Giant PSP!

Posted on August 26th, 2010 in Office supplies, Robots | No Comments »





Equal parts brilliant and stupid, this one is. Brilliant: Giant Sony PSP, which must just have amazing resolution on a screen that size. Stupid: They put it UP IN THE AIR WHERE YOU CAN’T REACH THE BUTTONS.

I guess you could rent one of those cherry-picker tree things to play it, but who’s gonna bother with that? Dumb.

Giant ruler, with girls!

Posted on August 5th, 2009 in Office supplies, People | No Comments »

The first known ruler dates back to the Indus Valley civilizations, more than 3,000 years ago. They were crude but surprisingly accurate instruments, carved from ivory and nicked with measurements.

This ruler, on the other hand, is made from a giant plank of flooring. It can be used to measure all sorts of things! Like other pieces of flooring, perhaps. Or the heights of several girls. All sorts of practical uses for this comically large ruler.

Also, and this is pivotal: Helllloooo ladies!

Giant doctor’s bag!

I had one of these pretend doctor’s kits when I was a kid. It was cheap black plastic and it kinda hurt your fingers to open the snap on the top. Inside was a plastic stethoscope, and a little plastic hammer that you were supposed to hit people on the knees with, and some plastic glasses.

OH CRAP, I’m all nostalgic for my lost youth now. I’d better stay away from eBay until the feeling passes, or I’ll end up buying another Rick Springfield record.

Giant pen!

Posted on December 29th, 2008 in Office supplies, Pencils | No Comments »

I have what some people might call an “office supply fetish.” I love pens, mechanical pencils, notebooks, blotters, paperweights. Oh crap, I left my new paper weight at home today! This awesome on I got for Christmas, totally left it on the stereo.

ANYWAY. Yeah, so I love pens. Fountain pens are awesome! Have you ever used a fountain pen? It makes you feel like you’re a Dickens character. Totally kicks arse. But this pen here, I don’t think I’d get so much enjoyment out of writing with it. I’d more likely get back ache, I think.

Giant rat, on some dude’s desk!

Giant chair, with girls!

Posted on August 26th, 2008 in Appliances, Office supplies, People | 1 Comment »

Here’s a very large wooden chair. It’s done in what you’d call a rustic style – the wood is unfinished and uneven, and that’s what lends this beauty its charm. A real conversation piece, this one.

Also: Hellllllooooo ladies!

Giant roll of masking tape!

Posted on June 17th, 2008 in Office supplies | No Comments »

When the roll of tape is this big, it becomes more important than ever to fold a little bit of the end over, so that you can easily get it started when you need to use it again. Isn’t that the worst thing ever, when you’re trying to get a piece of tape but you can’t pull it off evenly because it’s all stuck, and then it rips and goes down in little strips? You know what I’m talking about. That totally drives me nuts.
