A bargin at 10 times the price!!!!

Reviewer Comments: Sorry this story is so generic…. but you’ll understand.Somehow, an annoy-a-tron was placed on a light fixture near some evil co-workers. After hearing them whine about the beeping for several days one of the “evils” just happened to be under the light when it beeped. He reached up and smaked the light, the annoy-a-tron fell off and hit the floor. The guys looked at it and said “Oh my God!!! We’ve been bugged” They take it to the police who say, “it looks like a bug”. They call the (un-named state) B.I.. They look at it and say “yep, looks like a bug!” So they call the F.B.I.!!!! An agent comes down and looks at it and says, “Cool, where’d ya find the annoy-a-tron.”The Best [$] I’ve Ever Spent In My Life!!!!!!!

C++ shrunk my brain

Reviewer Comments: Clearly all that C++ code must have shrunk my head, because this hat is HUGE. No, really. It’s so large I had to buy a new SUV just to carry it around. The description says “not for big heads”, and “diameter is about 7inches”. I’m now fairly worried that ThinkGeek is staffed by zombies with oversized craniums. I’m probably a larger-than-average human, I wear a size “large”, but I can still pull this hat down over my face. Some would say that’s a good thing.

The head-hole diameter is actually about 8 inches. Go and get yourself a tape measure, stretch it out to 8″ and put it on top of your head (insert pr0n joke here). Now look closely. See how much of the measure sticks out over your large, simian like ears? Yep. That’s how big the hat is. But wait for it, that’s only the head hole (yeah, go on, you come up with the proper technical term).

The entire hat, edge to edge, is over 12″. Yes, 12″. One foot. So if you’d like to wear a foot on your head, this is the product for you.

By the way, in case I didn’t mention it, the hat is too large for normal humans. Shame, because it’s “awesome” in every other way.

More like Sweet ‘N Nasty mix

Reviewer Comments: This was the most unfortunate bag of sweets and salt I’ve ever happened across. In fact, if i wanted a similar experience, i’d be diving in the pacific ocean with a bag of sugar. It was stale, and over stimulating. I was distrought with disappointment, and cried for several minutes. alone.

Finally, a pet with a power switch…

Reviewer Comments: Are you tired of the way your Roomba simply scuttles away every time you try to show it some affection? Disappointed that your Robosapien only wants to dance and practice kung-fu? Unable to get near your RoboMower now that it has developed a taste for blood? Then perhaps you should consider a Pleo.

The thing about organic pets, they add a lot of complexity to your life. If you do much travel, you’ve either got to kennel them, leave them with friends, or put them into a state of suspended animation using your home Cryogenics lab (ThinkGeek Item #1138). That’s why more and more people are turning to robotic life forms such as the Pleo. Pleo uses a variety of sensors including sight, sound, tilt, shake, and touch to explore and interact with the environment. If your Pleo is too loud, you can mute her. Too needy, you can turn off her power or pull out her battery. Pleo never piddles on the carpet, won’t eat snacks that fall on the floor before you can reclaim them in the name of the “five second rule,” and almost never gets drunk and picks fights with your ex-robots.

On the down side, Pleo only gets about an hour of activity out of each battery cycle. The soft thermoplastic skin has a tendancy to develop wear patterns fairly quickly. With the originally-shipped software, the “unique personalities” promised by early product marketing weren’t really all that unique, but greater degrees of variance are promised with future updates to Pleo’s LifeOS.

Personally, I like my Pleo. My daughter loves the Pleo. Then again, she also loves the box Pleo came in, the foam peanuts that protected it in shipping, and cloth napkins tied in knots because they “look like bunnies,” so YMMV. My wife…well, she’s always been sort of anti-robot, ever since I made her watch “Cherry 2000.”

Anyway, if you own more than one RoboSapien, if you’ve ever realized you could speak fluent Furbish, or if you’ve ever tried to verbally coach your autonomous vaccum on more efficient cleaning patterns, perhaps you’d enjoy a Pleo.

Believe it or not…great T-shirt!

Reviewer Comments: If someone has to ask “What’s that on your shirt.” I tell them they’re too young to ask a question without addressing me as “Sir” and helping me across the street.

RPG Goodness

Reviewer Comments: Hug your friends and loved ones, and tell them good-bye. Lock your doors, shut the blinds and fire up Oblivion. The only drawback of this game is that it will make you a hermit. I’ve never played an RPG with such massive scale and depth. Words cannot describe or do this game justice. You don’t play it, you experience it.

Shoots further than other rubber bands.

Reviewer Comments: The great variety of sizes is helpful when shooting them at co-workers who may be 1, 2 or up to 5 cubicles away. This also allows you to choose what pain level to inflict. The large size is well within range of the drinking fountain.

Go to the salon!!!!

Reviewer Comments: Seriously, I NEVER write reviews of products. PLEASE listen to me when I say stay away from this stuff. I asked my 4 year old to tell me what color my hair is after using this product and he said “I love it it’s orange and black with white spots”.
Enough said.

I never knew toner could be like this

Reviewer Comments: Over the years I’ve become jaded about toner. Hit ‘print’, something comes out of the machine. No big deal. Yawn. Now, out of the blue, comes this toner cartridge and right from the get-go you can tell this is going to be different; this cartridge will last a while, it’ll be reliable, and it may even single-handedly plot a path toward world peace and a penant for the Tigers all at the same time. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a toner cartridge to be proud of.
