My local shop has one of those mini guns. I don't know if the owner has ever taken it out to the field, though. I would love to see him fire it up from one of the lookout towers.

the pool rock climbing wall is pretty cool, But I'll bet the insurance for the thing has got to be insane. Just having a diving board makes your insurance skyrocket.

half that shiat is way overpriced.

Rather spend my money on something like this:

casual disregard: I'm looking at my desk, and there's a glass sitting on top of the desk. The glass contains a drink which I have placed inside of it. I think my desk is doing a fine job of propping up this glass without the aid of a cupholder.

It's simply not made for your specific needs. This is a cup holder, not a glass holder.

Snargi: The flying superheroes are cool but I'd rather freak out people at the park with a flying cat.

And they left one thing out of the list. A few years ago Sharper Image was selling a full size Alien statue (7' 7'') for about $5,000. Other places sell them now. What better to greet your guests in the foyer.

Does it hold a try full of beverages?

I think it would be a lot cheaper to buy your own arcade machine and instal a bear tap.

D_Evans45: Jon iz teh kewl: DON'T SMOKE CIGARETTES, JUST MARIJUANA

that's akin to saying "don't have sex, just kiddy rape"


What kind of rationalization is that? Tobacco is a poisonous leaf that causes cancer + blood pressure elevation, comes in 20-40 convenient death sticks a day, all that awesome odor associated with smokers, the tar teeth and yellow fingers, for no real buzz. To look cool maybe? (Why do people smoke tobacco again?)

Cannabis is a harmless relaxant and extremely versatile medicine with anti cancer properties. "Whoa, dude, what?" stereotype aside, cannabinoids present in "marijuana" (what an ugly name for the cannabis plant and flower) can actually INHIBIT cancer growth, and we all know the extreme benefits of cannabis use in appetite stimulation for chemo patients who otherwise can't eat, excellent sleep aid for people with sleep disorders, glaucoma, pain relief, anxiety, depression, alcohol step down tool, etc.

I mean, "Oh noes he's smoking that happy plant that relaxes him, lets put him in jail and throw away the key!"

Don't forget the anti-nausea benefits. My bad heart, or perhaps some of the meds I take for the heart, gives me frequent nausea. The docs gave me these horrid pills with nasty side-effects that cost $10 apiece, normally given to chemo patients. Guess what works better and faster, costs less, and has far fewer (and more pleasant) side-effects?

It would. It would also be even cheaper to build your own MAME machine and beer tap.

I have a use for it, but I'm not paying 20 bucks for it. I might just make one from a C-Clamp, a 2 dollar car cup holder, and some bond-o.

Bear tap would probably be expensive, especially if you have to supply your own bears.

I'd have either. The only change I would make to the beercade would be move the tap up a bit so the little kids can't get to it. Not that they'd drink it, they would just have a good time dumping Daddy's beer.

Last time I checked, getting random SNES cartridge images running on a Nintendo DS was decidedly non-trivial. With this thing, just use your old cartridges or use a flash cart.

How does the felt work with the transparent pool table? I mean, you can't play pool on plexiglas.

LaughingRadish: Last time I checked, getting random SNES cartridge images running on a Nintendo DS was decidedly non-trivial. With this thing, just use your old cartridges or use a flash cart.

The DS has a port for GBA:SP cartridges, which have duplicated practically every title that came out on the Nintendo or Super Nintendo. Plus, it plays DS games.

How is that ashtray "Art Deco"? Bauhaus or brutalist even, maybe, if it's poured concrete.

JohnAnnArbor: How does the felt work with the transparent pool table? I mean, you can't play pool on plexiglas.

It's actually a softer transparent plastic material they've scored to give it the same rolling properties as a medium speed felt table. Watch the video on their website.

I'm not sure it's worth 46 grand, but it's cool as farking hell. Of course, my friends are all drunks, so they'd immediately scratch the surface and I'll bet a new top for one of those is about 10 grand.

if it's soo bloody harmless why do i get baker acted every time i smoke


If you have a pre-existing mental condition, it's a sad fact but you really should just avoid all intoxicants period, from cannabis to booze to hard drugs. Not just cannabis, they can all potentiate mental illness, they are all playing on your brain chemistry after all. I noticed as a youngster that the local bum who bought the minors our booze would start talking to an imaginary character after a couple tallcans, and would become severely paranoid on the occasion we shared some pot with him. I can drink a fifth of vodka and smoke until the cows come home and never experience any Baker act shiat myself, and I am a mild bipolar. Let me tell you, cannabis is a tremendous assistant for dealing with my bipolarity when it does occur. Where my mind frame sort of shifts and my sober self might possibly mouth off when the bipolar comes on (always seems to happen to me when I can possibly say something hurtful to a loved one/friend/boss, horrible timing), the calmer me subconsciously pulls split second "Calm down, d_evans45, take a deep breath and think about what's about to come out of your mouth." It's been a damn lifesaver in some situations.

This list is basically The Awesomer condensed.

MmmmBacon: I'd think Paris Hilton should be on this list, but they said it had to be awesome, too.

I believe the word you are looking for is "tawdry."

I like the little fridge. I can see it being a nice piece of furniture in a dorm room, a room in a B&B or a room in a hotel.

The price of that transparent pool table boggles me. I think I could round up a friend or two and build them for less than that.

/Don't worry, I'm good

I've never tried weed, although I've had plenty of friends who did and they tried to get me to give it a chance. I was raised pretty straight edge, but then I moved out and formed my own opinions. People that smoke don't bother me and I certainly think it should be legal, but I don't know that I'd try it myself. Maybe some day. It's a rare occasion for me to even have a drink.

Also, 3-4 bones for an ounce of sweet pipe tobacco vs, what...150 for pot? That's a pretty big investment. Finally, pipe smoke smells great and I don't particularly like the smell of pot.
