A few days ago, my coworker Dave acquainted me with a website called Think Geek: Stuff for Smart Masses. How did I seriously not already know about this place?! The stuff they sell is downright awesome. For example . . .
$99.99
This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, printed internal intestines, and a plush lightsaber zipper pull. Now when your kids tell you their favorite Star Wars movie is "Attack of the Clones" you can nestle the wee-ones snug in simulated Tauntaun fur while regaling them with the amazing tale of "Empire Strikes Back".
Use the plush lightsaber zipper pull on the Tauntaun sleeping bag to illustrate how Han Solo saved Luke Skywalker from certain death in the freezing climate of Hoth by slitting open the belly of a dead Tauntaun and placing Luke inside the stinking (but warm) carcass. If your kids don't change their tune on which Star Wars film is the greatest ever, you can do your best Jar Jar impression until they repent.

Um, I love ThinkGeek. Have you ever seen Mike's back "Meh" shirt? I got it there. They come up with crazy "April Fool's" type gadgets, too, and when they get crazy interest in one (because it's not real) they actually produce it. I think it would be my dream to write for them. :)
