  1. Little Girl Blue says:

    Okay. I seriously need to know: How can I comment if I can’t see the kludge. Wait…

  2. Time Kitten says:

    Ah, there it is now.

    I see this typically in lamps that have become permanent fixtures, with the handyman possessing no electrical still whatsoever. But in mine own house, there are sockets facing the inside of the wall to take care of those.

  3. Hellstein says:

    TENSO! Look at the above socket to get what I mean

  4. enLique says:

    This isn’t a kludge. It’s a masterpiece.

    • Sir Fix-a-lot says:

      That reminds of that porn flick I saw the other day where there was a guy with a d**k so long he was able to… ah! forget it!

  5. Thadius says:

    Now you’ve done it! You’ve gone and made a Pime Taradox!

  6. Mike says:

    When I read the text below the image, I thought it said moose, and I tried to imagine a moose providing power.

  7. Dogmeat says:

    On behalf of my lamp for displaying such poor manners, I apologize. It is EXTREMELY shy.

  8. Ben says:

    There is at least one loose-end that didn’t get tied up for this otherwise stealth grow-room.

  9. caleb says:

    The basment cat’s up to something… I just know it!

  10. G. James says:

    I’ve done something similar: as there wasn’t enough power in my basement wants-to-be-a-theater room, I drilled a hole through the paneling to get an extension cord into the laundry room to access an unused outlet there. Not long after that, I had the laundry room remodeled to make it also serve as a second bathroom, a new breaker box, and multiple circuits in the theater room.

    The hole in the paneling though is still there. A proper remodel of the theater room is planned for later. Right now it has too many heavy steel racks holding things up off the floor and assembled into U-shaped computer desks.

  11. JB says:

    Moebius outlet! Infinite power!

  12. mindmelda says:

    Electrical masturbation?

  13. Super says:

    Q: Why does the plug connects to itself?
    A: Because it can!

  14. Chip says:

    Cordorboros

  15. ACLS says:

    Ugh “In my reality”? These parting shot jokes are so totally insipid that I literally can not enjoy the blog anymore. I’m unsubscribing and I’ll check back in a month when you’ll probably have given them up.

    It was a great photo, but the braindead followup joke just totally kills it for me. Like a guy in the audience who thinks he can match George Carlin. Seriously, I’ll come back if they stop.

    • Anna Rexia says:

      I’m sure they’ll change it just so you’ll come back. Until then, we’ll miss you dearly.

    • kc/cc says:

      George Carlin died a while ago, so in my reality, how difficult can matching him be? At least, I’m pretty sure I can think of more than seven words you can never say on television.

    • Dogmeat says:

      Can’t…avert…*unh*…my eyes! Must…read…*unh*…every…parting shot…*unh*…joke. No…*unh*…self…control!

    • PsychoDad says:

      Pretentious troll is pretentious.

      “Pretentious? Moi?”

    • Jake says:

      A parting shot pertaining to parting shots? That’s like some kind of infinite loop, kind of like the kludge itself… O SHI–

    • herds789 says:

      PLAYTEX makes a product called Heat Therapy Heat Patch for this kind of thing. I’m sure you will feel better in no time.

    • Challenger says:

      Last time I looked, does anyone care? I mean really, that is too much drama for this little forum where people are just trying to have fun. Maybe, just maybe, if you could lighten up some? Besides, George Carlin told jokes on a 5th grade level for people who were stoned. It really wasn’t that hard to do better.

  16. MacGyver says:

    I didn’t submit that kludge

  17. Soundnous says:

    When we first look at this, the mind rebels against what must be a ridiculous optical illusion. But eventually, the only conclusion we can reach is that Chuck Norris must be on the opposite side of that wall plug, somehow providing an infinite source of Awesome.

    • kc/cc says:

      If you happen to have 70-year-old wiring in that wall, I suggest it’s time to take another look at it, too.

  18. Joe Btfsplk says:

    The cord powers the fan that blows on the windmill that runs the generator that powers the wall plug! See… it is really very elegant when you break it down!

    • Mr. Fix-It says:

      Oh great, thanks Joe. Now I have this nagging urge to play ‘The Incredible Machine’ again. :<

      And I can't find the disc for it…

  19. Tobbsdasock says:

    This isn’t what it appears. Look at the surprised expression on the socket’s face and you’ll realise you just walked in on it masturbating…

  20. Thor says:

    All I know is that if I could do that I wouldn’t need to leave the house.

  21. TheUltamate says:

    Oh no! You’ve created an infinite loop inside your wall. Attempting to fix this is not a good idea; all you will do is unleash the massive probability storm that will come anyway. In the time before the storm comes and turns Earth into a floral dishrag, take advantage of the radiating energy around the outlet: divide by zero, swallow yourself to become twice as big, maybe mold some five-dimensional shapes with Play-Doh.

  22. Mwah says:

    Looks like something out of ‘The Incredible Machine’

  23. Anna Rexia says:

    Someone was loopy when they were doing household chores.

  24. waldo says:

    What goes in must come out.

  25. cayenne says:

    Obama taking 50%

  26. Shimmer says:

    Oh my god. That is so… wrong…

  27. TexasDan says:

    flux capacitor fail.

  28. adam says:

    take that physics

  29. kabukicho2001 says:

    My tv set is in the next room. So it’s easy to make a hole just in the outlet to pass the cord! Good idea!

  30. Challenger says:

    As a computer reapir person we have had several callers over the years who probably should not even own a computer. One class of these type ‘uers’ include those people (not ALWAYS women) who call up and say “I can not turn my computer on!”. After careful interview and diagnosis we discover that they have taken the plug that comes from their six outlet power strip and have plugged it back into the power strip intself thus avoiding all laws of physics and creating their very own self contained renewable energy device that will always generates more energy than it consumes.

  31. That Guy says:

    I really need to start taking and sending in pictures of stuff like this I see around my house – this is probably the fifth kludge that is exactly like something in my home.

  32. Ford says:

    Lisa, in this house, we obey the LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS!

  33. Cattercactus says:

    Circuitry autofellatio.

  34. random_anomaly says:

    The rare ouroboros outlet.

  35. (the person who actually did this) Wow! Never expected this kind of response. The real story was that this was used to power a small fridge in the closet behind this wall. I was lazy (as most of the contributors here are). This was in place for over three years before taking the photo.

    LOL

  36. sumpter1 says:

    There is one of these in my dentists office. I took a pic of it on my last visit but it did not turn out well. I asked one of the employee’s where the cord went to and they didn’t know.

  37. Tefnut says:

    Is it me or does that plug look violated?

  38. ducatirose says:

    I had neighbours like that once…

  39. Bob Rose says:

    This should help eliminate the green house gasses caused by burning fossil fuel. It is recycling at it’s finest. Me thinks????

  40. heywood jablowme says:

    “Electricity, check. Now, if I can hack the cable and water I’ll live in this wall forever!”

  41. RileaSW says:

    You know, this exact kludge is used in the back of a gaming store I go to. I still have no idea what that plug is for.

  42. Wendy says:

    The upper socket is appaled too…

  43. Vincent Palmer says:

    It is MY outlet ! Yet when I unplug the cord, the neighbors lights go out.

  44. mrkerfluffal says:

    Nice try at a home based particle accelerator.
