What strange little gadget will they think of next?

[Ponine]

I figured.. oh why the heck not start a new thread???
Odd little gadgets that I stumbled on while surfing the web working.

First we have.. the Barking Hot Dog Cooker

This cute Barking Hot Dog Cooker steams 4 to 6 delicious hot dogs to juicy perfection in less than 10 minutes! Plug him in, fill water chamber to indicator level with included measuring cup, arrange your dogs, and lower the lid. He lets out a steady "BARK" when hot dogs are ready!

Next....
The Air Guitar Pro

For those of you going to Camp Swank, you should nag them to release this sooner.
Far easier to pack than the traditional models.

Got a yen to play guitar? Are your friends telling you to stop with the air guitar? Then you need the TakaraTomy Air Guitar which, as you can see, has a guitar neck and some chord buttons on the fretboard but nothing else.

It works by using an infrared sensor in the neck of the guitar to detect your hand motions. While the battery-operated Air Guitar does have a built-in speaker, you can also connect it to an external amplifier when you want to crank up the volume. But practice first, ok?

For beginners -- and that's all of you -- the Air Guitar comes preloaded with ten tracks for beginners to play along with. Among the tunes: Are You Gonna Be My Girl (Jet), Walk This Way (Aerosmith), and Smoke on the Water (Deep Purple). All those tunes that, if you play them in a guitar stor, would get you immediately expelled

I submit to you fine people - the electric venus fly trap. Ta-Da!

Here’s an electronic device that will add style to the fly killer. It’s an electric version of the Venus Flytrap, the best known carnivorous plant.


Of course, it would have been too boring to just have a snapping plastic plant around, so it’s been heavily personified. Looking like it has teeth and eyes, it seems to rather be a jaw with 4 supporting leaves than a plant.

Down in the ‘mouth’ there’s a bait for the nasty buggers. As they enter the mouth, sensors recognize the best time to snap the jaws closed.

Of course, since it’s been so heavily personified, after ‘eating’ the bug it will release a loud and satisfied ‘burp’. This adds to its ‘fun’ factor.






And then there's Easy Glider (http://www.easy-glider.com/) for use with or without skates apparently.


And last but not least (NSFW???)

I've posted this before, but everyone needs one of these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI-pct3zy18&NR=1) (mostly work safe unless someone really doesn't have a sense of humor...non-explicit sexual themes).

From the side, he just looks like he's riding a bike.

I was just thinking about how long they had to pose smiling like idiots while they got the shot just perfect...
:D

[Not Afraid]

I'm trying to decide an an appropriate comment for the guy who is inserting the dog.

[SacTown Chronic]

From the side, he just looks like he's riding a bike.He's not doing it right.



Or maybe he is, what the hell do I know?

[Not Afraid]

I've been forced to think about the bovine copulation scene in Holy Mountain.

[SacTown Chronic]

Are you coming on to me?

[Not Afraid]

That would be a pointless gesture since I WON'T BE SEEING YOU ANYTIME SOON!

[Kevy Baby]

That would be a pointless gesture since I WON'T BE SEEING YOU ANYTIME SOON!Who knows - that may be just the impetuous to get him to come down after all.

Either that or the same promise from Plumenom.

I thought the same thing, which is why I placed it here so it didnt have to be moved later. ;)

[Ponine]

so today I opened iTunes, in search of a podcast for conversational spanish...
But what did I find? I didnt search, it just showed up on the podcast homepage....

French Maid TV

French Maid TV is an online video of How to's taught by Sexy French Maids. It's where we teach men the important things in life. From How to Find Music you like, to How to Video Podcast to How to Give CPR.....


Then, THEN... there's a review that says....
"At 12 and 14, my two younger boys are into all sorts of cool things. I figured they should learn to podcast. I was planning on giving them a demo when I came across this outstanding piece. The boys watched it in silence, eyes glued to MY iMac's 20 inch screen." ......

Outstanding piece??? ooooohhkay.

I'd love to say what will they think of next, but instead, I'll make a request.
Someone, who isnt at work, watch this, and review it.

[Capt Jack]

if I werent at work, I'd sooooo be there!

(even if its just watching them CPR each other)

Im such a scumbag :blush:

[flippyshark]

Well, the french maids are certainly cute. The information is superficial and rattled off very quickly. It's free, though this means that an ad for some roll on deodorant shows up at the end. (and here's how effective that ad is - I just watched it less than a minute ago, and I can't tell you what brand it was.)

The French Maids also appear in a video called "The Love Kills Theory." It's an okay indie band video, but there are banner ads onscreen for the entirety of it. I don't like this sponsored podcast trend.

[Kevy Baby]

Well, the french maids are certainly cute. The information is superficial and rattled off very quickly.In light of the first sentence, my response to the second sentence is: "So?"

[Capt Jack]

thats just silly. :D

but have to agree with everything fippyshark said. its an advertising company bottom line. they even say so in the 'let us show your product' bit. surely focused on getting males to see it in a viral sort of marketing attempt. kinda cheesy, the girls werent that hot nor costumes very interesting.

the potato sack race and pillow fight were just embarassing and laughable

like I said. silly. it'll probably work like a champ
