There’s only so much you can do with gauged ear piercings. You can plug them with specially gauged circles. You can gradually gauge them until you can basically fit your fist through your ear lobe. But never before have you been able to wear a portion of a sea creature as ear jewelery. These 0 gauge Tentacle Earring Plugs come in an assortment of color combos and are available for your body modding pleasure for around $14 to $16, depending... Continue reading

This iPad decal is either suggesting that the Joker is an avid fan of fruit, or is merely implying that Steve Jobs is an evil supervillain bent on world domination. I’m just sayin’. Or maybe this Etsy seller just knows their audience a little too well. The Joker iPad Decal sold out for $15, but if you’re lucky you’ll be able to scoop one up if the seller ever decides to offer them again. Link [via]

Well then, there goes my dream of hosting the best end-of-the-world bash ever. This is the last time I let you rain on my parade McFly. Hell, if all else fails we can just have Marty travel back in time and infect the Mayans with AIDS, amirite? Link

Well, what did you think they did with all of that fresh Yoshi meat when the poor little guy gets offed besides using his skin as a scarf? HELLO! Barbecue! Sprite Stich Forum user jessii created these homemade Mario and Luigi Aprons just for special occasions. Luckily, I can find reason for a special occasion any day. “Umm, why are you going out in your Mario Apron, dear?” “Uhh, duh, it’s National Unification Day in Liberia.” True story. Wikipedia says...

None of this modern “safety-first” crap. Just your kids, fifteen feet in the air, supported by a few sketchy looking stilts. Anything in the name of Star Wars. And with a “4-sound electronic console” how could you possibly go wrong? Link

So, the other day I was thinking about how bad I’m going to torture my kids. And I’m not even going to wait until they’re old enough to defend themselves against the torture. Oh, no. Sure, call me evil. I call it crafty. The AT-AT Baby Stroller will hopefully ingrain some form of geekiness into my child’s mind even before they know they have one. Sure, they might wonder someday why The Empire Strikes Back makes them feel so at... Continue reading

Apparently Unicorn Meat is making an appearance in grocery stores nowadays. Not a big surprise. Such an abundant source of protein and magic is hard to come by. It’ll be so much more convenient making my grocery run now when I’m making my trademark Unicorn and Peanut Sauce with a Dried Apricot Demi-Glace dish. Link [via]

Save the airfare. Don’t stress about finding a ship pilot that’s actually willing to fly you into the harsh frozen wasteland of Hoth. There’s no need. We know why you’re going. And it’s no longer necessary. ThinkGeek has removed the need to travel across the universe just to pick up an authentic Wampa Rug. No bloodshed (at least on your part) is necessary. While the Wampa Rug isn’t in stock quite yet (we imagine it takes a while to kill... Continue reading

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen people go to extreme lengths for a little privacy, and it almost certainly won’t be the last, but this might be the first time we’ve seen such a ridiculous apparatus be made for use at parties. If you’re looking for a way to make yourself look like even more of a weirdo, the Speech Bubble is the surefire way to inhibit your social life. If the product image is any indication of its...
