But this?

Hug-E-Gram


Where’s the rest of Mickey Mouse’s body?

A Hug-E-Gram lets you give your hug to someone when you can’t be there! It is the hug that lasts. You will understand how very special the moment can be as the love and sentiment from you comes through. The Hug-E-Gram is available in 3 different colors (Black, Red or Salmon).

A salmon Hug-E-Gram. Sounds nasty.

WTF?

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Here’s an interesting (or not) site I found in a side-ad on Facebook today: facestamp.com.
It’s all in German but you’ll be able to figure it out - you upload a photo of yourself, and they create a stamp. Of your face. So you can stamp your face all over the place. What’s the point?


Do you think they could have found a less attractive kid to use as an example? Neither do I.

I wish my mother hadn’t flushed my goldfish down the toilet

(Sorry, Mom, I’m sure you were telling the truth when you said it was dead and “went to goldfish heaven”)

I might have been able to teach Molly a few tricks with this kit:

Dear Santa,

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

is it too late to tell you what I really, really want for Christmas this year?

This!


Bandai Gun O’Clock Alarm Clock

The concisely named Gun O’clock from Bandai is an alarm clock that can only be turned off with three successful “alarm kill” shots. So you will have to be awake and sober enough that your faculties you to quickly find your weapon and disable the intruding sound. Great for MI6 agents or others who prefer to sleep with a gun under their pillow.

Things that make me wish I had a baby

Babymops
Found in: The Big Bento Box of Unuseless Japanese Inventions

Make your children work for their keep.

After the birth of a child there’s always the temptation to say “Yes, it’s cute, but what can it do?” Until recently the answer was simply “lie there and cry,” but now babies can be put on the payroll, so to speak, almost as soon as they’re born. Just dress your young one in Baby Mops and set him or her down on any hard wood or tile floor that needs cleaning.

You may at first need to get things started by calling to the infant from across the room, but pretty soon they’ll be doing it all by themselves.There’s no child exploitation involved. The kid is doing what he does best anyway: crawling. But with Baby Mops he’s also learning responsibility and a healthy work ethic.
