Chatman the talking USB emoticon (distantly related to Pac-Man) is a cute little guy that likes to throw in his two cents about conversations you might be having on any one of the major IM platforms. His eyes, ears, arms and mouth also animate while he speaks.
Congratulations to Adam Brauner and Josh Motto—the lucky winners of Garbage Pail Kids wall and laptop graphics from LTL Prints. Even if you didn’t win, GPK fans should consider picking one up. They look great (I mean, not in a classy way or anything. More like a dorm room, den, a place where visitors don’t normally go kind of way).
Lunch Punch’s Match and Munch sandwich cutters do more than just eliminate crusts, they allow your kids to piece together unholy puzzle sandwich combinations. Ordinarily, PB&J doesn’t fit with tuna fish, but they will lock together perfectly here into a devastating pukeular puzzle food bomb.

This pillow with sewn-in gloves is designed for kids, but I’m sure it would be great for anyone feeling a bit sleepy and/or chilly. Plus it looks like to be a sure-gripped hug substitute.
If you were wondering how one of those Garbage Pail Kids graphics we are giving away would actually look on your wall or laptop, I have put together a gallery that might help clear things up. More specifically, I peeled and stuck the 4-foot Atom Bomb graphic in increasingly random and inappropriate spots in my home, and, in some cases, juxtaposed it with what is traditionally considered to be “fine art.” In the end, you just might find that art featuring humorously-named, comically mutated children is just as valid.
Mattel’s first ever folding Hot Wheels are set to hit stores in August, and by the looks of things, they are going to be a definite must-have. “Steath Rides” as they have been dubbed, can be folded into a compact form that’s similar to a credit card in size and about as thick as an average cellphone. At the push of a button, the flat car will transform into a remote controlled vehicle.
Yesterday, when I posted on the Pac-Man (or “Puckman” as it were) bookshelf, I asked what you could use for the ghosts in your little display of gaming wall art. It looks like ginepro design has thought of that as well. The ghostly lamp is a wall sconce that would be the perfect complement to your Pac-Man bookshelf, or just flanking that Garbage Pail Kids wall graphic you have over your couch. So you live alone for a few more years. So what?
Just a reminder that there is still time to enter and win our Garbage Pail Kids contest. The grand prize winner will receive one 4-foot Atom Bomb wall graphic and one Hot Head Harvey laptop graphic. All you need to do to enter is send an email to contests@nerdapproved.com with “Garbage Pail Kids Contest” in the subject line. In the body, add your shipping information. Alternatively you could become a fan of the new Nerd Approved Facebook page and simply comment in the contest thread. The last day to enter is January 31st. Good luck, and make sure to check out LTL Prints for all 77 Garbage Pail Kids graphic designs.
So, what are the ghosts? Your wife and kids complaining about the shows you watch? Seriously though, the “Puckman” could be the most awesome bookshelf ever constructed. It’s available in glossy white and black, but you would be a fool not to get yellow.
