SOS/Soup Bowl by StudioBo

So while I was checking around the StudioBo site for this post on Colors Are Overrated, I couldn't help but notice these delightfully sick ceramic bowls, designed to show a ship and a plane in a position of distress, having crashed into your soup.

If you had a bowlful of Siege's chili there, you would know that all the little people would have been dead instantly.

On Air light for your iPod

The folks at Cephalopodcast have figured out a way to let people know that the mic is on and could they please go the hell away because you're recording a podcast: an "On Air" sign for your iPod. Just follow his instructions and you won't have to write it on a sticky and place it on your forehead like our friend, Bernard Black.

And once that's done, take some masking tape, make "walls" around your desk and bitch at people when they refuse to come through the "door" like a proper person.

Boat Anchor Antique Phones For Sale

Neatorama points us to some kickass antique (some real, some reproductions) phones for sale at Distinctive Telephones. We call them Miriam's Dead phones, as a nod to a Dylan Moran routine.

But basically all you need to know is that they could only be used in hand to hand combat by a large ogre, since they're so freaking heavy. Slamming the receiver down, though, is not only satisfying but a good upper body workout.

Problem Light

This is a brilliant mashup between steampunkery and Venture Bros. I want one. Of course, I don't know it would ever go off, but still. I want one.

Giant Teacup Planter: So How Long Should You Let a Cat Steep?

Cat Tea

Because I'm just wondering.

Granted, I'm so allergic to cats that drinking cat tea would kill me stone dead. And if you're thinking of trying to poison me, I start itching when I enter a room cats only once thought about entering. So it's not the sort of thing you could surprise me with.

Stephen Fry

Okay, we're not ones for sleep around here. But if Stephen Fry's voice was coaxing us to reach for the arms of Morpheus, we might be convinced. Although I think he's a bit too kind for his voice to wake me up, since I sleep like the dead. I need something a lot more like this.

Homemade KITT

This is impressive. A guy has taken a Trans Am and pimped it out to be just like KITT. Check out the full eBay auction for more pics.

William Daniels not included. Although what you need is to buy it and pretend it's from the non-existent pilot from the failed UK version of the show. Then contact these guys about working up plenty of things for the car to say.

Intramural Zombie Hunting League card

Seibei does excellent work, as we've told you before. Now they're working to expand the Zombie Hunting League line of products. When you can't wear your jersey out and about, never fear: you can carry your membership card in your wallet. Not only does it have important information, like blood type, it also has a section with instructions for anyone who finds you've been infected. Sweet.

Check out the draft of the card.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, totally blinged out

Plot points for Pixar's upcoming Toy Story 3 have finally come to light. Although previous rumors have stated that the script would involve our heroes, Buzz and Woody, finally going to the equivalent of a toy paradise, recent script drafts have revealed that post-Disney deal the story is taking a decidedly different turn.

"We're all huge fans of Godfather 3 here at Pixar," a spokesperson said. "So just as that trilogy showed the unraveling of an empire, our third film will show what happens when the toys become bloated with their own Hollywood success and overconsume."
