Charles Barkley calls himself a dumbass

May 12th, 2008

This is pretty funny. Charles Barkley’s co-host decided to play a joke on him by adding some words to the teleprompter Barkley was reading off of. This is exactly what happened to Ron Burgundy in Anchorman.

Crocheted chess set

May 11th, 2008

crocheted-chess-set-head

How awesome is this crocheted chess set? The board and all of the chess pieces are hand-dyed for maximum contrast during intense game play. Each chess pieces is hand-woven and then stuffed with wool and a wooden rod for support (because nobody likes a flimsy chess set).

The quality of this entire chess set is superb. And what’s even better is that the board serves as a carry case for all of the pieces. Just wrap it all up and carry it away like you were never there!

If you like this, you can buy it at Etsy for $200. But act fast because there’s only one.

See a better photo of this windbreaker here.

Oh wow, Jill Freedman was reunited with one of her subjects in a photograph almost 30 years after the photo was taken.

A brief history of cars crashing through walls on sitcoms. Hilarious.

Adium, the best chat client for Mac OS, is implementing Facebook Chat into their next release. AWESOME.

Bar stool economics aims to show how the US tax system and economy work. If you’re like and you don’t understand the whole tax thing, then this might clear it up. Maybe.

Doobybrain.com was linked on Guardian for introducing Jesus People. Cool. :)

ROFL!!!

Anvil pillow looks heavy but is actually soft and lightweight

Conduit Group makes an anvil pillow that plays around with the notion of something heavy being transformed into something extremely lightweight.

The only thing bad about it is that it costs $300. WHY?!

Spray paint pillows by STASH

May 11th, 2008

stash-pillow

GEARFUSE points me towards a great set of pillows made to look like spray paint cans.

The pillows were designed by STASH for his “Tools of the Trade” exhibition at the BAPE gallery in 2002. These pillows are 30 inches tall and 10 inches in diameter. Although there were four colors made for the exhibition, you can only buy the pillows in three colors — red, purple, and blue.

Price: $100. I want one.

LRG x Casio G-Shock DW6900

May 11th, 2008

lrg-g-shock

I absolutely love the color scheme used in the LRG x Casio collaboration for the G-Shock DW6900 watch. [via]

The watch is “super-limited” in the sense that there are only 500 of them worldwide. The watch comes with a metal carry case (as if you need it), iconic LRG details of panda and trees, and the usual G-Shock functions and specs.

lrg-g-shock-full-band

Turntable Lab is selling the watch for $250 but are currently waiting on it to be re-stocked. Man, if my wrist weren’t so skinny and if I just had $250 to blow, I’d totally get this. For now, it’s just eye-candy.

Turn a water bottle into a portable shower

shower-diffuser

The little contraption above is a Universal Shower Diffuser Saver, a nifty little device that transforms a standard water bottle into a portable shower. [via]

To use it, you simply screw it on like a bottle cap and then squeeze the water bottle to push the water out of the holes at the “shower head”. I’d imagine that this device would be great for camping out in the wilderness.

The Universal Shower Diffuser Saver comes in green and blue and costs approximately $50.
