You just don’t know how he does it.  Some people just like to keep cool as much as they can. If possible, they prefer to be shivering rather than sweating. Your boss, on the other hand, likes to keep the temperature more akin to a sauna than an office. And after hearing about that guy in accounting who got fired for commenting on the heat, you’re not about to ask your boss to turn the damn AC on. The Necktie... Continue reading

Part 16-foot water slide, part water fort, the Gigantic Water Play Slide includes a bouncy center play gym and a mountain climbing-like stair experience.

There’s not many ways to be perversely snarky on a nude beach. With all of your naughty-bits hanging out, there’s not much you can tell someone that they’ll find risque. If you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, these Anatomic Wetsuits, by Diddo Velema, allow you to appear not only comfortable with your anatomy, but brash enough to show more than what’s skin deep. Watch as women blush and giggle over your unveiled gluteus maximus muscle (that’s your ass).... Continue reading

If you like your burgers “still mooing,” but hate having to hear the damn thing whining as you chew, just threaten the beef with this Condiment Gun. The burger will shut up eventually. Would any slab of meat want to mess with a man on the edge, holding a gun filled with his favorite condiment? I think not. Fill it with Dijon mustard for extra brownie points (you damn elitist).

If only it were this easy. If only cattle ranchers could wait until the meat was properly seared before branding their name or symbol onto the animal’s hide. Luckily, as the resident BBQ chef of the house, there’s no need to hurt a weak and powerless animal. Just a dead and cooked one. The BBQ Branding Iron allows you to brand a message of choice in to your meat, before you beat it.

Warm temperatures, cool drinks and plenty of beach babes. Doesn’t matter. You’ll be that guy stuck in the beachhouse too busy to go outside ’cause he just got the new lime green Nintendo DS bundle and plopped down money for Chinatown Wars. Lucky. Link
