My closest co-worker is a total sweetheart. She’s less than two foot tall, doesn’t shave, always sleeps on my desk in front of me, and her breath smells like tuna. We get on famously, so I really have no experience with office warfare or with the desire to ambush someone by the water cooler.
However, if you are more in touch with those feelings than you even care to admit, I have a post you’re going to love. It’s A LOT of fun and will give you some pretty remarkable ideas.
See The Office Arms Race, soldier, and go get ‘em.
Hmmmm. You know, a few of the ideas in this particular post are kind of inspiring me. See, I have a score to settle with my dentist… Mr. “This won’t hurt much..” – The last words I remember hearing right before my face was pulled off of my skull. I’m just not sure if I’ll set up a USB Missile Rocket Launcher beneath his desk or go at him head on with a Nerf N Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 Blaster.
Hehehe… ouch… heheh… ouch….

Make no mistake about it, I’m a first rate animal lover. Cats, polar bears, pigs, possums, sharks, birds, raccoons, dolphins, skunks, dogs… I approach life as though God has given all of them to me as my own personal pets. (Reptiles? Unwanted gifts but who am I to question God?) So, I go about my day watching, feeding, ooohing, awwing, petting, and trying to save & protect all of my… in the words of the great Elly Mae… critters.
If you, or someone you know, feels similarly, you’ll want to grab at least one of these beautiful Wave of Light Dolphins
from the Discovery Channel Store.
What a beauty!
From the website: Bring the calmness of the sea to any room with the Wave of Light Animatronic dolphin. This dolphin is a work of art and will be a joy forever. Combining lights, sound and movement, the visual experience is both hypnotic and mesmerizing, creating a relaxing tranquil environment for any room in your home or office. The dolphin is made up of twenty moving slivers that simulate the motion of the ocean. 3 Modes to choose from: Watch it move in a well-lit room with the Sound & Movement Mode. Bring it into the bedroom shut the light off and watch the Movement, Sound and Light Mode take over – completely relaxing you. Simply use it in the Movement Only Mode and be mesmerized by the slow graceful movement of the Dolphin Built-in Sleep Timer Mode – With the push of a button you can set it to turn off in a half hour or one hour automatically. Bring the calmness of the sea to any room with the Wave of Light Animatronic dolphin.

At the risk of getting personal, when you get right down to it – we’re all pretty much amused by ourselves. The sight of ourselves on a personalized gift such as the Personalized Mouse Pad featuring your own Golf Magazine Coverabove falls under the category “hoot.” If you’re finishing up your Christmas shopping (or you haven’t even begun…what?!?!) and you’re wanting something extremely unique and personal – I have the website for you. These people are nuts and I like it.
You provide a photograph of the individual (or their pet) – then you decide if you want to present them with a poster of the personalized magazine, a framed picture, a t-shirt, or a mousepad – such as this one.
From the Website:
YourCover started in 2000 with the belief that everyone deserves to star on his or her very own magazine cover. Initially, YourCover had its employees creating each issue individually, using photos and information provided by customers. This process of making fake magazine covers was highly labor intensive – and the price point reflected the considerable labor cost.
In order to lower the price of our personalized magazine covers, we renovated our site to enable users to create their own fake magazine covers online. The revised YourCover site debuted in June 2006; now, with our fully automated and interactive site, you may log in to YourCover.com and create a magazine cover – by simply uploading your own photos and adding text (using our templates and text suggestions).
YourCover professionally prints our full-color fake magazine covers on heavy glossy paper and places them in deluxe frames for shipping. Personalized magazine covers are unique gift ideas and make memorable party favors or distinctive table centerpieces. Make your own magazine cover at FREE Shipping on all orders!
. It’s a clever way to celebrate and commemorate an important person, occasion or milestone. And it’s a unique keepsake that’s sure to be remembered and enjoyed long after the event has passed.

The Son of Man, 1964 Framed Art Print
Magritte, Rene
Buy at AllPosters.com
In a comment, Daisy pointed out how the Funky Wooden Cabinet (3 posts down) reminded her of the painting, The Son of Man, 1964. It totally does!
These would be out of this world grouped together. Sure, you might creep some people out of their wits… but that’s a chance you’re willing to take.
Click through the image above for other options with this great print. It’s available framed, unframed, as a stretched canvas, and simply as an art print.

