Zzzz…Zzzz…Zzzz…SONIC BOOM!

Are you a deep sleeper? Have you ever overslept and missed something incredibly important? Did it haunt you, preventing you from sleeping restfully for months? Maybe you need to take some drastic measures.

While it might cause some new stresses in your life, you’ll never have to worry about oversleeping again with the Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock! This morning menace will blast you out of bed with up to 113 decibels of volume and an included vibrating bed shaker to position under your mattress (113 decibels is the max volume and it’s not recommended; it’s around the same volume as a jackhammer). ThinkGeek currently has it for $39.99, before $5 off $25 coupon code 8EBB (expires 9/30) lowers it to $34.99. Shipping adds $8.95.

Like it or not, weddings can be crazy affairs. Whether you’re meeting former frat brothers, drunken uncles, or jealous sisters, you never really know what to expect.

One thing you can count on, however, is that if you see one of these Wedding Cake Toppers adorning the cake, someone in attendance probably has a shotgun in their car (quite possibly the bride or groom), and may want to kick off the reception with a bang.

These Wedding Cake Decorations for the avid sportsman or sportswoman are now available at APicturePerfectWedding.com for $75. Choose between deer hunter, goose hunter, duck hunter (pictured), or plain-old hunter, in either white or ivory. Plus, you can add hunting hats and camouflage (and really, why wouldn’t you?) for just $10 each, as well as put a gun in the bride’s hands for $8 (it’s her wedding too, she deserves it). Shipping adds $13.99.

If you need a gift for the “person who has everything” and really want to “blow them away,” boy do we have the right gift for you.

Get them a trip to the site of the worst environmental disaster in recorded human history, Chernobyl! SAM Travel now offers tours of the infamous Ukrainian nuclear plant that experienced a meltdown of enormous proportions over 20 years ago. On the tour, you’ll be escorted from Kiev to the descending zones surrounding Chernobyl: the exclusion zone, the estrangement zone, and the 10km zone directly outside of the plant. You’ll also get to see surrounding ghost towns, the so-called Red Forest (which changed color after the accident), and more.

SAM Travel offers these 10-hour Chernobyl tours (with both English and Russian-speaking tour guides) at descending price points based on the size of your party: one person for $538, two for $280 per traveler, three is $213 per traveler, four is $165 per person, etc. The tour includes lunch.  Let’s hope three-eyed fish is not the special of the day.

When you walk into any given room in your home, what does it say? Does it say artsy? Craftsy? Messy? Creepy? I’m guessing it doesn’t say nerdy, at least not until you get some of these Nintendo Wall Graphics. Featuring piranha plants, coins, mushrooms, Koopa Troopas, Starmen, and those famous Italian plumbers, the set includes everything you’ll need to let guests know you spent your childhood, and perhaps most of college, indoors.

These are currently available at ThinkGeek.com for $74.99, before $10 off $50 coupon code 8EBB lowers that price to $64.99. There are three sets available: Classic Super Mario Bros. (pictured), Donkey Kong, or New Mario Bros. Each set includes three 26′ x 40′ sheets of restickable vinyl decals. Shipping starts around $9.

Remember that old Saturday Night Live skit where Dan Akroyd plays a sleazy toy manufacturer? He sold products like Johnny Switchblade, Bag O’ Glass, and Halloween costumes like The Human Torch and The Invisible Pedestrian to unsuspecting children. Well, this is kind of like that.

The Flaming Footbag is pretty self-explanatory. It’s a hacky sack made of Kevlar armor which you then soak in kerosene, light on fire, and kick around with your pals. Freedom Footbags has them for $24.99 each (shipping adds $4 more). Be sure to check out the demonstration here. Oh, and be careful, too.

Ever read Cyrano de Bergerac? Ever seen Roxanne? A poetically gifted man with a nose the size of a battleship helps a much dimmer, though better-looking man woo the very same woman with whom he is in love. Eventually, he confesses his own love and they live happily ever after. Sound absurd? It is. It really couldn’t happen in real life, but that shouldn’t stop us from reenacting it at every party!

X-Treme Geek now has these Pick Your Nose Party Cups on sale for only $7.99, plus around $7 shipping. Each package comes with 24 disposable cups featuring 12 different noses. While not all of them are Cyrano sized, all of them offer the possibility to briefly step into a new face without rhinoplasty and say, ‘who nose?’

Decorative soaps can often be a nice touch to any bathroom. Even if only esteemed guests are allowed to use them, they add a classic aesthetic quality to any restroom. Of course, then again, someone can always take a classic and turn it downright freaky. From the chillingly creepy file, StrangeDeals brings you this “Hand” Soap Set.

The lightly scented soaps, made from goat’s milk and vegetable glycerin, appear to resemble doll hands (perhaps even children’s hands), which can certainly add a distinct accent to your loo. They come in a decorative bag in sets of at least 10 individual soaps.

Foliage currently has this set on sale for only $17. Shipping adds $4. Everyone, give yourselves a hand for reading this entire post!
