While there is no shortage of simulators for individual sports, the E Ball stands apart because it simulates a whole range. It comes in both outdoor and indoor varieties and comes in a range of sporting flavors including: golf, soccer and Australian Rules football.

An indoor version of the E Ball is available, but there is no substitute for the bouncy castle outdoor version. Presumably there is some setup involved in changing between the sports, as the ball sensors are all appropriately shaped, but that is a small price to pay for enjoying sports out of the sun.

Price: N/A but you can bet that it is really expensive. [E Ball Games via Born Rich]

If you can have a vending machine with soccer balls why shouldn’t there be one for shoes. The shoe vending machine located in London’s Carnaby Street, has 24 pairs of running shoes in six different sizes. I can see this being a hit with tourist’s who wear bad footwear. After miles of walking in pain, trying to look stylish, a pair of running shoes in a vending machine will come across as a mirage in a desert.

Krugtech has an interesting take on an oh so familiar blight of suburban streets.  They have mounted a jet engine on actuators and stuck it in the back of a Dodge Caravan.  It looks pretty cool in an environmentally irresponsible sort of way.  It does an 1/8 mile in 7.65 seconds and even comes with a soccer ball bumper sticker; nice.

Videos after the jump! (more…)

Relaxman Relaxation Capsule

I ordered one of these assuming, obviously, that in the vein of similarly named “-man” products, portability would be its chief component. Walkman, Discman, etc, all distinguish themselves from other identical products by the fact that they are portable and can be carried and used anywhere. I felt some suspicion when the crate arrived in a semi truck and required two men and a hydraulic liftgate to unload it on the patio next to my Fuller dome. Sure enough, when I finished bagging up the last of the 20 cubic yards of foam packing peanuts and took the time to closely examine the machine it was clear it would not easily clip to my belt or swing suspended around my neck by a lanyard. What a disappointment! I’m often struck by the urge for complete relaxation when traveling, commuting to work, or competing in the Extreme Fighting championship. Now that sweet escape from the brutal trials of life will have to wait until I’ve landed my autogyro in the backyard and hunkered down in this oversized coffin: the deceptively named “Relaxman”.

Uranium Ore

My son wanted Play Doh for his birthday but unfortunately Toys ‘R’ Us was sold out of it. I figured this would be the next best thing. He absolutely LOVES it and told me he wishes he had a third hand because its so much fun! I told him maybe his kids would have better luck. A dozen more cans are on their way! Thanks Amazon.com!

Price: $22.95

Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank

I’ll admit it. Shopping for a personal tank can be a bit daunting. Many times in the past I’ve purchased overpriced, so-called “battle tanks”, then driven them into battle only to be wrecked in ten minutes by the first blow off of some insurgents home-made morter.

But not this baby, no way.

This tank R-O-C-K-S! Literally- the 400-watt sound-system keeps me rockin like a crazy man as I’m dishing out justice commando style. Wow. I just can’t say enough. And the kids love it, too- imagine the look of terror in the eyes of the enemy as I’m dropping off my kid’s team to their soccer game. Shock and awe, my friends, SHOCK AND AWE!

I had NAO install the optional GPS-guided white phosphorus missile system, and talk about *SWEET*! Burn baby burn!!!

Oh, it also has plenty of room for groceries, and if you need to like move a loveseat or something it’ll fit if you use a little bungee cord.

The only real negative with this tank is that it shows up on radar a little more than I like (although there is a polyresin graphite stealth model available). Also, the included spare isn’t full size.

Overall, a great tank.

Price: $20,000

Dagobert Wooden Toilet Throne

I was about to buy a gold plated toilet before I saw this. Now that the good old gold toilet is inferior I did not want my bottom to have an inferiority complex. Now My bottom and I are complete and I feel satisfied going to the bathroom knowing that It will take me over a lifetime to pay of the debt from buying this.

Price: $12,000

With it’s “state of the art amplifier” and “high output speaker” these sports themed travel cases can crank out the tunes from just about any MP3 or media player. The case comes in baseball, basketball, and soccer versions that should satisfy any fan of a sport that doesn’t use oddly shaped balls. Sorry fans of American Football.

Price: $11.99
