Apr 30 2009 Surgical Masks: Fight The Swine Flu In Style
Let's face it, we're all gonna get the swine flu and die. But we can at least stave off infection for as long as possible and look stylish at the same time. Enter Yoriko Yoshida's (links to artists portfolio with tons and tons more) stylin' and profilin' surgical masks, each printed with a unique design. I call this one 'Octostache'. Hit the jump for a bunch more, but be sure to check out Yoriko's page to see them all. Then, get to designing your own. Or, alternatively, meet me in my underground bunker. I ain't going out because some jerk couldn't keep his penis in his pants at the petting zoo!

Apr 29 2008 The OctoDog Slices Wieners, Is Really Cute
OctoDog is a $16 kitchen utensil that slices hot dogs into a fun octopus shape (the eyes even poke eye holes in the dog). It's totally freaking awesome. Because, if there's one thing I learned growing up, it's that hot dogs are made of pig lips and assholes and only taste right if they're in the shape of an eight-legged sea creature. Hit the jump for a bunch more pictures of what you can do with your newfound hot dog friends as well as an instructional video on how to use the slicer. Just a word of warning though: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT purchase one of these if you're a man and currently cheating on your wife/girlfriend. Or if you just fight regularly and she has ever made any sort of threat to "slice your pecker up". If that's the case you should probably even delete your browser history and cookies so there's no chance she'll ever see this thing.
Worthwhile pictures and a video after the jump.

Feb 14 2008 I'm Stuck On You: Suction Cup Implants
Personally I want to leave the world with as many suction cups as I came in with, but for some of you that may not be the case (please note my opinion of elf ears is entirely different). Enter suction cup implants. Sadly they're just plastic saucers implanted under the skin and don't actually stick to anything. There were done by Dark Freak at the Luck All parlor in Sao Paulo, Brazil and look reasonably like the real thing. The dude should have gotten them all along the insides of his arms though. That would have been way more octo-like. Oh well, you know what they say -- a sucker is born every minute. Oh my God did I actually just write that? You're damn right I did, and I'm sticking to it.

Jan 11 2008 Octopus Jeans Chair Looks Comfy, Sort Of
The Octopus is a product design from AtelierBLINK, a two-woman creative team out of France. The chair is made out of recycled jeans that can be buttoned together in a number of different forms, to ensure that your living room will look as ridiculous as you want it to. It's filled with polystyrene balls and looks scary, which make it the Octopus Beanbag Chair Of Death. It nonchalantly wraps its Levi 32" tentacles around you until you're immobile, then releases a school of dreaded trouser eels to finish you off.
thanks to Sebastian, who is so freaking cool, for the tip
