Jun 20 2009 Classiest Nintendo Mod Yet: The PIMPendo

pimpendo.jpg

The PIMPendo is a Nintendo on pimp juice. I suspect it guzzled an entire goblet full. Then puked. Then drank more. Out of a hooker's mouth. That's nasty.

This completely refurbished NES system has been pimpified, including added LEDs which make the innards of the system glow red when it's powered on, a new zebra skin finish, gems galore, Plexiglas, a peacock feather and the most important addition, purple frill.

Listen trick, you better have my cartridges! What the -- DON'T MAKE ME GET THE POWER GLOVE.

Hit the jump for a couple more shots.

Jun 8 2009 Pimp Out Your Bike Wheels With Monkeylectric

Looking to add some flashy flair to your bicycle but already have a sweet horn? How about some LEDs for your wheels? Monkeylectric bike LEDs are capable of producing cool designs, including, and not just limited to: stars and shit.

It's essentially a AA battery-powered 256 RGB system that straps to a bike's spokes and has a sweet spot of between 8 and 20 mph: At 8, you'll just start to see the patterns in the center, and at 20 the light show will have taken over your entire wheel. It's customizable, but only to a point, as you have to use the on-board buttons to alter the patterns rather than loading images via USB or whatever.

A kit costs $60, which really isn't too bad considering all the seizures you'll cause. I just ordered two. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? If you answered, "a pot leaf on the front wheel and skull & crossbones on the back", you're not. I'm going dual mudflap chicks, baby!

Hit the jump for a picture of the device and a worthwhile video of them in action.

Thanks to Pablo and Jack, who can only afford silver cartridge bling because they aren't filthy rich like me.

Sep 8 2008 Seeing Is Believing: That Somebody Actually Decided To Pimp Out A Freaking Prius

Yep, somebody pimped out a Prius. To the max. The thing has 20" rims, inverted Koenigsegg doors, what appears to be an ion cannon, a billion speakers, a couple computers, alien technology, an engine, and seats. Allegedly, the powertrain is the only thing left unmodified. Wow. I mean, wow. Kind of defeats the purpose of getting a Prius in the first place, doesn't it? Seriously, WWJD were you thinking?

Hit the jump for a worthwhile video of the thing, and start around 2:00 for the good stuff.

Mar 18 2008 Make Sure She Says No By Proposing With The USB Engagement Ring

Being pressured by your significant other to pop the question? Are you just not ready for that kind of commitment but want to get in some good asking practice? Enter the USB Engagement ring. Made as a set of two, they can be connected to transfer data to each other (similar to how you can transfer disease with your privates). Now I don't think I need to tell you this is not the way to get engaged. Nope, this is the way to get kneed in the balls. Unless you're down on one knee, in which case it's the way to get your teeth kicked out.

Oh, and as a side note, those are definitely both man hands in the picture. And yes, the pimp in the back is the same minister that officiated my wedding.
