Hasta La Gadget!

When I was pregnant with my child, I remember reading that the medical profession had taken a very natural process, and made it more complicated by expecting us to lie on our backs to give birth. Now I’m reading that technology has altered the way we, um… well, you know and that the invention of the toilet changed our natural “elimination position” from squatting to sitting, and that’s just a very bad thing.

Check out Squatty Potty, meant to slide under, and to both sides of your existing toilet seat, this little stool-type gadget allows you to assume a more, shall we say, natural position, when using the toilet. So if you suffer from any potty problems, like constipation, hemorrhoids, colon, or even urinary issues and pelvic floor concerns, the Squatty Potty may be for you.

There seems to be some compelling evidence that the “western toilet” has given way to a whole myriad of toileting issues, and that the Squatty Potty can more properly align you and provide you with a much more comfortable, quick and complete elimination experience that you need  in order to maintain a happy healthy body.

So do I believe that our modern ways of doing natural things have become so contrived that they are hurting, rather than helping us? Probably. So will I try Squatty Potty? I’d like to say I don’t think so, if only to save you from the ensuing visual, but the truth is I don’t know. Will you? Squatty Potty is available from amazon.com for just under 35 bucks for the basic white model. They do come in different colors, including one constructed from bamboo. I’m just wondering what to do with all my magazines…

We all know how hard finding the perfect gift can be, I’m always on the lookout for the item that will wow the crowd, and of course the recipient. It gets more difficult as we get older, probably because we lose our lust for toys, and the mundane stuff we’re left with in terms of “grown-up” presents… well, they’re just not that much fun to give.

Until now, check out the Crib Dribbler, a super convenient, time saving baby feeder, designed to simply hang off the side of a crib in order to provide your child with proper nutrition any time of the day or night. With interchangeable tips, the unit is able to serve up formula, infant energy drinks, or even warm stew, leaving you free to do whatever you want! Giving your infant instant independence. At least that’s what the box says.

Okay, so it’s a box, and it’s brought to you by Prank Pack, these awesome (however empty) boxes are touting authentic looking, hilariously funny, but thankfully bogus products from fictitious companies hawking everything from “Bathe and Brew” a shower coffee maker and soap dispenser, to the delightfully evil “Extreme Chores” a wii type video game for your kids, that lets them do yard work, clean the cat box and wash dishes. Imagine the fun when on Christmas morning  your delightful child opens “Extreme Chores” (I’m just trying to decide when, and if, I should tell her it’s an iPad.) or the look on the ladies faces at your next obligatory baby shower when the mommy-to-be, opens the “Crib Dribbler”

Amazingly deceiving, and perfectly believable, these 11.25 x 9 x 3.25 boxes are sure to turn your next gift giving occasion into a heck of a good time. So if you want your next present to be the one that stands out from the crowd, (and is sure to be re-gifted) check out all the different Prank Packs available at amazon.com all for under 8 bucks! Someone should actually make the video game though… I’m just saying.

I guess there are a lot of reasons the adult entertainment industry flourishes all over the world, but I’m going way out on a limb here and guessing that the biggest reason is, well… men. Its no secret that boys like to look at girls in varying stages of undress since the beginning of time, and that wherever woman with little or no clothing are… wide eyed men are usually not far behind.

Well, now you can take the show on the road with the nifty Hitch Pole, the worlds first (okay, probably only) dancers pole that can be attached to the ball hitch of your truck or SUV. Made of hygienic stainless steel or highly polished brass, this 3 x 3 foot dance platform with 7 feet of useable pole can really get the party going in no time.

When mounted (dont even go there) the Hitch Pole is about 5 feet of the ground with a platform designed to withstand up to 200 pounds of jiggly flesh, now there’s a visual you’ll never get rid of. So if you want to add a little lechery to your next outing or parade the Hitch Pole might just be for you.

Sure, you could use the pole to work out, or play an extreme game of ring toss… oh who are we kidding? Trucks and naked women, probably enough said, but what the heck happened to the good ole days when a cooler and a portable grill was enough for a party? The Hitch Pole is available for around 450 bucks (more for the brass) in both 1.75 and 2 inch diameters from platinum stages.com Really? So now you’re telling me size matters?

Oh the joys of mans best friend, there’s something to be said about a creature that loves you so unconditionally. I’ve had a few dogs in my time and they were all special, and they all let me know they were fairly fond of me as well. I have to say that my daughter and husband were never as happy to see me as my dog. Sure, you might say it’s because the dog was waiting for food, and I might be inclined to believe that, but my family was always waiting for food as well! I really think my dog just loves me more.

I’ve never been one to humiliate my pup with boots, or coats, even during bad weather ,but there is one problem with our canine pals that had yet to be addressed, the way they smell when they’re wet! Sure, coming home from walking the dog with my hair all frizzy and my socks soaked through my shoes was bad enough, but when Fido sat down next to me shaking the rain off his fur all over my living room, and permeating the air with his pungent pooch-y aroma I knew there had to be a better way, and there is!

Welcome the Umbrella leash. This clear umbrella dome attaches easily to your dog’s collar, keeps your beloved buddy in full view, and properly protects them from the rain, sleet and snow. I have to say if your dog will allow it, its a much better option than one of those ridiculous plaid raincoats and it saves you from a living room that smells like a kennel, AND dirty towels. Just dont go out in the wind, you know, unless you have a really long leash.

The Umbrella Leash is under 20 bucks and is available from Amazon.com

Getting dumped sucks. It is safe to say that we have all experienced some sort of breakup in our lives. Maybe it was back in 3^rd grade or maybe it was yesterday. Some poor guy in Germany recently got dumped by his girlfriend. Rather than sulk he channeled his knowledge of lasers and created an Iron Man arm piece.

Patrick Priebe, German laser gadget guru, decided to spend 130 hours and $650 to build that same mechanical device that helps turn Tony Stark into the hottest super hero of the moment. Included in the Iron Man Gauntlet, as you see in the video below, are everything from the pop up motion of the laser to the distinctive red and gold casing. Also seen in the video is Priebe blasting some balloons with the two 1.2 watt blue lasers and two 4-miliwatt red lasers.  On his website you will find other creative laser (and non-laser) devices like a Pulse Laser Gun, a Wrist Bow and a Flame Glove. Why does he create such contraptions? Mainly out of boredom so it sounds. All is not lost however as he was able to sell the Iron Man Gauntlet for over $2600. Not bad for a project to kill time after a breakup.
