Do you have way, way too much money and need to buy a gift for someone who's got everything? Look no further than Hammacher-Schlemmer, your one-stop-shop for completely insane, mega-expensive gifts. Ever wanted a Hootenany? What's that, you ask? Why it's a dozen instruments contained in a box and it plays itself, and it can be yours for the low, low price of $54,000! Are your kids bored with their Xbox One and PS4 already? Get them a water-blasting fire rescue game, only $10,000! This site has everything you could possibly imagine, from an underwater sports car ($2million) to a heated outdoor cat bed so you can pamper those noisy feral strays outside your house (no really, read the user reviews). For a modest $28,000 you can get a counterbalanced turntable, or for $300 you can get a Gomboc, a self-righting, object! It works so well, the product demo video refuses to show it right itself! A personal favorite is the 7-person tricycle, and it's just as insane as it sounds:  That's not a photoshop, folks. And the "in use" shot is even more hilarious:  What could be more insane than a tricycle that seats 7? A 17-person man-powered vehicle meant to be used in conjunction with alcohol, the Pedal Pub:  Because nothing says "safety" like nearly 20 people with impaired judgment on a moving vehicle. Seriously this website is a goddamn goldmine.

quote:The machine stores 13,000 MIDI, MP3, and Karaoke songs that are selected using a 15" touchscreen interface, allowing the operator to choose from 10 music categories, including big band, rock, blues, jazz, bluegrass, children’s songs, and more. The rhythm section relies on a bass and snare drum, augmented by 12 auxiliary percussion instruments, including bongos, agogos, woodblocks, tambourine, maracas, cowbell, and a ride, crash, and splash cymbal. Supported by a bass synthesizer that adds plenty of bottom for each tune, a full-size guitar and banjo provide the melody and harmony for classics such as A Hard Day's Night and 99 Red Balloons. Plugs into AC. gently caress yeah

I've usually seen them on beaches and boardwalks and usually what happens is that they idle in one spot while people drink and then once there are enough people the sober bartender guy steers them along towards clubs and bars that pay him to feed them drunk tourists.

For that last on op, there is one person not pedalling that does the stearing. There are few companies in Portland that use those for brew cycling.

I'm surprised that bike bar is allowed, seeing as it basically amounts to drunk driving, or at least driving with an open container. After all, DUI laws still apply to bicyclists. Hell, a friend of mine got a DUI for being drunk in a kayak.

I guess it gets away on a technicality because the sober bartender is the one who actually controls the steering; everyone else is just providing horsepower also being drunk in a kayak is probably not a good idea, those things are dicks when you're sober

Is there anything more embodying the american dream than a business that buys the leftover stock from wholesale importers and sells it to rich people by adding extra 0s at the end of the price? I feel like these guys and Skymall should be made honorary presidents.
