Shopping by Category at ThemeMania.com

THEMEMANIA.COM is a shopping website that is trying to make it easy for you to buy something for that special someone who is hard to shop for.

Instead of presenting all their shopping items out by price or product category – all the items available for sale at ThemeMania are listed by shopping theme.   That is, all the sushi-related items are lumped together, the religion-related items are groups in one place, the angels stuff is all together, and so on.

So if you know you’re looking for something in a particular area of interest but have no idea what type of item to get from that area, ThemeMania should be on your list of places to stop by and see.

Playboy’s List of Top Party Schools

Playboy started publishing a list of the TOP PARTY SCHOOLS back in 1987. That list was created from surveys of students, and was fairly straightforward. 15 years later in 2002, Playboy published an updated Top Party Schools list.

For their first list in 1987, Playboy surveyed “club leaders, dorm rush chairmen, fraternity presidents, and other campus socialites” at more than 250 college campuses across the country, and compiled this student-generated list of which schools were the BIGGEST PARTY SCHOOLS at the time. 

 Here are the 40 entries on PLAYBOY’S 1987 LIST OF TOP PARTY SCHOOLS:

Derek’s Big Archive of Wal-Mart Purchase Receipts

Derek has a lot of time on his hands.

Derek spends a lot of time at Wal-Mart.

Derek also likes to keep his Wal-Mart receipts on-line for us to see.

DEREK’S BIG WEBSITE OF WAL-MART RECEIPTS is a complete list of every Wal-Mart purchase Derek has made since 1996 – combined with visitor commentary on his purchases.

It’s just like we were sitting in the Wal-Mart parking lot making fun of the customers as they leave the store, but without the risk of being run off by those elderly greeters. Again.

Flash Fun: Miniature Golf and Rock-n-Roll Lemmings

There’s nothing better for taking a quick break during the day than a nice relaxing round of miniature golf.

Some think that miniputt online can be a worthy challenge.  Be sure to try the classic minigolf style found at ELECTROTANK.

While we’re talking about classic games, do you remember the addictive mid-90’s PC game LEMMINGS, where you had to get hundreds of mindless animals from point A to point B without killing them? If you liked that, you should give the BBC version of LEMMINGS, called “ROADIES” a try.  In this variation, you need to get hundreds of mindless backstage rockers to their next gig in safety.

2002’s Sexiest Geek Alive

The 2002 “SEXIEST GEEK ALIVE” was announced yesterday at Austin’s annual SXSW show. 12,000 men and women applied, and it was narrowed down to 8 finalists. The winner this year is Chad Briggs. Winning involved a talent segment, an interview, and an online test – which is available on the website.

The test includes four categories (math/science; computers/programming; nerd culture; science fiction) and questions such as, “What is the half-life of a free neutron?” and “What medical condition is primarily responsible for preventing Homer Simpson from being a genius?”

Ellen Spertus, 33, of San Francisco, the 2001 winner, took the crown by wearing a corset made of circuit boards and counting in binary on her hands.  Ellen was unable to answer the question about how many processors were available in her house, as she claims to own too many to count, what with her bread machine, electric car, and other electronic devices.

This year’s contest included a contestant playing jazz piano while lying down on the bench and reaching backward over the keyboard, and another giving a PowerPoint slide presentation on speaking Russian.

The Whirlpool Polara Oven

Remember Jason Alexander, the actor who played the character “George” on Seinfeld? One of his first acting roles — if you can call it that — was for the famous McDonald’s McDLT.  Let’s take a look:

Why do I bring this up?  because when it comes to keeping the “hot side hot, and the cool side cool”, nothing beat THE WHIRLPOOL POLARA OVEN.  It’s a refrigerator…inside your oven! 

It’s like a big giant crockpot, designed with food safety in mind.  Just put your raw food into the oven, and tell it what time to start cooking.  Your food will be kept safely refrigerator cool (no e.coli here!), and will be almost done cooking by the time you make it home from the office. 

And to think that watching this fancy stuff on The Jetsons was all futurey and stuff.
