I’m terrible at wrapping gifts, despite having done it for many years. You’d think that by now I’d have mastered the craft, but alas it isn’t so. There have been times where I’ve been tempted to order my gifts pre-wrapped, however, my relatives would surely be suspicious of all the neat folds and well-placed tape. Thankfully online gadget store Firebox is looking out for people just like me.
If you happen to order a gift from Firebox, they have an interesting alternative to the usual wrapping option. Instead of sending out a perfectly-wrapped gift, it will come looking as though a five-year-old (or someone like me) wrapped it. Complete with uneven cuts, uneven edges and crappy tape, your loved ones will know exactly who it came from. This extra special service will add a few extra bucks to your order, so depending on how many you’re buying, it might be fun to do.

Mortal Kombat is easily one of the most recognizable fighting franchises out there. Whether you spent your childhood trying to master the art of Fatalities (guilty), or are a parent worried about the impact of violent video games, you know this game. Over the years the game has evolved, but one thing has always remained the same, that awesome voice. Usually it says cool things like “Fight” or “Finish Him!”, but today, he says so much more.
The guys over at Maxim cornered Hernan Sanchez (the man behind the voice) and forced him to say a few lines that aren’t quite as menacing. Seriously, Forgive Him? I guess that one might fly in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. For the most part, these are pretty entertaining. The best part is that they’ve been arranged into a handy soundboard, which is located just to the right. Enjoy!
Today is election day, which means that US citizens like myself are feeling a a nauseating combination of excitement and dread as we watch our country hurl itself toward either a bright and sunny future or, if you’re voting for THE OTHER GUY, global thermonuclear war. And if you’re a US citizen, you’d better go vote, if for no other reason than it means you’re then allowed to complain about the result and how it’s all the fault of those batsh*t crazy radicals and it’s probably time to move to Canada already.
All we can really do at this point, though, is slump on the couch with a bottle of Scotch and see how it all plays out…
How many times have you spent an entire day working in the garden, only to discover a gnome has made itself at home a short while later? It’s a problem that has been growing over the last several years, to the point that some people are waking up to find dozens of garden gnomes on their lawn. If you’re ready to take action, then you need one of these Gnome Traps.
I’m not entirely sure why gnomes would be especially attracted to a small watering can, but if it works, that’s all that matters. This certainly would be an amusing addition to anyone’s yard, especially if they live in a neighborhood where everyone seems to have a garden gnome sitting on their lawn. The trap comes with two rings with a watering can as bait, and a gnome to set nearby. It’s only $35, and worth a few good laughs.
To be perfectly honest, I still haven’t jumped on the digital picture frame bandwagon. You’d think that as a geek I’d have gotten myself one long ago, however, I really don’t have any issues with hanging up real pictures. In fact, I’d probably end up getting one of these analog digital photo frames before getting the real thing.
Sure, it’s a bit cheesy, but anyone that’s used Photoshop on a Mac will get a good chuckle out of this piece. You’ll have to be quick, as there will only be around 50 of these frames made available for around $50.
Have you ever been sleeping at night, having a wonderful dream, only to have it invaded by some sort of advertisement or obvious product placement? I mean, there’s absolutely nothing worse than a dream where you’re flying around the world as Superman, when suddenly you’re confronted by a man that’s trying to sell you cheap Viagra. If this sounds like you, then it might be time to invest in a Dream Captcha.
Yes, it’s an awful play on words, but you have to admit that it’s still pretty amusing. It almost makes you wonder how long it would take someone to get if they saw it hanging in your window. Unfortunately you’ll have to make one of these yourself if you really want it, as it not currently for sale.
I’ve always loved cats, and generally enjoy having one around the house. Of course some felines have a tendency to scratch every piece of furniture in the house to bits, despite the fact that you’ve purchased a perfectly good scratching post. Others might decide that certain items around the house need “marked”. Well if your cat has a bad habit or two that you need to take care of, you might consider the Tabby Tote Cat Carrier.
No, this isn’t a real device (this one was), but it is hilarious. Yes, I know that it’s completely wrong, and I’d never subject an animal to that kind of cruelty. However, when you come home to discover your brand new couch has been shredded to bits, you’ll remember this one.
Toast is one of those foods that’s so easy to make that anyone can do it. But can you do it from the comfort of your computer? Yes, you can in fact make toast while sitting at your desk. How you ask? With this simple PC Toaster Bay, you can pop in a slice of white (or wheat, if that’s your thing) and have it heated to perfection.
Honestly, if it weren’t the end of August, I’d think that this were some kind of April Fool’s gag. Well, despite the late month, it is indeed a springtime prank. The product listing seems legit, however, the thought of installing something in my desktop whose sole purpose is to generate heat just didn’t sit well. Upon clicking the button to order it, I was informed that I was had, and the product is a phony. Oh well, looks like I’m still going to have to walk all the way to the kitchen. And here I’d already stocked my mini-fridge with butter and jam.
I love to eat cake. I rarely make one myself, as I know that I’m likely to eat most of if myself. Any time I’m at my in-laws and there is cake, I usually have to fight my brother-in-law over the last two slices of cake. We usually argue that the other had the bigger piece and so on. Now if only we had a Fair Share Cake Plate, there would be no need to complain.
The Fair Share Cake Plate is a novelty plate that has measurements along its edge marking down to the millimeter. With this plate,you can make sure that you get everyone’s piece the right size. The plate is a bit salty at $43.50, so I think I can deal with arguing over the bigger piece.
