This film themed sticky tape is pretty cool. I can’t think of any reason that you’d want to buy it, unless you’re storyboarding animation projects for work…

It’s Pac time
My love for cereal is well documented. Cereal should be one of the five food groups… Beer, Bacon, Coffee, Chocolate and Cereal.
This, I believe, is the pinnacle of cereal theming – the Pacman breakfast cereal, featuring marshmallows.
From this site – dedicated to collecting details about the breakfast cereals of today for the cerealphiles of tomorrow…
Lego Mario Bros
This giant Lego Mario statue is for sale on eBay. For another day. It’s currently at 3,500 Euros.
The Axe Axe
This guitar was featured on the Monty Monty Art website – but there’s a much bigger collection of musical sculptures here – including this strumpet (also from Monty Monty). That’s what I’m calling it anyway…
What lurks beneath
Every toilet should have one of these vinyl stickers just to remind unwary guests of the dangers of careless toileting.
How zit
This is from possibly the most disturbing website I’ve ever come across. It’s a site dedicated to the art of popping zits. Because it is an art.
It’s quite disturbing.
What’s more disturbing is that there’s a confectionery product designed for people who pop their zits, and want to eat them too…
You can pick up some boogers too…
Shirts of the Day: Playable Guitar (and drums)
These are the best shirts ever. I’m serious. It’s cooler than having a Lego base plate stitched into your shirt.
You play the guitar shirt using a magnetic pick – and actual guitar sounds come out. Buy it here. Now.
You play the drum shirt with your fingers. Buy it here. Now. Start a band.
The Electronic Guitar Shirt is incredibly easy to play because each button on the neck is a major chord. She went on to mention how you can play dozens of classic rock songs with very little skill.

Have a kit-chat
This is a nice piece of outdoor advertising. And the heading of this post is a reference to what a conversation on this chair must be called…

Big brother is watching
One of the fundamental, and mostly unmentioned, elements of “pick on someone your own size” is the idea that if you don’t there may in fact be a sibling or protector involved in the equation that you haven’t yet considered.
Where-fi
The same designer who brought the world the blood powered lamp has produced this wifi detecting rod…
Clever.
The only good toy cat…
Sadly, as far as I can tell, this isn’t a real toy but a work of art.
I found this particular dead cat at BoingBoing.
I would buy one, I’d also buy some of the previously featured roadkill toys that are sold on this website.
Splodge the hedgehog is great for those people hanging out for the results of my pathos laden letter to K-Rudd. He’s also great for those people wanting to traumatise their children with a plush toy. And he’s completely consistent with my own experiences with the Australian echidna…
An idea with no legs
Craigslist not only the place to go to let the world know about the attractive girl you didn’t talk to on the bus… it’s also, apparently, where you go to recruit people to function as part of your slightly bizarre Halloween costume.
This guy should get points for trying. Maybe. Here’s a bigger version of that picture.
If you haven’t clicked the link to read the picture for yourself – here’s the text…
So this might seem strange and really offensive to some but hopefully someone will reply. I have always loved the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Chewbacca has to carry around a half reconstructed C3PO in a backpack because he hasn’t reattached his lower body yet. For Halloween I would love to dress up like this. I’m big enough and strong enough to pull off both the Chewbacca look and carry around a lot of weight for the night. So I’m looking for a double amputee (someone missing both legs – preferably at the hip) to accompany me as C3PO for the evening. We should meet ahead of time to work out the backpack/harness system. There are a few parties that I want to attend and I think we will be the hit of any event we attend. Anyone up for this?
