The Shave Mobile Razor Phone is a real product from China and should probably win invention of the millennium because, damnit, that’s just a fine quality product right there. Tell me — you think you can make calls and shave at the same time? You sure as hell better! Q: What did the beard say to the razor cell phone? A: I’m sorry, I think we just got cut off! *swish* Hit the jump to see the box (complete with unauthorized use of David Beckham’s likeness), along with a link to the full CNET Japan review complete with videos and a ton more pics.
When I get married again If I ever get married again If any of my friends are ever talking about getting married I’m gonna suggest they make similar wedding invitations. Reenie [the future bride] sez, “The wording [on the back] is my favorite part. It reads: ‘[We] request the honor of your presence as two geeks save the princess, resist the dark side and pledge their lives (extra, or otherwise) to each other.’ And we snuck a Hyrulian crest in there too!” With adorableness like that can you believe she actually had doubts about using these invitations!? Mostly for fear that the older generations wouldn’t “get it.” But then she realized, “if people don’t like the invites then they probably won’t get the ‘ Mario Kart Love Song ‘ that plays on our wedsite, or the lightsaber duel mid-ceremony, or the gaming stations or my Death Cab for Cutie inspired wedding tattoo, or any of the other stuff that is ‘us.’” I assume you lost my address or something, because I haven’t gotten my invite yet. Also, what’s the open bar situation at the reception? What do you mean you aren’t having one? Oh, here’s my invitation! Yeah, not gonna be able to make it. Amazing comic book style invitation [offbeatbride] Thanks to Vicky, who rode a unicorn away from her wedding instead of a tacky convertible with baked bean cans clanking along behind.
We saw another steering wheel desk here on Geekologie quite some time ago, but I think we can all agree this is a much improved model . First of all, you can write/type at a normal angle and not the angle of the actual wheel . As a matter of fact, I’m using one now, and I’ve got to admit: it’s quite comfortable. Secondly, HOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT Hit the jump for a bunch of other worthwhile product shots.
In a feat of extreme-mowing , two men in Cambridge, England used a crane to lift a lawnmower high enough to trim one’s overgrown hedges. Nice, guys, I like the way you think — EXXXTREME!! The operator, who did not want to be named, is now nursing a broken hand, but said it wasn’t a fall from the mower that caused the injury but one off the crane. He admitted it was not the safest method of trimming the hedge, but said it was all done as a bit of a joke. They wanted to film the stunt, put it on the internet and see how many hits it got, but in the end had no video camera. That, my friends, is pathetic. Not only a broken hand BUT NO VIDEO. WTF?! I demand a re-do. But this time with fireworks shooting out the back. Oooh, and bikini girls. Plus more injuries. I suggest fraying the cables and loosening the mower blade. YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE CENTURY! And I want producer credit. High rider trims his hedge [stuff] Thanks to Patrick, who trims his hedge the old fashioned way: with a straight-razor. Yikes!
As we’ve learned in the past, personal selling takes skills. We’ve seen people do it right , and we’ve seen people do it horribly, horribly wrong . This is another example of successful selling. Once while washing a load of towells it got a bit out of balance and it got so out of control for a minute that I swear I actually saw a porthole to another dimension open above it just for a second, there were dinosaurs on the otherside and they looked scared too, it almost sucked me in but I held onto for my life to the deepfreeze. It sucked my shoes and pants off though and it got the iron as well which pissed me off because it was quite a good one. Luckily it sucked it’s own power cord out of the wall and stopped before the whole house went in. I drew a picture of the dinosaurs i saw incase people didn’t believe me, they are partly red because my green felt ran out half way through. Well, it’s been real folks, but I’m boldly going where no man has gone before. Pantless . DINO-RIIIIIIDERS! Hit the jump to read the entire ad (which is actually mad long) and see the dinosaurs.
Sad they stopped making new Futurama episodes ? Well cry no more my puffy-eyed compadre, Comedy Central just signed a deal for 26 new episodes beginning mid-2010! When the series returns with original episodes in 2010, it will be seven years after the show’s last original episode aired on Fox. That’s a much longer hiatus than the three years Family Guy spent on the bench before being summoned back by Fox. All key voice cast members are expected to return for the new episodes, along with the series’ core writing team. Nice, now I can finally reignite my love-hate relationship with Bender. Good to see you again buddy, wanna drink? What am I saying — I’ll kill you! Unless you have naked pictures of Leela, in which case, BFFs! I’ll kill you in your sleep. Comedy Central gives Futurama new future [abc] Thanks to Rigo, Nick, Julian and Sarah-Ashton, who have never received a package from Planet Express on time.
This is a sneak preview of the 3rd generation Kindle robot book . It’s pretty much exactly what I expect to see Amazon roll out next year. And speaking of rolling out — transform! I said transform! *touching breast* Stupid mannequin. The Kindle 3 [collegehumor] Thanks to Julian, who never learned to read and is already on the waiting list.
In the same vein as the famous photo reproductions (and classic video games ), this is a little gallery of movie posters made using LEGO blocks . I posted some of my favorites after the jump, but there are 21 in total so hit the link to see all of them if you’re into that sort of thing. But, if you’re into that other sort of thing , call me. I’m talking about sex with bloggers. Hey, a little experimentation never hurt anybody — it just electrocuted a few rats. Know what I’m saying? Go on, hit it.
ThruYou is a project by Kutiman that involves sampling videos on Youtube to create all new music . The results are pretty impressive. In Kutiman’s own words: What you are about to see is a mix of unrelated Youtube videos/clips editing together to create ThruYou. In other words - what you see is what you hear. This is the first one of seven different tracks, so if you like it go check out the others. And if you don’t, well, no one cares. But don’t let that stop you from leaving a Geekologie comment complaining about it. We’ll all pretend to care and/or believe you could do better, won’t we guys? Guys? Ha, I guess we won’t. Suck it! ThruYou Thanks to Riki, Amir and Patrick, who once sampled over 100 different candies in one day and all got tummy aches.
The BBC is reporting a new ‘zombie’ (H1Z1) strain of swine flu that is capable of resuscitating the recently dead. Holy sawed-off shotgun shit! After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.” If you haven’t guessed, this is fake as hell, but the story looks like a genuine BBC article (see picture). The only catch is it’s hosted on another website (bounce.with.me.uk). Still, you can probably trick at least a few of your dumber friends into buying it. And, if they do fall for it (and they are ladies), I want you to convey a message for me: I’m the world’s greatest lover. EU quarantines London in flu panic [bouncwith] Thanks to herbert, Trin, Alex ‘Bloody Shadow’ and andrew, who tricked all their friends into drinking the Kool-Aid and are now all friendless.
