Last night, I watched the David Lynch flick Blue Velvet for the first time ever. I was shocked so much, that I still don’t think I’m over it. The doctor tells me I should do something “fun and stimulating.” So, taking his advice, I dropped $10 on this UFO flying disc from ThinkGeek. It glows in the dark and transforms while in flight to become a UFO. At this point, I’ll take a space alien over Frank and his nitrous tank.
“Don’t you fucking look at me!”
In the future, cars will move very, very fast. It’s a damn shame our puny little minds will never develop the reflexes and reaction time to operate them manually. So instead, we’ll just slap high tech computers to the engines that’ll automatically drive the car at intensely high speeds for us.
This concept design by Iman Maghsoudi is said to be like any other car. The driver will have total control during low speed travels but once you make the jump to high speeds, the computer takes over and you’ll be off talking on your Ferrari phone without any need to mind the road. We already have the strange looking car designs, now who’s going to design the computer that drives them?
The Big Lebowski Urban Achiever Set. Featuring the Dude joined by Walter as they get ready for an intense bowling match with The Jesus. Each figure is 8″ tall and the set goes for $40 when they’re available in August.
Also, the Dude comes solo in a $25 dollar variation clad in his famous robe standing on top of the rug and it even includes a replica White Russian.
In the great words of the Big Lebowski: “What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski? Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn’t that what makes a man?” The Dude replies, “Hmmm… Sure, that and a pair of testicles.”
Let’s face it: Bruce Wayne is one cool dude. With all these gadgets turning himinto a super hero, it’s hard to step up. Now, for less than thirty dollars, you can equip yourself with this bad ass Batman cape that, with one touch, can rapidly deploy a 5′ wingspan. For the love of god, do not try to jump off of buildings like Batman or you will die because you aren’t Batman-you’re just dressed like him.
With The Dark Knight around the corner, you’ll need every possible Batman accessory to make yourself look like the biggest tool factory ever while waiting two hours in the line for the sneak preview. Considering that the cape can retract for walking through narrow spaces, it’s ideal for the theater.

Are you a bit overeager to get your kid launched in the air? Whether it be because you want him to be a pilot like dear old dad, or you really just want to imagine your baby soaring through the skies, the pedal-powered Mustang Plane will keep the little piglet busy for at least five minutes.
Of course, you could always grab someone else’s kid and perform a little football punt to watch a youngin’ float through the sky, but then you’ll more than likely have the child welfare offices, not to mention the FBI, tailing your ass like a prized glazed donut. The Mustang planes are made to order in about 12-20 weeks and will set you back a whopping $1,840.
Composed of 216 “high energy rare-earth magnets”, the Neo Cube is a relatively simple little toy which we can see just wasting hours upon hours of our time. The product page lists the Neo Cube as being perfect for “gaming, expression, stress relief, boredom busting, dual hemispherical brain stimulation, and hours of fun.” But they forgot one very important factor: procrastination.
Right. Procrastination isn’t much of a buzz word for selling a product. But let me tell you, I sure as hell won’t be focusing on dual hemispherical brain stimulation when I play around with the cube for an hour or three. Get your own for $25. Hit the jump to see some of the sweet shit you can make with the Neo Cube. (more…)
As disturbing as the image of Iron Man and The Hulk fornicating might be, I want you to think really hard. What would their love child look like if the two superheroes were to mate? Does it look like the pictured figure, or perhaps more green? Iron Man fan Jin-Saotome created this action figure, which he calls the Hulkbuster Iron Man.
In other words, it’s an educated guess on what the offspring would look like if Iron Man and The Hulk made whoopee. OK, not really, the Hulkblaster is just an awesome feature of the Iron Man’s canon weapon armor. Though if that ever were to happen, we would be better apt fearing for our life when the break-up argument ensued. — Andrew Dobrow
Fatties who recently lost a ton of weight like to joke around, saying things like “Wow, my fat jeans are so big that I can fit another person in them.” Ok, that’s great. You used to be fat. It doesn’t seem as impressive that you can fit another person in those jeans when something like Fundies is available for only $4.99.
As the packaging states, here is what is included “4 Legs And 2 Rears (2 Close Friends Not Included)” I would like to add that their are not two enemies or acquaintances included either. Another quote from the statement seems like an apt description. “Half the fun is getting in them, the other half’s up to you.” — Andrew Dobrow
There is an entire sub-culture of geeks who live in a world of Speedcubing. For you not of the geek persuasion, Speedcubing is the attempt to solve the Rubik’s cube as fast as humanly possible, sometimes in extreme situations, such as blindfolded and underwater. Available now in Japan is this Pro Rubik’s Cube Kit, which comes with all you need to be on the path to speedcubing glory.
The art of speedcubing is more complex then meets the eye. The Pro Rubik’s Kit comes packed with a removable tile which reveals a special hole for adding in the included lubricant and for readjusting the tension in the mechanism. All of these factors are what lead to solving a Rubik’s in seconds. — Andrew Dobrow
If you’ve been saving up your cash so you can own your own Ford GT Nitro, forget about it. It’s not worth the novelty when you can own your very own 1/5th scale remote controlled model of the car for a fraction of the price of the real thing. And when we say it’s a scale model, we mean it, not like one of those full-sized Hummer R/C jobbies. Featuring a23cc engine, a 450cc fuel tank and a 15kg metal gear ratio. It has 2WD and disc brakes for realistic stopping, plus a 3 channel FM radio, assembled chassis, and a Fail-Safe mode.
Large models always make things more awesome. It’s a scientific fact. Don’t believe us? It was proven by the good people at the Gearfuse School Of Fact Fabrication. Don’t shoot the messenger. Get your own Ford GT Nitro Gas R/C for a whopping $650, marked down from $850. — Andrew Dobrow
