The Devil’s Playthings

First in Line… So what?
Friday, July 11th, 2008This morning as I rode the bus to work, I passed by 2 separate AT&T stores where hundreds of people were lined up, presumably waiting for hours for the brand new 3G iPhone. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely want an iPhone, but what’s so special about getting it first and waiting in line for hours today, when you can just walk into a store tomorrow and get the exact same iPhone with no wait?
Maybe I’m on my own here for thinking this is ridiculous, but taking this concept to the extreme was Jonny Gladwell, a New Zealander who camped out for 3 days (keep in mind it’s winter now in NZ) to get the first 3G iPhone in the world. Check out iPhone Jonny’s blog for some notes on the wait and for some humorous video clips of how he passed the time, including the following ridiculousness:

The Smell of Summer
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
I occasionally wear Demeter “Suntan Lotion” fragrance.
It makes for great propaganda: the smell gives the impression that I’m a laid-back type of guy that spends a lot of time at the beach.
Here’s a list of good Summer smells available in fragrance, lotion, and soap form (by Demeter):
Suntan Lotion • Bonfire • Grass • Fresh Hay • Pink Lemonade • Coconut • Frozen Margarita • Greenhouse • Piña Colada • Mesquite • Ocean • Salt Air • Mojito • Spring Break • Orange Cream Pop • Strawberry Ice Cream • Punch • Wet Garden • Tomato • Sweet Orange • Bubble Gum
Back and Forth, Forever
Friday, July 4th, 2008))<>((
This obscure emoticon ))<>(( just may be the funniest thing out there, ever. And I’ve made it my new life’s goal to tell everyone about it.
In short, Allison sees this ThreadPit t-shirt and says:
“I know where this is from, you have to see the movie!”
And she shows me the video clip from “Me and You and Everyone We Know” and it all made sense and I was laughing so hard I peed (NSFW):
Spread the word.
Back and forth, forever.

The Return of Hypercolor
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008Many of us had those cool Hypercolor color-changing T-shirts and shorts in the early 90’s. Apparently Hypercolor is making a comeback.
Time for a whole new generation to learn why we all stopped wearing Hypercolor in the first place.
• Hypercolor toilet seat (because Hypercolor is so very good at revealing ass).
Go Directly to Hollywood, Do Not Pass GO
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008The Wall Street Journal reports: Hasbro Games is taking its products to Hollywood with the intent of making feature films based on their acclaimed boardgames - such as Monopoly, Ouija, and Candy Land.
Casting Suggestion: Monopoly’s Rich Uncle Pennybags should be played by Wilford Brimley. And yes, this also counts as a Blogadilla Look-Alike.
Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Bonus Round: A Monopoly themed Reebok Reverse Jam Mid, coming out in late August 2008.

Darjeeling Limited T-Shirt
Sunday, June 29th, 2008
The only detail about the 2007 Wes Anderson film “The Darjeeling Limited” that I didn’t like: the absence of products and movie-related schwag.
I still want a Hotel Chevalier bathrobe, dammit.
Finally - Threadpit has released this cool Darjeeling Limited t-shirt.
I already bought one. I love the design and bright colors.
