Oct 19 2009 DO WANT: Tyrannosaurus Rex Wall Decals
This $45 Tyrannosaurs Rex wall decal is available from Etsy seller lildecalshoppe (who will make you any decal you want) and is definitely something I'd never tire of waking up next to. Also, a box of Thin Mints.
* Made from 7 year high quality vinyl * Measures 65 x 45 inches * Available in many other colors. Please email color choice or black will be sent.
We use a durable high grade matte finish vinyl which gives a painted look and feel to your wall. Decals are self adhesive making them easy to apply and remove, leaving no residue behind. This material is specifically made for interior walls and will last a very long time indoors.
7 year vinyl? They're aging their vinyl! If that's not a sign of quality I don't know what is. Because one time I drank 12-year old bourbon and then when I was puking it felt like I was breathing fire. DAMN YEAH JUST LIKE BOWSER!
Thanks to twellve, who is totally gonna get one for her new nephew. Jealous!

Tony the Chauffeur: So he says "My wife's a pain in the ass. She's always busting my friggin' agates. My daughter's married to a real loser bastard. And I got a rash so bad on my ass, I can't even sit down. But you know me. I can't complain."
The Dude: F***in' A, man. I got a rash, man.
Hit the jump for a picture of Walter and another version of The Dude.

Mar 12 2008 DIY Vinyl Video Game Cabinet Is Cute
The SOOPA is a little $30 vinyl arcade cabinet that you get to decorate yourself. "The 7 inch vinyl toy can be customized with paint, markers, pencils, ink and more. Packaged with each SOOPA vinyl toy are stickers that you can also use to design a screen, marquee, and wrapping cabinet art. Pay homage to your favorite arcade games or make up new ones." The cabinet looks pretty much identical to this one, so you can get an idea of what it's possible to create. I'm gonna get really creative and design the sweetest video game known to man. I'm thinking something about a plumber dressed in red that has to save a damsel in distress from a sexually frustrated ape. I'm going to call it, um, Donkey Dong. The cabinet art will feature a primate waving his thingie around like he's crazy. Damn that sounds good. You know, my originality startles even me sometimes.

Aug 31 2007 Laser Record Player
If you've got $14,000 to throw around and really love your vinyl, then maybe the ELP Laser Turntable is for you.
Instead of a needle dropping down on your stacks of wax, four lasers read the reflections of your records' grooves, while a fifth tracks each record's warp to keep the reading beams' height constant. The result is more accurate sound reproduction than a traditional stylus produces, with all the warmth that purists crave, minus the wear and tear on the record.
This is great, but $14,000? Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of dropping the needle on a Barry Manilow album and watching the clothes melt off beautiful women, but for that kind of money I'd rather huff a truckload of model airplane glue and play with myself.
