I’ve known plenty of bored housewives in my day. Some carnally. And I can assure you that this chair is an accurate replica. It’s designed by Walter Raes and made out of household items and recycled industrial material such as wire ironing boards, a pair of patent leather, knee high stiletto boots for the arms, leather upholstery for the seat and boots for the front legs.

From my own experience, the only thing missing is a voice module that should say things like, “My husband will be home soon.” Or “I’ve been a bad girl. I wrinkled your shirt”.

I think this piece is a metaphor for Holly’s life with Hef. Notice the bunny ears and how all of that gold-digging weight is on her back. There she kneels, submissive to a boner that never comes, despite the fact that she starved herself to look good. Sad. So sad.

If you’re looking for some cool pop-art type pillows, check out these spray can pillows. They were originally put on display during the “Tools of the Trade” Art Exhibition at the Bape Gallery in 2002. They only recently became available, put out for sale by Stash, a famous New York-based street artist.

The soft spray can replica pillows measure 30” X 10” and come in red, aqua and purple and sell for $100 each. Pretty cool. A great way to express your love of Krylon type paint.

If you’ve ever wanted to make the plants in your home seem like the seedy underbelly of a city in urban decay, you’re in luck.

Drawing inspiration from the bonsai, park planters were created to elevate the common household plant to the status of full grown tree. The potted plant becomes the backdrop for an urban park scene. Ranging from dog walkers to flashers and muggers, no two scenes are alike ensuring the autonomy of each piece.

You’ll notice they failed to mention one guy blowing another guy.

As if you didn’t have enough Space Invaders crap in your home, they have now invaded your kitchen and want to help you chop your Earthly food for consumption. It does have an awesome retro look.

Slam your knife down on this guy again and again in revenge for quarters lost in the 80’s.

I’ve been watching my step ever since the Knife-Block Head incident. Which is why I was not a bit surprised when the wife comes home with a new knife block, with a figure of my likeness all tied up and bound. She’s been amusing herself by twirling the damn thing and throwing the knives, in order to put them away. The little guy remains fine, but our walls have become the new knife holder.

Update: She’s out in the garage making a full scale wood replica of this knife holder.

Update # 2: She’s nearly done. When last I looked she had drawn a body outline in the center that reads “Conner tied here.”

Update # 3: My bags are packed and I’m blogging on the run. Jesus, you make one unreasonable demand involving her sister and a goat and you have to pay for it forever.

I first found out about this thing when my wife very innocently asked if she could photocopy my head. She said it was for some sort of art project. Hell, when she’s busy she’s quiet. That leaves me free to get my fill of porn and talk to some hot nerd chicks online. So I was game.

Next thing I know she’s got my face on a wood head. I asked what the slots on top were for and to my horror, she showed me. I don’t remember much after the first kick to the balls, but I woke up soon after tied, and gagged with a nintendo wiimote duct taped to my mouth.

Needless to say, I’m very on edge.

An encore of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is on TV tonight. How sweet would it be to watch it here, in a Terminator themed theater. Answer: It would be awesome. Second only to Linda Hamilton bearing your child and raising him to be the leader of the resistance.

Darren Mortenson put it all together himself. The picture shows a television, but there’s also a projector so he can watch movies at a cool 159″. Doing all the work himself even scored him CEDIA installer certification. All in all, it’s pretty awesome. He got that Sky Net machine look down perfect.

Check out a few more pics after the jump.

From the “Oh My How Low Has This Celebrity Gone” Department comes word that sexy bombshell Carmen Electra has signed a worldwide arraignment with UK based women’s brand Peekaboo to stick her name on a new dance pole you can install at home. It’s called the Electra-Pole Professional Pole Kit.

Peekaboo says its three pole kit is stable enough for you to flaunt it like Carmen would (if she had much of a career left). It comes with an assembly DVD (we’d prefer demonstration DVD ourselves) and storage bag. Price? Around $130.

The former Baywatch babe is also set to become “the face of the Peekaboo brand worldwide.” You go Carmen – bring us some of that Peekaboo-described “cheeky, sexy fun!”

The beer-launching mini-fridge will save you the effort and hassle of leaving your couch to get another beer. The fridge has an auto-loading 10 beer magazine and can toss beers well over 10 feet. Launch and trajectory are controlled remotely with a modified keyless vehicle entry system.

Imagine the possiblilities if the guy that invented this teamed up with the potato gun guy to create some kind of fried-potato-launching device. I would never need to leave the house again.

Greatest. Invention. Ever.
