Mug Shot

Turning heads when you walk down the street is nothing new. A mug like yours is hard to miss. But now that handsome face is going to attract some extra attention on the sidewalk. Immersive Labs has developed facial detection software for digital billboards that can measure the age range, gender and attention-level of a passer-by. They can even tailor ads based on your features, so don’t be surprised when you start seeing ads for things like Persol Roadster Sunglasses, Nub Cigars, and Sir Richard’s Condoms. Even Madison Ave can recognize a catch when they see one.

So Americana You’ll Spit

Back when you played in the Minors (before your groin pull—that damn thing is always getting you into trouble), you used to savor those moments in the dugout. The smell of freshly cut grass and pine tar. The taste of last night’s whisky still mingling on your tongue as you shoved fistfuls of sunflower seeds into your mouth. Plus that rack of BBQ ribs you had for breakfast. It really doesn’t get any more Americana than that. Relive those dugout days with Jim Beam Sunflower Seeds ($2.00). They start with premium, American-grown sunflower seeds that are specially selected, then touched with Genuine Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon and roasted to perfection, available in Barbeque or Jalapeno. We’re pretty sure if Norman Rockwell were still around today he’d be suckin’ ‘em down and spittin’ them out by the caseload.

One Impressive Tool

You’re no Octomom (though you’ve both been strippers, you never did it because you needed the money), but now you can grill like one…sort of. Multitask to your heart’s content with the Stake 3-In-1 BBQ Tool ($29.00) from Quirky. This tool can be whatever you want it to be. It’s got locking tongs, an extendable grill fork, a serrated cutting edge, and of course, it works as a spatula. So fire up the Element Grill and grab your Bad Jew BBQ Sauce. This 3-in-1 tool is not afraid to get sticky. Much like Octomom. (Did we take that one too far?)
