Marshmallow Shooter

2005-08-24T14:55:00.000-05:00

ThinkGeek Gadgets

Go Ahead . . . Shoot S'more!
The Marshmallow Shooter is an excellent addition to the office arsenal, shooting calamitous confections over 30 feet. It is easy to fire and reload, making it perfect for quick attacks (or rapid defense). The Shooter holds up to 20 marshmallows for extended office campaigns, and is capable of rapid fire for laying down cover for coworkers.

The Shooter comes equipped with 20 foam pellets (non-edible, but squishy) which are also fun to shoot. Marshmallow ammo is sold separately to maintain freshness. Each Ammo bag is 4.4 oz (the bag we counted had 247 rounds) of some of the tastiest (and deadliest) mini-marshmallows imaginable – straight from Marshmallowville (where, we hear, even the trees are tasty). Truly Ammo-licious!

The Marshmallow Shooter is a Creative Child Magazine 2004 seal of excellence winner – which means it is perfect for the office. The warning on the box says, "Do not eat marshmallows after shooting," but Chris M. thinks when velocity and distance are incorporated into the equation, the 5 second rule is dramatically increased. He agrees with "Do not eat foam pellets," however.

Shoots over 30 feet.
Magazine holds 20 rounds of ammo.
Shoots foam pellets or mini-marshmallows.
20 foam pellets included.
Mini-marshmallows not included, must be purchased separately.

TIX Led Clock

2005-08-24T14:52:00.000-05:00

ThinkGeek Gadgets

It's Time For Patterns Telling Time

Patterns can be found everywhere in life. In our DNA, in cloud formations, during a chess game, in your code, in your deviant behaviors, and even in your bottle of Bawls. Patterns give us clues. Clues give us information. Information makes the world a happier place (not necessarily a safer happier place though). In the case of the Tix clock, the patterns can give you the time.

Millions of patterns are possible with the futuristic-looking Tix clock, yet the clock is extremely simple to read once you grasp the basic concept. The four seperate fields act like the four digits of a digital clock. The value of each digit is simply the number of illuminated squares in each field. So any given time of the day may have thousands of different ways of displaying the time. The clocks in the image are displaying the time 12:34. It's that easy! Of course your friends are just going to take a look at your Tix clock and think it's just modern LED art. Dullards...

Please note that the image to your left shows the clock static. However, you can set your Tix clock to update every second so that you end up with a constantly evolving change of patterns that reveals to you the time.

Features

Brushed metal faceplate
Available in Silver or Black
LED illuminators last indefinitely
Three display update options (every second, every 4 seconds, every minute)
Three dimming levels
May be mounted horizontally or vertically
May be placed on desk or wall mounted
Runs on 6V AC with included (US) wall transformer. 60 Hz.
Actual size 10.2" x 3.0" (x 1" deep)

Roman Sandals

2005-08-21T22:15:00.000-05:00

Roman Sandals

The Roman Sandals were worn by the Roman Legion for the long march and the long campaign that often followed it. The hobnails kept the sole from wearing out too quickly. The Roman Sandals are constructed of leather. Available in brown or black.

The Roman Sandals were officially called the 'Caligae.' The hobnailed sandals, made from pig leather were thick-soled and heavy. The hobnails were hollow- headed and a lining may have been used inside for comfort. The heavy sandals are the classic Roman army boot. Numerous examples have been found at first-century sites.

Caligae were as important as armor, because the legions won wars by fast marches as much as by battle. These sandals were strong and well-ventilated with patterns of iron hobnails especially designed to take weight and withstand miles of marching. A soldier would wear out and obtain new caligae every 6 months or so, after many repairs were made. Often wool socks were worn under the caligae, which made them much more comfortable. Many styles of caligae were made, though military forms seem to have followed a similar style.

Instant Speakers!
SoundPads stick-on speakers transfer sound to any surface you stick them on. SoundPads convert posters, bookcases, tables, doors - any thin-walled high-transmission surface into permanent stereo speakers! Sound quality varies depending on the surface you peel and stick them on, so be creative!

