…and who are the siblings?
You’ve probably heard some variation of “Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.” Well, we’ve touched on technology you probably don’t need before, but in these troubled financial times, when some of us can’t even afford things we need, it’s nice to know there are lots of things out there you don’t even want. For instance, whether you’re a smoker or not, who would want to puff on an electronic cigarette? Well, maybe it would lend some cred to the same desperate nightclubber that would wear an “Iced Out” LED Belt Buckle
. And while all attention is riveted on their midriff message that screams “I’m a dork!“, you might not even notice that you’re laying down a nice rhythm track on their Electronic Drum Kit Shirt while you beat them senseless. On the home office front, maybe you could use a USB Hamster Wheel as a motivator (YouTube clip here ) . The faster you type, the faster it runs. Or if you’ve ever gone into a panic when software tells to you to “press any key to continue” and couldn’t find the “any” key, we have the Panic Button and Any Key
combo. And although rather limited in purpose, I can’t tell you how many times I would’ve been glad to have had a TV-B-Gone
on my keychain. With 209 turn-off codes, it should shut down most TV’s within 20 to 50 feet. Handy for white trash family arguments and easing the stress of talking to Best Buy sales staff.
