Not Dopey-Looking At All: Yoda Bathrobe

Great White Snark — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:30:49 +0000

This Yoda bathrobe is now an actual commercial item you can purchase from the UK’s Boys Stuff store, but unless you’ve ever wanted to wear Yoda’s scalp upon your own*, I don’t see in any way how this could be a good idea.

* And even then, it’s still not a good idea. You twisted bastard.

Great White Snark — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 18:32:26 +0000

I’ll Keep It Forever: “The Goonies” Chunk on an Antique China Plate

Great White Snark — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:31:51 +0000

The Beat Up Creations Etsy shop features tens and tens (hundreds?) of antique plates enhanced with iconic pop culture imagery. (There’s even something for you unfortunate Star Trek nerds. Don’t say I never gave you anything.)

But I saved you the trouble of sorting through them to find the best one.

Ugly on Purpose: World of Warcraft Gaming Mouse

Great White Snark — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:09:50 +0000

This World of Warcraft gaming mouse is quite the garish monstrosity. Which means that if you’re a World of Warcraft addict, it should go very nicely with the dismaying horror-show that is your life.

Via DVICE, who judges me for slamming on WoW nerds. Too easy.

This Seems Useful: Zombie Stationery

Great White Snark — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:30:24 +0000

Now zombie fans have an excuse to rediscover the all-but-lost art of the handwritten letter.

And everyone else has an excuse to roll their eyes at the tactlessness of letter-writing zombie fans. “A picture of rotting flesh? In the mail? For me? Whomever should I thank for this??”

The Stationery of Horror comes via boingboing, who thinks you should quit your bitchin’; it’s not like you were getting all this other awesome mail before now.

I’m not sure what a screwdriver, bullet casings, and nail clippers have to do with steampunk…

He Will Be Remembered (and Scoffed at) Fondly: Computer Tombstone

Great White Snark — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 19:45:11 +0000

A man in China who loved computers died at the age of 26 while emailing his friends. So his family had a headstone carved for him in the shape of a desktop computer, with the monitor displaying his dates of birth and death.

Because, obviously.

Via Nerd Approved, who loves internet porn, so I can’t wait to buy him a headstone.

Yes, This Exists: The Star Trek Cookbook

Great White Snark — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 16:30:48 +0000

That’s right. The Star Trek Cookbook.

So what’s the featured recipe? NERD CAKES? Ha!

…

Yeah. That happened. And I apologize. Not for mocking this lamebrained idea for a cookbook, but for the lazy joke. Sometimes the low-hanging fruit is the tastiest, you know?

Seriously, though, folks… [waggles cigar] …given what I can see of the rather Plain Jane recipes on the cover, couldn’t this easily have just been called “Cookbook”?

Try again, Star Trek nerds.
