Remember that instant beach ball I posted the other day? Well, this 10-foot version is waaaaaaay on the other end of the spectrum. When deflated, it’s not going to fit in any portable can—unless you consider rolling an oil drum down the street “portable.” It’s also the kind of thing you are going to need an air compressor for. Hell, fill it up with helium and you might be able to get airborne.
The Blow Couch is a super simple concept that utilizes old dunnage bags (inflatable bags used for shipping) and supports them with a metal rack and some rubber straps. It probably doesn’t have a high weight limit, but it would be really easy to transport. It’s the kind of thing I can picture taking on a camping trip but, alas, it is only in the prototype phase at the moment.
Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of January 11th-17th, 2010:
Giant Inflatable D20: The D&D nerd’s beach ball.
Magnetic, Floating LED Display: Puts your beer on a pedestal.
Creepsicles / Evil Icecream / Ice Clown: This ice cream is made with pure sugar…and evil.
Resin Bathing Couple Cellphone/Gadget Holder: A bathtub threesome between two matches and your cellphone.
1.0″ LCD Guitar Shaped Car MP3 Player FM Transmitter: Let a guitar bring music to your car.
Break out this giant inflatable D20 and get ready for full contact, live action D&D that allows you to actually feel your character’s pain as you rewrite the rules for hit points. A D20 in the face is one hit point, while a D20 in the crotch is seven hit points with the added humiliation and laughter penalty.
As if you needed another sign that society is headed in the wrong direction, take the stupid products people spend their money on. Every year they get stupider and stupider, but we are right there to spend our hard earned dollar. Why? Because poop never stops being funny and it’s hard to resist a “limited edition.” So, without further ado, here is Part I of the epic master list of the stupidest products of 2009.
Unless you’re a pothead or the owner of an extermination company, you never want to hear the words “roach” and “house” in the same sentence. However, if you want, you can now harness the butt-ugliness of a cockroach to destroy your appetite and display your child’s latest finger paint masterpiece with this set of four refrigerator magnets.

Even though a public swimming pool can’t compete with the beach, you can still take a boogie board in the water and experience a shark attack (of sorts) thanks to this Great White pool predator. This 29″ inflatable shark packs a bladder in its gills which turns it into a giant squirt gun when filled, soaking targets with a spray of chlorine and child piss. And if that still doesn’t give you a beach feeling, then you can always count on slaps in the face when you ogle women, and those wonderful feelings of inadequacy when you show your body in a swimsuit. That alone makes me feel like I’m there.
