Jeep Bed Blueprints Will Have You Counting Sheep in Your Jeep

Not to sound like an old man or anything, but when I was young you had a mattress and a frame to rest it on. We didn’t need anything fancy. Kids nowadays. Bah. They can sleep on anything they want. Like this Jeep Wrangler.

Count sheep while you sleep in your Jeep, while not far away, the boogeyman creeps. Kids will be dreaming of some off-road fun when they sleep in this bed. Etsy seller Jeepbed will sell you a template for $29.95(USD) that provides step-by-step instructions for you to make this bed. It should cost about $250 in materials – plus an ample dose of your time and effort to build one.

Just make sure the brakes are on. And don’t put junior to sleep outdoors near a hill. That could be dangerous.

Paul Michael Design makes so many awesome geek rings that we can’t believe he is still coming out with fresh neat stuff. Check out his new X-Wing ring and a new TIE Fighter ring. If the couple wears one of each, they will surely be ready for a long engagement. Hopefully, not in space, with lasers.

The colors on the X-Wing version are pretty stunning. It reminds you to stay on target, even if you get cold feet. The TIE Fighter ring is symbolic of the long flight down the trench, chasing that X-Wing, only to crash and burn.

I kid. I kid. Marriage is cool. Almost as cool as these rings.

Adventure Time Grass Sword Replica: I’m Cool with That

If you watch Adventure Time, you know that Finn the Human has a cool sword made of grass. When he got it, he could not get it off his arm. The grass just wrapped itself around his hand. It was a trap set by the Grassy Wizard. Here is a real life prop of the sword that looks just as cool.

It may have been a trap, but it was a real kick butt sword, so Finn just said, “You know what? I think I’m cool with that.” Sometimes when you have a totally awesome sword, you just have to accept its quirks.

Crochet Amigurumi Stuffed Tauntaun: Soft Hoth

This adorable crocheted Tauntaun will be a great addition to your other plush Star Wars toys. He will look great on your shelf, your couch, in your bed or wherever. He isn’t big enough to cut open if you are facing bitter cold temps though. Which is good, considering the smell.

Game Of Gnomes: Throne of a Thousand Shovels

Garden gnomes are supposed to protect your garden. So what kind of gnome do you trust with the job? One of those happy gnomes you see everywhere or a gnome that knows how to play the Game of Gnomes? I trust the latter.

Your garden will be safe with Ned Bark guarding it. He is Lord of the North of Grassteros and sits on the Throne of a Thousand Shovels in King’s Lawnding. In the Game of Gnomes you grow or you die, there is no middle ground.

Doctor Who Doctors Playing Poker

We’ve all seen the famous Dogs Playing Poker paintings. The Doctors Playing Poker version is soooo much better. It is the work of artist SugarHappyJax, who should really write for the show. I would have totally watched this episode.

It shows the 4th, 9th, 10th and 11th Doctors all playing a game of poker with a Cyberman, a Dalek and the Master (Anthony Ainley version). It has a lot of nice details, like Van Gogh’s exploding TARDIS painting, playing cards with K-9 on the back, the fez, even the crack in time.

This painting is well worth the $500(USD) asking price.
