Jacques Derrida puppet

Deconstruct this postmodernist critique, if you dare! details

W.E.B. Du Bois

Great civil rights pioneer, great historian, great beanie doll. details

Ninja star coat hook

Nickel-plated zinc alloy ninja stars have a nail replacing one point so that when you nail it into the wall it will look like someone just attacked, and you beat him so easily that you now mock his attempt by using his own weapons to hold up your coat. details

Ice cream sandwich pillow

24 inches long, and quite realistic looking. details

Woodlands diorama moving picture

Move up to this cute 3D picture of animals in the forest slowly... seriously, a motion detector sends them hiding. 14.5" x 10.5" x 2" deep, requires 4 AA batteries. details

Scrabble fridge magnets

Surely you and visitors to your kitchen can be more creative than whoever spelled the words shown in the picture. Includes over 100 tiles, with all Scrabble letters plus double word, triple word, and triple letter tiles. details

Comic strip picture frame

After adding pictures to this frame, add captions, speech bubbles, and thought balloons, then fill them out. 8.5 by 10.75 inches. details

Squirrel head feeder

How do you get a squirrel to put this hilarious head on? By putting some bird food in it. Has the added benefit of keeping them away from the actual bird feeders. details

iCade: iPad Arcade Cabinet

At last, you can look cool while using an iPad. Just slide it into this desktop-sized arcade cabinet and control it with the built-in joystick and buttons. Lots of classic arcade games available to play on it. details

Smurf booklight

A Smurf floats in space, staring at you while you read. A little creepy, but it would be a lot weirder if it was Sandra Bullock. Uses 3 AAA batteries. details

Inanimate faces office stickers

Add faces—strange faces—to office objects, or to anything else. Liven up your stapler, your phone, your iPod... details

Phone shower head

To paraphrase James Taylor, "Shower the people you love with phone." This bright red phone receiver screws right onto any standard shower hose and will look great in your bathroom. Not a real phone. (I mean, duh.) details

"The End" bookend

Store your books looming ominously over this little guy. And because it leans, you only need one. details

12" mirror ball

An evocative classic. No home disco is complete without it. You do have a home disco, right? details

Retro TV pillow

Don't touch that dial! This 18.5" x 14" x 6" pillow looks like an old-fashioned TV, complete with fake wood panelling and fake dial with 13 channels. details

Chewed gum magnets

These magnets look like chewed gum in some lovely hues. Put up something on the fridge with this, and no one will take it down. details

Record placemats

Made of silicone and dishwasher safe, so better for eating off of than actual vinyl records, although you could probably use real CDs as accompanying coasters. details

Kaboom bomb candles

This set of six 1" candles will not explode, but they're bound to put your guests on edge, especially if they've seen a lot of Roadrunner cartoons. details

Temperature controlled shower head light

Lights up the water coming out of the faucet, with the color changing to show the temperature of the water. details

Guy trapped behind ventilation grate picture

This 12 x 8.5" picture is thick enough to look like an actual grate mounted on the wall. Get four and put them on all of a room's walls for a homey, comforting effect. details

Giant googly eyes

Each is seven inches across. We're talking giant googly eyes. Anything will look more interesting, especially things that move around, because they'll make the eyes google. details

DJ Cat Scratch turntable

At last, the ultimate hipster cat toy. The wheel of steel is actually recycled cardboard, which cats love to scratch. And, check out the excellent stickers. details

Uranium glow in the dark periodic table soap

Finish your shower feeling that special glow, and knowing the atomic number for the most famous of radioactive elements. Human tested and vegan friendly. details

Horror movie shower curtain and bath mat

When they say "horror movie," they basically mean "Psycho." The matching bloody footprint bathmat is a nice touch. 100% polyester! details

Michel Foucault finger puppet

This 4" finger puppet will stare at you disdainfully as it rejects the labels of post-structuralism and postmodernism. details

Turntable kitchen timer

What kind of kitchen timer would a real hipster have? Duh, just look at the picture. 55 minutes maximum, in case that's an issue. details
