If you like to eat, at some point you are going to need to cut stuff up. You could use your knife right on the countertop, but then your wife will gripe at you about annoying stuff like germs and nicks on the counter. What you need to avoid getting yelled at and to cut up that perfectly cooked steak is a cutting board.
You could get a lame plastic one down at Walmart or you can get the Awesome Mix Vol. 2 cutting board, courtesy of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy merchandising folks.
This thing measures 12″ x 8″ and is made from glass, so it’s heat resistant up to 350-degrees, and won’t retain germs. It will let you slice and dice like Star-Lord probably would if Marvel heroes ever ate other than in post-credit scenes. You can get one on ThinkGeek for $14.99(USD).
Chess is a thinking man’s game. It means that to play it well, you’ve got to be all intellectual and smart and stuff. Even kings play it – with real people on their lawn. You have to have a classy chess set if you want to keep up appearances. Well, this Stained Glass Chess Set is ohhhh so pretty and expensive looking. Classy as hell. And glassy as hell.
Game designer KnowNothing_JonSnoo received it as a birthday gift from his father, who is a stained glass artist. I would be too afraid that I would break it if I played a game on it’s lovely surface. Sure enough, he keeps it on a high shelf when he’s not playing with it for now, but one day it will have its own dedicated table when his sons grow up enough not to trash it.
That is one beautiful chess set.
I don’t know anything about wine other than what I have seen on TV. I learned there that wine snobs like to sniff it, swish it, and sometimes spit it out. I don’t even know if that is true or not, but it must be with this new product that landed on Kickstarter called the Wine Glass Mask.
It’s a wine glass shaped to fit over the face like a mask. It has holes in the sides to let air inside when you take a big whiff of wine smell. I guess smelling the wine makes it taste better. I wonder if this works with grape juice.
The Wine Glass Mask is on Kickstarter and it is looking to raise $78,000 and so far things are a bit meager at the fundraising table. As of this writing, just $366 of that goal has been raised with 24 days to go. A single glass will sell for $15 with clear or blue versions offered. If the project funds, it’s expected to ship in June.
