This massively wacky tooth care set, featuring what must be the world’s only bacon flavored dental floss, is either brilliant or disgusting – and my best guess is that it’s a little bit of both. Along with the aforementioned pork-flavored variety, the breakfast floss set also comes with coffee and waffle flavors. Got a little leftover breakfast stuck in your chompers? Wiggle it free with some waxed bacon floss, baby! Open wide and say yummmmm. ;-)

I’m sure there’s a perfectly logical reason for perching a pair of elf ears on your car. No really, there has to be some sense to this … Maybe some kind of vehicle-based Lord of the Rings LARPing action? Hey, let’s see you come up with something better!
The Elf Car Costume comes with ears that are a sorry excuse for Middle-Earthian appendages, and a completely inexplicable striped hat for your grille that would look far more at home perched on the noggin of a Where’s Waldo cosplayer. The product info states that the elf ears are easy to install on rolled-up windows. A design requirement or a safety precaution, given all the insults and ridicule that will likely be hurled in your direction? Only one way to find out!

Writing this blog is awesome, but totally dangerous for my nonexistent cash flow, as I keep discovering little obsessions I never knew I had. For example, did you know that robots could be so adorably d’awwwww? First it was the geekishly precious robot salt and pepper shaker, and now I’m all melty over the handmade robot greeting cards by lrhbindustries. Not only is the drawing all wistful and lovely, but the binary code actually translates to “MISS”, making this a perfectly nerdy and thoughtful gift for that faraway internet paramour of yours. There are also super sweet birthday, thank you, and robot Valentine’s Day cards to choose from, and really affordable at $3.50 a pop. (You’d spend that much on a generic Hallmark card, and trust me – paper crafts are much more keepsake-worthy!)

I just love the look of decorative globes – although my own sense of global positioning is woefully lacking. (When I was growing up, I thought that the direction in front of me was always automatically north. I guess I really was the center of my own universe!) So even though I might not be able to point out Seychelles or Liechtenstein, I can still appreciate the awesomeness of the City Lights Earth Illuminated Globe. As it slowly rotates, various cities begin to illuminate – mimicking what it might look like if you were viewing various parts of the earth. So pretty! It reminds me of those spiky fiber optic lamps I used to love in the ’80s – except this is all educational and lacking in lameness. So there’s that.

The first time I ever heard about the steampunk genre was on Second Life, of all places, and although the clothing and accessory styles are a bit bold for my tee-and-jeans tendencies, I love the idea of having steampunk art pieces, gadgets and gizmos around the house. The Steampunk Gameboy rocks my socks because it not only reminds me of my days as a fan of Nintendo’s hand-held game console, but it turns the sadly obsolete Game Boy into a thing of unique, artistic radness. And it’s functional too! Designer and console modder Thretris reworked this one of a kind DMG-01 Gameboy with a new audio output that’s a cool addition for chiptune musicians – but the console still works perfectly for your old school gaming needs as well. Personally, I’m the type who would frame this up in a shadowbox as an homage to my tender years as a gamer. Or I’d bury it in a time capsule with the hopes of thoroughly mystifying an anthropologist hundreds of years from now. :)
