Dartboard Lets You Score a Boobie Bullseye

Charlie White — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 11:26:36 EST

Throwing darts has never been this fun. Not only do you get the satisfaction of hitting a bull's-eye if your aim is true, but as soon as you score, this supremely confident blond encourages you, crying out in ecstasy the inexplicable phrase, "Young girl, bull's-eyes! Wonderful!" Even though it is a bit misogynistic for our taste, it's just goofy enough to get a conversation going. Why didn't the creators of this groundbreaking invention depict a man with a bull's-eye on his crotch? Maybe that's next, with the hapless plastic victim blurting out the exclamation, "Old man, ballbuster! Blow it out your ass!" [Weird Asia News]

iPhone Countdown Calendar and Delivery Calculator

Pretty, huh?

I was thinking about how far away June 29th is for iPhone fans. So Jesus Diaz and I came up with this idea of a countdown calendar that you can cross off the dates on, as we inch toward launch. An idea is just an idea, though. All the design work you see above belongs to JD.

It also has second feature:

Part of me believes that there'll be a massive Wii-like drought, and only the diehard Mactards that wait in line overnight will get theirs on day 0. It's a long shot, but it could be. You can use this calendar as a calculator for when you'll get your iPhone. When I say calculator, I mean dart board.

Since the shortage is pure speculation, we leave the math up to the chance landing of a dart. Instead of monkeys, Gizmodo readers. Just throw a dart once, and come up with the month. Throw a second dart to come up with the day. Throw a third dart to come up with the time of day. Silly, I know.

If you're wondering, this dartboard's earlier incarnation was to be a guessing game for the iPhone launch date when it was unknown. Jesus Diaz IM'd me with a finished copy minutes after the first "June 29th" commercials aired. It was a little frustrating for the both of us, but we're happy enough sharing this work with you here.

At the very least, you can print it out and put it on your cubicle wall. – Brian Lam

Dartboard Wall Clock Not to be Confused with Foosball Wall Clock

Travis Hudson — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 16:30:58 EST

Kidding, there isn't actually a foosball wall clock, but that would be freaking awesome if it actually did exist. This dartboard wall clock will sit near and dear to the heart of any dart enthusiast. I would avoid hanging this up at a bar, though. Drunks will throw darts into anything, especially clocks that look identical to actual dartboards. $30. –Travis Hudson
