Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter!

2005-11-29T22:46:00.000Z

Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter!

I know, I know, two posts one night! This one I couldn't wait to post though!

Tagline: The first testament says "an eye for an eye." - The second testament says "love thy neighbour." - The third testament ... Kicks Ass!!!

Plot Outline: Kung-Fu Action / Comedy / Horror / Musical about the second coming.

Plot Synopsis: The first testament says "an eye for an eye." The second testament says "love thy neighbour." The third testament KICKS ASS! The filmmaking team that brought you Harry Knuckles and won the "Spirit of Slamdance" prize with Harry Knuckles and the Treasure of the Aztec Mummy ups the ante with this tale of the ultimate action hero: Jesus Christ. The second coming is upon us, and Jesus has returned to earth. But before he can get down to the serious business of judging the living and the dead, he has to contend with an army of vampires that can walk in the daylight. Combining kung-fu action with biblical prophecy and a liberal dose of humour, the film teams the Savior with Mexican wrestling hero El Santos against mythological horrors and science gone mad, and also manages to address contemporary sexual politics. And did we mention that it's a musical? This sure ain't Sunday School.

Position of the Day: Sex Every Day in Every Way.

Position of the Day: Sex Every Day in Every Way!

Yes, you read right! All I want to know is how they got a copy of my diary ;)

Here's what the editors on Amazon.com had to say about it:

After all these years of thinking 69 was our lucky number, the perpetrators of Nerve.com's wildly popular "Position of the Day" have hand-picked 366 of their very best erotic scenarios into one gloriously chunky, deeply inspiring, and hilarious compendium. Yes, that's 366 - one for each day of the year plus a little something special for leap year! Illustrated with anatomically correct drawn figures, the positions run the lusty gamut from plausible to creative to Honey, get my weight belt, this is going to require some heavy lifting!

For beginners and the acrobatically challenged, there are accessible suggestions such as the Corporate Merger, the Wet Blanket, and the TV Dinner. Meanwhile, the adept and adventurous can try their hand at The Snow Blower, The Papoose, and the Quasimodo, which field-testing suggests is best attempted only after a vigorous round of stretching and a can of Red Bull. Position of the Day is about not becoming a creature of habit, because even the Excuse Me, Do I Know You? can get boring if that's the only position in your repertoire...

I also noticed that they are doing some mad combinations of books. If you buy this book you can get a discount if you also buy "Daily Sex : 365 Positions and Activities for a Year of Great Sex!".. I already have 366 positions to get through, what are the chances that the other 365 are also all unique!

You are not the one Neo(n)

Yes, some people call us slackers. I call us workaholics! Well, I guess I would, but between our new project (well, my main contribution was weeks ago, but Gambl0r's been working hos cute little ass off on it for the past few weeks), family demands and my job have conspired to keep me from searching for weird shit on the web. No, really! I haven't seen my son in three days because of early to rise, work late policies recently!

Anyhoo... Enough whining :oD

I said to Gambl0r earlier, "I must blog", and he ROFLed at me, so I had to think of something to blog. Which is difficult for me as my brain is addled! But I started thinking about last weekend when I wanted to remove an old light fitting from the kid's bedroom. Some cowboy electrician had fitted it, and I didn;t want it there. So, I turned off the trip switches to the upstairs lights, cut the cables, insulated them off and shoved them up into the attic. Turned everything back on and lo and behold, none of the lights worked upstairs! I had just cut the main live loop upstairs. Well, I got into the attic and fixed it all up (even though the attic was like something out of a 1930s horror flick with cobwebs everywhere), but it made me think I should have replaced the light with something more fitting for a 9-month old boys room...

...which somehow led me to look for vintage neon lights! Don't ask...

Anyway, I found this really tasteful example, that I am sorely tempted to buy! The classic Live Nudes neon sign. Isn't that just beautiful?

That led me to this so called Guinness Beer Pelican. It's a f***** Toucan! Get your beer branding right before you sell them! See the original signs here.

But this led me to explore more Guinness signs, which when combined with more modern styles, yields something like this Guinness Draught neon sign. Actually, This Seller has some really cool lights, so I'll forgive the fact that on one of the Guinness signs he calls Uncle Arthur Alec Guinness! Huh? Yes, drinking Guiness can have the same effects as a Jedi mind trick if taken in enough quantity, but that's going a little too far!

Anyway, I'll end with my two favourites for a boys, and a girls bedroom.

For the Boys, it has to be the Transformers Decepticon sign. Great for grown up Geeks too! Or so I'm told... Ahem!

And for the Girlz, the Hello Kitty neon sign. Awww :oD It's very close to that naughty little pussy(cat) collection of underwear and t-shirts someone posted about a while back. Which one of you girls posted about her cute little pussy? ...(cat!)

Guess what this is!?

Any idea what I am talking about?

You're probably wrong you know..

It's the words that they use to describe the black toilet roll they are selling here!

This is such a strange thing to see for sale, Black Toilet paper.. What's the point? Why would anyone want Black Toilet paper?!

Answers on a postcard please (or a comment at a push!)

Funky Fuze LED Necklace

2005-11-04T11:13:00.000Z

FUNKY LED Necklace!

OK A post for the ladies ;)! This is one of the funkiest pieces of jewelry I have ever seen.

From the thinkgeek.com site: "Each Fuze crystal is hand selected, shaped, and polished to ensure a unique and beautiful gem to adorn your neck. The crystal has an embedded LED that gradually cycles through a range of colors to create a totally unique fashion accessory. The glowing crystal is powered by small batteries in the ingenious magnetic clasp, and if you choose, you can wear it turned off for a simpler statement.

The Fuze is available in three styles: Natural, Teardrop and Mood Style. Each "Natural" stone is unique and the shape may vary from what is shown. The Teardrop and Mood Styles are more consistently shaped, with the Teardrop style shaped like, what else, a teardrop, and the Mood Style shaped like a slightly flattened pyramid. The Natural style also has a glossier finish than the Teardrop and Mood Styles."

I have to say if I saw this in a nightclub I'd be more than a bit intrigued!

Oh and here is another link for the ladies to waste some time on!

Geeks are sexy - I don't care what anyone says!

2005-11-01T16:11:00.000Z

GAH!!

