A Clockwork Smurf


This little blue guy likes long walks on the beach, hanging with his droogs and ultraviolence… and unfortunately is no longer for sale.

Replica Vader Arm


This robotic Vader arm would be a welcome addition to any nerd’s toy collection.

From Think Geek:

  • Build, use, and display Darth Vader’s robotic arm
  • Assembles easily with 45 snap-together parts
  • Grips and holds lightweight objects

I like the fact that it can grip and hold light objects – I see a real application for this for anyone who wants to maximize their sofa time by not having to reach for snack bowls and remote controls. It could get messy but practice makes perfect.

Price: About $40

Camp Chef Oven Lets You Get Creative With Your Outdoor Cooking


Now, I know that there are going to be a bunch of people that say you don’t need an oven on a camping trip. They are the same people that tell you that you don’t need any electricity and that you definitely don’t need a television. They probably aren’t the hardened campers that you think they are, because those who camp a lot are happy to have a few creature comforts.

The Camp Chef Outdoor oven is a 3,500 BTU propane powered oven that is big enough to rustle up a small batch of cookies, a pizza or if you cut it up first, some roast chicken. Up top sits a pair of 5,300 BTU burners.

Who needs this sort of stuff for camping? People who spend more than a couple of days sleeping in a tent. When I was growing up we would go to Victoria, Australia’s surf coast and stay for a couple weeks at a time – an oven would be a good way to introduce a bit of variety to the usual camping diet.

Price: $175

–Thanks Greg!

The Spice Must Flow Apron


You know why “the spice must flow”? Because it bends space and time and “He who controls the Spice, controls the universe!”

Appropriate for an apron, don’t you think?

Price: $19.99

FML T-shirt Is Most Inspirational Garment Ever

If you don’t know what “FML” means then you have probably been spending far too much time outdoors doing stuff instead of being inside surfing the Interwebs where you belong.

It goes something like this:

Today, I was forced to spend an extra $318 for another plane ticket to Dallas. The ticket wasn’t for my daughter, my mom, or my sister, but for the quarter of my butt that apparently needs its own seat. FML

If the folks at Think Geek had made this into an undershirt it would be something that you could wear to work everyday.

Price: $15.99 – $17.99 (dependent on girth)
