Kill Time Gun Mug

edwin — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 22:25:07 +0000

Want to find a way to kill time around the office water cooler literally? Get the Kill Time Gun Mug then, as this £7.95 purchase will let you have your finger wrapped around the trigger at all times while you’re holding it, and it will send a signal to the upper echelons of the establishment that while they can take away your freedom to gossip about the company, they can never take away your freedom to have a “gun” trained on seemingly draconian company laws and regulations.

Stapler Skull looks hilarious

Skulls are supposed to be scary stuff, but check out this Stapler Skull that seems to come painted in a myriad of colors, complete with an ever happy grin. Good thing this one won’t go chattering away at night when there is only one person left in the office, since the hollow in the brain area will hold all the extra staples, while his teeth will function as the stapler. Gotta love the weird fluorescent green feather-like brain of this $49 purchase. Pretty steep in terms of pricing, yes, but the novelty factor is another thing altogether.

Squirt Gun Pen

Want to spruce up office meetings with a little fanfare? The Squirt Gun Pen will come in handy, although do play with it only if you are the boss, or the boss isnt’ around. After all, you wouldn’t want to get all of those fancy looking official documents wet just before some corporate bigwig comes along to sign it, do you? Good thing it writes like a regular pen with a twist-out pen tip, although it does double up as a mini squirt gun as well. This could be the most stress relieving $8.98 spent at the office, or it could very well get you sacked.

Powerbooks turned into snowboard

We know that Apple PowerBooks weren’t exactly the cheapest notebooks all those years ago, but then again they could be much more affordable than purchasing a whole new snowboard. Which is where this seemingly brilliant idea came about – merging two PowerBooks into a single snowboard. Of course, Apple lovers will probably cringe to see power drills desecrating the sanctity of what was once a sought-after notebook, only to have it slide down a slope of snow while providing an adrenaline rush of the different kind.

360° Pen to irritate those around you

edwin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 09:00:39 +0000

We’re pretty sure that some of you out there have twirled pens and books in class before, much to the chagrin of your teacher or lecturer. However, there are some of us who have failed to master that art, which is where the 360° Pen comes in. It comes with a hole where you can slip your finger through, allowing you to twirl it all day long (save for breaks where you are supposed to write down notes and stuff, of course. No word on pricing, but this makes for a great irritant.

Washboard necktie set to annoy

edwin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:15:59 +0000

Love making a nuisance of yourself at company meetings in order to live up to your reputation of being the resident office clown? You won’t go wrong with the Washboard Tie from Urban Outfitters, where it merges the best (or should we say, most foolish) of formal wear alongside a musical instrument. Made from stainless steel, you can be sure this is one tie that will never rust no matter how many times it is washed. It will come coupled with a two thimbles in order to increase its effectiveness where making noise (and not music) is concerned.

Cross-shaped USB 2.0 Laptop PC Desktop 4 Port Hub Red

edwin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:30:01 +0000

How many USB ports can a geek have? The right answer would be, never! After all, a USB port is to a geek what handbags and shoes are to most women, you never know when you might just need one. This USB hub takes a very different approach from normal ones by coming in the form of a flower/symmetrical cross, adding in a quartet of ports to your computer for you to plug in another four devices of your choice. Too bad it doesn’t do USB 3.0 yet, although we’re pretty sure that we will see the same design sometime down the road with USB 3.0 connectivity. It is currently going for $6.69 a pop.

Vomit Station

edwin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:06:16 +0000

Show your superiors just how displeased you are at that day simply because you got up on the wrong side of the bed, using the Vomit Station to convey your feelings without the use of words. This person is currently paying homage to the porcelain throne, puking out whatever leftover fire curry he had for dinner last night while using his buttcrack to hold up business cards or other reminders that you’ve written down on a piece of paper. A magnetic mouth is also available for paperclips, while there is enough room for a note pad, some pens and pencils. $18.00 is the asking price for something so zany.

Building Block Calculator

edwin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:44:50 +0000

Remmeber back in your younger days when you wish you grew up as an architect? The Building Clock Calculator might be just the thing to rekindle that ambition when you’re balding and 40, shacking it up in a dead end job at the local hypermarket, using it to calculate the daily sales figures. This Building Block Calculator won’t be able to come up with magical figures that allow you build the next wonder of the world, but it is able to add, subtract, multiply and divide much faster than you when it comes to complex calculation. Available in red, green, blue and black colors, the Building Block Calculator retails for $26.99.

Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer

edwin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:42:48 +0000

If you’re one who does plenty of presentations on the go, then chances are pretty good that you will find the Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer to be well worth the purchase by impressing the numerous Star Wars fans in your audience. A subtle use of the Jedi Mind Trick, if you will, to listen in to your presentation simply because of this common ground by being a fellow Jedi maniac. Too bad it only comes with red dot lasers instead of the purple colored BMF that belonged to the late Mace Windu or other color choices. Guess the Sith wins this time! The Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer will retail for $14.99. Too bad this isn’t going to look too professional in a business setting.