I had a great blog all written! It was witty, insightful, concise and the biggest post to date. In fact I have to say it was probably the best blog ever posted to the internet. Then what happens? My DAMN laptop froze!

I would attempt to recapture the magic of my original post but loosing such a piece of art was like loosing a part of my soul so instead I will just leave you with this splurge of my frustration and a picture that says what I have always believed.

(this also doubles as a t-shirt of the week post)

P.S. Just for NYM:

(The picture links to more :P)

Condom Tins.. Who'd have thunk it!

2005-10-28T10:54:00.000+01:00

OK OK, I submit! Finally I will make a proper post!

Sorry about the lack of real updates recently, myself and Adeptus have been working on our latest cunning scheme! (We're still not ready to launch it officially and to be honest it'll probably be boring as all hell for most of you but we'll still post a little link when we launch so you can see what has kept us up all night NOT blogging..)

This blog is inspired by HDE's last post. She mentioned mint condoms (for that tingly sensation apparently?!) and I wondered if there would be any condoms for sale on eBay.. Needless to say there was but I also found:

Condom Tins!

Yes, that's right! Condom Tins!! They have some amazing looking vintage condom tins floating around eBay. I particularly like the "air tested" messages that some of them have on them, I have visions of a factory with hundreds of condom baloons being inflated for "testing" purposes. Classic!

One of the items I saw was a condom tin made to look like a portable ashtray with the phrase "Handy Andy" on the box. Soooooo funny.

I don't work here.

2005-10-25T17:15:00.000+01:00

Our T-shirt of the eh.. Month.. Has been chosen to reflect the latest slacker attitude around here!

I Don't Work Here!

"Don't you hate it when you are at the local computer shop talking to one of your friends about the subtle benefits of DDR memory when some ignoramus walks up to you and starts asking you which aisle the Internet is on? Or maybe he says something like, 'how do I watch the latest movies on my MP3 player?'

If you didn't have this t-shirt, you would have to waste valuable breath telling this guy to bug off and find another hole to crawl in..

This shirt also works well when you are at the office playing Quake or Counterstrike instead of working on those TPS reports."

So, Yeah... Ehmmmm... What have you been up to then?

*Acts all innocent*

Death By Sex

2005-10-10T20:44:00.000+01:00

No, not me! Yes yes, we're still very bad and have been neglecting the Dr Strange Sales office, but things have been really busy! I swear!

Anyhoo, I made a quick foray into eBay-land to see what the weirdos selling stuff there have been up to. Nothing terribly unusual, but this appeal for help caught my eye. Basically, there's a poor little doggy who is addicted to having sex with a toy lion. His former partner, a stuffed donkey is terribly upset, and the little pom is afraid that he's going to fuck himself into an early grave unless someone takes this interloper away.

Some extracts:

"... I met my true love....Donkey. Donkey was perfect....the right height, the right weight, the right colors...everything was perfect. Donkey and I were the perfect couple. Then Lion came along. Lion was the perfect female. Yellow and red, flowing mane, rope legs..I could go on and on. Tempting as it was, I stuck with Donkey. But one day, I couldn't control my urges, and Lion and I consumated our relationship. I felt so guilty...but as Bob Schneider sings.."If it feels so good...it can't be wrong..." So....I turned to the dark side and I give Lion all that I have 5-10 times a day. I have been doing this for over a year and there is no sign of slowing me down. I know that Donkey watches from the toy crate and cries. But I don't care...Lion completes me."

Well worth a read! :oD

A noble and eminently worthy cause, but I'd want to be sure he washed the damn thing before I bought it!

Oh, and on the subject of Death by Sex, I thought I'd provide a Community Service Broadcast; the recipe :oD:

1 1/2 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Southern Comfort
1/2 oz. Amaretto
1/2 oz. Sloe Gin
1/2 oz. Triple Sec
3/4 oz. Peach Schnapps
Orange Juice
Cranberry Juice

Shake with ice and strain into shot glasses.

Not as good as the real thing, but close ;o)

Enjoy!

Rent-a-dildo! Ewwwwwww

2005-10-05T15:31:00.000+01:00

This has to be one of the scariest sites I have ever seen!

If you've ever heard of Intelliflix you'll know the kind of service this site offers but instead of giving you as many dvd rentals as you want for a fixed membership fee these guys give you a choice of hundreds of different types of dildos to rent.

And send back.

For other people to rent.

As if that wasn't enough they actually had to make a change in their policys and put this notice on their site:

"Effective immediately, we will cease lending anal sex toys to customers. This includes butt plugs, anal beads, anal probes, and dual-penetration dildos. If you currently have one of these types of rental toys, you may keep it without charge as a courtesy accommodation."

(That is just an excerpt.. There was more..)

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

*Gambl0r walks off acting like he hasn't been missing in action for ages...*

Missing, presumed, eh, busy?!

2005-09-22T14:34:00.000+01:00

In honour of the fact that we have been TERRIBLE with our blog this week I thought I'd post a "Missing Person Milk Carton" Costume I found.

Seriously though we've just been swamped. I've been working on a few projects both for my day job and some online stuff I've been wanting to do for an age and Adeptus has been left home alone and is slowly degenerating into a useless blob from what I hear ;)

Yes that's right! I've also thrown in a T-shirt of the week(?! yeah right, weekly my ass!) for good measure. This one is for anyone with kids, Adeptus I am looking at you here good buddy!
Daddy drinks because I cry..

A Breath of Fresh Air

2005-09-17T10:58:00.000+01:00

Things have been quiet in the Dr Strange Sales office the past few weeks. I was away in Germany, then had guests for a week here in Ireland, then had to get back into work, while Gambl0r has been working his (cleanly shaven) balls off on some projects.

Busy busy! So what better way to relax than taking a deep breath of some clean, pure Irish Air? Blowing in off the Atlantic to the west of Ireland, there's nothing to pollute the air for thousands of miles, as the next stop west from The Cliffs of Moher is New York!

Ok, enough of the bullshit. Yes, the air is beautiful. I should know, I spent years working in that area of Ireland, including months on the Aran Islands visible from the cliffs, but seriously, would people actually buy a jar of it? If so, would anyone like to buy a jar of Dublin air? I have a ready supply!

