The Frictionator: World’s Fastest Street Legal Jet Truck

frictionator

This truck might look like your average pick-up, but inconspicuously attached to the truck’s pick-up is a General Electric J85 Jet Engine. Wouldn’t have even noticed unless I pointed it out, huh?

The jet engine boosts the trucks horse power up to a massive 7000 hp, allowing the truck to hit a max speed of 200 mph. Believe it or not, this monster is technically street legal. That’s until the engine’s heat turns the following vehicles into heaps of molten lava. No guarantees that you’ll be street legal yourself after your deafened by the engine’s roar. If this thing can be street legal, so should a Boeing 747.

Steampunk Spider-Man

steampunk-spiderman

Looking as though he was pulled directly from the bronze-alicious Victorian times, Steampunk Spider-Man is not amused by your weak fleshy body Toby Maguire. Why must you give the spidery superhero a bad name… with your pathetic flesh and bones.

He’d be laughing menacingly if he only had a pulse.

ea-sports-active-store

In preparation for the tremendous Christmas rush, EA Sports has taken it upon themselves to open a pair of stores, one in San Francisco, one in Boston, dedicated to only one game: EA Sports Active.

Sure, the demand for Active is so exceedingly high that normal retail outlets are sure to be bombarded with a stampede of eager EA maniacs… really, it requires its own storefront? And not only one… but two? And are there actually people in there that aren’t employees? Who are these people?

Foosball Coat Hanger Has Got To Be Some Sort of Penalty

Offside-Foosball-Coat-Hanger

Don’t let people judge you just because you opted for a foosball table instead of a kitchen table. Like we ever have time to eat at home anymore anyway. I mean, hellooooo, it’s the 21st century. In fact, flaunt the fact! Accessorize and accentuate your foosball theme. And what better way to accessorize your home decor than with a few coat hangers.

Lay down your beer bong and slip off your jacket, the Offside Foosball Coat Hanger provides an excellent tabletop game-themed spot to keep your room organized. Just because you live in a mancave, doesn’t mean said cave needs to look like a pigsty.

CTRL+ALT+DEL Cup Set Force Quits Your Tea Drinking Plans

ctrl-alt-del-cups-set-1

Windows users are all too familiar with the CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination, loading the task manager and allowing you to force quit any applications which are acting screwy, which at some point, is every app on Windows. Seriously, at some point, every app will have failed at least once, including the Explorer itself. Actually, especially the Explorer itself.

I really hate digging on Windows so much. But it’s sort of like a Jew making a Jew joke. I use Windows myself (at least about half the time), so I’m sort of allowed? Right?

Etre Touchy Gloves Keep You Warm and Connected

iphone-gloves

Not quite completely fingerless, but just enough so that you can access your touch screen phone, the Etre Touchy Gloves keep your hands as warm as possible, covering all of your fingers except the thumb and forefinger. Sure, it might be mustache-free, but that’s the price you have to pay.

With only two fingers missing warmth, you might look a little silly, but the utility of not having to remove your gloves, and not being pushed away from wearing gloves in the first place, is so worth it. The winter chill is harsh, but so is not having any access to my iPhone. At least I can save my other three fingers from frostbite.
