Yogesh’s Daily Doggle 7

It’s that time again, the time when I turn the reins over to my the virtual personal assistant I’ve hired in India to outsource my blogging to. Note the new picture… Yogesh sent it as a prelude to the PowerPoint presentation he’s working on about himself (I got tired of explaining how little I know about him and that I’ve simply hired him from a company called Tasks For Today, in response to the countless hoards who’ve been emailing me questions). Anyway, without further ado, today Yogesh writes:

Are you bored of wearing your daily common used shoes? Than here is the change for you to be more stylish, especially at sea side. Wearing them you can scare anyone making them think about the footprints on the mud. This is going to amuse your children. Best of all, the funny toys site with dynamics imagination regarding the ‘DUCK FOOTPRINT TRAILN’ TRACKS’ has reasonable price to make you buy online. If you are fun loving person than give a look at this site.

The Shouting Vase

Is anything more enjoyable that shouting? No really, there’s a reason fun times are rarely cloaked in silence. Sadly, it’s not always appropriate to let out a holler, shriek, or wail. And for those moments there exists the shouting vase. Like a plunger for your mouth, built in Japan, and with a purpose, the shouting vase takes even your loudest yelps and condenses them into little more than a peep. Just $79 of our US dollars.

What will they think of next? And will we hear it when they do?

Smores At Home

Smores, so perfect – the peanut butter and jelly of the candy world – are nearly impossible to fabricate properly fabricate without the aid of a camp-fire… UNTIL NOW!

Meet the Progressive Microwave S’mores Maker. Just fill the base with water, stack your smores, lower the arms, and throw the whole thing in the microwave a few seconds. Booya! The graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate heat quickly and evenly, and nothing slips, drips, or slides before it’s meant to.

It lists at $6.99, but if you buy now on Amazon it’s only $6.95. That’s a savings of of $.04. 1% off!

The Hoverboard Is Up For Grabs

Yeah, and not just any hoverboard either. The hoverboard. The one a certain McFly used to thwart the easily thwartable Biff. It’s on eBay. So that’s the good news. The bad news is, the bidding starts at $30,000 and, though this is one of the very boards used in the movie, it doesn’t actually hover. Not even a little bit. Still looks like a good time though…

Truck-Doggle

Some trucks have gun racks… other’s have antlers.

I know which is more my speed.

Pair ‘em off with some sweet truck nuts and let ‘em know how you roll.

Measuring Your Output

I’m not really sure what to say about this, except that I want it, and my roommates don’t. Time to get new roommates. Maybe.

Here’s what the website had to say:

If for you performance is a lifestyle, if the numbers are obsessive in your life, then our toilet paper is made for you!

I wouldn’t say I’m “obsessed with numbers,” and performance isn’t really my strong suit, but it is pretty much the same color scheme as ZD. And at about $7.50, I dare you to find a better conversation piece for your commode.

PS: You do know everything on the site is clickable, right? That goes for images too.

The Whoa-Pogo

Remember when everything was extreme? Everything.

Everything was neon green, had three Xs in the middle, and wasn’t a product, it was a lifestyle choice. You know what I mean, even snacks had extreme flavor and somehow required that you wore a helmet. Anyway, one company wants to bring you back, and while I’m not entirely sure I want to go, it does look kinda fun.

I mean, if I were going to try to file a workers comp claim, I think step one would be convincing my boss I need one of these for office use.

Be the Alarm-Jock

This is either the best idea, or the worst: An alarm clock that needs 30 reps before it shuts off. Odds are I buy it, promise myself I’ll use it, and just learn to ignore it’s constant nagging. (Zinger.)

Luckily the Fred & Friends catalog has yet to set a price anyway.

Throw Away Camera

If you’ve been keeping up with the doggle, my love of photography will be nothing new. But a camera built into a shuttlecock that’s Wi-Fi connected to a cell phone? That’s straight-up revolutionary.

It looks like The Flee as it’s called, is still in prototyping phase, but once the thing hits the streets, you can bet your ass I’ll be first on line. Probably also first to lose it, but that’s another story. I’ll also be the first with shots of the inside of airplane’s plumbing, a POV view of a skyscraper jump, and many, many shots of myself from above.

On a side note, just try saying the word “shuttlecock” six times without smiling. “Shuttlecock, shuttlecock, shuttlecock, shuttlecock…” just failed again. See.

Cardboard Cat House

It’s not that I don’t like cats. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. Nothing. I just kinda wish they did more. So you can imagine how happy I was to receive this sweet link from friend of the doggle Bud. Combining two of my favorite things (paper-folds and felines), each folded cardboard cat playhouse comes packed flat for easy shipping, costs about $25, and, well, rocks my world.

Thanks Bud.