Totally unrelated: I was browsing all things Irish on eBay when I saw the words "Cock Capes". Thinking this was something Gambl0r might be interested in, I was disappointed to see they were for making flies for fishing. Oh well, I guess with a couple of rubber bands they could be adapted! :oD

Nipplicious

2005-09-11T19:11:00.000+01:00

Not all that strange, but I just wanted to post these anyway. I was browsing bmezine.com (I like looking at the tattoos and body mods, now there's some strange shit) and was looking at the nipple piercings, in particular, the nipple shields. I quite like the ones to the right here --->

And just to prove we are balanced in our views here, take a look here, or here, ow! You can get all sorts of shields on eBay and from our favourite online body jewelry store, Body Candy.

If you already have pierced nipples, these are probably no big deal, but if you haven't, aren't some of these really nice (and it was a good excuse for me to post that pic)! ;oD

Finally took the plunge

2005-09-10T15:06:00.000+01:00

I have finally taken the plunge and started to sell stuff on eBay myslef!

So far I have only listed one thing so I can see how it all works but I have a ton of records to start selling! My first one is a bit of a big one actually, it turns out I have a first print of a Beatles Album in excellent condition so I am hoping my first sale will be a good one!

There's Something About Mary

2005-09-07T19:09:00.000+01:00

There sure is! Ok, I didn't design this t-shirt, so apologies to any devout Catholics reading, but there's something about this t-shirt that appeals to me, even though I was raised as a Catholic (yeah yeah, being Irish there was a 95% chance of that anyway, but I tend towards agnosticism). Defninitely a "Worse than hell" shirt from T-Shirt Hell!

Anway, I think she looks cute, and not a little mischievous! ;o)

Laser Hair Removal outside of New York?!

2005-09-06T16:03:00.000+01:00

That's it, I am gonna give up!

After a hot tip from European I went looking for a personal laser hair removal device on eBay and finally found one that looked like it had some potential! I went looking for the makers site so that I could verify that I won't end up cooking any mini-mikes that are waiting to make it into the world at large but what did I find?

In the fine print on a page buried on the site it says that it can't be used in the genital region.. So I thought maybe there was a compromise to be had so I e-mailed them the following: "I am wondering if it is possible to use the Epila Laser Hair Removal tool on the shaft of the penis? I have been trying to find a method of permanent hair removal for the whole male genital region but seeing as that seems to be impossible is there any way it can be used solely on the shaft of the penis?"

So, it looks like I am going to have to wait till I have saved up the cash to go spend a month or two in New York getting it done professionally.. (Maybe I should also get some of my little soldiers frozen in advance too, just in case.. I am already worried about the heat from my laptop lowering any future off-springs IQ!)

Perfect Teeth

2005-09-04T09:36:00.000+01:00

Still in Germany suffering on a 56K dialup, but going back to Ireland tonight. ~Eyes, I didn't get a sunset picture, but I'll look through my back-catalog of pics when I get home and see if I have anything nice from Germany :o)

ANyhow, the point of this post: my son is 6 months old, and has has two bottom teeth since he was four months old. Pretty early! His top front teeth have come down now and the little shit keeps grinding them against each other. ***cringe*** Really sets my nerves on edge, a bit like someone scraping their fingers down a blackboard. Anyway, he never really took to a soother/pacifier, but I regret not buying one of these for my neice when I saw them in Boot Barn just outside Redlands CA (near enough San Bernardino, home of McDonalds) a couple of years ago. Billy Bob Pacifiers. Give's your little one the REAL hillbilly look. In fact, you can give the whole family the Deliverance look! I just love these :oD

T-shirt of the Week(?!)

2005-08-31T11:02:00.000+01:00

I know, I know, it's been WAY more than a week since our last one but hey.. Whatcha gonna do about it?

Anyway, this week we're getting into the "worse than hell" range of T-shirts and given the subject matter of our blog I thought this t-shirt was "appropriate"..

Too soon?!?

Fighting boredom

2005-08-29T16:36:00.000+01:00

This is a quick one from me, as I'm currently on a "working vacation" in Germany, and am trying to synchronise 6MB of mail over a 56k dialup connection! Why do people send me large attachments when I'm away? It's a pain in the ass! So, what would I like right now to relieve the monotony and stress? Something to make me feel in control, with just a little bit of masochism. No, not an anal plug on a chastity belt... but the rather more fun (ok, I don't really know if it is ore fun, but chances are...) CAT-A-PULT. Not for the cat lovers out there (sorry), this little device flings cats accross the room. It's a bit like a real version of the Clay Kitten Shooting game online.

This Seller has alot of what she describes as "weird" categories. Not really (but then we like really weird stuff), but there are some nice items. My favourites being the Pull My Finger GWB, Hindu Finger Puppets and the Jesus Christ Nodding Doll. Actually, there's a lovely Shiva Cigarette case there too... Have a root in the religous section there.

Right, my mail has finished downloading.. back to work!

Chastity one - ohhhhh - one

2005-08-24T20:25:00.000+01:00

Hehe, OK so today I am trying something a little bit "Naughty" for my blog.

Today I bring you the CB2000 Chastity Belt!

Yes, that's right I said a Chastity Belt.. Again I find myself wondering why anyone would ever choose to buy something like this. A device designed to ensure you have less sex than usual.

SO I decided to go find out a bit more about the subject (as one is want to do) and I found a page that has some details on why people would wear chastity belts, here's a selection:

The belt can be worn to prevent the wearer from Masturbating.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE CHOOSE NOT TO MASTURBATE! There is NO love like self love if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of the beast with two backs (and lots of other great combinations) but even when I am getting it on a regular basis I STILL like to have the occasional "Handy Shandy". It's a completely different feel and I am sure it must be the same for the female of the species.

The belt can be worn to prevent the wearer from having wanted heterosexual sex. Also to prevent the wearer from engaging in heterosexual sex with someone other than their partner.

Anyone who buys a chastity belt to stop their partner from cheating needs to be taken out and shot. We've all had trust issues over the years, me more than most (I broke up with my "first love" the day I walked in on her in bed with my flat mate and then went on to find out that she had slept with a LOT of his mates for money) but actually getting your partner to wear a lock?!

The belt can be worn to prevent the wearer from recieving oral sexual stimulation.

See my last two points..

The belt can be worn to prevent the wearer from becoming erect.

