If you’ve ever dreamed of being Eddie Van Halen, now is your one and only chance. Kevin Dugan, the designer behind Eddie’s guitar from his 1986 Van Halen 5150 tour and Van Halen’s Crew Chief for 25 years, is auctioning off that very same guitar for around $35,000 to $48,000 with a starting bid of $25,000. With a price tag like that, I’d never play it. I’d keep it in a glass case behind metal bars in an underground vault. I would worship it every night, right before bed. Occasionally, I’d wear it around for show just to make Vince jealous.

And then I wake up and cry because I don’t own EVH’s guitar. Damn.

Are you the kind of person who loves to limbo to the Macarena but never has any friends willing to hold the bar up for you? Whether that’s the case or you just don’t have any friends period, there is a solution. This limbo device is activated with the touch of a button that has multi-colored strings creating a fluorescent arch that challenges you to lean backwards and dance through. You’ll never want to play with that boring stick ever again.

No friends and no stereo system, either? You’re one sad soul, but that’s alright because Limbo String comes with its very own limbo music to get your ass shaking to the floor. For $45 bucks, it’ll bring more life to your lonely Saturday nights than any Sarah Jessica Parker blow up doll ever could.

Designed by fellow New Yorker and Brooklyn-based artist William Lamson, this lifehack is probably the easiest way to eliminate a public security camera. First, you’ll need a helium-filled balloon and some string. A weight won’t hurt either. Get the balloon full of static electricity and then raise it up to the camera.

As it sticks, tie the string to the weight and enjoy your new found privacy. I’d imagine that many a shitty graffiti artist will be using this method in weeks to come. Running low on static? Use duct tape.
