Moai Statues (Easter Island) Ice Cube Tray

Well. The title says it all. Except for our eternal fascination for these odd Moai statues off the Chilean mainland. No one really knows their history, but now they can serve a reminder that...

..if something is odd enough, you can make a party theme out of it! Drinks are on! And now they're cool as well as trendy.

Waring® Popcorn Maker

If lack of counter top space
is no consideration in your place,
and shoving popcorn in you waiting face,
is in line with your daily pace

Then I would suggest to you
A device that takes its cue
From a larger point of view
This movie style of popper should do

Magnetter Espresso Key & Letter Holder

Ahem. Here we go again. This next gizmo is a perfect example of the rift that exists between the designers 'vision' and the owners reality. behold the magnet key and letter holder.

First and foremost. and interesting idea. But my life doesn't look like that.

For one thing my key ring has a car key on it, which would easily double it's size. For the most part my keys are sparser than most folks. For example, my wife's is an enormous glob of keys, fob and little extras that would surely never stick to this trendy warped board. No, we'd be putting an nasty old nail right in the center of this MDF beauty before the end of day one.

By the way, when did medium density fiberboard become a "touch of modernity?"

Additionally our mail tends to be about 7 times this amount, loaded with ginormous flyers, newspaper sized ads and a stack of bills 7 envelopes thick. Anyway, it may look fine in on the showroom floor or in the eye of some starving artists, but I doubt it has much use in the real world.

You'll notice that there are no reviews...

The Swimming Pool Bistro Set

Clearly I'm in the wrong business. Here someone is selling a patio set, that you place in your pool. The best part is that it retails at nearly one thousand dollars.


Am I missing something? Couldn't I put my forty-eight dollar set in the pool? Even if it rust and I have to replace it ten times. I've still spent less!
