Sep 2 2009 He's A Little Clingy: Spiderman Backpack
This $45 backpack carries a reasonable amount of stuff and makes it look like you're giving miniature Spiderman a piggyback ride. Or, if you're a real pervert like tipster Ste, like he's trying to get his spidey senses tingling from behind. Which, eeew -- that stuff that comes out of his hands is bad enough. I jest, you know I love it when you spray me with that shit, Spidey!

Aug 31 2009 Cheap!: Guy Selling Jetpack Thingy For $500
Some guy is Canada is selling a homemade jetpack via online classified ad for the low, low price of $500. Sure it'll kill you, but it's only $500!
Jet Pack -- Jumps You 10' in the Air
Handcrafted by myself Using Car and Airplane parts. I spent 15 years as a mechanic. Can Use for 2 High Jumps 10 feet in the air with a safe landing before overheating, takes about an hour to cool down after that.weighs 53lbs, approx Camping backback in size , dull grey in color.
serious buyers only can test out on my property and of course watch me first for safety reasons and training.
Two ten-foot jumps and then you have to let the thing sit for an hour? No offense, but that sounds like some incredibly weak shit. Just sayin', you know what else costs $500, will jump you 10-feet in the air, and NOT require an hour between uses? Twelve pogo sticks.
Thanks to Pepe La PEWPEW, who is in love with a LED flashlight. Hate to break it to you Pepe, but she ain't a laser.
Jun 23 2009 Vacuum: Oh Yeah, You Clean Those Drapes
This is basically an updated version of the Proton Packs used by the Ghostbusters. Allegedly, it can suck a ghost through a garden hose. And speaking of which, hey lady -- I've got a little something that could use some...no? We're not going there? Okay.
Capable of cleaning virtually any surface from carpet to tile to stone or hardwood floors., the Ergonomic Backpack Vacuum comes with a powerful suction that is even able to tackle items like broken glass, confetti, nuts and bolts and pet hair among others. Each $170 purchase will come with padded backpack straps, a HEPA filter to remove 99.9% of all dust, telescoping wand, easy reach attachments, a 26 ft. power cord, reusable collection bag and six disposable bags.
Hell yeah broken glass, confetti, nuts and bolts and pet hair -- that sounds like a party! So why wasn't I invited. Is it because of last time? I already told you -- I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE BATHROOM!

May 4 2009 Stylin' And Profilin': An R2-D2 Backpack
Well folks, today is Star Wars Day. What in the hell is Star Wars Day?
May 4 is called Star Wars Day because of a pun or play on words based on the similarity between "May the 4th be with you" and "May the force be with you", a phrase often spoken in the Star Wars movies.
Nice, Star Wars Day and then Cinco de Mayo, l feel a bender coming on. Also, possibly swine flu. But before I start pounding the brewhahas, here's a $65 R2-D2 bookbag. I want one, but they're currently sold out. So yeah, that's kind of putting a damper on my Star Wars Day festivities. But not for long because I just took like four doses of glitterstim spice! You feel that? I'm probing your mind. Aaaaaaaand now I'm wishing I hadn't.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a link to the product page.

Mar 13 2008 Backpack Has Speakers, Stormtrooper Styling
The Reppo II Backpack is a product design by Joonas Saaranen. As you may be able to tell being the astute observer that I know you are, it's a hardshell backpack with speakers. It was designed with those people in mind that want to subject you to their music no matter how much it sucks. Like Captain Deaf of the USS Busted Eardrums I had to sit next to on the bus yesterday. He was wearing headphones, but he had the volume up so loud the whole bus could probably hear. I mean WTF? I was going to grab his iPod and smash it, but I knew that things would work themselves out. And you know what? I was right. He got mugged after getting off at his stop. Poor bastard, no more music for him. Say, speaking of music -- I've got a nice iPod for sale. Great condition, comes with a pair of really loud headphones.

Nov 14 2007 I'd Rock That Wookiee: Chewbacca Backpack
The Chewbacca Backpack from ThinkGeek is a backpack made from a juvenile Wookiee that was killed and then dyed to look like Chewbacca. They run $40.
There are two extra features the Chewbacca Backpack has to offer. First, his bandoleer bag can hold some smaller accessories such as cables, business cards, or Ewok jerky. And second, there can be no bigger thrill than asking someone if they want to pet your Wookiee.
Well damn if ThinkGeek didn't beat me to the punch. But seriously, Wookiee pets, $1. Ladies?
A couple more views after the jump.

Aug 10 2007 Backpack Laser Cleaner
Clean Laser Systems of Germany has announced the release of the "first real fully mobile cleaning laser unit in the world. Available in electric versions or rechargeable battery powered, the laser unit consists of an air cooled "state of the art" diode pumped laser with an excellent laser beam quality and an ultra small focus."
In layman's terms what they have done here is "invented" the backpacks from Ghostbusters. I had one of these when I was ten, it just looked a lot more like my mom's canister vacuum, and if you want to get technical, there was no laser involved - there was, however, a stair cleaning attachment.
