Mexican Jumping Bean

First to recommend

Description

I know you know that Mexican Jumping Beans won't make you leap impossibly high, they don't wear sombreros, and they don't jump any more than a millimeter or so at a time... but they are worth (literally) minutes of entertainment. And then the clicking will make you batty! Which is all part of the fun, of course. Click, click. But don't worry, they don't live forever.

Does anything?

Flying Alarm Clock - Black

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

You think your alarm clock is annoying? I bet you don't have to go retrieve the button to shut it off every morning, like you do this little darling. Perfect gift for loved ones. Or hated ones, as the case may be.

LED Binary Clock

First to recommend

Description

You probably have to be a total geek to enjoy a binary clock... but I'm guessing you know somebody who could use one (assuming that somebody is not, of course, you).

Talking Barack Obama Bobber

First to recommend

Description

If you must have a bobber, it might as well look like Barack Obama and say "Yes, we can!" Not because that would be cool or hip. But because it would make you think that you could at least once a day. And that might not actually be such a bad idea.

POLE DANCER ALARM CLOCK

7 people recommended this item

Description

this is most definitely one way to wake up! when the alarm goes off the dancer starts moving around the pole for you. gentlemen, i know you love this idea but if you do make the choice to own it and you get the chance to have an overnight guest let me recommend hiding it for the evening.

Potato Gun

4 people recommended this item

Description

Once upon a time I wanted a Potato Gun more than any other thing I knew of, and I had one, but I didn't know it was a Potato Gun until much later. After it was broken. When I examined it, after many years, I realized the true purpose of my spud gun. To shoot potato bits. Though I simply was not aware. And then it was too late.

Now? My son has a Potato Gun. And he knows exactly what it is for. And I shall live vicariously through him.

Added bonus? Also shoots apples.

Philadelphia Chickens: Sandra Boynton, Michael Ford

First to recommend

Description

If you have kids (or know someone who has kids), you have to have the Philadelphia Chickens. Fun songs, funny songs, darn hilarious songs and drawings and great gads of goodness. My favorite song? Cows.

Oh, I can't really describe it here. You just have to get it, okay?

Well, have you?

Good all-purpose shirt for when your relatives come by with a computer question. You might want to have one for each day of the week. Also leave this as the message on your answering machine.

Honestly.