These are designed to stick permanently to the location to which they are adhered. A bit of trial and error in choosing where to mount the sound pad is recommended. For example, you might find improved sound quality in one area of a framed picture by sliding the pad on its surface (before peeling to expose the adhesive), so be creative *before* you give these a permanent home...

Homer da Vinci Poster

2005-08-14T13:53:00.000-05:00

Vitruvian Homer

A long time ago, a Roman guy named Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (sort of like “pollo” which means chicken in Spanish – mmmmm…..chicken), made a list of body proportions. Then a bit later, but still a long time ago, Leonardo da Vinci corrected some of them and sketched the Vitruvian Man. And now we have Vitruvian Homer – who updates this classic study of proportions, and distorts it to today’s standards.

Homer is backed by his favorite food: a donut, the universal symbol of unity and weight gain. In Homer’s outstretched arms, he holds the four key ingredients to happiness in this world: a hotdog, a can of beer, a pastry, and a remote control. But the best feature of this immortal poster is the look on Homer’s face. Is he deep in thought, or just confused? Is he pondering the complexities of life, or just wondering how his fig leaf is staying in place?

Night Dragon Tapestry

2005-08-13T11:53:00.000-05:00

The Night Dragon tapestry is made of 100% cotton, pre-shrunk, color-fast and machine washable. The image of the Night Dragon is positioned on the entire tapestry, featuring large bat wings, long tail and large nails. The size of the Night Dragon tapestry is 80" by 100". The tapestry is available in blue.

The dragon symbolized evil in the ancient Middle East, and the Egyptian god Apepi was the great serpent of the world of darkness. The Greeks and Romans sometimes represented dragons as evil creatures and sometimes as beneficent powers acquainted with the secrets of the earth. In Christianity the dragon symbolized sin and paganism, and saints such as St. George were shown triumphing over it. Used as warlike emblems in many cultures, dragons were carved on the prows of Norse ships and depicted on royal ensigns in medieval England. In the Far East the dragon was a beneficent creature, wingless but regarded as a power of the air. In China it symbolized yang in the yin-yang of cosmology, and it served as the emblem of the royal family.

Deck LED-Backlit Keyboard

2005-08-13T11:36:00.000-05:00

ThinkGeek Gadgets

Adjustable illumination!

Take a nice long look at the only LED backlit keyboard with every character on every key individually lit, not just the frame and gaps in between. Deck's lights are rated at 200,000 hours of life. That's pushing 22 years if the Deck is never turned off. The LEDs can be easily adjusted to one of seven brightness levels to reach the desired level of illumination.

This thing looks great and is built to last. Deck keyboards are constructed with 50-million cycle switches and gold cross point key switches. (Putting it into perspective, the keyboard you are using right now is most likely using 1 million cycle switches and no gold). It is built to operate smoothly in environments from minus 40°C to plus 70°C. So you're safe in both Antarctica and Death Valley. You never know, you know?

Available in four colors, Fire (red), Ice (blue), ToXic (green), and Gold (yellow). See additional images to check 'em out!

Gold-filled Celtic Brooch

2005-08-12T10:24:00.000-05:00

Gold-filled Celtic Brooch

The Gold-filled Celtic Brooch is very elegant, yet simple! The Celtic brooch is filled with 14K gold over pewter, which makes it much thicker than gold plated. The Gold-filled Celtic Brooch measures 1 ½ inches in diameter.

The design featured on the Gold-filled Celtic brooch is the ever-famous Celtic knotwork. Celtic knotwork is so stunningly beautiful in its simplicity; a single path that never terminates except within itself. Some knots were used as magical talismans for protection. Celtic knotwork is an ancient tradition. Its origins can be traced back as far 500 BC.

There's no single meaning for a knot. Its symbolism differs from person to person, country to another. However, there are no known authentic knotwork designs meaning love or loyalty or many of the other common meanings ascribed to the designs. Nevertheless, the Celts believed that all life was interconnected, and these knots represent that particular belief.

