“Picture the scene: a friend returns from some former Soviet republic clutching a bottle of vodka that’s supposedly been fermented in the nose cone of a MiG using Siberian snow flakes, before being bottled by one of Rasputin’s relatives in a former Cossack boot factory. How do you top that? No, you don’t admit defeat in the battle of vodka one-upmanship; you produce a bottle of Scorpion Vodka and make your gloating guest look sillier than Boris Yeltsin after a few lemonades. As you can see, Scorpion Vodka contains a walloping great scorpion. And it’s not just any old scorpion. This particular pickled arachnid has been specially bred in southern China and is totally safe to eat. So they tell us. The word is that each pincer-wielding beastie (infused in the vodka for three months before hitting the shelves) has undergone a special detoxifying process. This neutralizes the scorpion’s venom, making it 100% edible, tail n’ all!” w/ photos

“Is there any greater symbol of your love of coffee than 6″ tall, 10″ in diameter real porcelain cup perched on the edge of your desk or kitchen counter? While you should never drink 20 cups of coffee in one sitting, you can take comfort in knowing that the World’s Largest Coffee Cup could hold 20 regular cups. Of course, that’s only 19 cups if you leave room for cream.” w/ photos

“This is a re-creation of a retro product that used to be sold in the back of men’s magazines. The vintage imagery and text communicate hilariously outdated ideas about the importance of height in business and matters of love. Surely, we’re all beyond that now, but just in case we aren’t, these foam shoe inserts will add an inch to your height.” w/ photos

“You say potato, I say FIRE! Developed during the potato glut of the 1930s, this 6-1/2″ long classic spud shooter still works like a dream. Sticking the tip into a potato loads a starchy projectile in the chamber, then you just pump the gun and fire away! For the price of Yukon Gold you can have an all out potato blitzkrieg. This item is made of plastic and is probably street legal in Idaho, although we haven’t bothered to check.” w/ photos

“As you sit down for your morning coffee, have you ever considered sharing with the squirrels? Just pour a little hazelnut coffee into this 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ porcelain Squirrel Coffee Cup, set it down on your window ledge, and wait for a squirrel to come and enjoy it with you. It would also look incredibly cute in front of a hedgehog dressed as a tiny businessman.” w/ photos
