August 3, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Outdoor Fun at 1:00 pm | Comments off

 

Blokarts = fun.  Designed & developed in New Zealand, the Blokart is a go-kart for wind-surfers.

This three-wheel contraption with an attachable sail can take up to 25 knots of wind & reach speeds approaching 70mph.  Wow.  Fun & yet a little terrifying at the same time.

Cost, $2495.50.

Hello again & I apologize I could not be with you Friday as I was wondering whether to toss my servers off of 20-ft buildings or take them out to an open field with tire iron in hand & do it up Office Space style.

Hopefully I can make up for my absence Friday with these incredible, yet not edible Skorpion Multi Terrain Skates.

These beautiful skates come to us from New Zealand & allow you to skate over grass, board walks or trails of any kind.

The Skorpion skates feature oversized wheels (5″) with individual suspension.  Your ride will be as smooth as silk with each wheel having two bearings.  Cost for these babies, $119.

Cupid’s Double Umbrella

July 19, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Gadgets, Outdoor Fun at 1:00 pm | (13) Comments »

One umbrella designed for two, just what we need for a Wednesday pick-me-up. 

Come on, this is actually pretty cool- no matter how many queer looks you’ll get.  I have had countless drippy evenings with my husband, each trying to gain cover from the downpour with our tiny little umbrella, only managing to get each other more wet in the process.

But with the Double Umbrella, never fear- Cupid’s here.  With the touch of a button, this magnificent brolly covers you both with genuine follow-thorough.  Never mind calling an evening short, take that walk in the park with this double umbrella buddy.

Now, we just need to convince them to make it in pink!  Cost for brolly genius, $33.

Eat Dinner in the Sky

July 12, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Outdoor Fun at 9:34 am | (1) Comment »

If eating your dinner on the ground has gotten you down, why not heighten your sense of excitement by eating your meal in the sky?

Thanks to Dinner in the Sky, up to 22 people can dine in anywhere you like, from a roller rink, to a golf course, to a public square.  A chef, waiter & entertainer will accompany you & your guests, providing you food, wine & music while you enjoy yourself above ground. 

This would be a fabulous experience although my inclination to drop food on passers-by would probably be unavoidable.

Solar Powered Garden / Yard Shower

June 28, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Gadgets, Outdoor Fun at 9:42 am | Comments off

OK, so you’ve been gardening in the rose bushes, cutting the grass & playing with the pooch- let’s face it, you’re one dirty, stinky, sweaty pup.  You think of your showering strategy.  Should you run through the house to the back shower, getting everything filthy in your wake or risk it all, strip outside & run naked through the garden sprinkler?

I rather like the latter one myself, but now we have another choice.  The Solar Powered Garden / Yark Shower is a prefect alternative for those who wish to keep their naked bodies anonymous from their peeking neighbors.

This solar powered shower is easy to use- just attach your normal garden hose & in 30 minutes you’ll have enough hot water, though you may prefer a cooler one, for up to 5 showers.  Cost, $860.  Cost for running around naked with the sprinkler in your yard, Priceless.  Cost for indecent exposure, see local sherrif.

Selk’bag Sleeping Bag

I’m not sure the word adorable has ever crossed my thoughts when reflecting upon sleeping bags, but the Selk’bag is just that.

The Selk’bag is more like an external padding of your human form- it has arms, legs & allows for a very snug fit with all the provided ties & adjustments.  Bo need to get out of your sleeping bag to seek into someone’s tent, walk on over & keep warm, and cute, while you’re at it.

June 12, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Gadgets, Outdoor Fun at 9:27 am | Comments off

Thrill seekers beware- there’s a new gadget in town!  Whether you’re snowboarding past the pines or slaloming on the lake, this ATC-1000 helmet camera is a must. 

The ATC-1000 is both water & shock proof & gives good quality first-person views in 640 x 480, 320 x 240 or 160 x 120 resolutions, at 15fps.  Hopefully the 32MB memory card slot will be enough to capture all your wicked moves, if not try on the SD memory card slot for longer recordings.  Cost, $120.

World Cup England Football Player Inflatable Gadget

June 9, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Gadgets, Outdoor Fun, Special Events at 1:36 pm | Comments off

With the start of the World Cup today, I thought we might do a little celebrating.  Say hello to your personal England football player, he looks like a Sam to me.  Take Sam to the World Cup or to your TV & show your support for the English team, & hopefully footballer Wayne Rooney.

Sam is 5′ tall, black hair, black eyes & loves long walks on the beach.  This little World Cup gadget inflates in seconds with the included electric blower.  There’s nothing like a 5-foot football inflatable that drives the ladies wild.  Cost, $40.
 

Wego Kite Tube

May 24, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Outdoor Fun at 10:38 am | Comments off

Holy cow, I think I just fell in love.  With the Wego Kite Tube fun looks fun again.  The 10-foot tube can be skipped across the water or flown through the air.  I can now finally live my dream of being a flying frog! 

The Wego seems durable enough for an army with 840D full body nylon double skin cover with PU coating, computerized double-stitched sewing, multiple mesh drain ports & non-slip handle with knuckle guard.  If I had a boat and $600 extra bucks, I think I know what I would be doing all day.
