Myerchin Marlin Spike

Myerchin Marlin Spike

Myerchin's Marlin Spike is too big to be a toothpick, too small to be a fire poker, too blunt to skewer me some kebabs...so what exactly is it? What the EDConundrum is a marlin spike?

Sailors, boaters, and survivalists amongst you will recognize this maritime tool, but for everyone else, a marlin spike is used for tasks such as untying knots, unlaying rope for splicing, and as a toggle to connect ropes under tension. Away from the sea, it's probably most handy for the first one, loosening knots you've tied around the house, outdoors, or while practicing with your PRO-KNOT Booklet.

Mystical Fire Campfire Colorant

Mystical Fire Campfire Colorant

Mystical Fire packets turn all wood-burning fires (the ones in your living room included) into a circus of colorful flames. Amazon reviewer CVTuckster suggests using more than one pouch at a time for larger fires, and notes they should be laid stably on a log, as functionality is dependent on their chemicals melting and adhering to the wood. He reports that rainbow light show effects last 15 to 20 minutes. Note: CVTuckster is only a Mystical Fire consumer, not an employee of the manufacturer, and could be lying or not know what he's talking about. But I believe everything he says because anyone named Tuckster has got to be a pimp.

Millennium Falcon Wireless Charge Pad

Millennium Falcon Wireless Charge Pad

What a piece of junk! Actually, I have no idea how well this Star Wars Millennium Falcon Wireless Charge Pad works, or how cool (or junky) it looks in person, but that felt like the right line from the film series to open with. Either that or, the Star Wars Millennium Falcon Wireless Charge Pad will have your phone juiced back up in point five past lightspeed. But of course, that sounds way less believable than the gimmicky qi charging ship being a piece of junk.

'Tis the world we live in, my dudes and ladies, 'tis the world we live in.

Marshmallow Crossbow

Marshmallow Crossbow
Marshmallow Crossbow

Mr. Stay Puft's got nothing on my Mallow Bow. Sure, he can stomp on people, toss cars, and tear down buildings, but I can dole out cavities, high blood sugar, and toothaches. Straight to the kisser from 60' away!

The MMX Marshmallow Crossbow is a handcrafted firing mechanism designed to shoot "fresh slightly dry regular sized marshmallows." Yes, that's right. Now you have a bitchin' application for that bag that went stale after you passed out from too much whiskey 'n' S'mores before sealing it back up. Marshmallow Bows are made from natural materials in Vancouver, BC.

Meat Shredding Claws

Meat Shredding Claws

Second only to my teeth - and probably preferred by the other people at the BBQ - these Claws from OXO shred meat with quickness, efficiency, and panache. Well, as much panache as an eagle's talons or a coupla garden rakes can muster, anyway.

Monopoly for Sore Losers

Monopoly for Sore Losers

If I had a Monopoly dollar for every kid...and CEO...and politician...who could use a copy of Monopoly for Sore Losers, I'd be so rich I'd take out Uncle Pennybags as the new face of Monopoly.

Interestingly, Monopoly for Sore Losers isn't about rewarding losers for losing with winnings such as participation trophies, ice cream sundaes, and hefty inheritances they never did jack shit to earn. Instead, the game doles out coins and power to players for doing things like paying rent and taxes, and going to jail.

So really, it shouldn't be called Monopoly for Sore Losers, it should be called Monopoly Fantasy Land for the Poor & Middle Class.

MechaniCoasters - DIY Kinetic Sculpture Coasters

MechaniCoasters - DIY Kinetic Sculpture Coasters

I definitely wanted a set of MechaniCoasters to appease my fidgety fingers and steampunk penchant, and my wife's naggy inclinations and aversion to anything ring-shaped and wet touching her tables. But then I saw these super cool kinetic sculpture coasters are DIY. Like, if you want to tinker with their 4 different mechanical movements, and you want to make your wife happy you're using coasters, you can't just buy a set from Derek Hugger, you have to build them yourself.

The ability to do ham curls and weighted leg extensions without fancy gym machines. With nary more than a dumbbell or two, in fact. Oh, and you think MonkeyFeet enabling you to attach and lift dumbbells with your feet means you can't lift heavy on leg day? Nope! Each MonkeyFoot can support a dumbbell of up to 160 pounds!
