I was raised on the (Sesame) street!

I found these online. They are freaking amazing. They are made of duct tape. The best duct tape wallets ever! I really want to buy one, but I can't decided between Elmo or the Cookie Monster. Whilst Elmo is my favorite, the cookie monster one is really cool! Anyways, I shall eventually make up my mind and place my order. Until then, I will continue using my Hello Kitty wallet!
You can purchase them here.

Are you lonely at night?

I was youtubing last night, mostly for videos of bands and all that. I was looking for a Gym Class Heroes interview (don't ask) when I came across a very interesting video of Eric and Disashi advertising a very unique product. It blew me away and immediately made me think of Vanilla Bear! I researched this and it is amazing. I want to buy one for all of my friends, but alas I am poor, so all I can do is share the picture with you all, but I hope you thoroughly enjoy.

I present to you:
The My Guy Pillow!

  • He is always there when you need him
  • He never snores of hogs the covers
  • He stays up late listening to you
  • He never talks about himself
  • He always stays in great shape
  • He gets along with all of your friends
  • He's 100% faithful
  • He's GREAT in bed

The closest thing to Christmas spirit!

I went to Starbucks yesterday and I got the Starbucks Christmas cup. It really annoys me to see most Christmas stuff out this early when Thanksgiving hasn't even come and gone, but not the Starbucks cups. I guess it's just my consumerism tendencies, but the Starbucks Christmas cup is the closest thing to Christmas spirit that I get. I'm not a huge fan of the holiday its self, but nothing says Christmas like a chai tea latte. I always tell people that chai tea latte's taste like Christmas because they do. Also, nothing tastes more like Winter than a peppermint mocha. Go to Starbucks and get in the holiday spirit everyone!

Prepare to be shocked

Chocolate Bear did a post on the Slanket not that long ago. Most everyone was into it and liked it, but not me. I think a giant robe will do the same thing and said that it was probably invented by the same person who made the pet rock. I was watching the news and I saw a commercial that took me by suprise. Playing right in front of me was an advertisement for the Snuggie! They blasted the Slanket saying that it was too exspensive saying that they cost too much and that the Snuggie was just as good, but cheaper. I don't know who are buying these, but I'm glad to know that it's not just one company monopolizing on the people out there buying this ridiculous. Anyways, I don't think either are great, but you can decide for yourself:
The Slanket
The Snuggie

The Slanket definitely has the better marketing, but the Snuggie is cheaper and has a better name.
What do you think?
