Bowl the zombies over

If zombies are taking over your neighbourhood and you want to welcome them with a piece of good old fashion hospitality you might want to serve up your delectables in a dish that looks like this…

From Etsy

Ringerprints

Etsy store fabuluster will send you a little casting that you stick your finger into and turn the results into a pretty novel wedding band.

I would have said unique – but a journalist I once met from Germany had something similar.

There are a few different varieties available and they are reasonably cheap (at $150USD).

Crocheted Characters

While we’re on the subject of cool Flickr sets… here’s a collection of crocheted characters from classic games

You can buy these, and others, from etsy.

Beware the unbread

This zombie toast statue looks like it should be blasted with a shotgun – and definitely not purchased.

Regretsy – the place bad etsy purchases go to die

Regretsy has taken on the task of documenting the crap sold on etsy for posterity’s sake.


Super Mario Clock

What time is it when the big hand points to Flower Power Mario and the little hand points to Mario64?

You can answer this question for your friends, countrymen or children if you purchase this clock from etsy.

Pirates v Ninjas: Black and white issue

First there was ninja v ninja checkers – and now a chance to settle the age old question – pirates v ninjas.

Good yarn

What is it with Etsy users and macabre toys? I can’t complain too much – they’re great blog fodder… sadly this particular item is sold out, but there are other similar products available.

Found here.

Soap Invaders

These soaps are obviously designed to lure geeks into the shower. And it just might work… but grapefruit scented? What were they thinking.

Found at Gizmodo.

Get soap in all the right places

It can be challenging to get Tetris pieces in the right place at the right time, just as it can be challenging to get soap into all the nooks and crannies… ok, that’s probably more talk about bathing than you can handled, particularly if you visualise things as you read… these Tetris soaps from Etsy might help.

Ninja Checkers

When your little sister (number 2), who is topping her course at uni (Business)  tells you to do something. You do it. Because you know it’s good business. She wants me to post this Ninja Checkers Set from Etsy. 

So I did. Also, it’s got ninjas. So it’s pretty much natural blog fodder round these parts anyway.

Pillow Talk: The whole pac

Two of my pet topics converge – novelty pillows and Pacman. Awesome. And hand made to boot – well not literally, you shouldn’t be kicking these… they’re art.

$US90 for the set – from Etsy.

Pillow talk: Gooba

Back in the 90s there was a spreadable product called “Gooba” which was simply premixed peanut butter and jam. By extension these sandwhich pillows are gooba pillows – but only if bought together. They’re sold separately. I don’t think they contain nuts so you don’t need a pillow epi pen.

Little sister number two is a big gooba fan. She even owns this shirt.

Overclocking

Geeks love overclocking. Making their computers more hardcore than the out of the box version. 

My wife loves this clock. And geeks will too. $US20 from Etsy. Found via Boing Boing