Here’s something that’s not just unique – it’s crazy unique. This beauty, Teachers Pet
, is the epitome of a conversation piece. Place this spectacular wood cabinet in an office or room and just dare people not to comment on it.
Teachers Pet is from Artful Home and it is simply magnificent.
From the Website:
Inspired by a vintage glove form that each morning called out “Pick Me! Pick me!”. What else to decorate with than some apples for the teacher? Constructed from solid poplar, fixed and adjustable shelves, hand painted.
Dimensions: 81.0in H x 24.0in W x 15.0in D
If you want to decorate your office or home office in a style that lets your fun side and originality come through – this has your name written all over it.

Okay. Hold onto something. Philips is working on an unbelievably cool gadget they’re calling the “Rationalizer”, a device that’s basically a “mirror for your emotions”. It’s a mood ring gone high tech – very high tech.
Here’s the rundown: The employee wears an Emobracelet on their wrist which measures the “arousal component of the user’s emotion through a galvanic skin response sensor”.
I told you to hang onto something.
This EmoBracelet is synced (wirelessly) with the EmoBowl, the beautiful bowl you see in the picture above, with lighted patterns to show a user’s emotional readout. The range is a soft yellow, orange, or deep red.
When the bracelet wearer sees that the bowl is flashing red, it serves as an alert. Someone needs to chill the heck out! Or, to be more precise, the individual should take a break – maybe walk around for 10 minutes, play solitaire, or simply take a couple of deep breaths. The idea is for them to catch themselves before they make a decision that might be the result of emotions rather than the result of common sense. Check themselves before they wreck themselves.
Oh the ramifications! This is, honestly, a brilliant concept. The Mirror of Emotions is for Investors, but just imagine if everyone in your office were plugged up to one?
Let the games begin!

If you love to surround yourself, as I do, with out-of-the-ordinary and fun things, I have a website to tell you about that you’ll flip for.
The site is called re:thinkuseDESIGN. You can tell by the name, alone, that these cats strut to a different beat. I can’t even tell you how much I love that… we crazy cats have to stick together.
The office supply lovely at that top of the post is the THE DESKTOP MOODOMETER and I love its attitude.
From the Website:
Change your mood as often as you want with moodie THE DESKTOP MOODOMETER
Directions:
1. Open the mini CD case.
2. Read through the 15 hilarious cards
3. Select your mood
4. LET IT BE KNOWN.
Display: Open the CD case as far as it will go to create your very own DESKTOP MOODOMETER.
The cards measure 3.5″ x 3.75″. All 16 cards shown are included along with the mini CD/Display case.
Hmmm, I’ve been subscribing to philosophies #3 and #4 all my life. Select your mood. Let it be known.
Visit the page for THE DESKTOP MOODOMETER to see the other “moods.” Hilarious stuff!
Then look around the site – there are too many things to even go into. I was like my middle daughter in a candy store, “I want that…. I want that… I need that… I want that… Why is that not mine?….“

Okay, this guy qualifies for “most unusual.” Check out this fun little alarm clock. It’s the The Start Your Engines Alarm Clock
and I’m pretty sure that people who normally sleep through alarm clocks have met their match.
The Start Your Engines alarm clock awakens you with the sound of a high-powered V8 engine increasing its revolutions per minute as it cycles through four gears to top speed. Sounds like me at a stop light. Such a sweet rush comes from being first out of the gate.
A tachometer surrounding the digital time window displays a needle that moves as the rpm increase to its redline of 6 000 rpm. The engine sound will grow in pitch and intensity until you press the snooze button. Press… slam… tomato…tomatoe….
A headlight button allows you to illuminate the time and tachometer display for easy viewing at night; backlight turns off after 10 seconds. Also includes an AM/FM radio.
This alarm clock is perfect for waking up in time for the office. Or (depending upon your work ethic) perfect for waking up in time to go home. Again, tomato… tomatoe.

Bet you didn’t expect to see a Medieval Helmet here – with a black plume no less. What can I say, I wanted to catch you off guard.
This handsome conversation starter is just the thing I needed to kick off a new category here on Office Freaks: Most Unusual. I think it fits the billing, don’t you?
This Roman Steel Helmet Knights Medieval Armor W Black Plume is for decorative purposes only, so if you were thinking of wearing it to freak out your wife or co-workers, you’ll have to move on to Plan B.
Product Description:
Medieval reproduction Roman helmet is handmade from steel metal. Gladiator Knight helmet was used around 14th century. The helmet has a black brush plume on the top. There is no inside lining in the helmet. Please note this helmet is for decorative purpose only, not for personal use.