This one sounds just plain horrible. I get my fair share of erections and have had the tangled boxers syndrome more than once and believe me it is very uncomfortable.. The idea of putting my little soldier into a cage and locking him up so that when the blood starts rushing to his head he has no-where to go?! Sounds like that horrible chinese feet binding tradition.. Ewwwwww.

Somehow I don't think this is an item I'll be buying anytime soon..

Funky dancing iPod iGuy!

2005-08-22T22:24:00.000+01:00

I'm still alive!! Seriously though I have been up to my ever so smooth testicles trying to fix some problems I was having with my web servers and it has kept me from doing anything else for WAYYY too long.. I have been dying to get myself dug into writing a blog but all I've had time to do is make sure my News, Movies and Salsa Dancing sites are all back up and running properly.. Not NEARLY as much fun.. So, what wonderfully funny item have I found to blog about today? None I am afraid... :(

I am still swamped with work so I've only really had time to dig out something I think is kinda cool..

The iGuy for iPod.

This guy looks so funny! He's really just a glorified protector for your iPod but since when has any protector looked this funky eh?!

Apparently he "sits" quite comfortably in the dock and is completely posable.

I know, nothing when compared to the "body bag" post but hey..

Now back to my damn server problems :(

Demon Dollies and other Super (natural) Stuff

2005-08-22T22:11:00.000+01:00

I'm not a religeous man, but I do have a healthy fear of the unknown (having spent time in a house reputed to be hainted and having some weird shit happen that I can't explain), but I'm not sure what to make of someone selling a Possessed Demonic Doll on eBay! There's a big long story there with loads of horror flick cliches, good for a read. I think the scariest thing though are the lighting effects! Hokey! Take a look at the other haunted and posessed dolls on this Seller's Page. The lighting is a bit like a B movie, but i won;t slag it off too much... just in case... :o)

There's a good few more other weird items on tht page, my personal favourites being the Deadly Black Magic in a Bag "Is it really harmless? Buy it and find out!", that was found in a hairdressing salon in San Diego by a worker "while the owner was at home dying from the bags effects"! And.. "Before the curse was disarmed, it was responsible for the salon owner's biologically inexplicable near death experience, one heart attack to a family member's husband, two serious car accidents, numerous very ugly nightmares and one sighting of a dark mainifest thought form standing at the foot of a family member's bed at 3:00 am in the morning."

The Baby Jesus has a nice story but the most practical would have to be the Two Handed Witches Ritual Sword. I could make good use of that one straight away!

So, any weird tales from the other side from our readers? I'd say a few have had a dark manifest at the foot of their beds at 3am, but not of the supernatural kind!

Dead Like Me

2005-08-20T20:46:00.000+01:00

Been out on the razz all last night? Feel like death? Even worse, feel like you look like death? Well never fear! Forget all that Revlon, Maybeline and other cheap crap, you need Corpse Cosmetics! Makes you look and feel human again!

And to really set off your stunning new look, why not get a Body Bag? Now, fair enough if someone wants to sell this online, but when they say "Human Remains Vinyl Body Bag And Other Uses" one has to wonder what other uses you might put it to! A sleeping bag for you incontinent granny? Load it up with baby oil and... ehh... moisturise intensively? *ahem* Pity they don't make them in double sizes...

Strange Suggestions

2005-08-16T20:26:00.000+01:00

I was browsing about last night for a fat new hard disk and a wireless network card, and was getting prices on Amazon. You know the way they make suggestions for you based on past purchaes and all that? Well, what have wireless NICs and routers (some previous purchases) got to do with Shaven Nudes?

On the left side, it thinks I may be interested in a book of "Shaven Angels 2". Well, who am I to argue? Needless to say I HAD to click on the link and see what this was about, and then click to see what Shaven Angels 3 was about, and then before I know it, Amazon in it's wisdom thinks that I should "Buy Shaven Angels 2 with Shaven Beauty Mystery today! ". Well, OK! The problem is, now every time I look on Amazon it's suggesting all sorts of nakedness to me! It is most distracting!

Actually, what bothered me most about these books is the price differential between Amazon UK and US (I had a look on the .com site for the sake of you US folk). SA2 is £43 in the UK, about $73, but on the US site it's $113!

I can always say I was looking for a book on Shaven Angles due to my beard style ;o)

Funky Retro Phone Adaptor!

2005-08-16T16:18:00.000+01:00

I know, I know.. I've been a BAD blogger recently.. (Yes yes, get all those naughty spanking comments out of your system early!)

Anyway, down to the point of this blog!

The "Retro Phone Handset"

Here's the description from the site:
"Yeah, we know all about bluetooth headsets for cell phones, but forget that stuff! We have here the latest development in cell phone technology and it's a big hunk of beautiful plastic. An accessory for your phone that you can really grab onto. Something with heft and that good-old-American solid construction feel - like a 1972 Cadillac.

The Retro Phone Handset is a new production replica of the Western Electric 500-series model, which was the classic phone handset for several decades. It's been slightly modified to work with the headset jack of most cell phones (or via a "hands free" adapter kit, sold elsewhere). Just plug-in and dial - or for added effect, put your cell phone in your pant's pocket - then it looks like you're talking on a phone connected to... well, who knows? "

This thing looks so cool. It's bigger than most peoples whole phone! Imagine the face on the person beside you on the bus when you take the handset out of your bag and answer the phone like you are sitting on the chair at home.

Infact I don't even think my house phone is that big! Now, let the spanking comments begin!

Slippery Nipples

2005-08-14T17:47:00.000+01:00

I thought a Slippery Nipple was just a drink. Well ok, I've also indulged in other types of slippery nipple, but I don't think I've ever seen slippery nippledom taken to as fine an art as this. Norgart. I don't think you'll find a definition of this art form anywhere else but the page where this piece of art is for sale:

"NorgArt is created by smearing the breast with paint and shifting the canvas around the torso to create unique textures and patterns, finer detail is applied using only the nipples. The result of this sensual foray into the world of contemporary impressionism is a beautiful arrangement of flowers in hot pink, sun-kissed yellow and sultry red, and is a unique and true celebration of female beauty."

