a friend of mine who used to larp bought a coat of ring mail with in-game money.
he got metal armor for free.
he had to lie down and put it on because it was too heavy to lift over his head.

Hi winky.
I know a guy who knows a little bit about making chainmail. But I cannot mention his name or he is guaranteed to show up here. Maybe even in this very thread. *ominous background music*

Can you explain this image to me, or is it inexplicable? |

It's made to be generally inexplicable. However, the background of its creation is explicable:
I was browsing a site which features many artists from around the world, and found a particularly barmy one whom I started showing off to DeusJester. The first image was of a topless woman whose nipples had been replaced with gaping mouths. I seem to recall that she was also blue. He said, "Please tell me that's a car advertisement." We both appreciate associating bizarre things to unrelated things in very casual ways. The kinds of things that make you think what the hell? presented so casually as to make you hesitate once or twice before bringing yourself to actually ask what the hell? Every time I linked a what the hell? image, he'd associate it to some casual product. When I sent the image in question, the two girls with flies on their faces and a black-and-white female butcher at the bottom for no apparent reason, he said: "Cotton: The fabric of our lives."
When the time came to find or make a sig banner worthy of coordinating with the BUT BUT BUT meatgrinder image, there was only one true and righteous choice to be made.

That was going to be the first thing I linked to, but I honestly can't find the link anymore. Quite worried that I didn't save a bookmark to it, despite really liking the place.

That was me. My dad made an incredibly heavy shirt of chainmail in high school. Ttwo years ago, he did the scalemail out of spoons. He's also made his own atlatl with five-foot darts, a bow out of scrap polymer rods from Boeing Aircraft, knives out of hacksaw blades, sandals out of tires, a two-man boat out of a bunch of two-liter soda pop bottles, and a miniature flail out of a railroad-car ball bearing, a rectangle of rawhide and a short rope.
I keep meaning to upload pictures.

this guy will never, ever get laid so scratch that idea.
(fucking SCA.. I used to know these crazy skinhead guys that were into that stuff.. I went with them one time on a big SCA gathering at some fairgrounds out in the desert and it was actually pretty cool... there were hundreds of people there all assuming their "medievil" personas and I laid some waif in her tent. during the day they'd stage these massive "battles" with wooden swords and weapons covered in foam rubber and at night had these crazy drunken mano-a-mano wrestling brawls in front of bonfires to see who the king of the war was or something. talk about an easy place to get laid.. if you won the wrestling match you pretty much had your pick of the whole litter.)

That really does transcend into something awesome. How does he do it? Punch holes in the neck of the spoons and then link them with smaller loops?
That would look staggering as sporkmail, but sporks are wildly expensive.

The process involves first cutting a portion of the handles off and drilling a hole on each side of the spoon. Then he cuts off a section of heavy wire, threads it through the adjacent holes on two spoons, and curves it into a ring. He does that enough times to create a long chain of spoons in a ring of the size needed. For the next row, after putting two spoons together with a ring, he puts the remains of the handle of the spoon beneath them through the ring and bends it back in a loop. That's what keeps the pattern regular.
The one problem with this method is that it isn't really possible to change the number of spoons in the rings , meaning the shirt is essentially cylindrical. You can't really shape it to the body, short of using a different size of spoon in different places. The shirt tends to bunch up in the back, a little bit; it's also hard as hell to put on.
I can't remember if I've ever seen a metal spork.
