Rest in peace pipe

I’m whipping this baby out the next time I’m at a dinner party with the wife, and I don’t even smoke. This Skeleton Pipe from Medieval Weapon Art is spooky, and cool at the same time.

I never thought I’d ever take a bath with Gene Simmons, but I guess these days, anything is possible. Tub time was never this fun before I started bathing with this Kiss rubber ducky from The Retro Baby.com.

Sometimes fashion is all about the Benjamins. I’ll be looking cooler than Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch wearing one of these Big Money Pimp Hats from Century Novelty. These hats will liven up any party. Wear it next Halloween and I guarantee you’ll feel like a million bucks.

Warm hands, warm heart

My hands are always cold, especially in my office where it’s usually freezing. I’m hesitant to bring a muff to work (it would most likely make typing difficult) so I’m thinking of getting this Re-usable Hand Warmer from Proswing.com.
