Just before dawn on Tuesday, beachcombers in Siesta Key, Florida discovered an 8ft tall Legoman lying on the beach. The mysterious figure had the phrase “no real than you are” emblazoned on its chest and the name “Ego Leonard” on its back. A search of the name leads to this website, but why the massive figure was floating in the water remains unknown, and Ego has yet to respond to emails seeking comment.
Strangely enough, this has happened before. In 2007, an almost-identical figure was discovered in the Netherlands, followed by another a year later in England. The police were called to the scene after the discovery, and confiscated the figure. If the owner of the Legoman doesn’t step forward within 30 days, it will be given to the person who made the initial discovery.
Check out some videos of the finds after the break.
Although the sight of an inflatable will most likely give way to fond memories of beach vacations and sexual relief, few realize that they can also serve a myriad of other purposes. They can point out nerds, exploit a tragedy, waist natural resources and terrorize your town in the form of a giant rolling turd. Next time you throw a party or go to a sporting event, dispense with the traditional beach ball and consider employing one of these 10 baffling inflatables instead.
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.
If your snowmen look more like Beavis and less like three perfectly graduated balls, it’s time to invest in a Willysphere. These tools can quickly make perfect spheres out of sand or snow, and are offered in varying widths to create a variety of different sizes. Minutes of fun will follow when you create snowmen, sandmen, snowballs, sandballs, a giant pair of buttcheeks, or a pair of geometrically perfect breasts using Willysphere’s unique sombrero shape as the perfect nipple shaped topper. They aren’t available in the US yet, but keep your eyes peeled, because they should be soon.
Sick of having to turn your head when it’s time to get a back tan? This Ostrich 3 in 1 chair has a convenient face flap and arm holes that allow you to read through the chair while the sun gets to work ravaging your skin. And with its concealing foam facial cushions, you also give strangers the ability to check out your ass without the possibility of awkward eye contact. Everyone’s a winner!
Any product that makes my life even a tad better is something I need to support. And so it is with his tube of suntan lotion. Not only does it provide UV protection, it also has a built in bottle opener. I am not going to debate which function is more important for beach relaxation, I am just content that someone who works in product design has my needs in mind.
It’s Friday—the kind of day where you half-ass it and daydream until quittin’ time. These “Find It” desktop games will make the time past faster and ensure that you are never tempted to do any real work. Inside each tube there are 40 items hidden among a mass of multi-colored plastic pellets. The items to be found in each tube focus on a central theme, like sports, the zoo, the beach and birds. The game also includes a check off pad to keep track of your findings. An additional image is available after the break.
It is getting to be that time of year again when your thoughts will turn to the beach. Start accessorizing your home to get yourself in that mindset—and the Life Guard Chair Napkin Holder is a logical first step. You won’t get lifeguard protection or a view of bikini clad women, but it will put those thoughts in the forefront of your mind.
I can’t think of anything more appealing during the winter than dreaming of a relaxing day at the beach. A warm beach. Something that looks a lot like where this wine bottle must be lounging.
