Yes, here comes the lameness in pretty much the funkiest way of saying that something will give you a four hour energy boost I've seen in a while:

Blood Energy Potion is packed with iron, protein and electrolytes, providing up to four hours of energy. This blood drink features the same color, consistency and tactile experience of real blood, quelling those otherworldly cravings that polite mortal society frowns upon. It is important to understand that Blood Energy Potion is not a treatment for Vampirism, but regular use may help control certain symptoms of Bloodlust, including:

• Unquenchable thirst
• Irritability
• Restlessness
• Inability to control behavior
• Insomnia
• Brutal, violent attacks
• Homicide

Odd choice of advertising aside, his creepy goop is now available for $3.99 a shot (less than the six buckeroos we previously thought) and I, for one, am gonna try it out just to see if it'll quell those homicidal urges. [Living With Bloodlust]

Lameness/creepiness aside, this is actually slightly cooler than drinking Dungeons & Dragons.

The Coffin Couch, priced at a moderate $3,500, is the absolute most practical way to pretend that you sleep in the box of a dead man. While she'll appreciate seeing your reanimated body sleep lifelessly in its eternal non-slumber, you'll enjoy the foam and metal spring cushion that can be upholstered in purple, red, or black. Don't seduce vampire fetishists just to let your back go to shit. Invest in the quality tools necessary to complete the job.

Also, be sure to pick up lots of cherry Kool-Aid. If she points out that it's thin, just say that you drink skim to watch your figure. [Etsy via boingboing]

• Creepy-looking cross.
• Bible.
• Hand gun and silver bullets.
• Holy oils.
• Holy water.
• Mirrors.
• Candles.
• Garlic.
• Badass wood and metal stake with added cross for vampiric extra-pain.
• Extra wood stakes, just in case.

The 19th century vampire killing kit was sold in an auction as part of the Jimmy Pippen estate, which shows that the aforementioned Jimmy Pippen was a either a complete nutcase or knew something that we don't. Just in case, I'm making one myself. [Antiqueandthearts via Dark Roasted Blend]

The new system is being developed from a technology created at Johns Hopkins called Nanex. It uses a nano-fiber structure that replicates bone marrow, which is where red cells are manufactured. While their objective is to have a machine that could be moved to any camp and produce RBC units ready to be infused in wounded soldiers, and thus avoiding transportation and storage of blood, this research will obviously have important implications for everyone. Until then, maybe you can do a good action and donate some of your blood today. Or at least, buy a vampire a drink. [Cnet]

And you can buy it from ebay
For a bunch more days,
Just to get hold of it yourself.
It's the Model 666, it's the Model 666,
With a crucifix, with a crucifix.

This kit (which can fetch up to $12,000 at auction) has among other fun implements, "an efficient pistol," "a quantity of bullets of the finest silver," a "wooden stake (oak)," holy water and "Professor Blomberg's New Serum."

Table of Malcontents wonders about the "New Serum" but I bet it's just like an early version of the serum Blade uses to explode vampire heads in the first movie. If so, this kit's totally worth every penny. Besides, can you really put a price on protecting yourself from vampires? – Matt Buchanan

DVD Players, battery chargers, and game consoles are culprits of having standby modes that draw power when not in full use. This recently introduced bill requires electronic makers to label their devices to show how much power is being drawn when in standby mode. Pretty useful information that all of us gadget fans could benefit from.

At a press conference before the Assembly vote, Levine had a large table festooned with electronic devices — cell phones, Play Station controls, a toothbrush, Tivo, a stereo system. Cloves of garlic were scattered among the devices.

Only in California. – Jason Chen

Otherwise, what you have here is a vampire killing kit complete with stakes, a few crosses, a bible "USED TO READ THE GOSPEL OVER CHILDRENS HEADS AS A REMEDY AGAINST ATTACKS AND ALSO FOR EXORCISM" and some glass vials for mixing potions and remedies. You could also dig through your neighbors trash for most of this stuff, but why bother when its all right here in an easy-to-carry case.

Extra points for the poster's strange assertion that there is "NO TATTOO HERE" in the post heading.
