Charlie White — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 12:37:20 EDT

Fear not. This Halloween, let Fraidy Cat do it for you. This crazy kitty will mesmerize you with big green plastic crossed eyes, crouching on your windowsill at midnight, shivering and shaking, quivering and quaking, to the scary sounds of "Somebody's Watching Me." It's $15 at Walgreens.

Oh, my. Am I scared, or what? – Charlie White

Musical Condoms? WTF?

Charlie White — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 14:29:29 EDT

The picture tells the tale—that's right, it's a musical condom. Its tone varies with your position and intensity, but if you can keep it up with that tinkly little noise going on down there, you're a manlier man than I. Maybe it could be made to recite baseball scores to keep things going a little longer. – Charlie White

KUKU Alarm Clock Creates Nuisance Situation, Wakes You Up

Not that any of us would ever use such a thing, but here's the KUKU alarm clock from LeFutur, another one of those strange early-morning torture devices (similar to the puzzle clock) that requires you to perform some mundane task in order to rouse yourself from the depths of slumber.

At your pre-designated time, this annoying little thing starts making an odd crowing noise while laying five tiny eggs into a basket next to it. It's not going to stop making that racket until you put the five eggs back into its little receptacle on top. If one of those little eggs falls off the table and rolls under the bed, never to be seen again, well, we wouldn't blame you for smashing this oddly-colored little clock into tiny little pieces. It s $29.95.
