If you were lucky enough to not owe the government after this tax season then your tax refund is on its way! I received mine over the weekend and immediately started making a list of the most ridiculous stuff I could buy with it. I know I should put it toward bills, a vacation or a sweet new iMac, but who wouldn't want the best of the best of the worst gadgets out there? Normal people? What would YOU buy?

A Snuggie

All the cool kids are doing it. I’d want one so I could look just as bad ass as this guy. Wait…what? This doesn’t make you bad ass? Well hundreds of people have been misinformed!

I guess my only motivation for buying one now would be so I could sneak into these snuggie pub crawls and punch every single person wearing one.

Would I have to punch myself?

Recycled Rubber Doormat

After a long day of kicking trees, burning paper and crushing styrofoam, I could come home and wipe my feet off on this $30 recycled piece of rubber. And people say I’m not Earth-friendly.

Working

Wait, what? Oh, right. That’s because I didn’t get a tax credit. I owed… A lot. So now I have to work extra hard to get back everything I owed. Which also means I’m going to owe even more for 2009. Oh, what an endless cycle.

Festo Aqua Penguin

Who wouldn’t want a penguin robot (robot penguin?)?! They can navigate themselves, communicate with their environment and swim backwards! BACKWARDS! Real penguins can’t do that! I could have an army of penguins!

Grass Wheel

Created by three Dalhousie School of Architecture students, the grass wheel allows for shoe-free traveling. Who waters the grass? Would I have to mow it? How well does it handle turns? What if there are ants in the grass and they fall on my head? Oh god…what if I’m attacked by dandelions?! I guess that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

The Earlight

I like to be taken seriously as a geek and this is a serious piece of hardware! I cannot begin to tell you how often I’m reading in the dark and wish that a light would mysteriously appear from my ear! This would only be better if the light came from my eyes. Like laser beams. Pew. Pew.

I WISH I got a tax refund! This was the first year I actually owed money. As if I haven’t given the government enough already by being such an upstanding citizen!
