No, not THOSE kinds of balls — it’s sports balls, or rather, onesies that make babies look like sports balls. Note: these do not make your baby throwable or bounceable, (bouncing baby boy?) but they are cute! Styles include footballs, soccer balls, tennis balls, basketballs, baseballs, and so on. Pretty cool stuff! Now if only I knew someone with a baby that could fit into a onesie…

This week’s item is equally parts weird and cool, if you’re of the geek kind. The Star Trek USS Enterprise Pizza Cutter looks pretty slick as well, and mmm, shiiiny. One wonders how much the inventors imbibed or otherwise ingested before thinking, “hey, that thing looks like a flying pizza cutter!”
For fans of all things Star Trek, and particularly of the USS Enterprise, there’s also this slick USS Enterprise Bottle Opener, also available from the purveyors of all funky things: amazon.
Weird Item of the Week: Underpants Bandages

We’ve long been fans of the quirky products created by Accoutrements, including their other bizarre bandages in themes such as bacon, macaroni and cheese, and mustaches. These underpants bandages deserve some kind of prize for oddity. Then again, wearing one’s drawers so they’re visible is quite the undying trend these days, much to the dismay of anyone over 40. So why not display these tidy tighty whities all over the body?
Suggestion to Accoutrements: make a bra bandage too, so they can be used to prevent tiny wardrobe malfunctions.
The Worst Valentines Day Gifts for 2012

Another one of those gift-giving holidays is upon us, so it’s happy fun time once again with our “worst Valentine’s Gifts of 2012″ post. Here are some that are bound to get you some nasty looks and cold shoulders. The best part is, all these things can be found on amazon, so why not go all out and buy them all? (If you are feeling really brave, that is.)
Midol sends quite a message to your lover/wife/soon-to-be-pissed-off female in your life. And what message is that, you ask? If you don’t know, then give some as a gift and watch what happens! (Then again, maybe it will be a welcome gift…)
This is another gift that sends a message loud and clear, such as, “honey, you could really stand to lose some weight. By the way, let’s see how much body fat you have too! I was extra thoughtful and got you this scale that weighs up to 400 pounds, so I know it will be good for you!” Note: You may end up with a black eye or slapped face if you use those words.
3. Fake Roses.
Nothing says I (don’t) care like some fake roses. Real roses are just so cliche, you know? Silk ones never die. Brown silk roses are especially attractive… not! Perhaps they’re just a bit better than no flowers or no gift, however.
4. Taxidermy Raccoon with Cracker Jacks

Any taxidermy item is pretty much in bad taste as a gift to just about anyone on earth. Unless you’re one of those people who likes these things, in which case, enjoy shopping!
5. A Mop
Nothing says “I love you (now go clean the house)” like a mop. It’s such a thoughtful gift.. you know, one of those gifts that keeps on giving (housework to someone other than you).
There you have it… happy shopping!