So would any of our readers care to submit their own masterpieces? Let us know if you need a hand applying the paint (literally!) ;oD

Build your own Gambl0r

2005-08-10T22:05:00.000+01:00

Ahhh, I can hear it now, "If I only had a heart" from the Wizard of Oz. I've looked for one, but no joy, however, if you'd like to build your very own Gambl0r, you can start with these parts:

Something to hang the clothes on. A good start to your DIY Gambl0r kit. Now there's a happy chappy! :oD

Salsa-Compatable feet. You mayneed two left ones, but I've never danced with him, so I can't really say.

The famous third hand. Better buy it quick, as I'd say he might go for this straight away himself after wearing the other one out.

A pair of poker eyes, handy even if it is online.

No comment, other than it's a safe bet this is what goes on underneath.. *ahem*

:oD

Wi-Fi Speed Spray!

2005-08-10T12:12:00.000+01:00

I don't know where to begin with this one! We have Ajay to blame for this one..

Here's how they say the Wi-Fi Speed Spray will speed up your WiFi connection:
"The patented formula in WiFi Speed Spray™ is the result of years of scientific research and testing. Simply spray the area around your computer. Usually five or six sprays is all it takes. As your computer sends data, each bit also carries hundreds of invisible WiFi Speed Spray™ "scrubbing" molecules. It works at the speed of light. and even penetrates lead walls (not even Superman can do that!). Within .0025 seconds, the entire path between you and the receiver is cleaned, scrubbed, polished, and sanitized. You'll notice the improvement immediately as your productivity soars!.

Wifi Speed Spray™ lasts up to one hour under normal conditions. When you notice that things are slowing down, just grab your handy WiFi Speed Spray™ and reapply. It's easy!"

That is just SO SO wrong.. I particularly like the Dislaimers:
"WiFi Speed Spray™ is a 100% safe, 100% NATURAL, NON-TOXIC substance. and is effective when used as directed. Do not use near electrical appliances, as any liquid can cause problems in excess. Wi-Fi Speed Spray is the ultimate gift. Contains 99% water, 1% secret ingredient. Bottle and label design subject to change due to availability. This item is intended as a gag/joke gift for the geek who has everything. Batteries not in cluded, (none required)."

Hmmmm I wonder what the secret ingredient might be???

Ways to lose weight (Without using a pole)

2005-08-09T21:57:00.000+01:00

I was only joking when I said I'd consider buying a pole dancing kit for losing weight, but I thought I'd take a look at the options out there. Well, there's a whole heap of GI Diet Stuff, books, CD etc as it's so poular (at least over this side of the Atlantic). Actually, my boss has done really well on this diet, although one of the lads did call him Skeletor the other day, so it may have gone too far! But that seems like too much hard work. I don't have time to diet!

So what about all these weight loss pills you see? They make all sorts of wild promises. 30lbs in 30 days??? Can they actually work? These Hoodia Diet Max Pills make interesting promises. "WOULDN'T YOU LOVE LOSING 10-20 LBS A MONTH
WITHOUT STARVING, DIETING OR EXCISING?". Hell Yeah! But do I want to trick my body into thinking that I'm full when I'm more likely to have a Hypoglycemic Attack instead? Meh!

So, the pills aren't for me really. There's always the Hypnosis Diet, but I keep thinking I'd end up with the wrong CD and end up increasing my wordiness a la Homer Simpson, although that wouldn't be a bad idea all things considered.

But there is hope! I eventually found the perfect weight loss method for "so busy I couldn't be arsed excercising" type like me. You can actually rent a Witch to cast a Pagan Magick Weight Loss Spell ! That's the ticket! None of this hard work, just explain your circumstances, wait and watch the weight fall off!

Hmmmm... I think maybe I'll start using that rowing machine after all...

Anyone care to share their secrets of weight loss? :oD

*Disclaimer: Adeptus is not really fat, he just has a cute belly *ahem* ;o)

Drug Rehab Rappers!

2005-08-08T19:28:00.000+01:00

I know I shouldn't find this so funny but I do, I really really do.

The eBay listing states:
"Medi-Disc, 1960s. "Drugs Won't Get It, People Will: An Educational Record About Narcotic Addiction" features four ex-addicts "rapping" about addiction and recovery at Gaudenzia House. Sticker on front says "Compliments of Donald O. Oesterling, State Senator, 21st District," along with a stamp that says roughly the same thing. I find it fascinating and baffling that the record was donated by United Mine Workers of America. Were Pennsylvania miners particularly susceptible to drug addiction?"

Yes, that's right.. "four ex-addicts "rapping" about addiction and recovery".. I have met quite a few current and ex-addicts wandering the streets of our fair city, usually either coming out of or going into a drug rehab centre (and by met them, I mean tried to avoid them.. They tend to be quite violent if they decide you have looked at them the wrong way around here..) and I have yet to meet one that can speak clearly at a slow pace let alone trying to spit out lyrics in a "phat stylie" (I can't believe I just said that..) so the idea of someone putting them on vinyl and releasing it seems ridiculous until you see that there was a senator behind it all.

Those crazy senators eh!?!

2005-08-08T14:16:00.000+01:00

Thanks to one of my favourite sites we've added a new section to the sidebar on the right.. T-Shirt of the Week!

The idea (if we can manage to do the regular update) is that we will post our favourite T-shirt from tshirthell.com each week so if you have any suggestions make sure to let us know! ;)

How I got from Salsa Dancing to Flavoured Lube!

2005-08-07T11:57:00.000+01:00

SO, I was reading Jenns blog and she mentioned that she was going Salsa Dancing (Which by the way I love so much I setup my own salsa dancing site a few years ago. While I think of it, why on earth is it that every woman on the planet seems to love "Dirty Dancing" so much? It's an ok movie but every girl I have ever spoken to about this movie just seems to mentally swoon at the mention of it!!) so I thought I would go see if I could find some funny dancing stuff for sale. Little did I know where it would bring me..

I started out seraching on eBay for Salsa Dancing and didn't find anything spectacular so I just searched for dancing and I found this eBay seller called "pmpleasures" who was selling pole dancing kits. These things have recently started to REALLY take off in the UK and more girls in Ireland are looking to take up Pole Dancing as a way to keep fit (This is FINE by me by the way!), so I thought there might be an interesting blog to be had from the subject so I had a look to see what else pmpleasure might have for sale and that is where I have found what has to be one of the strangest things I have found for sale yet..

