Hello Kitty Beer

Found in many references.

Hello Kitty Hell points out, "It really was never in any doubt. If there is Hello Kitty wine and Hello Kitty sake already on the market, you knew that the evil feline would place her grimy paws on beer eventually since if there is a buck to be made, she’s all for it. "

I'm just waiting for the obligatory reference to its tasting like cat's piss.

Bandages

Via Boing Boing:

More novelty bandages.

This time, "Scabs" bandages, decorated with sutures, scars, worms and eyeballs.

So much better than "Care Bear" bandages.

I think these are my favorite since Duct Tape bandages:

A more subtle alarm clock

Less than day after I stumble across the Mensa clock, I find the Jeeves clock.

Its alarm starts with the sound of chirping birds. Then there is a discreet coughing, and Stephen Fry's voice says one of "nearly 150" Jeeves-ish phrases. Such as "Let us seize the day and take it roughly from behind... as the Colonel used to say, in his unfortunate way." Or "I am delighted you have survived another night. If you would allow a personal note, sir, may I add my own small congratulations to the roar of the world's approval? Thank you, sir."

This is followed by a beeping noise, which is interrupted by Fry/Jeeves saying, "Ghastly noise, I agree, sir."

The clock comes in three versions: Original; Deluxe - Good Morning, Sir; and .Deluxe - Good Morning Madam.

The item is not available for sale on Firebox's US site. And while it is available on their UK site, only the "Deluxe - Good Morning, Sir," version is in stock as of this writing.

Here's a link to a video of a very long message referred to as "Relaxation Message."

Mensa Alarm Clock

Via Gizmodo:

RC Wonders in the UK is selling an alarm clock that is branded by Mensa.org.uk (although Mensa does not sell the clock themselves).

When the alarm goes off, you cannot turn it off immediately. First, you have to play a little game of Simon -- that is, the clock flashes a series of colored lights at you, and you have to repeat the pattern back to the clock. The patterns come in three levels of difficulty (your choice).

If you fail to repeat the pattern correctly or in the allotted amount of time, the alarm starts ringing louder. The alarm continues until you eventually succeed.

RC Wonders is also selling the clock through eBay.

I guess my question would be about AC power compatibility -- if it's made in the UK, can you plug it into the wall in the US? I guess they've faced this issue, since they specifically state how to buy from the US.

More candles

First I told you about the candles that smell like Jesus.

Now let me introduce you to Manly Man Candles (aka "Mandles").

Here's a sample list of available fragrances:

Hunting Lodge ("a strong, woody outdoor scent accented by cedar");

Yardwork ("smells like fresh cut grass");

Sports Injury (smells like "a cream that gets ICY cold and then HOT, if you get my drift");

Wild Alaska ("true pine accented with earthy undertones");

and, of course,

Leather (do I really have to describe it? Okay, it smells like leather.)

Heaven Scent

Candles that smell like Jesus.

Available in three scents, based on three bible references:

His Essence - Psalm 45:8 - "All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia..."

Resurrection - John 19:39-40, "Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds. Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen."

Servanthood - John 12:3, "Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume."

Available in jar candles, etched glass candles, pillar candles, votives and tea lights.

"Your tea is being kept warm by a candle that smells like Jesus smelled when he arose from the dead...."

Delicious, delicious.
