Just like our disfigured friend, Sloth, we all love Chunk.
Relive the adventures of your favorite Goonies with Goonies collectible figures. Save the Goon Docks with one-eyed Willy's treasure, Battle the Fratellis or just spend the day doing the truffle shuffle.
Turn on "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" by Cyndi Lauper ... and let the adventure begin.

The Decepticons are evil, but they don't hold a light saber to the latest Star Wars Transformer.
You begin with the most evil of all structures, the Death Star. Then it transforms into Darth Vader. It's the Dark side concentrated into one devious toy. The Death Star Transformer will bring enemies to their knees with sounds, lights and voice effects directly from the films.
Evil can sometimes appear in the tiniest form.

True love. Where else but Hollywood is the idea of true love and marriage so pure and so fleeting?
Now that Pamela is dropping Rick Salomon, any guy with half a career and a pulse has a chance with the busty star.
In order to break away from the crowd of would-be suitors, you'll need the Euricase Multimedia Ring Box. The metallic box holds not only two months salary (the ring), but its tiny LCD screen and speakers can hold 60 minutes of video or 500 pictures and your favorite song.
According to our calculations, that's one episode of "Baywatch" ... and a 15-minute video of you begging.

The country of Dubai has decided to forgo the boring old use of rodent-themed animatronics. Instead, the country is going Dinotastic!
Dubailand is opening "Restless Planet," a trip 100 million years back to the prehistoric world. Using the robot expertise of Tokyo based animatronics team Kokoro, "Restless Planet" has created real-life creatures of the Jurassic era. The entire "planet" is housed in a 75-meter dome.
Of course, it could all go haywire if the robot dinosaurs escape. Don't surprised if you see Jeff Goldblum hanging around.

Your pal down the street keeps bragging about his 50-something-inch TV. HDMI blah blah, 1080p yada yada. He thinks he's so cool.
Imagine the look on his face when you show up with the Olevia 65-inch 1080p LCD HDTV. The Olevia 256T FHD HDTV is the perfect companion when you're watching a certain entertainment news program and you want to see Britney and the gang in stunning 65-inch clarity.
Invite your neighbor over. Who's the man now?!

Sure, green is the new black, but does going green mean losing all common sense and privacy?
If you're more concerned about the environment than decency, and you can time your bodily functions with that of another person, the TwoDaLoo may be the toilet for you. (Wait- wasn't this an SNL skit?!)
Billed as the world's first toilet that two people can use at the same time, (there's a reason for that by the way) the TwoDaLoo will set you back about $1,400. The damage it inflicts on your houseguests -- priceless.

It won't be long before we're toiling away, serving our new robot masters. Why not make friends with a little robot now? That way, your new metal comrade can stick up for you when the robots start tossing humans in volcanoes for kicks.
The Tomy I-SOBOT could be that friend. With four modes of operation, including remote control, special action, voice command and programming mode, you can control your new best friend and teach the world that man and robot can live in harmony.
The fully articulated robot understands 10 voice commands, plays guitar and can be programmed to perform a sequence of up to 80 actions. One of those actions could rescue you from hot lava.

Winter's coming. Days are getting shorter; it's getting chilly and threat of rain looms. Sure, you could check out the weather report in the morning before you leave the house, but then you lose that extra five minutes of sleep that are oh, so important.
For those who enjoy the warmth of their bed more than sitting through the weather reports of zany morning television hosts, here is the Ambient Forecasting Umbrella. The umbrella's handle has a built-in receiver that retrieves daily weather reports from Accuweather.com. A blue LED light on the handle will flash to let you know the exact possibility of precipitation. The more likely the chance of rain, the quicker it flashes!
Now you can sleep in and stay dry!

If you've ever taken a swig of expired milk, you know how important it is to know how long an item has been in the fridge.
If your icebox is full of items whose expiration is a mystery, the DaysAgo Refrigerator Timers will help keep you from losing track of your lunch. The timers attach to your food via magnets or suction cup, and the LCD display will tell the number of days that, say, a yogurt has been sitting there turning into cheese.
You can toggle between days and hours -- so the timer is ideal for those Halloween Jell-O shots you're making!

Bird lovers hate squirrels. Even though no one has ever had their head crapped on by a squirrel, bird people continue to feed their feathered friends and find new ways to keep the furry rodents away from their precious bird feed.
The squirrel hatin' folks over at Bird Quest have created the ultimate bird feeder protection device. Twirl-a-Squirrel utilizes an electronic motor to spin off offending rodents that hop on to your feeder while trying to secure a few precious sunflower seeds to feed their starving families.
While the results are hilarious, remember: There's no such thing as squirrel flu.

What's an "Idol" fan to do while they wait for the glory that is Simon's soul-crushing remarks about a person's warbling? They could just hang out in creepy karaoke bars and heckle the patrons, or to keep from being beat up, they could pick up a copy of "SingStar" for their PlayStation 3.
Hitting stores November 13, SingStar gives everyone a chance to become the pop star they were destined not to be. Each game is packed with two microphones, so you and a friend can perform along with your favorites. Artists include U2, David Bowie, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, OutKast, Weezer and the TMZ's favorite train wreck, Britney Spears. For the true exhibitionist, if you have an EyeToy camera attached to your PlayStation 3, you can tape your best performance and upload it for all the world to see on My SingStar, the SingStar community.
So get your friends together, create a faux contest, and judge each other harshly for your horrible singing. It's the "American Idol" way!

Having international friends is great. You can crash at their pad when you travel abroad. They can teach you bad words in a foreign language. You get enough of them, and you have your own little league of nations. Of course, the worst part is calling them. International rates can really put a dent in your bank account.
Enter Rebtel, the latest inexpensive way to call your friends across the pond. Make calls for about 2¢ a minute. Better yet, you can make free calls if both parties use Rebtel. Once you sign up, Rebtel gives you a local number you use to call your international friends. The best part is that you don't have to run out and buy a VOIP phone like other cheap phone services. Your current cell phone is all you need.
It's a small world after all.

Indiana Jones is joining the Star Wars universe -- in the realm of Lego video game goodness!
Slated for a summer 2008 launch, "Lego Indiana Jones: The Video game" gives everyone the chance to become their favorite adventure-seeking archaeologist, and play through all three original "Indiana Jones" movies. The game will present a tongue-in-cheek take on the original trilogy, while you whip your way to the treasures of the world. Console information hasn't been announced yet, but it's sure to make it to all the major video game systems.
With Lucas giving us the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" based Lego games, could a "Howard the Duck" game be far behind?
