02.28.08 by Widge @ 2:33 pm  In a move that's sent shock waves through out the makeup world, Mary Kay announced today they have launched a "Healthier Skin Through Air Power" campaign, rolling out their newest offering: Viper jets with pink highlights. "Pink Cadillacs are so 90s," said one unnamed source. "It's getting so you can't throw an eyeliner without hitting a pink something or other with four wheels. But when you're driving one of these, baby--people know you're to be taken seriously." Categorized as: Toys

What's nuts is that there's characters that I don't even recognize--and I used to study my copies of Who's Who and Marvel Universe. Isn't that sad? (Note: rhetorical.) Categorized as: Toys

01.28.08 by Widge @ 10:57 pm Mark Evanier posted this a while back, and I have to wonder as well: is this real? Did this ever happen? I mean...a game where the whole game consists of playing whipped cream roulette with a safety plastic visor on? Really? Was this originally designed for kids who were allergic to whipped cream and yet wanted to be smacked in the face with a pie...? Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: Toys

01.26.08 by Widge @ 6:46 pm  This is unbelievably cool. And like most things truly geekgasmic, it's beyond the expense account of most of us. So I highly recommend going to the B9 Creations website and drooling to your heart's content: but the gist is this. For the low, low price of $24.5K, you too can own your own Lost in Space robot. Look at the army of them. Now, blah blah blah, I know, whoopee, it looks like the robot. But no. The list of features is impressive. It's got a sound system. It's got vocal samples recorded by Richard Tufeld, who voiced the original. It's animated. It's motorized. And if that wasn't enough, you can make you friends crap their pants with this: A 5 button key chain remote control allow you to discretely activate the Robot. Functions include turning the Robot's torso left/right, directing the Robot's voice to respond "Affirmative/Negative", activating the Robot's soil sampling sequence. "I'll just hang my coat on this robot in your foyer and--GAHHHH!!!! WTF??!???" You know you'd buy it just to do that to one of your friends. And, more to the point, you've already picked out the most likely target among your crew. I know how you maniacs work. Because I'm one of you. Categorized as: Toys
