You can now buy your very own authentic “Star Trek” Spock spacesuit.  And isn’t that what your life goal has been all along? 

Thanks to the wonder of eBay, you can now bid on a spacesuit worn by the character Spock while filming for the movie Star Trek I: The Motion Picture.  Made from brown, orange, & white material with plastic & metal accents, this Spockwear is the real thing.

According to the auction’s description, the actor Leonard Nimoy wore this spacesuit “prominently in Star Trek I: The Motion Picture when “Spock” left the “Enterprise” to conduct a mindmeld with the ‘V’Ger Probe’.”

Well, they’ve got me beat on “Star Trek” trivia, then again, most people do.  As of this moment, the eBay auction is at $3,050 with the reserve yet to be met & three days to go.  Good luck, Earthlings.

Most Expensive Mobile Office

February 19, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Just For Frivolous Fun, The Most Expensive at 1:00 pm | (1) Comment »

This hilarious, yet very pricey, invention was created by car builder Edd China.  China has made the very first office on wheels, it looks like.

Apparently this mobile office is powered by a Rover 100 engine & is actually capable of speeds up to 87mph. 

“As the NASCAR-like decals indicate, the £45,000 ($85,700) mobile office (dubbed the “hot-desk”) was originally built for a stationary firm, and comes complete with a keyboard steering wheel, mousepad horn, briefcase-based controls, and even a working computer and water cooler.”

Wow.  $85,700 for a mobile office.  Honestly, it doesn’t sound too bad a price for an office than can go 87mph!

OhMiBod Music Vibrator

January 16, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Just For Frivolous Fun at 11:14 am | Comments »

I don’t suppose that we’ve ever really considered the iPod as a lily-white innocent school girl, but I’ll bet you will now.  Give a hearty welcome to the OhMiBod Music Vibrator.  Yep, I said it, a music vibrator.  Now, that’s probably a first, right?

The OhMiBod makes claims to be “the first insertable vibrator that moves to the beat from the iPod”.  Wow, not only is it insertable, it basically vibrates to the beat of your iPod, better not choose a ballad then, eh?

This music vibrator also works with other music players, so the possibilities are endless really.  When items of intrigue come out, I like to see what the media makes of it all, here is one such comment, “Unlike other vibrators, it has a sleek and elegant design so it appeals to first time users as much as it does to aficionados.”

So true, so true.  Well, you tell me- Is it worth the small price tag of $69 (how cute) to test out this slender item?  I’m going with yes.

Talking Donald “Rummy” Rumsfeld Doll

November 15, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Just For Frivolous Fun at 12:41 pm | Comments »

Well, it looks like Donald “Rummy” Rumsfeld may have gone to the other side, the Dirka Dirka side that is.

I think we all need to pause & reflect on U.S Secretary of Defence Rumsfeld’s resignation.  OK, I think that about did it.  And I think now we need to lay our hands on this hilarious Talking Donald “Rummy” Rumsfeld doll.

This “Rummy” Rumsfeld doll comes with its very own biographical text & a speech by Rummy himself to American Veterans.  All you have to do is press the button & hear Donald say one of 28 different phrases like this golden nugget of Rummy wisdom:  “I believe what I said yesterday. I don’t know what I said. But I know what I think. I assume that’s what I said.”

Rumsfeld comes to you dressed in a black pin-stripped suit with white shirt, yellow tie & black little shoes.  You know what they say about small feet, don’t you Rums?  From his wee small glasses to his graying hair & little pink cheeks (well, I guess we can’t really see those)- this replica doll is so much like the Donald we all know & love I’m not sure it isn’t him.

Rummy, is that you?  Rummy?  Have you gone to the Dirka Dirka side?  I can’t believe it, you have, you pinko!  You have!  Cost for the doll, $30.  Cost for the humor, priceless.

How Big A Fan Are You: Halo Stained Glass Window

November 13, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Just For Frivolous Fun at 11:50 am | (11) Comments »

 

The question:  How big a Halo fan are you?

The answer:  Big enough to buy a Halo Stained Glass Window.

An eBay auction up for grabs recently.  Sadly the auction has ended, but we still couldn’t help admiring this handiwork.  What’s was the booty?  Why, a Halo Master chief Stained Glass Window, what did you think?!

The creator of this masterpiece has informed us that there are more on the way, and that even special orders are not out of the question.  Wow, I can just see it now in my house.  And then I can see me getting terrified every time I walked by.

The Voice-Activated Cyclonic Vibrotron is a holiday gift idea for that person we all know that has just about everything else, and after this post he might even have this.

The Vibotron features fluorescent balls that dance to the sound of your voice.  Call it magical, if you wish, because the Vibotron does not have a motor or mechanical device.  Ooooo.  This gadget connects to your stereo and dances to any sound or vibration.  And who can beat that for a holiday gift?  Cost, $50.
