Jul 24 2009 Stitch Wars: Gallery Of Star Wars Arts & Crafts

Hit the jump for 12 more I painstakingly uploaded for your viewing pleasure. I SAID DO IT!

Jan 27 2009 It's A Sock, It's A Camera, It's A....Sockera?
This is a digital camera made out socks by Netta Amir. Unfortunately, it can only take really fuzzy(!) pictures and is kind of a pervert (foot fetish). Wanna make one yourself? Look under your computer desk -- balled up socks? Well wash them. Then stitch them together and, if you're anything like me, PRESTO -- you're bleeding. Ha, I wasn't supposed to put them on first. But they were so warm and fresh out of the dryer! Alright, let's try this again. Ah, there we go -- eight socks sewn together. Kind of looks like an octopus. Hmm, I guess there are actual skills involved. But not gloves -- save those for the video camera.
Hit the jump for a bunch of closeups, including a picture the camera took.

Jan 17 2009 Stop Confusing Me, Damnit: The TOFU Robot
TOFU is a meat-free robot that looks and acts like a penguin crossed with a Furby crossed with my ex-girlfriend's muff (which I DID see once when I walked in on her in the shower -- score!) Developed at the MIT Media Lab, the little bastard dances to music and has OLED eyes that look eerily sexy. "He's a "squash and stretch" robot, one that uses techniques of social expression employed by 2D animators to give himself some personality." I have no idea what that means but I've killed my fair share of Furbys and, by God, I'll kill a battalion of these little robotic bitches too. But....those eyes....
UPDATE: Humankind, please forgive me, for I have sinned in the most I had-sex-with-a-robot way possible. And, I still have some more reading to do on the subject, but I think I might be pregnant.
Oct 8 2008 I Lost His Arm: Detachable Parts Zombie Doll
The Dismember-Me Plush Zombie from ThinkGeek ($15) is a cuddly little zombie with detachable parts. You can rip his arms, legs and head off, and his brain even comes out. To eat! However, the toy is not for children.
Choking Hazard - Small Parts. Not suitable for Children under 3 years. This is an Adult toy.
Haha, no, this is not an adult toy -- adult toys require batteries and lube. Also, a willing partner. Ladies?
Hit the jump for one more picture and a video of the undead bastards.

Sep 2 2008 Teddy Bear Phone Actually Being Made?
Willcom recently displayed a new phone at the 2008 Good Design Expo in Japan. But it doesn't stream classic 70's porno flicks or have a built in taser. Nope, The Kuma Phone just comes in the form factor of a teddy bear. The sick thing is the company actually wants to make the damn things, at $500 a pop.
It has a SIM card inside just like a real cell phone, and even stores four speed dial numbers, accessed through paw-squeezes. Awww. It vibrates and makes noises when you have incoming calls. When you get a call, just answer by gripping the bear's tail and end the call in the same way.
Awesome! One time I dropped a bunch of acid on a camping trip and a squirrel spoke to me. You know what the old and wise Rococo The Acorn Eater said? He said, "the meaning of life lies within the bear's nads". So, by deduction, the meaning of life is either monster testicles or, uh, cell phone parts.
Teddy Bear concept phone is just wrong [slipperybrick]
Thanks to Silver Sided, who once spoke into a Grizzly's balls and can now levitate and turn invisible at will.
Jun 12 2008 Unicorn Discovered, Little Girls And I Rejoice
This is a picture of a unicorn. A real, live unicorn. While technically not a corncob, a single horn protrudes from the center of the animal's head. The deer, which resides in Tuscany, Italy, has a twin with regular horns. It was born in captivity after its mother was struck by a car and unable to fend for herself in the wild.
The earliest mention of the beast was by the Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th century BC.In one notebook, Leonardo Da Vinci suggested unicorns could be captured using a virgin as bait.
Okay, so which one of you is gonna be the bait? HA! Just kidding, I'll do it :(
'Unicorn' born in Italy [telegraph]
Thanks Bryan and Ling, now let's capture that thing and offer unicorn rides at children's birthdays -- we'll be rich!
Feb 19 2008 New Elmo Toy Is Amazingly Amazing, Scary
The Elmo Live toy due out this fall made an appearance at the 2008 Toy Fair and let me tell you -- the little red bastard keeps getting scarier and scarier. He can sit, stand, sing, dance, tell stories and jokes, and all around freak you out. I don't care what Mattel says, there's a little person in that costume. And that, my friends, is freaking wrong.
Elmo Live breaks it down on video, seems too smart for his own good [engadget]
Feb 11 2008 The Hello Kitty AR-15 Is Just So Damn Cute
A man modded an AR-15 with a custom paintjob to produce one of the cutest guns I've ever seen -- the Hello Kitty AR-15. As you can see it's pink and looks really good. But only in a "I'm totally secure with my manliness" kind of way. And to prove myself I just bit the head off a squirrel. See, all man damnit. That being said, I'm going to start sleeping with one of these instead of my old stuffed bear. Which, incidentally, is a grizzly I choked to death with my bare hands.
Several more pictures after the jump, including a break down and some firing shots.
