Geek Novelties

Ice is a funny thing, y’know. It usually only serves to dilute whatever you’re drinking while providing a minor (and very temporary) cooling sensation – yet I love novelty ice cube trays with their endearing oddity. And let’s not forget those rockin’ LED color-changing cubes, which are usually neither icy nor useful in any respect, other than making it look like you just stumbled off a booze cruise during spring break. (“Omigod, I am so wasted!”) But rather than tinkling in your hoisted pint glass while drunk chicks flash their cleavage, these Easter Island ice cubes are more likely to stare at you ominously with disapproval. Ahhh, but thrill to the chill of the icy Moai, with their hooded eyes and Leno-esque chins! Watch in awe as their ancient mystical powers allow them to disappear before your eyes!

… Hey shut up, it’s the best I could do! And anyway, how many ancient monolithic figures have melted into your beverages lately?

Exactly.

I’m curious about who the intended recipient is for this chocolate scented calculator. It seems like it would drive a chocoholic crazy, and it it would either be a popular distraction or completely irritating in class or the office. But it would make a pretty funny (if completely wicked) gag gift for that friend of yours who is always trying to watch her weight.

You: “Check it out! I got you a chocolate calculator so you can enjoy the delicious aroma of a Hershey bar without actually eating one. And hey, you can use it to add up all the calories you’ll be saving!”

Her: “Die in a fire.”
