AHAHAHAHA, I Must Have Them: Wolverine Claw Toys

 

This is a pair of $20 plastic Wolverine claw toys. They're pretty cheesewhizzy, but I still want them. I've been looking for something that says, "Don't mess with me" when I'm out jogging at night.

 

Apparently the fanny-pack isn't cutting it. "And you feel like something you could trip and impale yourself on is the right choice?" Please, I once chased a roommate with a circular saw, I'm not that clumsy. "What's up with the arm cast?" WE'RE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT NOW.

 

Thanks to carey, who agrees that, based on amount of arm hair, the model in the picture is a full-grown adult. A shameful, shameful adult (I'm joking I'd rock the hell out of those!).

Somebody's Calling The Cops: Blood Stain Wallpaper

Because I'm always looking for excuses to get the cops called to my apartment, PIXERS has released a line of 'bloody splashes' wall murals. They come in over 60 different styles and can be ordered in just about any size and shape you want, so feel free to go nuts. Just kidding, feel free to go with plain white walls and a couple framed movie posters. STOP TRYING TO BE SO EDGY. The path of a badass isn't paved with decorative wall treatments.

 

Thanks to beebs, who for some reason has bloody footprints and a hand behind her ba-- OMG, SHE HAS A KNIFE.

Smile And Say, "I Swear I'll Stop Eating The Blocks": A Sweet LEGO Polaroid Camera

This is a Polaroid camera made out of LEGO. It's cute. If you point and clicked it at an aborigine, it would steal their soul. And I would buy that soul from you to complete my soul necklace. Then I would use the combined power of said necklace and custom f***-up boots to destroy Jacob AND Esau from LOST. Then the island would be mine and I would throw a luau, where we will roast a polar bear. Am I a genius or what? Dharma-beer me!

I Must Have That: The Light-Up Bowl Of Cereal Lamp.

This is the Cereal Light by designer ideaka (aka Chris Haines). It looks like a glowing bowl of cereal and turns on and off with a touch of the spoon. Neat! This is just a prototype though, but Chris' website says they're going into production, so they may be available soon. Thankfully, I was able to get an early run model because I'm a powerful blogger. "And how many times have you tried to eat it?" EVERY SINGLE MORNING OF THE WEEK. So....nine?

 

Thanks to lilco, who allegedly has a Pop Tart lamp which sounds just as promising and twice as delicious.

EPL: Manchester City vs Arsenal 1-1

By Richard Clarke at the Etihad Stadium

Laurent Koscielny struck eight minutes from time as Arsenal plundered a deserved point at Manchester City on Sunday.

It looked like being a frustrating afternoon for Arsène Wenger’s side until the centre half celebrated his first start of the season by thumping home from 10 yards after Manchester City failed to clear their lines from a corner.

I'll Believe It When I See It: $9 Cardboard Bicycles

 

This is a recycled cardboard bicycle built by Izhar Gafni. It can allegedly support a rider up to 300-lbs (although their ass will engulf the seat) and is unaffected by water or humidity because it's been coated with anti-water and humidity stuff. I'm scientific!

In an article by No Camels, it was reported that the production cost of Gafni's cardboard bicycles was around USD$9 to $12 each, and he estimated that one could be sold to consumers for $60 to $90, depending on the components they choose to add.

Wow, so you're gonna make a bike for $9-$12, then sell it for for almost 7 times that? How about we make $9 bikes, then ship them to third-world nations so children don't have to spend the whole day walking to the mud hole and back just to get a bucket of water? Really free up some time to play with sticks and rocks.

 

Hit the jump for a lengthy video about the bikes.

Don't You Snap At Me!: Impressive Venom Bodypainting

This is a big dude bodypainted to look like Venom by artist Georgette of Devious Body Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. As you can see, that is NOT the face you want anywhere near your privates. Well, not unless you're used to catching alligators with your dingaling anyways.

 

Hit the jump for one more shot which I felt really highlights the painted-on abs.

Chinese Mechanic Builds Lamborghini Replica For $9,500

This is Chinese mechanic Wang Jian's homemade Lamborghini replica. As you can see, the scrap metal body has been pounded out to look like a Lamborghini Reventon. The similarities pretty much end there.

Wang Jian, who comes from a rural area of China's eastern Jiangsu province, pieced his motor together using a second-hand Nissan and a Volkswagen Santana.

Although some parts, such as the headlights and windshields are still missing, the car is otherwise fully operational and can reach a top speed of 160mph.

160mph? I find that a little hard to believe. Of course, the car doesn't weigh anything because it's literally just a scrap metal shell, so who knows. I DO know it's not something I'd feel safe in at 160mph. Or being towed behind a donkey.

Hit the jump for a bunch more shots, including the terrifying interior.

Now You're Playing With Power: Joystick Light Switch

This is the $30 Power-Up Arcade Light Switch Plate from ThinkGeek. It looks like an arcade joystick, but it's not -- it's a light switch. I know -- it was hard for me to grasp at first too.

 

The two buttons make different 'PEW PEW!' sound effects and the actual joystick controls the lights like a regular switch. Alternatively, turn out the lights the same way I do: not paying the electric bill. Come on, all the cool kids junkies are doing it. I'll touch your privates for a fix.

Forget Counting Sheep: Bed With Overhead Aquarium

This is a bed with a custom $11,500 650-gallon acrylic aquarium "headboard" spanning above it. That way instead of counting sheep when you go to bed you can count fish. Don't like fish? Get turtles. Don't like turtles? There's something wrong with you. There's currently a 3-4 months lead-time before shipping and the price does not include installation. They just drop that shit off at the end of your driveway and flip you the bird. "Good luck putting it together, @$$hole!" I imagine them yelling before backing over your mailbox and speeding off.

 

Thanks to PYY, who's proud of me for not making a "sleeping with the fishies" joke.

Sports Car, Distillery And Hunting Lodge Air Fresheners

This is a line of spray air fresheners from Archer that could make even a lady's powder room smell like somewhere a real manly man (like myself) would want to hang. The $14 sprays come in three scents: European Sports Car, Distillery, and Hunting Lodge. A brief description of each while I try to wash the perfume samples I found In Cosmo off my chest.

European Sports Carworn leather, excessive horse power, and a hint of aftershave. Bold, handsome, and perhaps a little overconfident at 140 MPH
Distillery
charred oak, sour mash, and enough bourbon to kill an elephant. warm and inviting, but what isn't at 80 proof?
Hunting Lodge
hearth stone, gun powder and damp timber. It smells just like it did 120 years ago, because it hasn't changed in 120 years. Other than the flatscreen and microwave

I already smell like a distillery aside, I thought these were body sprays at first. They're not though -- they're air fresheners. But is that gonna stop me from spraying myself down with the stuff and strutting around like the manliest man to pee sitting down? It is not.

Thanks to Viscouse, who likes to smell like cotton candy, beer and insecticide like a REAL man.

EPL 2012: Liverpool vs Arsenal 0-2

 

By Richard Clarke at Anfield

New boys Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla scored their first goals for Arsenal as Arsène Wenger's side grabbed their opening win of the season at Liverpool on Sunday.

The German fired home from the Spaniard's assist on the half-hour. Midway through the second half, Podolski repaid the favour for Cazorla as Wenger's men recorded a morale-boosting and fully-deserved victory.
