Blade Runner pistol replica

There's badass prop replicas and then there's these replicas of Deckard's pistol from Blade Runner. To add insult to your silent cry of "Why the hell aren't I rich? I hate my life!" is the all-metal version that has lights and sounds built in. Here's a taste:

There are two sound for the start up, one that sounds like a High Energy Charging system startup and another that is more like a robotic woman's voice saying "Weapon Armed", to change you need to look between the ammo housing and the front of the trigger guard, in there you will find a small slide switch which controls which sound effect is played.

Tip of the iceberg. And too freaking sweet. The man's name is Richard Coyle, and he's got a website where he details the creation of this gun and other prop bits.

Teddy bear gun

I think this didn't make it into the shooting script:

Q: Well, you see, 007, this may look ridiculous but the teddy bear actually explodes upon impact. These have been known to put fist-sized holes into armored-plated vehicles.

BOND: Hmmm. All right, Q, I'll...take your word for it.

(BOND leaves.)

Q: (snickering) Everyone! Everyone! He believed it!

(ALL laugh.)

M: I wish I could see the look on his face when he tries that on a tank.

Okay, we're lying bastards. It's really a teddy bear gun you use at Japanese wedding receptions.

Yeah, I know. The Bond thing seems more plausible. Found via Gizmodo.

Goth-Friendly TP on the Way

Okay, this is really getting out of hand. First we have a black iPod. Then we have a black Sidekick. Now...black toilet paper?

For God's sake, stop making everything black just because you think that folks like me will buy it.

Because...you're...you're right. And it's exploitative. And I'm weak. Because I want to try this stuff. You big bullies. *sniff* God forgive me.

...then Needcoffee.com probably never would have happened.

That's right, it's the Thudguard.

I have the sudden urge to go watch Parenthood. "And I'm the one in therapy!"
