Go ahead. Try as you might. But there is a huge shade of skepticism now pulled over our eyes that you or anyone else could ever create a table hockey table cooler than this one. Come on! We dare you! Yeah, we just really want to see some awesome table hockey tables.

Straight from the mind of Graeme Patterson, the Hockey Organ has got to be the coolest used of a synth mod that we have ever seen. Using a Casio SK1 keyboard and a host of video cameras, each hockey player is controlled via a key on the keyboard (A=goalie, C#=right winger, so on and so forth).

I’m the type of guy who wears a suit and tie for a phone interview. I, for one, love getting dressed up. There’s something about a nice shirt and tie that just boosts my confidence up a notch. I just feel better in a suit. But there is surely (stop calling me Shirly) a huge chunk of you who despise the thought of donning a suit and designer slacks.

Maybe you just prefer more typically comfortable attire. A plain white undershirt and boxers are something you wouldn’t mind wearing to a dinner party. Lucky for you, you might just be able to get away with it now. These Dress for Dinner Napkins take the embarrassment of not being able to properly knot a tie and take the easy way out. A tie emblazoned napkin.

Do you have a dark and creepy basement, too much money and stupid friends?! Well then this is the chair for you! This chair doesn’t just look menacing, it actually will give you a bit of a shock. Which is the reason there are little straps for your legs. The site claims that there is little or no risk involved. However, those with pace makers and/or a brain might not want to push their luck on this one. I keep hoping that the whole thing is a simulation, but there is no way to actually confirm that on their site.

If you worry for the sanity of your precious lawn gnomes, please don’t continue reading. This is not for you. Your lawn ornaments will not be happy with this creepy addition to your greenery. Law enforcement might not be too happy with this either. There is sure to be some unwanted calls to the police about the corpse which is seemingly emerging from your garden.

The Garden Zombie is not for the faint of heart. It will scare the hell out all of the other doodads you have lying around your grass. Created by British artist Alan Dickinson for Toscano design, the Garden Zombie would be an awesome addition to your exterior decor for the Halloween season or just simply a way to scare those damn kids off your lawn.

Google Images connects us to the world we can’t see for ourselves. Just pop in a query for any location and BOOM! You’re whisked off into imagery heaven. Well, at least this works for most locations. But of course, if you live in a one-horse town, you’re going to have a tad bit more trouble finding relevant images for your location.

But hey, a man can dream. And when a man can dream, a man can create. Hence the “It’s A Google World” project, which allows you to print out a Google image page. When the proper spots are cut away literally any location becomes a Google Image page.

There’s something intriguing about bubble wrap. You can try and deny its simple allure, but there is no hiding from the addicting power of popping mini-bubbles just because they’re there and you can. One of the awesome things about receiving a package in the mail is the bubble wrap that ships with any fragile item. Come on, you have to admit you pop the wrap the second you have an inkling of free time.

And we don’t blame you at all. We do the same thing. We just wish we had an opportunity to pop some bubble wrap everyday. Even if only one bubble a day. We don’t want the novelty to become less fun. The Bubble Calender designed by Stephen Turbek provides one popping bubble every day. On each corresponding date there is a bubble in need of popping. It’s the same princliple as writing an “X” across the date square, just more fun.

The Bubble Calenders have a very simple design. With a stark white background and available in both horizontal and vertical versions, the calender certainly isn’t overtly flashy. But no matter. Most of the time it’s the most basic of actions which makes us the happiest.

It’s official. The world is gizmo-gadget obsessed. Even in gambling. I reckon it stands to reason that if you grow up in the digital age where everything is virtual and everyone has a password like they have a cellphone, it only stands to reason that, like newspapers before them, poker tables are rapidly going the way of the doo-doo. The Pokermate Table not only gives players touchscreen interfaces to use for game play and betting, it’s also yet another guard against card counters who seek a legal, but wholely frowned upon gaming advantage.

Even the manliest of men need to admit that they need food to survive. Preferably a nice juicy steak with a hot baked potato, but of course a slice of strawberry cheesecake would do. The point is that you can stock up on every tool in the catalog, but a nice pair of eating utensils is always an investment worth making.

Of course, with this outburst of industrial design influence, everything is being mixed and mashed into one beautiful product of productivity. These eating utensils are made for not only eating, but for crouching down for some butt-crack revealing plumbing, or even fixing a loose spark plug on your vehicle.
