Giving The Porch Some Much Needed Ambience

Giving The Porch Some Much Need Ambience

Submitted by: Jonny via Submit a Kludge!

What you gain in atmosphere, you lose in entertainment. How are you supposed to watch the bugs ram into it now? – Ms. Fix-It

Favorite Comment: Fixer NV Gal says, “I think they misunderstood the term “milk glass.”

  1. LoL.Lawliet says:

    hey, whatever works ^^

  2. dono1 says:

    Mooed lighting.

  3. coyoteman says:

    If that’s an incandescent bulb, it may well melt the plastic. In which case we might have a fire fail as well.

  4. Lilly says:

    “Much Need” huh?

  5. zhoen says:

    That shouldn’t look nice, so why does it? Better put a fluorescent in there to avoid fire.

  6. Cayenne says:

    Nice craftsmanship!

  7. Mark S. says:

    I guess I should be ashamed of myself for thinking it was the signal light to the milkman that the coast is clear? (You’d hate to see the craftsmanship for when it’s the postman….)

  8. Moxie Man says:

    Great ambiance: the scent of scalding soured milk mixed with burning plastic.

  9. NV Gal says:

    I think they misunderstood the term “milk glass.”

  10. Dogmeat says:

    The farmer merely wanted to tone down the intensity of his porch light. He soon made a startling discovery, one he has yet to understand. Although the improvement isn’t that significant, his cows now come home 2% faster than they did before.

  11. Alleycat says:

    I’m skimming my whole mind, trying to milk all the puns I can for cheap laughs, but I’m coming up short of cheesy dairy puns.

  12. Krat says:

    Actually I really like this! Kinda like some neat up-n-coming danish designer style. Seriously, i’m sure you could find people to pay for this one!

    • Janet KM says:

      Yeah, trim the edges nicely, maybe scallops. Turn the handle toward the house so doesn’t distract the eye.
      Could paint / affix flower decals … no, those glow-in-the-dark butterflies and such that have to be recharged each time! Yeah, that’s the ticket!
      Could sell them at school fund-raisers, senior center sales, or church fund-raisers. In a *real* store? Not sure.

  13. bachaddict says:

    the lamp is bait for unsuspecting humans. when they come close enough it lunges out and grabs them with its sharp plastic jaws.

  14. Cayenne says:

    He would have used the whole contaner but the bottom half is in the frig with milk in it

    • Mikeski says:

      Nah, the baby from the previous post just finished it all. Couldn’t work on this kludge until the previous one was finished.

  15. Cayenne says:

    The udder half is in the frig with milk in it

  16. dono1 says:

    I bet they’ll leave that light on till the cows come home.

  17. Ducked Ape says:

    Because just a bare bulb would look – trashy.

  18. Pat says:

    What? No Easter kludges?

  19. Little Girl Blue says:

    Wash it, fill with water, and put in fridge.
    Cut it in half, fill with dirt, and grow herb seedlings.
    Cut holes in the sides, fill with birdseed, and hang on tree near kitchen window.
    Cut in half with child safety scissors, cover porch light, and use as a warning to other leaky milk jugs.

    • kc/cc says:

      Ahaha! This made me think about watching Super Friends cartoons when I was a kid. All these super heroes would run around fighting crime for a while, and then there would be an inexplicable craft project segment.

      Superman: “Let’s gather a few household items, kids: milk jug, scissors, thread spool…and I’ll show you how to make a piggy bank.” Even then, I thought that was pretty weird.

  20. mew2 says:

    Naw…you just change the type and intensity of the entertainment. Now, instead watching the bugs slam into the bulb you get to watch the plastic slowly melt over the bulb in a Dali-esque fashion, followed by counting the number of fire trucks that respond to the 9-1-1 call…it’s a two-fer!

  21. NM says:

    I hear that plastic porch chairs just love to make out under this kind of light.

  22. NM says:

    Ah, this is how you tell where the Milkaholic lives!

  23. gerusa says:

    Actually I was thinking to do the same ..they steal my idea! ;)

  24. Archangel says:

    Bring home half a gallon of evaporated milk.

  25. Archangel says:

    This is what you resort to as a speculator when the bottom falls out of the milk market.

  26. duktaype says:

    I’ve actually done this klugde. mine was for a drop light for working on the car though. and yes the bulb did eventually melt the plastic. but it did work.

  27. wave_dog says:

    uh… how the… how did they get the bulb inside the bottle?

  28. meeeeeeeeee says:

    possible beatles reference?

  29. splatman says:

    Pretty clearly an incandendant bulb in that plastic milk jug top.
    I seen a billboard back in the 90′s, that said “Melt some milk”. Not shure this is what it meant.
