Apparent Death Opossum Mug

We are not dead yet. Not even pretending to be dead. Our bodies have assumed a deathlike state of their own accord until things are safer out there. Did we fool you?

Cup available in my Etsy or at local Tucson events. I'll be at Tucson Peace Fair on 2/28 and Tucson Terror & Oddities Market on 3/14.

We know what you’re thinking. R.I.P. Halloween 2019. But not so fast! The fearful fete is rising from the grave today one last time with a little help from Christian Henry Eisenbrandt (1790-1860)’s patented protection against inadvertent live burial.

Outfitted with a motion-sensitive assortment of springs and levers attached to a metal headplate and finger-ring, Eisenbrandt’s coffin lid was designed to spring open at the “slightest motion”. A mesh lid was also in place to prevent suffocation, should anyone be both lucky and unlucky enough to still be breathing post-burial. Eisenbrandt was not a coffin-maker by trade, which is why his invention was manufactured with the assistance of cabinet-makers Charles Bobeth and Harman Schulenberg.

Eisenbrandt was a manufacturer of musical instruments who arrived in the United States from Hanover in 1807, fleeing the threat of conscription in the Napoleonic Wars. After attempts at establishing himself in Philadelphia, then New York, he arrived in Baltimore in 1811, where he found a welcome home for his trade in fifes and woodwinds. Born Heinrich Christian Eisenbrandt, he changed his name in the United States, operating at times as Henry C.E., Christian H. E., or, as seen here, C.H. Eisenbrandt.

Before he died in 1860 (or did he?????), he exhibited his work in the New York, at the Maryland Institute for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, and in London’s Great Exhibition of 1851, the first World Fair, where he received a prize medal for workmanship in the category of ‘clarinets and flutes’. His instrument-making business was passed to his son, Henry Raphael Eisenbrandt (1834-1886). It was renamed it H.R. Eisenbrandt and Sons in 1888 by his twin sons, a second Christian Henry Eisenbrandt (1861-1919) and William Albert Eisenbrandt (1861-1934). The company closed in 1949.

Eisenbrandt’s invention was patented on November 15, 1843 (you can see the patent here, and see the patent drawing digitized by the National Archives here). Those of you that are feeling entrepreneurial are in luck. The U.S. Patent Office declared that the application status of Eisenbrandt’s coffin expired just last week, on October 23rd of this year, along with a less ghoulish invention by Eisenbrandt; an attachment for locomotive engines designed to harmlessly fling objects and people from railroad tracks using a cushioned scoop and suspension cord net.

Mortal Kombat 2 On SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis) Part 1 NOTHING, NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU! Background Story Of The Game: 500 Years ago, the shapeshifter Shang Tsung was banished from the Outworld to the Mother Realm (Earth) for his crimes. There, with the help of his pupil Goro, a hideous half-human dragon, he was to atone for his crimes by unbalancing the furies of the realm, allowing his master Shao Khan and his evil minions to enter the domination and rule forever. He was defeated. He returned to the Outworld a failure, facing execution at the hands of Shao Khan, supreme ruler of the Outworld, the astral planes of Shokan and the surounding kingdoms. With the apparent death of Goro, his fate seemed sealed. But Tsung told Khan of his plan for revenge, a plot so evil and twisted that even Khan was persuaded to grant him one final opportunity to redeem himself. He cleverly lured his adversaries to the bizzarre Outworld where they would face a new challenge – a tournament hosted by Shao Khan himself. Today, the tournament begins…Again! I decided to play through the game on very hard mode with only 1 continue and I chose to play it through to the end with my favourite fighter being ”Scorpion”. This playthrough was completely honest and fair as I didn’t use any cheats what so ever and still found the game very easy. I tryed to fit as many fights in this video as possible. I will however put the cheats up for those that don’t know what the cheats are: Remember that these cheats …
