Just seeing this…]]> The rubber ducky mouse is a mouse that has a little duck floating in some blue liquid at the bottom, to make your computing experience a tad more whimsical.

Rubber Ducky Mouse

Rubber duckies always, always, always make me think of Bert and Ernie. I guess I just watched too much Sesame Street as a child. Just seeing this mouse got Ernie’s Rubber Ducky song stuck in my head for like 4 hours.

Bert and Ernie

I came across this item on uncommongoods. It’s an optical USB mouse for Macs or PCs, and will set you back $30. So if you’ve got an ambiguously gay coneheaded unibrowed pal, this might just be the perfect gift for him or his “roommate.”

This new universal remote control is guaranteed to make ‘em cringe.

Sesame Street Elmo Remote Control

The $15 remote control features the likeness of Sesame Street’s most annoying character of all time, Elmo. It’s got big soft candy-like buttons and is shaped like Elmo holding a big pink or orange heart. I can only pray that it doesn’t make any of those wretch-inducing Tickle Me Elmo sound effects when you press a button.

If you ever catch me using one of these to control my system, please put me out of my misery.
