Football Sausage: Pigskin… Literally
How long do you think the ball would last if it was really made of sausage? Those defensive linemen would be all-over that shit like white on rice. Om nom nom. Football Sausage is a great little football-watching snack. You never get between a man and his meat. Link [via]
Sleep Suit: A Personal Cocoon
You won’t be emerging as a beautiful butterfly, but you might just emerge as a more alert version of you. The Sleep Suit is designed to provide you with your own little personal sleep space wherever you go, while also providing a generous amount of airflow. Because nobody likes cocoon sweat. The project attempts to challenge the idea of personal space in relationship to the human body and its surrounding environment. It is inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s practice of Dymaxion...

145 Gaming Consoles, One Photo
While I’ve probably only played with about 10% of these if I’m lucky, the all-encompassing nature of this photo demanded to be shared. How many can you spot that you’ve actually played with before? Do you see anything missing? Link [via]
Return of the Jedi Sarlacc Scene Recreated with Action Figures
The Sarlacc’s Great Pit of Carkoon looks like it was recreated using an educational female anatomy model, but other than that this recreated scene from the Return of the Jedi looks just about right. I’d love to see the entire movie series recreated this way. That would just make my year. Link
Marylinized Monsters
Take an iconic movie monster, add some neon color and Warholian-flair, and boom… instant pop art. These Marylinized Monsters by Jesse Lenz incorporate the iconic Warhol portrait of Marylin Monroe, or at least Marylin’s hair, into famous portraits of famous movie monsters. Link [via]
Lightsaber Desk Lamp
Now, if this were a REAL lightsaber, not only would it be a great desk lamp, but it could also make an excellent paper shredder / boss disposal tool. As you know, lightsabers make everything cooler.
Space Invaders Tights Introduce the Dreaded Cameltoe Boss
I never made it to this level, which I think might be a good thing. I never would have been able to conquer the cameltoe mothership. Grab your own cameltoe-inducing (or camel-knuckle if you’re a dude and planning on wearing these for yourself) Space Invader Tights for the very hipster price of $80. Or you can try to make your own cheap and very rippable version out of wrapping paper. Link [via]
An Anti-Aging Oxygen Chamber for Dogs
While you might not be able to teach old dogs new tricks, you can assure that your dog doesn’t get old in the first place. Spotted in a space salon in Yoyogi Uehara, these two pooches are getting a healthy dose of oxygen to enhance their youthful glow and reduce the progress of wrinkles, because lets be honest, they just weren’t aging gracefully.

If Modern Movies Were Packaged Like Retro Video Games…
There’s something about the packaging of Atari-era games that really strikes my design fancy. The minimalistic bit style was both honest and gorgeous. I actually don’t think I’d mind if modern movie posters were designed in the same style. Some modern posters could certainly use the revision. Or at least a few zombies added here or there. Hit the jump for a few of our favorites.
Sega Genesis Business Card Case
I missed out on the original NES and SNES systems during their heyday, but at least I got to fool around with the Sega Genesis when new games were still being released on a regular basis. And boy did I play the hell out of my system. NHL ’94 and Sonic, baby. Hours of fun. Increasingly, more kids from Gen-Y are entering the business world. And I don’t see any other way of celebrating that fact then rocking the retro... Continue reading
