bookend

Somebody obviously had enough experience with those conventional crap bookends to realize that in order to keep books standing at a 90 degree angle, you need to employ iron and steel in the form of a vise. That will teach those f’ers not to slant.

practice_saber_bokken

In the fantasy world of Star Wars it may make sense to let rank amateurs practice their dueling skills with real lightsabers. In the real world it is far too dangerous and expensive to give inexperienced students access to a real light saber when you can use this Practice Saber Bokken. The handle is identical to a light saber and the wooden blade is a perfect approximation to a real energy blade. Rather than losing a limb in practice this one will merely cause a bruise.

karate bookends

eReaders may be convenient, but that means no more karate bookends or crazy bookmarks. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live in a world where these magnificent products are no longer needed.

lightsaber-book-ends

Someone is obviously really pissed at books. Whether the culprit is from the side of good or evil, it wouldn’t take a whole lot of effort for them to slide a lightsaber through the stack of books. On the plus side, it will keep all those books standing up nice and straight. The final version is not complete, but the unpainted prototype above gives you a good idea of what is in store for this set of Lightsaber Bookends.

skunk-bookend-1

Typically, a skunk with his tail and rear end raised would be a warning sign. And one that you would be wise to heed if you don’t want to be taking a tomato juice bath. In the case of these bookends, it just gives them a little more leverage to hold your books up. Probably the one and only time you want to see a skunk’s ass held high in the air.

color-changing-goldfish.jpg

Flushed prematurely, this goldfish grew to a tremendous size in water adjacent to a nuclear plant. Exposure to radiation also left it with the unique ability to change color when exposed to water. Unfortunately, like most goldfish he won’t live long—about 40 hours in this case, so use him wisely! Put him in the punch bowl or in the pool at a party, or let him hang out in the bath when you want to relax.

Remember when David Copperfield (illusionist, entertainer, douche) “walked through” the Great Wall of China? These bookends are kind of like that, except the “Great Wall” can be a copy of War and Peace.

ticker-tape-bookends.jpg

The date was October 23rd, 1929. The tape on these stock market ticker bookends reads: Eastman Kodak (EK) at $218 1/8 and RCA at $68. The next day (Black Thursday) the stock market began a slide that would lead to the Great Depression. Saaaaayyy… October 24th is only a couple of weeks away—and Wall Street is currently spiraling out of control. Hahaha…ominous. Also available in business card, 6 and 13 inch versions.
