Handerpants seem to be fingerless gloves that looks suspiciously like tidy-whities.
You can get a pair for just $12 here.  Oh, there’s a Handerpants ringtone for your mobile phone too.
Other than the awkwardness, I only see one downside.  I’d be afraid to get them dirty…because I wouldn’t want skid marks on my gloves.

Mr. Boozy the liquor squirrel

Posted by: Dave In: Food & Drink| Shopping| Weird

Mr Boozy is always ready for the party.
I’m not sure how I feel about drinking booze from the neck of a small defenseless woodland creature.
Regardless, you can find many more oddities of taxidermy here.

The Sno-Baller

Posted by: Dave In: Gadgets| Shopping

Friends south of the Mason-Dixon line will not truly understand the importance this wonderful device. However, all of my north eastern and mountain state pals will see just how awesome the Sno-Baller would be in a snowball fight.

Amazon sells DRM-free music downloads

Posted by: Dave In: Music| Shopping

So iTunes is about to get a whooping if they don’t do something about their DRM.  Amazon is creeping up behind them with a sack full of nickels.
iTunes just became my second digital music store of choice.  Same price, no DRM.  Amazon, you win.
Amazon’s MP3 service.