Belgian Crossbow Pistol, 17th Century

Decorative 17th Century Belgian Crossbow, safe cannot be fired.

This little crossbow was more likely developed for target and sporting purposes than as a serious weapon, but it was able to throw a bolt a considerable distance under the power of the spring-steel bow. This replica is not functional, except to the extent that the workings of a crossbow are clearly demonstrated.

A Voyeuristic Collection Of The Internet's Best BLOG Entries...

Do you occasionally wonder,

What kind of person works at a porn video store?
Do public defenders believe in their clients?
What does a reporter feel when he visits war-torn Iraq?
What happens after a child star falls into obscurity?

Thanks to Web logs, or "blogs" as they're affectionately nicknamed by Net-savvy voyeurs, anyone can jump into the shoes of a video salesclerk, a criminal court lawyer, an international journalist, or a TV star, among others.

While entertaining and educating, these virtual diaries represent a cross section of the people who dwell online. This book features the Internet's most provocative writing, by unknown writers and underground celebrities.

Neil Forrester, former cast member of MTV’s The Real World, gives new meaning to the phrase "Bite your tongue." Meanwhile, Star Trek:The Next Generation actor, Wil Wheaton, gives his take on the Hollywood system and fleeting stardom.

Elsewhere, web designer Heather Hamilton finds herself unemployed after postin on-the-job stories to her personal blog. And humorist Choire Sicha shares advice about broken hearts and timeshares. Plus: tales of creepy video-store customers, office pranks gone awry, a childhood encounter with Darth Vader, and so much more!

Too Hot For Some...

As any monkey will tell you, here at ThinkGeek we love delicious Hot Coffee. Sometimes we like it standing up, sometimes on our knees, and sometimes we just like to sit back and enjoy someone else serving us Hot Coffee. A lot of people like Hot Coffee, and a lot of people have been talking about it. Too many people have been talking though, and the goverment is taking away our Hot Coffee. They're replacing it with Decaf. Decaf sucks.

Stand up, sit down, or get on your knees with us and morn the demise of Hot Coffee. If you don't get it, you won't get any. But if you do get it, you might still be able to get some. At least with a shirt.

Black t-shirt in heavyweight 100% cotton with "Hot Coffee, gird your loins for love." printed on the front in white ink.

WiFi Detection with LCD screen

We haven't seen any WiFi sniffing dogs at the airport but we suspect that somewhere there is a small group of individuals dedicated to training such useful helpers. Until these canines are trained and domesticated we have a device that can assist in "sniffing out" the presence of WiFi. It's a nice unit that offers several improvements on currently available WiFi detectors.

Your typical WiFi detector will only show the presence of a signal and relative signal strength. This Wi-Fi Digital Hotspotter, from Canary Wireless, has a 12-character LCD that provides information on signal availability and strength as well as essential network information, including SSID, security status and channel. When multiple networks are present the LCD will allow you to scroll through information for each network.

Also has these great features.

16th Century Italian Armor

2005-08-11T07:28:00.000-05:00

16th Century Italian Armor stands about 6 ft tall on its wooden base, and 7 ft when you add the height of its halberd. It boasts a stud crested breastplate and aged blue finish. 16th Century Italian Armor is life size and is made of no rust aluminum for ease of upkeep. The armor features a fine decorated breastplate, broad guarded pauldrons (shoulders) and antique finish for an aged appearance. Halberd and wooden base included.

Throughout the centuries, Italian armor was highly prized for incredible detailing and superior style. This superb reproduction armor is crafted in the styling tradition of those master craftsmen who created the originals for Kings and knights throughout Europe. See the difference between a suit of armor from Italy and others made elsewhere, there is no comparison in styling. The 16th century Italian Armor is a collection of pieces that could be added or removed depending on whether the armor was used for sporting contests or actual combat.

Greenies Smart-Treats Jumbo Size Value Pack
16 Oz - Jumbo - For Dogs Over 90 Lbs. - 4 Pack

There's never been anything like Greenies for your dog.
These delicious bone-hard treats clean your dog's breath while they clean his teeth. Greenies with natural chlorophyll help reduce odors, control dental tartar and plaque, strengthen gums, and diminish oral bacteria.

