  • FIRE: Futurama's Bender Made Into Woodburning Stove
    April 9, 2013
    This is Futurama's Bender made into a woodburning stove by metalworker Rob Halftroll, who had a troll father and never heard the end of it on the school playground. I know that feel. You just toss some logs in, douse them with alcohol (Bender insists), add a flame, and WHOOSH... / Continue →

  • Triolin, A Three-Bodied Violin To Play With Two Friends
    March 19, 2013
    This is Alex Sobolev's triolin, a thee bodied violin mutant. The violins are connected at the base, so the instruments have to be played the opposite way you normally would (with the head at your neck instead of the base). What do you think of this, Charlie Daniels? "The dev... / Continue →

  • There Can Be Only One: Game Of Thrones RISK Set
    August 16, 2012
    This is a custom wooden Game of Thrones themed RISK set made by artist Fay Helfer. Hopefully it'll spur Parker Brothers to make an officially licensed version, because I would play that. I'd also brandish a sword at the table and drink mulled wine. Or wine coolers, I don't c... / Continue →

    July 20, 2012
    Paper Passion is an actual $98 perfume that smells like books. I'm not sure if it makes you smell like new books, old books, or books with boogers between the pages, but who cares, I'd rather smell like any of those than AXE body-spray. I'm an Old Spice guy. "Jesus, how old ... / Continue →
