You’ve seen those giant tube-shaped dancing inflatable guys outside many businesses. They always attract attention. So why not do the same with your Christmas decorations with an Air Dancer Santa?
Shake it, Santa, shake it. Who knew Santa had those kind of moves? If your business (or home?!) already has a dancing sky puppet, why not switch it out for the holidays? Comes with or without the air blower.

It’s automatic, it’s systamatic, it’s hydromatic, why it’s grease lightning… or it’s the Egg-A-Matic Skull Shaped Boiled Egg Mold
Then once the eggs are hard-boiled, peel them and place into the Egg-a-matic while still hot and close the lid tight. Dunk it into cold water for a few minutes. Then remove your skull egg. Nothing scary about that other than maybe a little bit of elevated cholesterol. Eggsactly.

Gold, Jerry, gold. This bicycle is being billed as “The Most Expensive Extreme Mountain Bike in the World”. And it probably is since it’s priced at a cool million dollars. Made by the House of Solid Gold, this bike has a Salsa Mukluk XL 21″ frame that was electroplated with 24k gold. Presumably a solid gold frame would be kinda heavy to pedal around. But it’s not just the frame that’s gold, everything is:
Bicycle aficionados probably recognize those Shimano parts under all that shiny shiny gold. Would like you like to take a drink, Mr. Goldfinger?
That water bottle is not only covered in gold, it’s also covered in stingray. The bike also has a THSG emblem on the post that has 600 black diamonds weighing 6 carats total and 500 golden sapphires weighing 4.5 carats total.
Sit your wealthy ass down on that custom alligator seat. If you want this bicycle, act now because only 13 of them will be made. Don’t worry about some imposter coming along with a Schwinn and a can of gold spray paint, as each of these real ones will be laser engraved with the artist signature, dated and numbered.
Each of these “fat bikes” (which requires a fat wallet) takes over 750 hours to create. If you’re still hesitant about hitting the “add to cart” button on the seller’s site, maybe the knowledge that 90% of the proceeds are going to a charitable arm of the Church of Scientology will help you pull the trigger on this. Or not. Maybe Tom Cruise will buy one for you. If you do buy this bike, I sure hope you have a good bike lock. (via iihih)

Amurica! Land of the free, where you are free to build any type of mailbox you want (as long as it conforms with certain USPS regulations). Well one New Jersey man took it to the extreme and built himself a 350 pound (plus a 1200 pound base!) Smith and Wesson .44 Magnum mailbox. Of course, it helps that he’s a cabinet maker and metal fabricator.

The barrel of the gun was made from 8 inch PVC pipe and it took him 4 months to build it in his spare time- an hour or two a day. The cylinder is mounted on ball bearings and spins in the breeze. Nice work. (via)

Why should kids have all the fun? Adults can buy their own big wheels and pedal along with the kids with these High Roll Adult Drift Trikes. Sure, for $600 it’s a bit more than your dinky plastic kid sized one but it can hold grown-ups (or big kids!) up to 275 pounds and 6’6″ tall. So you’re actually never too old, too tall, or too fat to ride one. One thing is it missing is that plastic rear hand brake which enables you to do wicked skids on your Big Wheels. Perhaps a mod is in order. Speaking of mods:
That doesn’t explain this picture above which is a way cooler (and presumably custom) Big Wheels for adults. Great for those who have grown up physically but perhaps not so much mentally. (via likecool)
How much do you like table tennis? Enough to pay $20,000 for a table? Well then you’re in luck because Stiga has just launched the Showcourt Table. What kind of luxury features do you get for the price of a car? The tournament level table comes with a 30mm thick blue top for a smooth true bounce, three levels of under-lit LED lighting, a specially made net and post, and stunning good looks. Take the table out of the basement and show it off! You probably don’t want to play beer pong on it, just saying. Or maybe you do.

Watch out Maxell guy, there’s a new game in town. Actually I don’t think the Maxell guy is even in town anymore. Maybe it’s a dated reference. Let me rewind this tape and think about it. Dallyn Rule created this massive pair of headphones for the Vancouver Maker Faire. Yes they are fully functional. Yes they are more like speakers than headphones. Yes there’s a video.
That’s some real surround sound. The cool part is that you can listen to music (loudly) and it won’t mess up your hair. The bad part- they might be just sliiiiiiightly awkward to bring with you to the gym or on a train. Then again, you don’t really need to go the gym when you could just do a set of headphone lifts.

Geeks aren’t really known for their hygiene but for those special occasions that call for a neat mane, this is how they do it. With an Integrated Circuit Hairbrush you can groom yourself in the computer age. This circuit has enough computing power to…well actually it has none because it’s a five inch long plastic hairbrush.
If you dreamed of the day when computers would be doing your daily grooming, that day has arrived- sort of. More like you can groom yourself with a computer. Or something like that. This circuit won’t actually do any computations for you but you will look damn good not doing them.

Want some hot cocoa, Grumpy Cat? No. Tea? No. You know that you can only fill this Grumpy Cat No Mug with one thing- coffee. Even then, he’ll still probably say “no”. Don’t try feeding it to your Stuffed Grumpy Cat. It’s officially licensed, so all the proceeds go to funding Grumpy Cat’s continued grumpiness. No.
Take home and hold the cat that doesn’t want you back- Grumpy Cat. The Internet’s most famous cat (2013 edition) is coming soon in a soft and cuddly version- the Grumpy Cat Plush. Grumpy Cat is (reluctantly) taking over the world- first the ‘net, then the media appearances and here comes the merchandise. Look out Angry Birds, there’s a new pissed off animal in town and he’s not going to be turning that frown upside down anytime soon.
