Though I just now found it, there was a rebuttal posted on YouTube six days after your post, Happy Monkey.

I was all set to gripe about the inappropriateness of that last post in a non-NSFW thread...



...then I remembered I started this thread w/a post concerning menstrual cups, and thought "meh, chocolate dicks ain't so bad."

That's pretty cool. Although if I had it, I would be so anal I would have a hard time with the ship's name and number being off to the side like that all the time.

Sundae 05-29-2012 03:18 PM

Actually I will protest the fondant filled dildos in a thread not marked as NSFW..
Not appropriate to appear on your screen - given they are realistically moulded.

Can we have them switched to a NSFW thread please mods?

Guitar Pee Urinal Turns User Into A Music Whiz


Attachment 38926

Quote:

By Eric Pfeiffer

There's no denying it, this is a clear case of yellow journalism.

Billboard Brasil has created a new musically interactive urinal that strums guitar chords while someone goes to the bathroom. The Guitar Pee is designed to look like an actual electric guitar and plays a unique set of notes with each use.

In fact, it even records your musical output. CNET reports that once you've flushed, the urinal generates a personalized number, allowing listeners to stream the user-generated content from the Guitar Pee website.

The novelty instrument apparently was created as a tie-in with the company's marketing slogan, "Music. We know it comes from everywhere," and will be featured in bars across San Paolo.

The Guitar Pee is actually not the first attempt to create a more interactive bathroom experience.

In April, Sega Games unveiled the Toylet, a urinal that offers users a video game distraction while going to the bathroom. The Toylet isn't cheap, reportedly costing $1,748 for each urinal and more than $100 for each individual game."

While it's technically not quite as portable, we're guessing most gamers will stick with their Nintendo Wii.

Wait, seriously, it's got an electric cable running into it. I'm not pissing into that. :shock:

Flip-flop-selling vending machines??? Twenty fucking bucks? For flip-flops?????

I believe you can buy panties from a machine in Japan.

There's not much more likely to get stuck in a vending machine than flip-flops.

xoxoxoBruce 06-09-2012 04:00 AM

They're shrink wrapped so they shouldn't get hung up any worse than anything else... the shoes, not the used panties.

Sundae 06-10-2012 07:16 AM

I bought a pair of flipflops from The Pound Shop last year.
Well actually Mum bought them, to go to and from the shower block when we were on holiday.
I am still wearing them and she borrows them when she goes to have her toenails painted.

So by my reckoning, $20 flip flops better last me 13 years at current exchange rates...

Not knocking fancy footwear (anything over £10 is fancy for me).
I take a UK size 6, feel free to send me all kinds of expensive flip flops for my 40th birthday. 1st July dontcha know.

Or used underwear of course ;)

monster 06-10-2012 09:13 AM

I used to baulk at spending more than a couple of bucks on flip-flops, but after I scored a really good pair on clearance and now I wear them all the time, I can't go back to the cheapies. My good pair just wore out and the only replacements I could find were $15 crocs brand. Near killed me to buy them........ but i know I wont slip on deck and they have great arch and heel support. So comfy. And not likely to break at an inopportune moment.

wolf 06-11-2012 11:35 AM

Teva makes awesome flip-flops, monster, if you want to shy away from the Crocs.

monster 06-11-2012 07:01 PM

Hm, thanks, I just looked them up and the ones that might do what I need them to do on deck were $60 and up! :eek: figures.... :lol:

Sales of ‘wet dog’ perfume soar
Quote:

A canine-inspired scent for humans has proved an unlikely hit online.

Eau de Mutt, which replicates the scent of a dog's coat when wet, has become an unlikely bestseller online.
<snip>
Scotland-based company Moggy, who are responsible for manufacturing the Eau de Mutt,
believe that the success of the product is down to how dog-obsessed consumers have become.

Priced at the barkgainous sum of £15 for 50ml, celebrity perfumers such as Katy Perry and Britney Spears
could soon see their glamorous, sickly-sweet scents pushed out of the market.

I'm guessing it's more of a revenge tool. You know, Great Aunt Sadie pisses you off...soak her bed linens in Eau de Mutt.

Don't forget the linen closet.

Ever have a sudden urge for crisp-crusted, ooey-gooey, cheesy pizza? You want it STAT. Not in the time it takes to preheat the oven to 500 degrees for a frozen pizza. Not in the 20 minutes it takes for the pizza delivery guy to arrive. And certainly not in however many hours it would take to make homemade dough and marinara sauce.

Get ready for Let's Pizza, a pizza vending machine that promises to deliver a piping hot pizza pie made from scratch in less than three minutes.

The brainchild of Italian entrepreneur Claudio Torghel, the machine will be distributed by A1 Concepts, based out of the Netherlands. It's expected to hit our shores later this year, according to the industry website Pizza Marketplace. The company is expected to set up its U.S. headquarters in Atlanta.

What is remarkable about the new machine is that it truly makes pizzas to order, including kneading and rolling out the dough. (The above video says the leavening takes place in a blistering hot infra-red oven.) There are more than 200 toppings from which to choose. The machine can even accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions, such as those for vegetarian and Kosher diets.

"Let's Pizza is a huge success in Europe and especially in Italy. That was proof for us that we have a very good pizza," A1 Concepts Chief Executive Ronald Rammer told Pizza Marketplace.

The pizza arrives in an insulated take-away box. The machine takes cash and credit cards. A 10-inch pizza will sell for about $5.95.

Rammer said Americans could expect to see the new machines at malls, airports, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, universities, gas stations and bus stations.

But perhaps the single best thing about Let's Pizza, according to the above video? The lack of the human touch.

At several points in the above presentation, the makers stress cleanliness: Your "healthy and genuine pizza" is "untouched by human hands" and made in a "human-free environment."

That would sound a little bit weird ... if we weren't drooling over the notion of piping hot pizza made from scratch.
Via the LA Times. TOTALLY beats a flip-flop machine.

I can't imagine it being any worse than Dominos or Pizza Hut or Papa Johns, and potentially way tastier (or at least more convenient than less-tasty). Better topping selection, and fuckin' INSTANT as HELL.

wolf 06-17-2012 12:42 PM

Unless the pizza vending machine is located right outside your door, commercial delivery pizza wins. I don't want to drive to get substandard pizza.

I first noticed this by it's title on Craig's List:

Chainsaw wench - $550 (myrtle creek)

But despite the mis-spelling, it looks like a neat tool...

I've seen those before.

If it has the necessary gear reduction, it could be quite handy.

If it were the iRolly it would sell, but Sony lacks the religious adherents.

I think you're wrong, BigV, and here's why:

They are not socks made for wearing under sandals. They are socks made to look like sandles with socks underneath.

ZenGum 08-22-2012 09:57 PM

But that means they are, primarily, socks. Within the category of socks, they are modified as being sandal-like.

In English, the chief category goes at the end, and modifiers get stacked in front. I wear blue pants, not pants blue.

I think these are sandal socks.

Or sandal-look socks.

Or maybe we should just call them "nerd feet" and be done with it.

infinite monkey 08-22-2012 10:21 PM

We will have to agree to disagree. :lol:

In product, ingredient lists, we in the US know the first ingredient is the main component.

The most important role for a sock to be is to be a sock that conforms to your sock needs. Oh. You're wearing sandles? These socks will be virtually unnoticeable.
