Geek Spy: Earphone Speaker Keychain


I was just thinking to myself that I hadn't found a good Geek Spy in a while when @randomraj shows me this little gem. Are you always losing your keys? This keychain will make it rather hard for you to lose your keys seeing as it's attached to a giant earphone speaker..

On to the details as described by the website:

The Earphone Speaker Keychain is a great little when-the-mood-strikes-you speaker for your music player of choice. It fits into any standard 1/8" headphone jack, and sounds quite crisp and clear. Keep it on your keyring, your backpack, the zipper of your favorite jacket - anywhere you might want it when listening to music. The speaker part just pops in and out of the keychain part for easy use. The Earphone Speaker Keychain will make sure you always have a speaker at hand for all those important music moments.

Katy Beary



There are many reasons for me to dislike Katy Perry's latest hit, California Gurls -- consciously bad spelling, for one, irritates the editor in me, while the celebration of the western state of California grates against my East-coast allegiance. But if you hear the damn tune enough times on American radio, you start to get hooked. So hooked that you may, shamefully and covertly mind you, log on to Youtube at work to listen to the song as a mid-day pick-me-up (it's undeniable!). And while you're catching glimpses of the Candyland-inspired video (by the way, Fergie called, she wants her music video set back), you might be fooled into thinking that Katy Perry reads Hong Kong Fashion Geek. After all, she does encounter giant gummy bears, of the ilk once described on this very blog.

What's even funnier, which I discovered while googling "Katy Perry gummy bear" to find an appropriate screenshot, is that thanks to a little gratuitous-yet-graphic finger-pointing, both Trolli and Haribo have denied any affiliation with Katy Perry and/or the fabulous-fingered gummies.

Says the Haribo spokesperson: "We were as shocked as Katy Perry [in the video] when we saw on closer inspection that these were not Haribo Goldbears but poor imitations. After all, Haribo Goldbears are happy, fun and sweet, not rude and crude!" As for the blame-pushing Trolli guy: "Trolli bears would extend their chubby little arms and give Katy a big old bear hug and whisper, 'Everything is going to be all right."

Ironically, gummy bears don't even have fingers, as Perry herself pointed out: "So they just give their paw thing, but we still had to blur it out. I thought it was really cute, and I like that Gummi Bears are really evil." The bears act as an army defending candy kingpin Snoop Dogg... just be careful he doesn't get the munchies.

Blood Lust



It seems like Geeks aren't the only fans of True Blood... the incomparable Snoop Dogg has just immortalized Mizz Sookie Stackhouse in his anthem, Oh Sookie. (Maybe not "just" though, this is like a month old I think.) Besides the fact that this song features the best lyrics EVER (Bill ain't for real / he ain't true blood / Snoop is a G / I smoke true bud), there are also a million other reasons to watch this youtube vid in excruciating detail...

For example, the fact that Snoop rocks both a statement necklace (trend alert!) and a multi-finger ring (multi trend alert!) emblazoned with the word SOOKIE. Or the fact that, despite being unwilling to give Snoop a role on the show, True Blood mastermind Alan Ball did allow the rapper to film on the actual set, at Merlotte's. A favour which Snoop repays by saying, of Merlotte's owner, "Sam ain't a man he done turned into a bitch." Which seems a liiiittle unfair from a guy who's name is Snoop DOGG and who is wearing a brown fur coat. Mr Dogg essentially spends the rest of the song convincing the coveted Miss Stackhouse to go to bed with him in the daytime, just as five Sookie wannabes gyrate and grind in the background. The lyrics are typically dirty and offensive, but given the subject matter (a sex and violence-filled TV show), it's arguably no worse than maenad-induced orgies on the beach.

Oh and before we go to the lyrics after the cut, let's take a moment to appreciate the gratuitous addition of the buxom "Fangbanger," who is meant to be a sexy embodiment of a generic vampire-loving slut, but strangely reminds me more of the character Pubes from Conan O' Brien.

[Intro]
I wanna do bad things with you
I wanna do real bad things with you

What’s happenin’ Sookie
It’s Snoop Dogg
I’m only in Bon Temps for one day
Come close baby
I’m the Dogg that don’t bite
Woof, woof

[Chorus]
Oh Sookie
Let me get in your head
Oh Sookie
We can lay in the bed
Oh Sookie
Choose a player like me
Do it in the daytime with the D-O double G
Oh Sookie
Can I take you away
Oh Sookie
You ever been to LA?
Oh Sookie
Come and play on my team
Oh Sookie
We’ll do it in the daytime
Bill won’t know a thing

Oh Sookie
Take this mary jay cookie
And roll with the Dogg, vampires can’t hook me
You outta Bon Temps
You need a Bon pimp
A real Don Juan
You might get whipped
Yellow cars ain’t fly
So hop in my jet
Try to read my mind
You might get wet
Choose big or lose big
I know all the spots
Then order you a gin and juice at Merlotte’s

[Chorus]
Oh Sookie
Let me get in your head
Oh Sookie
We can lay in the bed
Oh Sookie
Choose a player like me
Do it in the daytime with the D-O double G
Oh Sookie
Can I take you away
Oh Sookie
You ever been to LA?
Oh Sookie
Come and play on my team
Oh Sookie
We’ll do it in the daytime
Bill won’t know a thing

Leave a stain on my brain
Can a dog get some love
Won’t trick you like Eric
And make you drink blood
Sookie Stackhouse but Snoop he stack a grip
Sam ain’t a man he done turned into a bitch
Bill ain’t for real
He ain’t True blood
Snoop is a G
I smoke true bud
Wanna be a vampire
Gotta listen up
I hit you with a glamor
I think you wanna suck these nuts

[Chorus]
Oh Sookie
Let me get in your head
Oh Sookie
We can lay in the bed
Oh Sookie
Choose a player like me
Do it in the daytime with the D-O double G
Oh Sookie
Can I take you away
Oh Sookie
You ever been to LA?
Oh Sookie
Come and play on my team
Oh Sookie
We’ll do it in the daytime
Bill won’t know a thing

See Sookie
You should come try some of this
You know I get more pussy than your brother
Oh yeah and bring a friend
Matter fact bring your best friend, Tara
I got some real eggs for her to eat
And these eggs come with a whole lot of cheese and greens
