Cushrooms

Ahh, I love it when all of my favourite things come together. Super Mario Bros and Novelty cushions. Perfect fodder for a post. And you can get them here. I do wonder why cushions are always so expensive…

Full of hot air

The pirate v ninja debate always seems stupid to me. Ninjas could take down a Somali pirate quicker than a US Army sniper could say whatever it is they say before pulling the trigger. But if you have persistently insistent friends you can shut them up with this inflatable duelling pirate and ninja set. Found here.

Let there be blood

If you’ve decked out your bathroom with the previously mentioned bloodstained curtain and bathmat then you’ll no doubt be really keen to get these complementary lamps. They’re not cheap.

Get the party started

Just what you’ve always wanted. A way to turn Russian Roulette into a fun party game. With balloons. It could double as a starters pistol for those allergic to gunpowder and willing to put up with five rounds of uncertainty prior to a race…

Give your room the kiss of life…

Why you’d want this Kiss head in your room pretty much speaks for itself.

But perhaps you’d be more excited if you knew the tongue was a plasma lamp.

Get yours today.

Arty fact

I was once convinced (and probably still am) that that which divides art from the everyday is the frame an artist puts around something. The declaration that it is, in fact, art. Without a declaration the thing is just a thing.

Turn your fruit into art with this revolutionary still life fruit bowl. I would buy one of these. If K-Rudd had given me my money.

Coffee breath

If you drink as much coffee as I do you know there’s nothing more appealing than that stale coffee smell on your breath as you arrive at work. Well, now, thanks to this dental floss, you can carry that scent around with you all day… because that’s what we all want.

Moka Bot

Ever wanted a robot army? Me too. You can start building one (or purchasing one) by buying some from this guy – heaps of them use bits and pieces of coffee paraphernalia.

Lame segway

Why buy a pedal powered scooter when you can build a pedal powered segway?

You know the drill

This makita ad went the hole way. The picture is made using more than 20,000 holes.

Gloomy mug

Here’s a mug for those of you struggling with overbearing optimism. Just $US9.95.

Most fantastic resignation letter ever.

I did post a picture of a guy who resigned via cake. But this guy’s efforts take the cake from that one. He’s a game developer who programmed a Mario level to end with his resignation note.

You can play it here.