Greenies is the first and only treat to provide all of these benefits in one nutritious, enjoyable chew:

Dogs can't resist the taste.
Helps clean teeth and freshen breath.
Abrasive action decreases buildup of dental plaque.
No by-products, preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors.
Created by a veterinarian, clinical nutritionist, and agricultural specialist.
Enhances nutrition.
The Greenies Story
Dr. Joe and Judy Roetheli are dog lovers with a strong interest in animal health and nutrition. But the idea for Greenies was actually inspired by Ivan, their male Samoyed who suffered from terrible breath.

The Roethelis decided to formulate something Ivan would love to chew on that would get rid of his doggie breath and be good for his teeth and overall health.

The results were amazing. With help from a veterinarian and clinical nutritionist, the Roethelis developed Greenies, the first and only smart-treat for dogs. Greenies not only satisfy a dog's natural desire to chew, they contain the natural green advantages of chlorophyll, which comes from plants. And Greenies offer the most complete list of terrific benefits for you and your dog--from dental care to nutrition to fun.

No artificial coloring added, no preservatives, and no plastics or other inert ingredients.

Celtic Arm Band

2005-08-10T10:04:00.000-05:00

Celtic Armband

The Celtic Armband is made of leather and cast in bronze. The armband features Celtic Trinity symbol around the band. The Celtic Armband looks great with our Celtic Belt (item #M200196). Choose from black or brown.

In Christian doctrine, trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament. The Trinity symbol existed earlier than Christianity and was likely a Celtic symbol of the triple Goddess, and in the North, a symbol of the god Odin. Triplicities were common symbols in Celtic myth and legend, one of the possible reasons Christian beliefs were so easily adopted by the Celtic people.

In Wiccan and Neopagan belief, the trinity symbolizes the triple aspected goddess (maid, mother, and crone). The trinity is also believed to symbolize the triplicities of mind, body, and soul, as well as the three domains of earth- earth, sea, and sky.

3-D LASER CRYSTAL ART PIECES

2005-08-09T18:28:00.000-05:00

LASER CRYSTAL: Two Dolphins with Large Coconut Trees

(subject to inventory quantities, and design availability)

This is a 3-D Laser Crystal Art Piece of "Two Dolphins with Large Coconut Trees".

Laser Crystal Art is created by a powerful laser beam which is highly focused on a spot inside the crystal, melting microscopic pieces of glass. Then the laser beam refocuses to burn another spot, corresponding with the previous one. It is repeated thousands of times, to create this amazing 3-D image inside the glass. Crystal design has bevelled edges, and measures approximately 3" x 2" x 2" (50mm x 50mm x 80mm).

Comes with nice gift box (see picture). Perfect as a small unique gift or desk decor. Please click on above image for greater detail, however the 2-D picture on the Internet does not do justice to this lovely 3-D Laser Crystal.

We recommended that you consider also purchasing the "Crystal Rotary Slide Show" item. This spectacular LED light is designed to make the 3D laser crystal look more breath taking when you put the crystal on top of the base.

The base utilizes a stylish rotary mirror disc and LED lighting show, which make the 3D-image glow in an amazing fashion. This beautiful crystal with the brilliant color will brighten up any room or location that you put it in.

The large display (4" diameter) has 8 rotary lights and and the small display (3" diameter) has 4 rotary lights are both listed under separate cover and not included in the above price.

The Funniest Animated Fox Show Yet!, January 26, 2003
Reviewer: Michael Pappalardo (Ronkonkoma, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I am a long-time Simpson fan...ever since the Simpsons first came on the scene back in the late 80's I would watch the show every chance I got. But over the years the Simpsons started getting a little stale. And that's when Family Guy came in.

