summer

With summer bearing down on us, the time is ripe to get your water arsenal ready for refreshing backyard combat. This Aqua Force Crossbow will get the job done with its pull-and-release action that fires water balloons up to 80 feet. In addition, the weapon includes 50 water balloons and a vinyl target, as well as an upper body workout that will help prepare your flabby body for the beach.

Swimming is a tremendous workout, but if you are looking to avoid anything that even resembles physical effort while relaxing in the pool this summer, I suggest picking up one of these Pool Jet mini Sea Scooters to propel yourself from the floating pool chair to the area where the ladder is. If only they had one of those moving seats to lift you out of the pool like old people have to help them get up stairs.

Great White Pool Predator

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.

kool-light-o-scope

There are countless options when it comes to tricking out your pool with lights, but the Kool-light-o-scope takes things a step further with spinning LEDs that “create continually changing patterns of light and color on the bottom and sides of your pool.” Basically it turns your pool into a wet disco and / or a giant drug-free trip.

This is a nice change from the norm. While the warmer weather is a welcome change from the cold winter we have had, it does bring out a whole slew of insects. But these particular insects are not going to land on your food, sting you or just gross you out in general. All they are going to do is to provide you with a gentle, cool breeze. Most useful insects I have come across in a while.

What better way is there to cool off from the summer heat than jumping on a 13ft Big Wave Trampoline? It’s all fun and games until someone breaks an ankle, gets knocked unconscious and drowns in an inch or two of water.