The "ID Juicy Lube Multi Flavoured Variety Pack". WTF!?!

Now I know I am Irish so maybe I am out of sync somehow with the rest of the world but I just don't see the point of flavoured lube.. Generally speaking anytime I've used lube I haven't particularly wanted to "chow down" afterwards, or if you are applying it anywhere your mouth is going to be before use surely anything tasty will be all gone by the time you get to the "main course" thereby making the originaly application fairly pointless?!?

Camping crappers

2005-08-07T09:49:00.000+01:00

I spent most of yesterday laying a new floor in the bathroom (looks very nice now I must say) but in the process I had to take out the toilet, and as I couldn't get any plumber's putty anywhere yesterday, I had to leave it disconnected. Luckily we have more than one in the house, but I was wondering, what if we were really stuck? What kinda devices are available for those awkward moments when you're caught short without a proper toilet (and no newyorkmoments, this is nothing to do with an anal torture device! Although...).

Well, there's a good few quality porta-potties out there that you probably wouldn't mind using, although I'm not sure about emptying them, but a couple of things caught my eye while browsing. Top of the range are those plastic self-contained jobbies like this Porta Potty. Not too bad, and you could have it anywhere. Actually, you'd probably want a Pop-up Potty Tent with it. That tent comes with it's own, and I quote "A HEAVY DUTY folding Toilet (that holds more then 350 lbs and converts to a regular camp stool!)". 350lbs??? And then you want someone to sit on it around the camp fire? What about the gasses??? *shudder* Although the tent is pretty good. Doesn't she look comfortable in there? The closest you'll get to an action shot (no, not action shit).

But the best (or worst really) at the lowest end of the spectrum has to be the Plastic Bag Toilet. What a miracle of engineering! But what do you do when it's full? I can't imagine just tying a knot in the top and tossing into the car to bring home and empty. Any camping or other scheise stories?

I am determined to get this toilet back in action today!

Be the Lord of the Rings!

2005-08-06T11:55:00.000+01:00

Ok, this isn't quite the strangest thing I've seen for sale on the web, but personally, I'd love one of these! You know the way you're at a party or BBQ and grab a cold one and can't find a bottle opener? So you use a lighter to pry it off, or bang it off a table edge, or in the case of some old friends of mine, lacerate your gums by biting it off? Well no more! The Ring Thingwill just sit on your finger awaiting your command to pop that top. Think Geek really do think of everything!

I think combined with the Belt Buckle we posted earlier this makes for the ultimate beer drinker apparel, although I draw the line at the beer can hats! I don't know why I like this so much at the moment considering I have a bit of a headache from being out last night!

New Look!

2005-08-05T16:47:00.000+01:00

Hey All,

As you may have noticed we've tweaked the design a bit to fit with our Dr. Strangelove\Strangesales Theme so Black and White movie madness has descended on our little corner of the blogsphere.. Adeptus has done us proud!

If any of you have any suggestions for improving the design at all PLEASE post them as a comment. Also every comment we get on this post gets you a spot on our blogroll! (You can link to us too if you want to of course! ;))

Updated for Lushy. One HOT Irishman picture!

2005-08-04T16:59:00.000+01:00

This is for all you cubicle dwellers out there!

"The Cubes® - Cubicle Playsets" look so cool. I've never actually worked in a cubicle but if it's as much fun as it looks with some of the pictures I found on the ThinkGeek.com site I'd be very very happy!

They've got a few different sets that can be added together to make your own mini empire.. Perfect for the sadist in you ;)

Buy your own Island

2005-07-30T17:01:00.000+01:00

Todays blog is a little bit indulgent, I'm posting one of the more upmarket real estate listings I have seen online ;)

The World of Private Islands:

"This 20 + acre emerald gem of an island possesses a superb white sand beach as good as any in the Windward Islands and that's saying a lot. The island is about 2- miles off mainland Grenada. The beach faces a tropical lagoon whose pristine turquoise waters offer a protected anchorage, lovely swimming and snorkeling. Just offshore lies a coral reef with untouched coral gardens and multi-coloured fish. It is like having a living aquarium on your doorstep!"

This is an Island in the caribbean that I have actually had the pleasure of visiting myself when I was younger! When I was 12 my Dad had spent the last several years making his way from Ireland to the west indies in a boat. Then I ended up moving out to live with him for a year sailing up and down from Antigua and Barbuda to Trinidad and Tobago before spending 35 days doing the trans-atlantic trip from Anitugua direct to Kinsale.

So it brought back some great memories to see this island and remember a "simpler" time in my life!! :) So if you DO have about $7m to spare I can't recommend the place enough (The snorkling there is UNREAL) and hey if you buy it you can surely afford the price of a ticket to fly me out so I can show you around ;) !!

However if you can't afford this particular purchase you could just Buy the whole WORLD!

hehehe

The Perfect Hangover Cure

2005-07-29T20:25:00.000+01:00

Ok, as Gambl0r was a bit raw today following his Birthday celebrations, I thought I'd find him what a former colleage described as the perfect hangover cure. A Dialysis Machine. Yes indeed folks, just tap into that sucker and in a couple of hours, all toxins are cleaned from your body. Give your kidneys a break!

Actually, my former colleage DID need one of these till he had a transplant, and he said it really does work for hangovers. He could go on a binge the night before he was due dialysis and if he woke feeling like crap (which in fairness he probably did most mornings considering his kidneys didn't work) he'd be right as rain after a bit of blood filtering.

Although, you may need some qualifications to use it properly, and no Gambl0r, your Nurses Outfit doesn't count!

Cute or cruel?

2005-07-27T22:52:00.000+01:00

I have mixed feelings about these kinda things, but I'll let you guys be the judge. You know the way people with kids like to dress em up and make 'em all cutesy? Well, some people do. My own son is 5 months old, and while I'm not sure I'd put him in all of these, there's two that would be tempting when he gets a little bigger. I'll let you guess which ;)

The first one to catch my eye was the Baby Butterfly Costume. Now I know baby butterflies are actually caterpillers, but you know what I mean. Cut the wings off this and you have a great maggot outfit :D. It's kinda cute, but that baby doesn't look so sure! It looks more like a hermetically sealed unit so he can have as many craps as he likes without mammy or daddy knowing a thing about it! Hmmm, now there's an idea.