Family Guy is, by far, the funniest animated television series since the Simpsons were in their prime. We're weighing in alot of shows here...Ren and Stimpy, Futurama...but there's something about Family Guy that just warrants gut-busting laughs. Maybe it's Quagmire's ridiculous attempts at picking up women, Peter's wealth of ignorance, little Stewie's attempts at world domination, or just the random silliness thrown in to all of the episodes, such as appearences by the Kool Aid man, the 'Two Scoops' sun from the old Raisin Bran commercials, references to the old Incredible Hulk television series...and alot more.

Family Guy is definitely not for the kids...all of the situations are adult and sometimes are borderline risque (which got the series cancelled, unfortunately). The network censors and committees have no idea what they've done...they threw away a gold mine.

While it could never truly replace the Simpsons, Family Guy was well on its way to becoming the new dominant animated series on Fox. The Simpsons have been stale the last few years...Family Guy breathed new life into prime time animation that you just don't see anymore. It's too bad, really. In any case, don't pass up the opportunity to own every episode on DVD!!

Fans will love to have all episodes on dvd, I know i'm looking forward to it. And even if you've never seen it, then take my advice: Pick it up anyway! You will not regret it! The extra features are a little bare bones, but it doesn't matter. The show has enough laughs to keep you coming back...even watching the same episode twice won't lessen the amount of laughs you get from it. Definitely a great idea to put this classic but short lived series on DVD!

Some Episodes Stand Up To Repeat Viewing, Some Don't, August 6, 2005
Reviewer: Michael Kent (Canada) - See all my reviews

First of all, I'd like to say that I love this show.

Having said that, there are a few things that come to mind, one being the comparisons between Family Guy and The Simpsons, which others have elected to point out.

Some of which include:

1)Both fathers are morons who like to hang out with their friends at the local bar or sit in front of the TV.

2)Both feature evil sons, though Stewie is more of an evil genious while Bart is just evil.

3)Both feature mothers with annoying voices...though Lois will use her sex appeal...and both wear green.

4)Both have outcast daughters...at least Lisa is smart...Meg is just a drag with her whining and her "woe is me I'm unpopular" attitude.

5)Both feature a mix of regular and semi-regular supporting characters.

6)Both families have dogs...and this is where Family Guy scores, as Brian is vastly superior in intellect and everything else to Santa's Little Helper.

Without Brian and Stewie, this show would probably go nowhere and would certainly not have been resurrected as a series through its DVD sales. Do I see the show lasting sixteen years as The Simpsons has done? No, and this is the main reason... with The Simpsons, it took several viewings of episodes for me to become bored with certain ones...with Family Guy there were a few I would skip after viewing a couple of times.

It'd be nice to say that these episodes stand up to the test of time, but certain ones don't hold up.

Among these are:

Chitty Chitty Death Bang - not that funny to begin with (with the exception of Brian's line "I SAID runt.")the whole cult, let's drink some poisoned punch thing.

DA BOOM - Too much like The Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror episodes and not consistant with the remaining episodes.

THE KING IS DEAD - Just not much to offer in this one at all in the way of humor.

I AM PETER, HEAR ME ROAR - Not that this is a bad episode, but that nipple sucking scene with Peter and Stewie gives me the creeps.

RUNNING MATES - Just shows what a jerk Peter can be towards his wife...much like THE KING IS DEAD.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND BUCKS - I guess I just find most episodes revolving around Chris or Meg boring and this one is right at the top.

E PETERBUS UNUM - Just the title alone makes it worth skipping.

Having said that, I would recommend the following as episodes worth repeated viewing:

DEATH HAS A SHADOW - The first and one of the better episodes of the first season.

MIND OVER MURDER - Lois becomes a stage attraction after Peter opens a bar in his basement after being placed under house arrest.

BRIAN: PORTRAIT OF A DOG - Brian faces the death penalty after running out on the family after misbehaving at a dog show.

BRIAN IN LOVE - Could Brian's carpet wetting problems have anything to do with his love for Lois?

DEATH IS A BITCH - Death is injured, so Peter has to take over his duties (this is one The Simpsons blatently ripped off in one of their Treehouse episodes when Homer kills death, then becomes him)

IF I'M DYIN', I'M LYIN' - Peter says Chris is dying so they can get their favorite show back on the air, then becomes known as a healer when Chris is "cured".

