Transformers Zippo Lighter Makes Us Want to Smoke

Haroon Malik — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 12:16:00 EDT

The Japanese have all the fun. Just checkout these limited edition Zippo lighters. Embellished with a super hot Transformers design, only 300 will be made, all of which will be allocated to the Land of the Rising Sun. Each Zippo carries its own unique identifier number, and they will be available in either black or silver, which are both equally as fabulous. Retailing at around 12,000 yen, there really has never been such a good reason to take up smoking. [desinformado via Akihabara]

As any six-year-old can tell you, there ain't nothing funnier than toilet humor. This toilet lighter is sure to impress your nephew, if not any women your own age, with its hilarious combo of a lighter and a tiny toilet. It might be an awkward shape that won't fit well in your pocket, but it's shaped like a toilet! How can you go wrong? Also, happy Friday, everyone. [Product Page via Nerd Approved]

If only this were full-sized, it would make for the best pranks.
"John, toss me the extinguisher!"
"Don't be a hero."
"I wasn't put on this earth to sit in a cubicle all day...tell my kids I love them."
"Don't!"
"I need to - get the hell out of here while you still can."
"Ok, here's the extinguisher...good luck in there."
(beat)
"Ahhh! WTF! This thing is shooting out fire!! FIRE!!! HELP!!!!"
"They say you fight fire with fire!"
"I just burned a puppy alive you maniac!" – Mark Wilson

Belt Lighter, Like a Cancer Inducing Batman Utility Belt

Travis Hudson — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 12:42:45 EDT

Sometimes the simplest ideas end up being the most convenient. The buckle on this belt is actually a removable lighter. I highly doubt this one will get through airport security, but if you aren't trying to fly, then there is no worry about misplacing that lighter ever again. We don't need no water, let the motha' f'er burn (for $26). – Travis Hudson

Flight-Approved Zippo Container

Travis Hudson — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 17:08:12 EDT

It's happened to the best of us. You pack away your limited edition Van Halen 1991 Tour Zippo in your checked baggage for a flight and arrive at your destination to find it missing. Those airline security scum stole it for their own collection and used a technicality to get it. Unfortunately, they are right. Fueled Zippos are not able to fly unless in an approved container, even in checked luggage. The Otterbox CargoCase is a cheap way to make sure your prized Zippos never get stolen. It is waterproof and airline-approved for checked luggage. Also, it is pretty cheap, $12.95 from Otterbox directly. They may have Van Halen, but now they will never get my White Snake Zippo! – Travis Hudson
