You can pack your 2-wheeled carry-on and pull it through the airport,
switching arms, as you drag the bag all the way from your cab to
check-in, up the escalator to the tram, through your terminal and bag
inspection, and up and down the maze of halls to your gate. But, I’m
taking my Kick Scooter Luggage.
Some multi-purpose things have a lot of alternate uses, and pretty good ones, too, like the shopping bag that doubles as a helmet. Then there’s Nendo’s Rootote Bag, which has a more novel second use, apart from being a bag, it’s also a puppet show.
These bags with puppets, with puppets like kangaroos, bears, humans, and dinosaurs, are a concept design by Oki Sato. Unexpectedly, there are many uses that an adult might have with an integrated puppet. For one, it’s instant entertainment for the kids and will keep them quiet, at least for a little while.
Another use for it, although pretty unconventional, is as a glove–so when you spot something you’d rather not touch, well, you can just stick your hand in the puppet and use it as you would a glove (but make sure to wash it thoroughly afterwards.)
If you’re sold on the idea, then you might have to wait a while because they’re not being commercially produced yet.

Are you sick and tired of having to throw a tennis ball for your dog, just to have him bring it back to you in almost no time at all? If that is an accurate description of you, read on. You weigh more than the average person for your height, enjoy pizza, and live in a single bedroom apartment. “Wow, you’re good.” They don’t pay me for nothing! Scratch that – I meant to say “they pay me nothing” but it came out funny.
The Hyperdog Tennis Ball Launcher is a great way to shoot balls far off enough that you will be able to take a quick bite of that delicious foot-long hot dog with relish. “How do you know all this about me?” I peep through your windows when you shower while I watch TV.
The Hyperdog Tennis Ball Launcher shoots tennis balls up to 220 feet away! But you know advertising – the “up to” number was attained with some strange malarky involving steroids, speedos, and a convenient wind pattern.
Just load up the ammo, pull back the surgical-tubing-lined slingshot piece, and boom! Let ‘er fly! Right into your neighbor’s window. That’s when you’ll be glad you bought those really expensive Air Yeezy’s walk barefoot like a nomad and can run with the breeze between your bunion-filled toes.
Of course, there are tons of alternative uses that I think are more fun than the old “play fetch with a dog.” You could play fetch with your neighbors! And by “fetch,” I mean you sit up in a tree and try to nail them between the eyes at their annual neighborhood barbecue. That’ll teach them not to invite me to social occasions. *Knocks down another guest*
If you like this tennis ball launcher, be sure to check out the more dangerous handgun drill and the less dangerous banana gun. I’m feeling a bit violent today, especially after that great session of P90X. I feel like the great Liam Neeson from Taken! WHERE IS SHE?
Note that every link in this post goes to something gun-related. I support the right for bears to have arms, since armless bears make me cry bitter tears. Bitter, bitter tears.

For those addicted to the HBO hit series "Game of Thrones," could you
imagine if those vying for the thrones of the Seven Kingdoms were
competing with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney on today’s
political landscape. The Mother Jones
news team postulates how today’s dirty politics might be played out if
Daenerys Targaryen, Jeffrey Baratheon and Robb Stark were added to the presidential race in contention for leader of the free world.
In an ingenious TV commercial that we’re sure Don Draper would have
approved, British Airways is utilizing the distribution channels of
Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to extend their rallying cry for a "Home
Advantage" at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Zarathustra ran for President of Russia. Hank is running for Senator in Virginia. Two cats, worlds apart, but both political, and both sworn to do good for the world, no matter what.
CBS is presenting a first for network TV; a dog whisperer straight from
New York City, a Manhattan-based professional ‘dog-guru,’ who visits
homes with dog problems just like cable stars Cesar Milan and Victoria
Stilwell. His name is Justin Silver, he’s self-taught, and he’s all New
Yorker!
