Reader submission: Human Space Invaders

Trust me..  this is a work of genius.

Thanks Mike

the douche card

These are too great. Keep a couple Douche Cards (US$5/package of 25 cards) in your wallet, and the next time that dude cuts in front of you at Starbucks, hand him one. Too easy.

Got candles?: Hotwicks.

Hotwicks (US$9) definitely aren’t your typical candles. With scents like beer, campfire, grass (as in lawn), new car, pancake, pigskin, stripper, popcorn, and the rather scrumptious sounding urinal cake, your place can smell exactly how you want it to. Just be careful with combinations. While beer + grass + pigskin = great gameday memories, beer + hippie + stripper + urinal cake + dryer sheet = that time when you and that weird guy at the airport used your layover in Chicago to get plastered at a strip club, passed out in the bathroom, missed your flight, drove 9 hours home, then tried to cover up the incriminating smell with dryer sheets you bought at the 7-Eleven two blocks from home. Good times.

The robots have arrived. so creepy, it’s err.. creepy.

Call me a nerd if you must, but I’ve been watching the progress of the “dog” series robots from Boston Dynamics for a while.

I now feel the time has come to share my fears with you all. Check this video out. Something happens about 35 seconds in that may give you the chills. Or.. if it doesn’t, it should.. I bring you.. “Big Dog”

 We all know about common male mistakes, and we’re all guilty of making them from time to time. Mistakes Men Make (US$11) is a guide to avoiding these chick-flick cliches, packed with tips and do’s and don’ts, covering everything from home decor to personal hygiene in a hilarious fashion. Written by About.com men’s fashion and grooming guru Daniel Billett, it’s sure to help you become more, well, mistake-less. Or somethingj.  

Flux Capacitor

Back to the Future fans, your day has arrived. The Back to the Future Flux Capacitor Replica (US$220) is a high-tech recreation of the heart of Doc Brown’s time machine, featuring full lighting effects and adjustable power settings. Each 16-inch by 12-inch replica also comes hand-numbered in a matching box, with a Certificate of Authenticity. DeLorean not included. j 

Good lord yes. Joshinthecity brings you.. The Slanket.

While it might not be the most fashionable thing to wear around the house, The Slanket(US$45) is cool (or warm) enough to be billed as “the best blanket ever.” Made from super-soft polyester microfiber and sporting two oversized sleeves, the Slanket is certainly right up our alley. The sleeves allow for much greater motion than a normal blanket - think flipping through a magazine, changing channels, or grabbing another Dorito from underneath the covers - and a large, 95″x60″ footprint makes sure you stay cozy, no matter what you’re doing. This may be the sweetest thing I have ever seen.j 

J.I.T.C candidate for best ad ever..

Shamelessly stolen from another awesome blog…

How’d they do that???

All boots are not created equal: Behold the Doc Martin 939z. The perfect boot.

I know you don’t care, but I’m going to tell you anyway.
Boots are cool. Almost everyone likes a good boot.
But this… this is a whole ‘nother league.
I bought a pair of these today, after a LONG search. And I firmly believe they are the perfect boot. I may never wear any other footwear. I’ll be the guy wearing shorts and boots in summer. You know the guy.. you look at him while he’s waiting to cross the road and you think.. dood, what’s with the boots?
I have the answer.. if you look closely, I’m sure you’ll find he’s wearing a pair of Doc Martin’s 6-hole 939’s.
I’m going to propose they go into the museum of modern art, and I’m not even a “shoe-person”.
My feet have never been so happy
That is all.
