If I had been�fortunate�enough to have Castoos in my day, and someone even thought about ...

If someone told me they were going to create a Dennis Hopper / mechanical duck thing wind-up toy, I’d be all like “Um, OK. Why?” And they’d be all like “Just because, dude! Just because!” And then I’d be all like “I bet you never finish it. It’s too crazy.” And then they’d be like “In your face, Andrew! In ...

Now, cuddly isn’t the term I’d usually use to describe the not-so-tame looking wind riders, but these World of Warcraft plushies do a decent job at making me want to cuddle up with one of those�monstrosities. The Gryphon Hatchling and Wind Rider Cub plush pets are currently on sale for only the low, low price of $24.99. But wait! There’s ...

Because all of those kids might be running scared, but you’ll have a whole new problem. Throngs of geeks will flock to your yard, and the difference between us and kids? We’re much more ...

Design team, the Campana Brothers, teamed up with Lacoste, creators of the iconic alligator logo you see on the shirts of old men, golfers and preps everywhere, and they went slightly alligator crazy, as you can see. The shirt is entirely covered with the Lacoste alligator logo, available in limited printing, but available for purchase today. While I wouldn’t be ...

So just say you metaphorically enjoy watching WWE wrestling. Or a friend of a friend does. Yeah, that’s it! And this friend of a friend just happened to be surfing through his favorite Smackdown superstars on the WWE webpage when he came across something intriguing. So it would seem that the WWE has stooped to signing fictional video game characters ...

So, I already have a tattoo featuring both Mario and a lightsaber… together. Guilty! But that won’t stop me from continuing the badassery with a finger lightsaber tat. Learn to master the force from the comfort of your own hand. The force is strong with this one. Link [via]

The Star Wars universe is an interesting place. No matter how many Star Wars books you read, or movies you watch, there is never any mention of personal�hygiene. There’s that one part where you can almost see Lando’s nose pluck up into disgust after Han lifts his arm, but that’s about it. (Did I make this up? Maybe, maybe not. ...
