The SoundBall – for a bit of noisy fun

This is the absolute perfect gift to buy for someone else’s kid. Preferably if you aren’t around them that often. Not that the ball is overly loud, just that it constantly is making some kind of noise.

Check out the video to hear it. The noises are clever, but would get old after a while. Really it sounds a lot like an old Atari game. It works by using Bluetooth technology. It tells the computer whether the ball is being hit, thrown or spun via a motion sensor from within. Then it in turn tells the ball what noise to make.

I seriously hope you aren’t eating right now, if you are, you might want to read this after you are done, depending on what you can stomach. They call it the Turd Twister and it’s exactly what you think it is.

No Vibrating Pet Massager for my dogs!

By Vincent Nguyen on Monday, Apr 23rd 2007 No Comments

It’s disturbing to know that there is people out there that’ll buy this vibrating pet massager for their dogs. If my dogs (Taz & Oscar) think I’m getting this for them, they have another thing coming. Their daily activities involve sleeping; walking from the couch to the food and water bowl, back to the couch and occasional pit stops to the backyard for a pit stop. Unless your pets have some sort of chronic aches or live an active pet lifestyle, this product isn’t really for you, or is it? Should you get one, just make sure you close your windows and the blinds; god knows what your neighbors will think of you.

The Total Health Vibrating Pet Massage cost $5.95, and it’s alleged to relieves sore muscles, tension, and “stimulate” oil glands for healthier skin and coat.

Rocket Fishing Rod-kills fish more efficiently

By Abby McVay on Tuesday, Apr 3rd 2007 No Comments

In today’s day and age Mom’s aren’t too keen on giving their kids toy guns. It’s slowly escalated, making the whole thing a bit more paranoid than careful at times. I find it a bit funny that with all of that going on in the world (America especially), someone invented a fishing rod that looks like a bazooka.

Everyone remembers the game of hot potato. When you think back on it, it was a pretty silly game with no consequence. Now what if you could make that potato truly “hot”?

The army of drumming hippies

By Abby McVay on Tuesday, Feb 27th 2007 No Comments

Now you can have your very own army of drumming hippies (drumming not drunken). I have no idea why, but I think these things are awesome. Yes, I realize they are a bit ridiculous. Not only that, but the girls also kind of look like troll dolls.

Sweet Nothings

I know any of you who have had a female in your life have heard that dreaded line. “I don’t want anything.” Be it for their birthday, holidays, whatever, at some point or another they say it. Then you are left with that horrible decision, do you listen or do you ignore it.