ROAD TO RHODE ISLAND - Probably the one I watch the most. I like the song Brian and Stewie sing and the interaction between the two on the road. Brian shows once again how he is at once the most adult and the most flawed character on the show.

LET'S GO TO THE HOP - Peter goes under cover to infiltrate the toad lickers at Meg's high school. Great musical number here, too.

DAMMIT, JANET! - The first of the "Stewie In Love" themed shows.

WASTED TALENT - Who knew Peter could play the piano...as long as he was wasted?

If nothing else, it proves the whole Family Guy pattern that some shows hit the mark while others just splat against the wall and slide to the ground. I would still recommend this box set, for it has some very entertaining episodes, but don't be surprised if you cross some off the list along the way.

A Kid's Review

I personally think that this show doesn't suck, and the Simpsons don't suck either. I think that everyone has a right to their opinion ( to those who are saying we dont have rights,more or less, stick it in your ear) It's all based on YOUR opinion. just cause some guy says the Simpsons rock and this sucks, that's not gonna harm you cause you can just go on and ignore that guy, right? All I'm doing is just trying to keep the peace here.

Great Start but dies, August 3, 2005
Reviewer: unknownpersn "4d" (California, LA USA) - See all my reviews

The first time I saw family I thought it was incredibly funny. It gets boring after viewing the same episodes a few times. Is it me or did the comedy die down when they came up with the new ones? Well anyways I switched back to watching the Simpsons new or not I think the Simpsons are far superior. P.S. people can compare the Simpsons to Family Guy if they want to

One of the funniest shows on TV., August 2, 2005
Reviewer: 14-Year Old Movie/Game Lover "Adam Sims" (I may be from Kentucky, but I'm not a redneck) - See all my reviews

Before I review this, I want to talk about the 1 and 2 star reviews. Most are made by hard-core [and I mean REALLY HARDCORE] Simpsons fans, little kids who can't understand the adult humor, people who hate "offensive" humor, or people w/o a sense of humor [like that Michael guy below me.]

FG was first aired in the beginning of 1999. But it was canceled in 2003. But, do to popular demand, the show is back with new episodes! The show revolves around the Griffin Family:

PETER: The man of the house. Very fat and stupid, and his hilarious antics will make you bust a gut.

LOIS: Peter's redhead wife. She is much smarter than Peter and lives as housewife.

CHRIS: The 13-year old son. He is about as stupid and as fat as Peter.

MEG: The 16-year old teenage daughter. She's like most girls her age: Ponders about what's "in", wants to be popular, and she's pretty embarrassed by her family.

STEWIE: The super-intelligent baby who can talk and wants to rule the world and kill Lois. This guy is hilarious!

BRIAN: The talking dog. Loves to drink martinis. A cool character.

The neighbors are also pretty funny. My favorite neighbor has got to be Quagmire the pimp.

This DVD has 28 shows:

Death Has a Shadow
I Never Met the Dead Man
Chitty Chitty Death Bang
Mind Over Murder
A Hero Sits Next Door
The Son Also Draws
Brian: Portrait of a Dog
Peter Peter Caviar Eater
Holy Crap
Da Boom
Brian in Love
Love Thy Trophy
Death is a Bi*ch
The King is Dead
I am Peter, Hear me Roar
If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin'
Runnng Mates
A Picture's Worth a Thousand Bucks
15 Minutes of Shame
Road to Rhode Island
Let's Go to the Hop
Dammit, Janet!
There's Something About Paulie
He's Too Sexy for His Fat
E Peterbus Unum
The Story on Page One
Wasted Talent
Fore, Father

A great collection of shows, but it needs more special features, like commentaries on ALL the episodes, not just some, and some Easter Eggs. Ah well.

Also note that this show is NOT for little kids. I recommend it for ages 12+.

One more thing, try to get the limited edition DVD which includes a T-shirt right in the box, plus a bonus disc which includes an episode of American Dad [a pretty funny show.]

FG fans must get this!
