Kinderlite Disposable Campfire
I love camping… mainly because of the campfire. Not much is better, for me, than sitting around the campfire relaxing and zoning out. The lighting of the fire has never really been a problem… put some paper under some kindling… then when the fire gets going add on some decent sized wood. I never knew […]
Chinese Porno Sinks
This is what happens when you give a perverted contractor free reign to install new outdoor sinks. Believe it or not, these are in China of all places. I imagine they are out of commission during the Olympics as the Chinese put their best butt foot forward.
Bad Ass Golf Carts
Bad Ass Golf Carts in Las Vegas has some seriously trick golf cart options. They offer everything from limousine stretch versions to lifted a full 14-inches. The best part… they put 24HP Honda engines in the carts so they are reliable. They aren’t cheap… the one I want starts at almost $13,000. [Source]

Get Your Very Own Olympic Torch… Replica
For a paltry $500 you can have a replica (built from left over steel from the “Birds Nest” national stadium) of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch. I love the Olympics as much as the next guy/gal… but not sure I want a 29cm tall version of it laying around collecting dust. By the way… anyone […]
Hammock Tent
Love camping… but not a fan of pitching your tent on the ground with the scorpions, spiders, rodents, etc…? Check out the Lawson Hammock tent. This tent comes with spreader bars on both ends so you don’t feel like a mummy… it can hold one person and their gear. Pretty cool… assuming you can find […]
2010 Honda Hybrid
Looks like Honda is dedicating more energy and development on an all new hybrid vehicle. This hybrid is not going to share a body style with another existing vehicle… like their last hybrids did (civic, accord, etc…). This hybrid will be available in the fall of 2009 and Honda expects to ship only 100,000 units […]
A Bowl Haircut For Your Goatee – the Goateesaver
When I first saw this I literally was laughing out loud (or LOL for the cool folks). This gadget is basically an adjustable goatee cover that you shave around. Think of the old fashioned bowl haircut. I have a goatee and sometimes (rarely) struggle with getting the shave straight. I am not sure if I […]

ICON’s hope is that the plane will appeal to customers who are intimidated by the process of getting a typical pilots license, or/and don’t have a place to store a full sized plane. The ICON […]
