Thanks to all of the modders out there, you never really know what an object is. Take this one. Looks like an old NES cartridge. It is, but it’s also an external hard drive. Until now, hard drives have not looked cool, but now you can have one in any NES cartridge you like.

Etsy seller 8-Bit Memory takes old NES cartridges, stuffs a hard drive inside and just like that you have a cool external drive. It will cost you $120 for 250GB, but he will make any size for you and with any cartridge. For an extra fee. What game would you choose? Contra? Street Fighter?

Nothing says redneck like moonshine. Well, moonshine and Nascar. And guns. And if you are referred to as one of those Duke boys. Why not combine Nascar and moonshine in one still? Make a toast to Dale Earnhardt while getting plastered.

Apparently NASCAR was founded by moonshine runners. This copper topped still will look right at home next to your other stills and Nascar memorabilia. Drink it’s sweet nectar proudly from a mason jar. Only $48.

Hey if you’re gonna smoke up, why not make it a tasty bacon extravaganza? Who knows, it might help curb the muchies too. These rolling papers combine the two things stoners like most, pot and bacon.

Made by Juicy Jay’s, the papers will give you a “sizzlin’ bacon taste and aroma”. You’ll be so baked, you won’t know if you’re smoking or frying dead pig. Hey, at least it’s not bad for your arteries.

You’re with a girl who is wearing regular clothes. How on Earth are you going to get her into a bikini? Or maybe you are on vacation and you forgot to pack a swimsuit. That usually ends in buying a crappy pair that doesn’t fit right.

Worry no more. Quicksilver’s swimsuit vending machines will make sure that you can always flaunt your stuff at the beach. That is, if you are staying at The Standard in either L.A., Hollywood, New York, or Miami.

Thank you Quicksilver for helping to get women out of everyday clothes and show off what they have. Swimsuits for everyone.
