Everyone has that relative who seems to feel that fouling the air is a birthright and they feel free to do it anywhere and any time. Get them a pair of this underwear as a gift to give them a little constructive criticism. The padding cuts down on the noise and smell and the printed STOP on the rear gives them some excellent advice. Not that they will listen but it is still a fun gift. It is also the first time I have seen the word Reekcycle. Very nice.

We all need to watch each other’s backs and keeping each other informed when the police show up to kill all the fun is a good way to do it. I am not sure how Warner Brothers would feel about their logo being hijacked for this t-shirt but I am guessing they would just have to laugh. I know I did.

There are two ways to play a drinking game. You can play to win or you can play to lose. The beauty of a drinking game is that in both cases you pretty much win. But if spending your night bent over a toilet is not your idea of fun then you can give yourself an edge with this Flip Cup Glove. The manufacturer promises that it is “scientifically engineered to counter balance the velocity of your flip cup while reducing muscle strain allowing you to utilize optimum control over your hand”. Your friends will both amazed and drunk when you flip your cup perfectly every time. Get one for your whole flip cup team.

If you do a lot of downloading or installing of programs you know how long they can take at times. And if you are pregnant you know how those 9 months can drag. This shirt nicely combines those two time warping events and does both of them justice. It may be a slight exaggeration to say that some downloads take nine months but it certainly feels like every minute of it while you sit there and wait. At least the pregnant woman has a better payoff at the end.

Kittens are cute aren’t they? You would think they would make for a cute pair of shoes as well. That is unless that kitten happens to be nothing but a skeleton. In that case it looks more like a rodent than anything cute. These shoes are probably more useful if you are heading to some goth hangout than to a black tie ball. I don’t even know who goes to black tie balls any more so you would probably find some uses for these.

I has been the fodder for many a lawn fountain and booze dispenser in its day, but this is the first phone charm that I have ever seen that is inspired by the famous peeing statue in Brussels. When you pull the chain, a realistic looking plastic stream of urine emerges to the delight of immature people everywhere.

wall-e costume.jpg

As you may have heard, the Wall-E movie hits theaters today, which means your kids will be begging you for toys. This deluxe Wall-E costume is sure to keep them quiet. You could probably do a decent job of replicating it with a cardboard box and a pair of goggles, but hey…this is official merchandise.
