Because It’s Friday: Abraham Lincoln Made of Cheddar and Other Cheese Sculptures

cheese-sculpture1

We like to get down on Friday’s with the best of them. And what better way to get down then to celebrate the greatness of cheese sculpting? I know I’m excited!

These sculptures make my feeble attempts at sculpting a cheese penis out of my measly string cheese look like pure amateur play. Cheddar happens to be my favorite, and I’ve never been one to hesitate eating a U.S. president when I have the chance. As it turns out, cheese sculpting has its own dedicated niche. Very dedicated.

A toy we can relate to, the 40-Year-Old Virgin Talking Doll

40_year_old_virgin_doll.jpg

We’d have to do some research, but we’re pretty confident that middle-aged virgins are among the highest niche demographic of viewers we receive from our daily traffic. We’re not positive, just a hunch. Most action heroes have nothing, but braun and super powerful chop motion. Andy from The 40-Year-Old Virgin just has his never before used penis.

The release of this talking Andy doll, themed from the movie of the same name, is another addition to the recently released action figurines of people who really have no significant powers. Other than the power of laughter maybe. Yet, we laugh at them, not with with them. Check it out for $16.99. Vid after the jump. (more…)

Make music with a Sardine Can Instrument

Sardines aren’t only for train squatting drifters anymore. Made entirely out of a sardine can, “The classic” is a homemade pocket piano. The classic is available for sale over at Etsy for $120 with only 1 in stock. That’s right, this thing is EXCLUSIVE to the max. If you’ve been looking for a homemade instrument or are just a really big fan of sardine mods (we don’t even know if there is a niche for that) then you might want to check it out. — Andrew Dobrow

Buddha Machine soothes soul and remains light on your wallet

buddha machine

With as many huge storage units for media that are on the market, they’re are relatively few dirt cheap alternatives for people who just want a little peace of mind. The Buddha Machine is a “sound box” from China which comes with 9 prerecorded loops and much applause from fellow meditation fans. With both a headphone jack and a built in speaker, the choice is yours as to who hears what. The loops were written by FM3, a duo of Christiaan Virant and Chinese musician Zhang Jian, based out of Beijing. So sure, you can’t upload your own tunes, but if your needs are limited to this niche, you can’t do much better then getting this $25 gadget. And anything that musician Brain Eno bought so many of (eight according to the product page) is good enough for us. — Andrew Dobrow
