Vroooom!

It’s utterly ridiculous to look at, but brilliant and hilarious at the same time.  A motor-uni-cycle? Obviously Ben Gulak spent his teens doing more than stoning out to “The Wall” in his basement bedroom.
Created as an antidote to the smog-inducing, carbon-belching motorbikes your favorite uncle rode to make your grandparents angry, Gulak crafted an [...]

Emo jacket for the movies

 
Emo jacket for the movies (emo boy not included)
As awesome and dumb as this thing is, I couldn’t help but be disappointed by the last part of the article:
If you are wondering whether the jacket comes with matching pants, the answer is no. We can guess why, especially when things start vibrating down south.

this is an instant classic for internet nerds and tech geek slackers. And probably for anyone who organizes their desktop in such a way that they might never be able to find their files again. You can’t “sort by penis” by the way.
