Hasta La Gadget!

When you beam down to an alien planet, you want to make sure you have all of your gear. You also want to make sure you aren’t wearing a red shirt. The most important things are to have your phaser and tricorder with you. If you can’t have a tricorder, at least bring this tricorder messenger bag instead, and then pretend to use it like a tricorder.

This Star Trek Tricorder Replica Small Messenger Bag won’t scan for life forms, but it will keep your stuff all in one place in a comfortable to wear bag.

Wear it with a Star Trek costume or just everyday. It has a built in mirror and the bag measures 8.75″(H) x 6 “(W) x 2.75 “(L). Always have your tricorder with you. It’s just $39.99(USD) from Entertainment Earth, and ships this June. Pre-order yours today, so you can be ready to beam down and check out the alien environment as soon as possible.

ThinkGeek is showing off an interesting new product called the Laser-guided Tactical Necktie. It’s aimed at the man who has to wear a tie in the corporate warzone. The necktie goes around your neck like a normal tie, but has special features to help you get ahead in the office – and to torment kitties.

Up top, the tie has a D-loop where you can attach essentials like a grenade or maybe a can of squeeze cheese. Under that is a removable pouch with a buckle where you can keep matches for starting the fire you use to burn the place down next time your check is late.

Underneath that pouch is a molle system, which lets you hang more manly stuff, like bacon-wrapped bacon. The coolest part is the laser pointer in a removable pouch on the bottom. With that pointer, you can torment random kitties with the red dot of death or use the laser to burn out the retinas of your enemy in the cubicle next door.

Now to crush your dreams, this is one of those famous ThinkGeek April Fools’ Day pranks. To give you a bit of hope back, ThinkGeek has a history of making their prank products real – so you never know.

It would be awesome to have a best buddy like Jake from Adventure Time. Finn doesn’t know how lucky he is. Jake can shapeshift into anything. An umbrella to keep you dry, a Jake suit to give you some armor, even a neck pillow. Jake is the man. I mean, the dog.

Artist Felicia Rose offers this amazing neck pillow on her Etsy shop for just $35(USD). Jake is completely handmade from fleece with felt and embroidered accents. He is ready to be your best bud and go on amazing adventures with you.

He will keep your neck cozy while you relax, no matter where you are. I love this thing.
