Slingshot Monkey, the Perfect Office Gadget

December 1, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Just for Fun at 1:00 pm | (1) Comment »

Say hello to your new office gadget. What, you didn’t know you had one? Well of course you do. You wouldn’t be able to pass up the Slingshot Monkey unless you had a heart of stone. Do you have a heart of stone? I didn’t think so. Well, back to what I was saying (thanks for that rude interruption by the way!), give a warm welcome to your new office gadget, the truly wonderful Slingshot Monkey (applause).

The Slingshot Monkey is basically perfect. This new toy is a stuffed monkey dressed as a superhero & his arms are made with a very stretchy rubber material that allows him to be slingshot through the air up to a whopping 50 feet. Can you image the look of envy mixed with astonishment when you brand this puppy to your fellow workers? You are going to be king for a day, I tell you, maybe even a week. Maybe this is the answer to that raise you’ve been asking for since 2002. I tell you, this is the key to happiness- the Slingshot Monkey.

And you can take home your friend today for just $7. Expense it as an office supply perhaps?

We all know about talk radio, but what about a talking radio? This Hot Lips Talking Radio moves its hot, red lips to the beat of the song or people talking on the radio.

Turn your living room into a strip club or work out those abs & thighs with this Peekaboo Pole Dancing Pole. Do I hear a holiday gift idea for my mother? Why, yes, I think I do.

Don’t worry, there’s no drilling involved & you can hide it easily when you host your office’s holiday party. How it works- the pieces basically just slide togther & a spring mechanism allows you to extend the pole to a height of 8 foor, 6 inches.

With your own dance pole you open up your own club in your flat or just dance away in the comfort of your own home. See video here of the Peekaboo Pole Dancing Pole in action. Cost, $120.

Pylones Snake Bike Locks

November 21, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Just for Fun at 1:00 pm | (2) Comments »

There is absolutely nothing from the French company Pylones that I do not head-over-heels adore, and these Snake Bike Locks are no exception. I have always been a firm believer that necessary things should be fun; so making your boring, old, gray bike lock into a vicious don’t-even-think-about-messing-with-me snake bike lock just makes fun sense.

The reinforced metal on the snake bike lock will detour anyone even casually contemplating stealing your bike. This whimsical design is a true asset to bicycles everywhere. Doesn’t your bike deserve Pylones? Cost, $30.

Now, your kids (and yourself) probably want their very own pair of night vision goggles. You got that, but what about something even better? Night Vision Dart-Shooting Goggles are here to make your child’s (and your) dreams come true.

Not only do these Night Vision Dart-Shooting Goggles help you see in the dark, they shoot darts! This creative toy features a green night vision lens, a dart launcher as well as two bright LED lights that help you blind your prey while you shoot your darts at the unexpecting target, probably the baby sister.

Celebrity Weight Scale- The Only Scale You Should Buy

August 22, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Just for Fun at 1:00 pm | Comments »

Ahhh, a bit of hilarity for this rainy Tuesday & the Celebrity Weight Scale is just that, a wee bit of hilarious.

Now, the bathroom scale can be a dreaded monster of sorts, and that’s why I tend to avoid them like the plauge. But this Celebrity Weight Scale might be a bit more tempting. Instead of using numbers on the dial, the scale lists famous celebrities.

You could wind up being Baby Jesus, Gizmo, Oliver Twist or Hulk Hogan. My recommendation, try & stay below King Kong & Roseanne Barr.