So, looking at some other kids outfits (and some adult ones but that's for another blog) I came across the cutest Yoda Toddler Outfit. This gave me a great laugh. It's better than the Darth Vader as a Toddler one, which is also pretty cool. Looks nothing like Anakin, but it's great to imagine a young Darth with the black garb on! Ok, maybe not...

I think the cruellest outfit I saw had to be the Mickey Mouse Baby Outfit. It must be humiliating! Although, now that I look at the picture again, it is kinda cute. On the right baby of course! :D

Update!

I had to add these. I found a Princess Leia outfit that is just the funniest! Classic! There's loads of these, plus some really cool Janga/Boba Fett and Jedi Knight coustumes for bigger kids (from 9 to 90 I'd say) on this B-Somebody e-bay store. I wish I was allowed to buy some! :D

I've struck GOLD!

2005-07-27T19:58:00.000+01:00

Dear God I have found a new Mecca!!

While eBay has provided me with such treasures as the Cheerleader poster, the empty Star Wars Pepsi cans, the Stuffed Frog Furniture and of course all the David Hasselhoff goods you could possibly want and Amazon has provided me with one of my all time favourites the Sex for Dummies book, today I found a treasure trove of strange stuff.

First off this is not so much strange but I seem to have found myself talking about alcohol a lot both on the her daddy's eyes blog and the such a pretty face blog so I thought I better talk about it on my own blog.. The "mini" cocktail shaker. Again I find myself wondering WHY would anyone want something like this? Maybe if you were making cocktails for your 3 year old then yeah but for the rest of us we need BIGGER cocktail makers, NOT smaller ones!

This one is VERY very strange .. It's the "Nunzilla"!

Basically it's a 2" terror machine with a Bible in one hand and a ruler in the other. Not only that but when you wind it up it runs around waving both of them while spitting fire (well, sparks really) out of it's mouth!

Next on the list? The "Think Tank"!

This is one of the weirdest pieces of furniture I have ever seen in my life.. So what does it do? Basically it does nothing.. It's a brain in a bubbling tank with a light..

The site itself says: "This glowing life-like brain in a bubbling self contained unit, is much like the ones from the 1950’s horror films.

It’s great as an office oddity, or Halloween effect. The constant bubbling can even be relaxing."

And if you can't afforfdthe Think Tank then this is surely the next best thing..

The "Brain Mold" is something I am going to have to get for myself. I LOVE Jelly (or Jello for you yanks) and the idea of a brain shape portion of strawberry jelly sounds LOVERLY to me!

Funny Joggers!

2005-07-26T18:34:00.000+01:00

I'm rendered momentarily speechless so I'll just post the link.. Funny Joggers.

An honest cheerleader poster!

2005-07-25T23:17:00.000+01:00

A poster that tells it as it is!

This one has just made the list of must give presents! I know an awfull lot of people that need to be given this as a present in as public a place as possible!

Then again knowing my friends that won't be a problem.. Maybe if I added a copy of Sex for Dummies so they can check out the "different strokes" and "Masturbation for life" chapters, after all "virginity is not a renewable resource"! ROFL

Two four six eight..

It took a lot of balls...

2005-07-25T23:08:00.000+01:00

When you see something that says "Our scrotes are generally larger, more supple and more durable than any in the world", it tends to grab your attention. Ehhh, that probably comes accross all wrong, but you know what I mean! Just look at the picture!

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry at this one, but if you're male, it'll probably bring a tear to your eye anyway. It's a Kangaroo Scrotum Purse and perfect for keeping your valuables in (Even your JPII Dollar Bills). Although the poor Kangaroo's didn't manage to keep their family jewels safe :o

These guys have a load of Kangaroo-related stuff, including Chrome-finished Kangaroo Leather, and a rather disturbing Kangaroo Scrotum Bottle Opener so you can skip along to the bar with no worries! Ow!

Money CAN be part of your religion!

2005-07-25T22:02:00.000+01:00

Ok, Gambl0r's post about the Jack Niclaus £5 note had me curious about "celebrity money", but this is a bit extreme, visually if nothing else. The Pope John Paul II Dollar Bill.

I'm still trying to find out if this is legal tender, but I can't help shaking the picture in my mind of sticking a rolled up Pope John Paul II Dollar Bill down some strippers g-string! What would he have thought?! What would she think?!

And if that isn't high enough up the Catholic ranks, you can buy 5000 Virgin Mary Mother of Christ Dollar Bills. Very tasteful.

Harry Potter Misprints on eBay

2005-07-25T18:53:00.000+01:00

This one is for all the Harry Potter fans out there (me included, just finished the book yesterday! :D)

There have been a few different types of misprints found in various printings of the latest book and they are getting some scary high bids on eBay, personally I don't get it.. Who would want to pay MORE for a book that's defective!

Anyway, click here to see a list of Harry Potter Misprints on eBay!

Jack Nicklaus £5 Note on eBay

2005-07-24T14:08:00.000+01:00

OK, This is an interesting one!

A Golfer is now the first person outside of the royal family in to have his face officially put onto a £5 note. The Bank of Scotland have issued them to celebrate Jack Nicklaus achievements at the British Open playing at St Andrews.

I thought at first that this must be some sort of scam till I found this quote from the Chicago Sunday Times about it:

"Two million of the notes will be issued, and the design of the bill is interesting. On the front it shows a portrait of Lord Ilay, the first governor of Scotland (1727-1737), the outline of Edinburgh Castle and a golden bear above the name "NICKLAUS".

On the back is a picture of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, an action shot of Nicklaus teeing off in 1978, a shot of him holding the claret jug and a list of his scores when he won the Open at the Old Course in 1970 and 1978.

Also included are his scores for those two years: 68, 69, 73, 73 and 72 (in a playoff) in 1970, and 71, 72, 69 and 69 in 1978.

The name "Jack Nicklaus'' is on the bill five times -- and who knows? there may be some subliminal watermarks that users will not fully appreciate except in therapy -- and overall it is rather unusual.

I mean, should you spend this thing or make it a poster?"

Stuffed in cold blood...

