I get it. You’re too classy to put all your Wii-motes into a shoebox. You want something that’s stylish and has “Wii” printed on it. The Wii Remocon storage accessory is just that. While it’s no shoe box, it can double as a pencil holder or a box you can shit in.

It’s $7.99 per Remocon which comes in black, aqua and plain white. A penny more and you’re getting robbed considering each box can only hold one controller. Who am I kidding? Paying any amount of money for this would be like buying a lap dance from a stripper without legs. That’s alright, though. Wii fans are suckers for lousy futile peripherals.

Remember the Keyboard Organizer? Perfect for the one guy at the office whose always got a cluttered desk. It’s a standard keyboard that comes in black or white that not only is a fully-functional keyboard, but also provides storage space underneath the keys. It’s like a utility box inside your keyboard.

Well, the storage space isn’t the only reason the Keyboard Organizer has been turning heads. The creators, myKeyO, are willing to customize your keyboard with a design of your choosing for just $49.95. You’ll never be caught at a LAN party with the same keyboard as anyone and to top it all off: it’s got a secret spot to stash your weed. Now you’ve got the edge.

It’s a no-brainer that some people play WoW a little too much. MMORPGs have always been about investing an insane amount of time to develop your character. We won’t ridicule forum-goer Gamer Prepared who runs 36 accounts of World of Warcraft because after all, that requires a serious gaming rig. What better way to eliminate the entire purpose of playing in a MMORPG community full of other players by playing with only yourself.

Finding a guild is just too hard these days and dealing with newbies is horrendous. However, these aren’t the reasons behind Gamer Prepared playing 36 different characters. What’s the real reason? He wants to raid Ironforge and Stormwind with his guild. What a dork. It costs him $5711 in subscription costs per year and when he goes to pick up Wrath Of The Lich King, it’ll cost him $1500 for 36 copies of it. All of that money for one unsatisfying night of PVPing with 36 of your own characters with a town full of idle players and NPCs. Sounds fun.

When it’s been a long day at work and you’re sapped of any energy you require to pack up your belongings and scurry home, you’ll need to facilitate the process. A briefcase doesn’t come close to fitting your whole workstation in it like the Cyber Box does. It’s a cubicle on the move that, when on your way out, forces you to take the elevator.

Designer Jacky Nicolas wanted to give workers a way to lock up their computer into an elegant case when not in use. It was designed for home use, but I can imagine this working well in the cubicle-ridden world of business.  It’s like a collapsible fortress of solitude that you can lock up to keep Lex Luthers (your co-workers) away from.  You can bet that with a base made of beechwood, chromium metal parts and industrial castors, the Cyber Box doesn’t come in cheap.  Although, if you’re Bill Lumburg it won’t matter.

I thought I was really into Star Trek.  I have every episode from the original series and TNG as well as many articles of clothing and a beer bottle opener shaped like the Enterprise.  However, Bob Prior’s passion and fanboy-ism for Star Trek far surpasses my own.  He’s created Star Trek replicas from Rice Krispies boxes. From Kirk to Picard, Spock to LaForge, Bob has created over 50 models which include the Starship Enterprise, its command bridge and captains James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard. The funniest part of the whole thing is that his wife hates the show but has been putting up with his obsession all these years.

Says Bob:

“I’ve made models from the start – right through Deep Space Nine, Voyager and the films up to First Contact.”

Deep Space Nine? Ew! Now I know for sure he’s suffering from dementia.

Remember the hit toy the Furby? It was the first successfully domestically-aimed robot that sold well because all the kids just had to have it. But, just like the Tickle-Me Elmo or any other Christmas time fad, it died off and everyone forgot about it. That is, until David Cranmer skinned a few of them and turned them into a musical instrument that takes no skill to play unlike the Stylophone.

Using four Furbies, David managed to craft some intricate music boxes that wind up to release a kicking tune that proves Furbies are more useful and fun when they’re skinned and mounted. One is even being sold on eBay for a little over $700. If you check out the effort that has gone into making this musical box, you’d know that that price is not steep.

Did you get a ticket for talking on your cellphone while driving? Man, that sucks. Well, do something about it, get a headset. Better yet, get a headset to feed your nicotine addiction. Making calls is as easy as shouting into this cigarette box.

It’s designed for Nokia/Samsung/Sony Ericsson cellphones or people trying to get over cancer by reminding themselves that this pack is not smokeable. It’s the headset that doesn’t mind getting coughed all over, after all, it’s used to it. I’m amazed by the fact that this $6.79 headset is not only cheaper than a lot of headsets, but it’s also cheaper than cigarettes. What the fuck?

I love dogs as much as any man would but I’m very happy not having to pick up shit with a newspaper bag every day. However, if you do own a pooch and like to walk him/her in style, then may I suggest picking up some of these fancy poo bags from JungeSchactel? They’re 100-percent biodegradable, don’t clog up landfills and have funny little things written on each bag. I tend to be partial to “Shit happens.” and “Doggy style.”

Remember those kick ass noise-making key chains from the 1990s? If you can and remember the classic siren and laser sounds, then this mod is right up your alley. With a little circuit bending and DIY work, the Dub Siren Box became a reality.

Each pad is wired to an eight position selector switch. The pitch resistor is replaced with a linear pot. One push button is used to replace the original eight and another is used for mute. Plug the 1/4inch jack into a delay pedal and you’re ready to rock.

After watching the video, I was a little let down. It’s just a dude shifting the pitch of a key chain with a delay pedal. Since it’s mostly the delay pedal doing all the work, you could probably achieve similar results with a microphone, delay pedal and amplifier.

No one uses outhouses anymore. However, a cardboard box that you take a shit in has many practical uses for would-be shitting toddlers and adults alike. This lightweight portable cardboard toilet was designed for outdoor use and pops up from a convenient 14-inch flat pack form. Each package includes ten bio-degradable (good for the environment) poo boxes which can be yours for around $30.

Ideal for camping, festivals and pretty much anywhere you need to take a shit. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about The Brown Corporation (and their Shit Box) is their little poo mascot. His name is Little Jack and he claims that once you’ve taken a shit in this cardboard box, you’ll never want to use a normal toilet again. It’s that comfortable.
