Should Fluther HQ require some Jellyfish Art?

Asked by shilolo (18085points) October 12th, 2010

I saw this SF based store, and thought it would be perfect for Fluther HQ. Anyone else have any thoughts? Perhaps a community art project to submit artwork for the office?

OMG. That’s wonderful! How do we get one to the HQ?

They need a tank!

Also the windows are arched. Modern art tentacles is all it would take…

I’ve visited the HQ. Its a magical place, with unicorns and pixies running around, AND, it dwarfs the googleplex.

Around here we have had boxes baby chicks, bees, earthworms, and snakes delivered to our local post office. I think adding jelly fish to that list is perfect.

But, $55 a jelly? Wow. And I have been considering buying gold. Wrong commodity, I see.

Count on me for a contribution.

@gailcalled The beautiful thing is that the store is already in SF. Maybe they can work out a deal. Free advertising for both…

Dog's avatar

Perfect!

Note: I was never brought into the inner-sanctum of Fluther Headquarters. They were not there or were too busy competing in unicorn races and rolling in pixie dust to buzz me up.

@shilolo :I am glad to see that you are, predictably, not working seriously on hazmat work. Two careers, a wifen two small children, and moderator statue not keeping you busy enough?

This instant I am supposed to be at the food coop, buying stuff for company..

And some of these, or these

@syz: They are gorgeous, but why pay $800 when you can buy a real one for $55, tax, and shipping (or taxi ride across town)? The jelly fish come with a guarantee that they will arrive alive.

syz's avatar

@gailcalled Ah, but my version don’t die and rot.

gailcalled's avatar

@syz: True, but mine can be composted.

CMaz's avatar

$55 for a jellyfish?

gailcalled's avatar

It comes with an “arrive alive” guarantee, remember.

I think that Fluther HQ needs it own tank of jellies! Built-in beta testers.

We have tons of jellyfish art up on the walls. We’re planning on getting a tank if we move offices.

syz's avatar

^ The proof is in the picture.

@andrew I smell a barter. “Free advertising” for a cool tank!

Also, in defense of my “unicorns and pixies” comment, it is theoretically possible that they weren’t really there. Given the offices’ proximity to Mission Street, I may have been suffering from carbon monoxide toxicity.

This stinks of the Will Smith movie, Seven Pounds . . . I, for one, am a jelly who would NOT like to be kept in a tank in someone’s home, office, etc. I would be happy to draw as many jelly pictures as needed to keep this wanton jelly lust from happening in my life time!

Kayak8's avatar

@marinelife By the way, should betta testing be required, I do NOT want to be the jelly in that tank!

diavolobella's avatar

So, it arrives alive, but does it arrive wearing glasses? Because if not, I’ll be really disappointed.

@shilolo. I love the ad for the Monaco tank. The woman appears to be thinking, “No, you shall not touch my jellies.” And the guy is thinking “I’ll pretend to be aloof and disinterested, but I’ll sneak my hand up to the tank….liiiiiike THIS!”

Eye glasses are extra, I am sorry to say (but the annual eye exam is free, apparently).

augustlan's avatar

@andrew Pictures, please! I don’t think we’ve seen any since the ‘rug’ discussion.

zen_'s avatar

I love this thread.

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

How about a compromise? This Jellyfish Mood Lamp looks pretty cool (Just watch the video). Also, these would be a nice addition in the mansion’s pool for evening cocktail parties.

augustlan's avatar

@Pied_Pfeffer If I had a pool, I would so have those. Freaking awesome!
