The PoleRider (great name!) is a bicycle rickshaw with a mobile stripper pole in the back. It’s the mullet of bicycles- business in the front, party in the back. The PoleRider was engineered and built by a team of three professional industrial designers to withstand immense leverage loads without failing. Yes mom, that’s what that expensive industrial engineering degree is going towards- keeping strippers balanced. I’m sorry, I mean “pole dancer”. The stripcycle makes the rounds in NYC and you can rent it out by the hour complete with pole-dancing hottie for $300 for the first, $200 each additional.
For more information and maybe SFW, maybe NSFW non-nude pictures, depending where you work, head over to the PoleRider site.
Sometimes you need some light when you’re working on something but a flashlight is impractacle because you need to be able to use both hands to work. Sure you could use one of those miner headlamps that go over your forehead but do you really want to mess up your perfect hair? Me neither. That’s why the WristLight is a good idea. It’s basically just a bracelet of light. There are four LED lights inside the $10 light (only sold in pairs for $20), so not only is good for doing handiwork around the house, it’s also good for raves and parties. And for fixing stuff at raves and parties.

The world’s largest pinata was unveiled in Philadelphia last week for a promotion for Carnival Cruise lines. The six story tall pinata held over two tons of candy. It was so large that they need a wrecking ball to crack it open. What happened when they opened it to reveal 8000 pounds of candy goodness? Pandemonium as you’ll see in this video (or more appropriately: candy-monium)

Inflatahands are the largest giant inflatable hands out there. Football and college sports season is here now and when you’re cheering for your team, you have to either go big or go home. So why not go MASSIVE? Inflatahands make those puny foam #1 fingers look like a baby’s hand. There is a velcro strip on each finger and the palm so you can adjust the Inflatahands into any gesture you want from “we’re number 1″ to “the finger” to bullhorns to devil horns to gang signs to a peace sign to “the shocker”. Great for sporting events, concerts, parties, boating, or any kind of get-together!

The “N-Ice Rack Beer Pong Freezer Set” is the ultimate beer pong accessory (get it? N-Ice Rack? argh). The hollow triangle shaped rack is perfectly sized to hold ten 16 oz cups in perfect beer pong formation while keeping the beer ice cold with it’s freezable center. You fill the rack up with water, pop it in the freezer for a bit and you have an instant beer pong beer chiller. Ingenious! You can also use it as an ice cold shot holder.

It’s Halloween. You’re wearing a costume. You want to get drunk. It’s a pain the ass to keep having to take off your mask every time you want to take a drink. What to do? Why the skull beer funnel? Down an entire beer in seconds, while maintaining the spirit of Halloween. Because nothing says Halloween like guzzling beer from a plastic model of a dead guy’s head and spine.

There is nothing more useful in the world of geekery than Star Wars trivia and nunchuck skills. The Obsessed with Star Wars Electronic Trivia Book won’t help you become a ninja but it will stump you like Stormtrooper with his helmet on backwards (I don’t know what that means exactly either…and I just wrote it!) with 2,500 questions. The book has 150 color photographs and best of all- an electronic scoring module (which allows you to select questions by number or at random).
The book knows all, so if it’s asking you about Luke, Leia, and Han Solo, don’t go trying to pull a Cliff Clavin with “Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?” because the scoring module is like a mini-Yoda. This would make a great gift for any obsessed Star Wars fan.

Ok I know what I want for my birthday now… it’s a sit down driving arcade simulation game with dual beer keg taps. This $7000 arcade machine, the Octane 120 Beer Arcade, has a built in kegorator behind the seat to keep your beer icy cold. There’s a tap behind the seat for everyone watching your pure-awesomeness-in-motion driving skills to enjoy a brewski but the best part is the cupholder for the driver which has it’s own keg tap.
That’s right, you don’t even need to get up or even hold your cup while getting a beer refill. Now normally I don’t condone drinking and driving but in this case I’m encouraging it.
Oh and it also features an HD video projector, a 120” screen, a 5.1 sound system, 200 licensed games, and PS3 compatibility. But more importantly it holds two 5 gallon or one ½ barrel keg of beer. Unfortunately the beer is not included.
