Slice dat cake!

2010-02-10T03:57:00.000-08:00

I don't know about you, but I just can't seem to cut my cakes quite straight, leading to unnecessary pastry-related frustration on that special day. Junior DOES like it just so, or he gets very very angry.

If only there were some form of LED-guided cake slicing base that would make oblique-angled cake sliceage a thing of the past and prevent Junior from having one of his turns. And while we were at it, it could play some soothing, festive music.

Incidentally there is a rather more pricey laser model available too, which would look RATHER impressive in your pantry organizer and indeed would be potentially useful in an intergalactic conflict.

Phonolink Sex Change Adapter (Female-to-Female)

2008-12-01T03:57:00.001-08:00

No, for the life of me I can't figure out how this works.

And how is female-to-female a sex change, anyway?!

Buy Weird Stuff - now featuring: the StoreMinator

2008-11-27T05:54:00.000-08:00

Just to let you know that from now on, Buy Weird Stuff will feature weird items, not from Amazon (though actually, some of them will be from there) but from the StoreMinator!

Why?
For no good reasons than it is a site I lovingly crafted personally and would like you to know about it! Plus it has every potential to contain plenty of weird stuff!

"What's the StoreMinator then?"
...I hear you cry! Well, I'm glad you asked!

The StoreMinator is a clever site which helps you match prices between the two online giants of retailing, Amazon and eBay. Most comparison shopping sites do not really facilitate price comparison between Amazon and eBay, but StoreMinator's cunning comparison algorithm lets you do just that!

How does it work?
We don't know, but it does!

Have a look at some of the Weird Stuff you can find through StoreMinator:

Poo-related items
Barack Obama memorabilia (including cardboard cutouts, a paper mask and even a Barak Obama tie!)
...and just so you don't think we are politically biased in any way: John McCain stuff, including masks and "bobbleheads"!

Go and check out the StoreMinator for yourself!

POO on Amazon!

2008-09-12T10:32:00.001-07:00

I came across this interesting item on Amazon, simply titled, "poo" - have a look here, if it's still in stock!

Unfortunately, there are no pictures, so you wonder exactly what you are getting. There was no price either at time of press, so I suspect some exorbitantly-priced but low-quality poo.

I don't know about you, but one thing I find really frustrating about ice (and I have many gripes) is its annoying tendency to melt at the most inconvenient times.

I mean it's all very well when you put it in your Breezer or whatever, but what about if you want to, say, photograph it?! Or perhaps admire it for an extended period of time? If only somebody would invent some kind of non-melting ice!

Well now they have! Only problem is, it's not cold either. Now that would have been a winning combination! Even so, this could be the solution to a burning environmental issue - transfer enough of it up to the polar ice-cap and... problem solved!

Oryx Goat Whey - vanilla flavoured, mmm!

2007-08-30T05:09:00.000-07:00

I'm as keen to stay in shape as the next man, so I make sure I get my daily dose of goat's milk whey. Of course, I don't imbibe just any old goat's milk whey, oh no, it's got to be French Alpine Goat and Swiss Saanen Goat. I'm sure I would only be nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine thousandths the man I am today if it had not been for my daily dose of Goat Whey. Mmmm... goat whey. Oh, and if you're wondering why it's flavoured with vanilla, why that's because otherwise it would taste like &*%%*&%.

Twelve-inch "beef chew"!

2007-06-12T04:16:00.000-07:00

First, this is for your dog, OK!? Let's get that cleared up right at the beginning of this "weird thing". This tasty-looking morsel is taken from a compliant bull and packed in cases of 24 for your dog to chew on, promoting healthy teeth, apparently.

However, I must leave to your over-active imaginations exactly whence this 12-inch length of "beef" is extracted from the bull. Suffice to say that in the modern slaughterhouse industry, truly NOTHING is wasted!

Buy weird inflatable poo!

2007-05-30T09:17:00.000-07:00

Well, this a day of sore disappointment here on Buy Weird Stuff. I was trawling around for weird stuff to buy when I came across this rather intriguing "inflatable poo"!

"Now that is weird, I'll have a couple of those", I thought. But my excitement was short-lived when I discovered what it actually was... There's a market there somewhere, though, I am sure of it! And I am sure children would find it FAR more exciting.

George Bush paper dolls

2007-05-24T05:14:00.001-07:00

Now this is nice! Enrich your paper cut-outs collection with a nice set depicting George Bush and family! They must sell these in their millions! Even if for some strange reason you are not a BIG fan of George Bush, you surely won't want to be without this in your set! The more ironic might even suggest that these paper cut-outs are slightly more substantial than the real thing! Apparently they even come with different outfits that the couple wore during the election campaign! Wow, what a treat!

Every time we find a new "weird thing" here on Buy Weird Stuff I think we have reached the bottom of the barrel! This is a new low, but I just know there is more weird stuff out there! If we find it, we'll be sure to let you know!

Look weird, hear good!

Today's weird buy is the Super Ear! Yes, eavesdrop on your neighbours, lovers in the park, politicians hobnobbing off the record! Become almost omniscient with the Super Ear!

The only drawback I can see is that you might look a teensy bit silly with this thing sticking out of your ear, but surely that is a small price to pay for almost god-like listening abilities!

Another weird buy from Buy Weird Stuff. I said ANOTHER WEIRD BUY FROM... oh, never mind...

Thanks for joining us on Buy Weird Stuff. The aim of this blog is to keep you up-to-date with the weird stuff you can buy these days, especially via the net.

To kick us off, I want to offer you: Cow Hooves Stuffed with Cheese!

This tasty morsel is available from Amazon.com and is certainly a far cry from Amazon's humble beginnings as an online bookstore!
