Ramen Spoon Fork

I understand how a spork wouldn't be too useful in the case of Ramen noodles, but this thing? It looks like it could do some real damage to your mouth. Maybe I'm just jaded since I've always had both a fork and a spoon that I could at least wash then use. I'll pass, but if you have the ability to unhinge your jaws OR your mouth is really tiny, you can get the Ramen spoon/fork from the MoMA Store for $12.00 ($10.80 for members. You can really spark up some conversation by pairing it with your Chat Plates.

Smooshed Doormat - I'll Be Sad If I Want!

This brings back a not so pleasant memory of when I almost hit a little bunny on my way home a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I didn't, but boy was I scared. I literally stopped my car and waited, praying that little bunny ran free, safely. The jerk behind me was trying to get around me which got me pretty worked up thinking he might hit the bunny, wherever he happened to to be hopping around. If only my horn was working at the moment I would have blared his ear drums out. Nobody messes with my bunnies! Not even me! Yeah, I was pretty consumed with that almost-bunny-tragedy.

I don't find road kill amusing in any way. Obviously I was very emotional over that bunny alone. But I found this series a bit curious. Koala bear? Is that really a problem down in Australia? Anyways, Brazilian artist Anderson Horta attempts to down play the drama of the death of a family pet by confronting us with images of once so cute roadkill. Psht. Nobody is going to tell me I can't mourn my pet's death. They're a part of the family! Sometimes they're even more likable than anyone you're related to. Why shouldn't I be sad?!

UtiliTILE: Forked Up

Here's an interesting way to store your silverware if you don't have a lot of room to spare. This lacquered wall tile has already cut slots to fit all of your utensils, leaving your kitchen walls looking a bit like a rage target. Don't worry, you won't need to explain anything. As soon as your guests see this set up, they'll make sure to keep their mouthes shut. And don't worry about your spoons slipping out to go take off with the dish. Magnets hold the utensils in place.

I like the idea of leaving my guests guessing just how crazy I am. But what happens when I invite someone over who's more of a nut case than myself? Hopefully they'll be a lazy nut (like a chestnut, perhaps) and won't want to help me do the dishes by hurling all my kitchen accessories at the wall. I'd greatly appreciate that.

The UtiliTILE: Forked Up is available in both white and natural for $300.00. If you're good for it, head on over to DesignPublic.

Duck Hunt Nintendo Zapper Lamp

Here's an even cooler-than-usual post by Craftster fluffypants. Using a gutted Nintendo Zapper she made quite the lamp leaving any retro gamer green with nostalgia. That makes you green, right? I think we can all agree that Duck Hunt is to Nintendo Zapper as peas is to carrots, she too found it only appropriate to stick with a Duck Hunt theme using the game cartridge itself as a base for the lamp. After finding a cheap shade, she used tediously cut fun foam to reenact the game. And yes, that is a real and working lamp.

Well done, fluffypants! I hope your vision inspires many crafty gamers to make a many Nintendo Zapper lamps of their own.

Steampunk Computer - I Just Drooled A Little

Oh my goodness, THAT is a beautiful machine. I tip my very Victorian styled hat to you Jake Von Slatt, Steampunk visioneer. With a computer designed to look like a Victorian era theater stage, watching a movie on your monitor would be a whole new experience. Now how on earth does one even start a project like this? Well for one, the frame of the monitor was originally a Victorian knick-knack shelf. As for where all the computer components are hiding, I do not know. What I do know is everything about this is perfect. I mean, except for one thing: it's not mine. Sorry folks, it's not for sale either.

Facebook IRL

This video really shows just how ridiculous Facebook is. Would we really be that obnoxious in real life? Could we be? At this rate we seem to think it's appropriate via internet, so what's stopping us? Yeah, I'm rapidly losing faith in the general public. If anyone dares to talk to me like that on the street you can expect my fist to your stomach.
