Ben and Jerry’s Euphori-Lock
Thanks to the Ben and Jerry’s Euphori-Lock – the chastity belt for ice cream – extremely neurotic ice cream enthusiasts can actually lock up their tubs of Ben and Jerry’s(?). Half the reason we included this on the coveted Hit List is because we’re curious as to who buys these things. The other half is because they make the perfect gift for that “DON’T TOUCH MY STUFF” freak we all know and secretly want to kill. At last, your psychotic “friends” who would find this thing useful can sleep at night, knowing that their Chunky Monkey ice cream will be waiting for them safely in the morning. And this is a perfect opportunity, by the way, to duct tape them to their bed. Pick up a Euphori-Lock for $5.50.

The Great Water
Dark, dank neighborhood bars are a dime a dozen in San Francisco, but why settle for some random bar with a sticky floor when you can go to a place where you have your own reusable mug? Oh yeah, because those random stanky bars rule and they let you smoke inside. The Great Water (373 Broadway in SF) keeps drunkards coming back via its ingenious 100 Beer Club, in which anyone who dares to dream of owning their very own mug stashed behind the bar must first drink 100 beers (within no time requirement). All records are maintained by the honor system, carefully filed in a giant folder behind the bar. While it sounds like a mean feat, The Great Water has an ample supply of exotic brews and changes them constantly. Saddle up. (Bar fact: The average beer served in a Bay Area bar costs $3.50. With a one dollar tip for each beer, it’ll cost you $450 to get a mug at The Great Water. Money well spent. Source: Math)

Hush Entertainment Party Buses> DVD
Wouldn’t bar-hopping be more fun without the lines of people, the traffic/parking nightmares and the cover charges? Hush Entertainment is offering a solution. For $40, Hush’s party buses will take you to five different San Francisco nightclubs (with stops at each bar every 30 minutes for bar-hopping). As long as you have your Hush passport, don’t worry about parking or drunk driving, forget waiting in line, and entrance to the clubs is FREE, well, after you pay your $40. The best part about it: Everyone gets to take a turn at driving the bus… on the sidewalk!! Kidding. Party (safely) on.”

Litter Box, The Website
Anyone who laughed at the cat scene from Clerks will love Grey and Black’s Litterbox Cam, a webcam devoted to delivering live footage of two cats, their food bowls and their two (covered) litter boxes. Cat haiku scrolls across the bottom: You never feed me/Perhaps I’ll sleep on your face/That will sure show you. No, it’s not the most exciting webcam ever, but it sure beats watching live footage of President Bush playing golf.

Hello Kitty “Fill in the Blanks” Psychological Test
There are thousands of self-help psychological tests on the web, ranging from absurd (“What Volkswagen Bug Are You?” on Emode.com) to highbrow (the Mensa IQ test). Yet none can match the sheer brilliance of the Hello Kitty “Fill In The Blanks” Psychological Test. A product of Japanese company Sanrio, the test asks the user to look at a series of odd illustrations (a beetle in a cage, a smiling mushroom), as well as asking yes or no questions translated from Japanese (“You are interested to any showbiz gossips”) to find out your stress level type. Let Hello Kitty be your guide to true Zen happiness/insanity.
