    I found this crazy old walking stick, staff thing I was going to use as a shifter on the Fuzzbomb. I think it may be the COOLEST SHIFTER EVER......
    But, I don't know if it should be tampered with.

    It showed up today and it creeps me out.

    I don't know what the hell it is, but I'm pretty sure it is EVIL. This thing looks as if it has witnessed death.

    It's old, REALLY old. I dont know what it is. it looks like a staff of some sort. Maybe it's African?, or Egyption? Maybe it's some Voodoo thing from the south???

    It's creepy for sure.

    It seems to be hand made out of steel. It has this worn silver inlay all over the head. I don't know, I had to guess I would say it could be a couple hundred years old...

    It is about 3 feet tall.

    Do any of you guys know about this kind of stuff?

    How do I find out what this thing is? I'm totally ready to make a shifter out of it,
    but I don't want to **** with Satan. HaHa

    It is really like nothing I've ever seen before, except maybe at the museum when I was a kid......

    Thumbs.

  2. Whatever it is, it's pretty damn cool. I wouldn't cut it up until I knew more about it. Nice patterns in the metal on the head. Where'dja find it?

    I'll guess it's a club from an African cattle herding tribe. Probably Masai.

    That or it's a BONG from Kenya for the tourist trade! [​IMG]

    If I had to shift quick I'm not sure I'd want to grap that thing in haste.
    It do look cool tho. How about a hood ornament or on a gas cap?
     
  11. It looks like some sort of Celtic/Nordic pagan statue....kinda like THOR or something they would have worshiped...pretty darn cool

    ha ha-fill it with incense - nice

    that thing is creepy.

    forget making a shift knob out of it- just carry it around with you all the time like a cane and get a top hat and a cape.


    and grow a mustache.

    Yep, it's the devil alright, Frankenstein too. Notice the rivets in the side of the skull and the snake like texture of the neck skin. You must melt it down and recast the metal into the image of Norm Garbroski. That will kill the evil but not the uglyness. (Lest ye die)

    The devil is rampant in the world, angry, for he knows his time is short!

    That gives me an idea...

    Could you thred the bottom of it, so it could thread onto a threaded adapter on the shift linkage? Then when you get where your going, you could unscrew it and walk with a limp... Dual purpose Demons!

    Hood / grill ornament

    That would creep me out if I saw it in the rear view. I would have to go home an lay in the fetal position and cry myself to sleep (and then have nightmares about it).

    That is an **** probe used by Satan himself .The last time anyone had seen it was out in area 51 in the 40's or 50's. There were these strange markings on the ground with smoke and **** . Right in the middle of it all was this evil **** probe, some guy supposedly went over to pick it up , as soon as he touched it the earth oppened up and he was GONE!!!I want it!!!!!! and I want my wife to pick it up!!!

    Talk to Christies, or Sotheby's, or an ancient antiquities dealer, or take it to that "antiques road show". You may find that it will pay for a whole car. Screw the shifter.

    Whatever it is... make sure you have the camera rolling when you cut into it. I wanna see if you unleash some spirits or get struck by lightning

    It's a prototype "Shift-Cane" made by J.C. Whitney in 1963. They were inspired by an illustration of a shaman's spirit staff and decided to knock it off with dire consequences.

    First was the sculptor, Ed Washburn, he was taking the prototype home one evening to show his wife what he was working on at the office. On his way home, a horse being air-lifted from a flooded ditch was accidentally dropped through his windshield. He ended up in the didtch upside down with the staff protruding from his skull.

    Second was the cop, Charles "Willie" Burke, who pulled Ed from the wreck. As he walked up the bank to show his fellow officers the souvenir he'd pulled from the vicims head, he slipped on the muddy bank, slid to the bottom and was impaled through his heart on said stick.

    Lastly was John Cornelius Whitney (J.C. Whitney) himself. After waiting several weeks to be able to claim his company's property he spent the evening working late, sitting across the table from the object. No one actually knows what happened but the morning cleaning crew found him below his third story window, again impaled.

    Following these events the Shifter-Cane was locked away in the J.C.Whitney archives and was reported missing around 1977 during an inventory process.

    So in short, put that **** in your car and haul some ***!
