I knew a kid named John Kirby growing up in grade school who was both a redheaded outcast and a model train enthusiast. John was really into those fucking trains. He’d build sets, wear a conductor hat and all kinds of fucked up shit. He’s the kind of guy who’d drop $7.49 a piece on these miniature arcade machines from ...

Guess which country gets cool colors slapped on a PSP while America gets the shaft? If you guessed France, you’re close, but no frog legs for you. Japan will see the Sony PSP 3000 released in bright blue, red, yellow and green, ensuring that girls go ga-ga for it as if it were the latest fashion accessory. The rainbow-hued consoles ...

I’m pretty sure LEGO builder Dave Shaddix photoshopped these LEGO box covers but he did come up with a sweet recreation of Gilligan’s Island. As you can see, Gilligan is present, the Skipper too (well, somewhere!). I particularly like the scene where Gilligan is robbed by a monkey. Check it after the jump.

I found this awesome laser-etched Macbook Pro Powerbook G4 on Tumblr. Can anyone identify whose it is or what that character is on the front? Very intense. Link

Shitty title, but whatever. This is an impressive work of art from artist Sam Spenser. He calls his creation “Bloom” and I think it’s quite an appropriate title for a guy who shoved what looks like 50 umbrellas into a tree. It’s kind of beautiful but also a little on the weird side. Know what I mean? It just doesn’t ...

This purse is supposedly based on Paris Hilton’s former pooch, Tinkerbell. It is supposed to reflect the “trend and fashion” of carrying around a small dog. Sure, that’s a big trend in L.A. and New York, but I’m pretty sure nobody in Columbus, Ohio is doing this. That’s why they should shell out the $317 for this Dead Dog Purse. ...

Quiksilver is known for producing quality surf-related products and fashions. The latest watch to come from the California-based company features retro-styling that pays tribute to the looks of the 1970s. The Ray features real ebony wood and a beautiful face that resembles a Ford Mustang’s odometer. No battery is required thanks to 27 jewel automatic movement. I don’t know what ...

Reading at night. Since children, we’ve enjoyed this ritual of waiting for the lights to go out then grabbing a flashlight and a book to read. But what about us older people who don’t have to worry about getting caught being up late but instead would like to read in the dark. After all, it feels great to pass out ...

Paying an ode to the Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes classic White Men Can’t Jump, these Nikes will have you ballin’ on the court with diamonds in your grill (such silly lingo!), Called the Flight Lite High, these shoes are as high as a pair of high-tops can get. Seriously. Reebok’s Pump doesn’t have jack shit on these puppies. Check ...

Or at least I’m assuming that’s the deal with Michael Jasper’s jazzy LEGO creation, which features Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon jamming out. My favorite part, aside from the well-crafted instruments, is the hair and face of the bass player. Look at that blonde doo! And that smile is too devilish for words. They must have that reefer madness that’s ...
