for you! In fact, I understand that fluffy fake spiders like this are very useful in helping people overcome their arachnophobia [http://www.insecta-inspecta.com/culent/arach/index.html], so you are becoming stronger!

That's far too huge to be practical for any kind of day to day object carrying. I mean what do you need a backpack that size for? The entire encyclopedia britannica?

I believe that much of it is fluff and other external trappings. However, I do regularly make use of a similarly roomy backpack. It's easier than using my rolling luggage to haul my books to school.

 

[Chronarch]

Woah, that's pretty awesome. I don't know if I'd ever want to wear it in public but I still want one.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

That's...not going to be comfortable to wear.

 

[Sansha]

Get one and keep your laptop inside it.

Fur Affinity is probably down for the banner change and december tune up / chirstmas themes should be back up later today.
