CrazyPC 5.25-Inch Bay Toaster
We're all familiar with gamers who never leave their computer stations. However, is this new hard drive toaster taking it a bit too far for those gamers who "crave toast"? The toaster fits in a standard 5.25 inch bay on your PC tower, and includes software for adjusting temperature as well as a "crumb tray for easy cleanup". Last I checked, gamers don't eat dry toast. This means you'll still need to trek over to the fridge for some butter or jam. Lucky for you, Mac users, your version is on the way. No word on if you'll be able to attach to your laptop. Oh, and don't forget--bread not included. [via The Presurfer]...Coming Soon to Charm City Cakes: Duff Goldman Action Figure
Photograph of Duff Goldman from Wikipedia; Photograph of action figure from Action Figure Insider Duff Goldman, star of Food Network's Ace of Cakes and head baker at Baltimore's Charm City Cakes, can now add "immortalized as an action figure" to his list of accomplishments. This isn't your run-of-the-mill action figure modeled after a baker—Duff's accessories include "two of the shop’s signature cakes, a drill-powered mixer, a chainsaw, wooden spoon, spatula, guitar and flame-thrower!" The action figure made by Diamond Select Toys will be available through Charm City Cakes this fall. [via Food Network Addict]...Wooden, Eco-Friendly Veggie Cutting Sets for Kids
How will your little one prepare for future food media greatness? With this 18-piece Veggie Cutting Set by ImagiPLAY Toys for $24. While the chopping simulation activates those young motor skills, it could also confuse the divide between food and toys. Little Simon was always told to eat his veggies, but then one day he choked. Other than the swallowing factor, the fake produce looks pretty cool. Fastened together by velcro, pieces can be reshuffled to create new veggie hybrids. Little Simon choked on a tomato-shroom!

"I make little kids happy and big kids mad." -New Wave Nigel The iconic "energy dome" made famous by New Wave band Devo in its "Whip It" music video and various stage performances is a look you want to steal so badly, but take lessons from McDonald's—don't. As part of an American Idol–themed line of Happy Meal toys, McDonald's introduced New Wave Nigel. He may look so 1980s mod in his orange jumpsuit, fuchsia shades, and energy dome, but this Devo-ian imitation is not flattering the band, which is now suing the the chain. "Plus, we don't like McDonald's," bassist Gerald Casale told Australian Associated Press. Casale designed the upside-down flower-pot hat, which is both copyrighted and trademarked.

Little kids like Legos, and putting things in their mouths. How convenient that Kellogg's Lego fruit snacks exist to confuse toddlers that bite-sized toys sometimes come in squishy, gummy bear-like textures that really can be digested. Is this the start of edible jacks and chess pieces? And a mommy uproar? [Via Penny Arcade] After the jump, a cartoon where perplexed normal Legos attempt to make sense of these gelatinous cousins....Plush Teacups
I didn't know I wanted a cuddle-able teacup until I saw this adorable plush teacup made by Teresa at Sewing Stars. It may not be useful (although I think the property of "making me smile" is useful enough), but I still want it. Badly. I also like her tired, somewhat unhappy-looking coffee mugs; it's just like real-life! Buy Teresa's crafty goods at Sewing Stars before your favorite item sells out! (Looking at it now, the teacups are gone, but there are some coffee mugs left.)
