Tea for two?

An 18th Century Tea Chest? For $750,000? Reserve not met? Hah, the curse of the Brits lives on. And notice, hilariously, ‘will not ship’. Arf!  Up for bid is an extremely rare 18th century tea chest that is reputed to have been thrown into Boston Harbor during the famous Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773. One of only three known surviving tea chests from this historical event that triggered the Revolutionary War for independence.

Bare chicken, can might.

Moving right along, it’s probably fair to say that the Beer-Can Chicken Roaster is something that could only – and we repeat only – come from Australia. Land of the Frozen Wombat Lolly and Black Widow XXXX Pie. OK, so we made the last stuff up, but you get the idea. And let’s spend a few moments quietly with head bowed in respect for the poor old chuckie, eh? A$19.95.  We’ve gotta admit, when we first laid eyes on this…

Ugly motor.

Apparently the Aurora is considered to be the world’s ugliest car. Hmm..kind of makes sense really, doesn’t it? [Thanks RJ]  A bizarre car that has been dubbed the ‘ugliest automobile in the world’ is today back on the road 50 years after its launch. The unique Aurora, a 19 feet long monster that was built by an eccentric New York priest as the ultimate safety vehicle, is now turning heads again. Father Alfred Juliano bankrupted himself creating the prototype, which remained…

Pawn shop auction.

The Pawn Shop Auction. Clearly just started, with a solitary – sniff – Sony Walkman in the Electronics category. I post this out of sympathy with a start up, rather than any real hope that the venture will lift off. Ah well, such is the dog eat eBay nature of the online auction arena. And guys, get a real logo, eh?  Pawnshop Auction Network provides a subscription based web site that allows Pawnshops to list as many items as they would like…

Talk show radio.

How interesting to you would a Talking Radio be? One where a little character on the front mouthed all the audio you heard? Would it be interesting? Would it? Hmm…suppose it might make Avril Lavigne slightly more palatable. But then again…

The Prancing Pony Pickup.

1984 Custom Built Toyota Ferrari Testarossa Pick-Up. Hmm…a Toyota Ferrari pickup. Is that like a Gucci Walmart egg slicer?

And wallet.    The Lower Front Grill is Off An Actual Ferrari Testarossa, Made To Fit Perfectly On This Truck. Marmitte/Ansa Ferrari Exhaust System with Quad Outlets…Custom Built Chrome Ferrari Two-Piece Wheels. Authentic Ferrari Emblems. The Tailgate Has A…

Fantasy furnitures.

Fantasy Chairs. We mention this only because it is possibly the first Open Source furniture manufacturing process protected under a Creative Commons license. Kind of egalitarian, s’pose. Glean more at Not Sucky.  Okay, so this whole thing may be a little confusing. Basically we are a custom manufacturer based on the Open Source Design, or known as the “Open Design” movement. We are also an idea enabler and we make a mean cappuccino for two o’clock tea time. The Fantasy…

Trashcade.

Trashcade. The cardboard arcade cabinet. Whatever floats yer boat, dude.  Raid the nearest dumpster to get some suitable boxes. Look for sturdy, clean, intact boxes that don’t smell too bad. Get as many as you can cram into your car. You can’t really be sure how many you’ll need for a nice cabinet.