2005-07-21T19:02:00.000+01:00

All right so, after reading a bit about "alligators ... being born with puny and undeveloped sex organs" and posting it in an earlier blog entry, now I know what happens to them when they don't have enough Testosterone! They get caught and end up as bloody mustard pots or something! This is a little macabre, and I'm not sure I'l like to be dipping my frankfurter into mustard held by a dead-eyed parcel of teeth like this.

There's a whole range of strange stuffed reptiles and amphibians availble, but I think my favourites are the so called "Threesome Style Excercising" Frogs.

They don't do that in my gym! But then maybe I don't pay enough...

The Family Guy Quiz!!

Body Candy

2005-07-20T22:07:00.000+01:00

This one is a bit strange.. I actually amn't quite sure how I found this site but I did and just had to share what I found there.. Neon "light stick" tongue ring sets!

Here is a sample quote from someone that has used them:
"these are awesome for a rave or club, or even just in a dark room with that special someone. ;-) they light up the inside of your mouth when you open it in the dark and they are incredibly durable and you dont have to worry about them breaking if you accidently bite one. highly reccommended!"

Not my "cup of tea" but the idea of them was so freaky they were a must post really :D

Have a look for yourself on the Body Candy Site.

Updated!
You have to check out this Bottle Opener Belt Buckle!! Now THERE is a handy product!

Just saw this excellent post and had to post it, I know it doesn't fit the category of the blog at all but it's just so cool I had to post it.

Beer 1.0 is now released under standard open source rules!

"people are free to use the recipe to make beer and sell it in stores but they will have to publish the recipe under the Creative Commons License and give credit to the group of students from IT University of Copenhagen"

Bring the Hoff to Ireland!

2005-07-20T09:32:00.000+01:00

This is more a campaign to help someone sell something. Let's sell the idea of bringing "The Hoff" to Ireland!

Actually.. I must have a look and see if I can find some "Hoff" stuff for sale.. See what's out there..

Check back later to see what I can find :D

UPDATED!!

MY GOD! I've found some CLASSIC David Hasselhoff stuff.

Have a look at this list of golden god goodness!

This is a real life David Hasselhoff APRON!

Take me away David!

David Hasselhoff & Gary Coleman T-Shirt.

These are so classic! I think I might have to make "The Hoff" a regular feature on the site :)

For Men Who Want To Stay Men!

2005-07-19T22:38:00.000+01:00

Here's some interesting facts that I certainly never knew:

"Worldwide studies of toxic plastics known as "Xenoestrogens," have shown that these toxins cause female characteristics in men. These abnormalities include: lower testosterone production, atrophied testicles, increased breast growth, and excessive secretion of the female pituitary hormone prolactin. Excessive prolactin production is the culprit blamed for 70% - 80% of erection failures. Chemical toxins are a worldwide problem. People wonder why seagulls no longer mate and alligators are being born with puny and undeveloped sex organs?"

Now, I thought my increased breast growth was because I eat too much and don't excercise, but it was those bloody "Xenoestrogens" all the time! Damn you "Xenoestrogens"! Apparently it wasn't the mexican fries and sausages in batter, it was the plastic forks that did it to me, and the bottles that my full fat coke was in!

Luckily help is at hand (so to speak)! Just get yourself some "NO 1. Real Doctors TESTOSTERONE CREAM GEL", rub it into your skin, and your manhood will return! I think you can rub it in anywhere, and they very thoughtfully give you a mit if you buy two tubs. I can't help wondering if that's to prevent one hand growing larger than the other if you keep "rubbing it in" with the one hand. Hmmm... They should probably bundle it with Sex for Dummies!

Now, who's going to rub it into the alligators? Poor things...

Sex for Dummies!

2005-07-19T14:48:00.000+01:00

LOL I saw this one ages ago and completely forgot about it: Sex for Dummies!

And no, that isn't just a fake mock-up, click here and check it out for yourself!

I had a "peek inside" on the amazon site and it has some great chapter names in there:
"First Times no Charm"
"Viva the Vulva"
"Virginity is not a renewable resource"

And of course chapters such as:
"Different Strokes"
"Masturbation for Life"

I will say that when I started reading the chapter lists it DID actually seem to have some really good chapters in there and if it didn't have a "for dummies" associated with it I think I'd be much more likely to treat it a bit more seriously. There is even half a chance I might buy a copy for myself just for the novelty factor! :D

Anyone want to buy a tree branch?

2005-07-19T14:07:00.000+01:00

OK this one is VERY VERY weird. Someone is selling branches from O'Connell street here in Dublin (I was on that particular street earlier today!) , here is what the "seller" had to say:

"This is a one-off opportunity to purchase a poignant memento of the magnificent but now extinct mature trees which just days ago majestically graced Ireland's main thouroughfare. Dublin planners have finally succeeded in their plans to remove the lungs of the city. The decision makers obviously know better than the inhabitants of Dublin The branch being sold belonged to one of the last ancient trees to grow on O'Connell St and it is certain there will not be anything like it on the street for at least several generations. These trees survived through the many troubles that have occurred in modern I reland, including the 1916 rising. Sadly however they could not survive the logic of those entrusted with running the city and so they were felled. There are few cities fortunate enough to have successfully accomodated mature trees in a modernising landscape and sadly Dublin is no longer one of them.

The last of the remaining 10 mature London Plain trees were felled on Tuesday 12th July 2005.... this branch is one of the last surviving pieces.

All proceed from this auction will be donated to Greenpeace.

This is an unique item and bidding is expected to be intense."

Can anyone verify that the money WILL actually be donated to Greenpeace?

O'Connell Street Branches for sale on eBay.

I've never played with Dollies, but...

2005-07-18T21:06:00.000+01:00

...maybe I'll start! I came across some of this stuff on eBay, and no, I wasn't "looking" for something like this in particular, but once you see a thumbnail like this you have to click, just to see are they really dolls with gimp suits on. Some might be disappointed to find that yes, they are plastic pals, but Nancy Farmer, the creator of the FetishDollies has got a real eye for style! There's a few on sale on eBay, and you can also visit the main Fetish Dollies site. Very tasteful, lot of ideas, and completely legal! :oD

How much are people will to spend on a collection of EMPTY cans of pepsi? The current bid is $15.50 but there is still 8 days to go!

The seller said "Beautiful mint condition 24 can Pepsi display in a case with can titled "Destiny" in it's own individule case." and "These cans are sealed & empty with the original tabs in place. No holes or dings."
