- Rejection Hotline
- Ever given out a fake number? Ever wanted to? Now is you chance. The Rejection Hotline is a public service to both
the rejector AND the rejectee. In a nutshell, the Rejection Hotline is a number you can give out to somebody who asks for your phone number if you just don't want to give out your real number. When they call the number, they hear our humorous Rejection Hotline recording and they are not-so-subtly informed of your non-interest. If you've never heard the recording, visit this site for a list of phone numbers in your area. -

- Sam's Mailbox Picture Collection
- Is there anything more indicative of the human spirit and mankind's perpetual quest for beauty than a lovingly crafted mailbox in the shape of a cow? Whatever your answer, you can still enjoy Sam's repository of the most bizarre mailboxes on the planet. Apparently, some people like to receive their TV Guides and credit card bills in something a little more ornate than the traditional lunch pail-shaped receptacle. Sam has done us the service of posting the wildest and wackiest of these, adorning streets from North Carolina to New Zealand. From the Octo-Box to the Hammer, it's the most fun we've had at the mailbox since the invention of the plain brown wrapper. It's also educational. For instance, we learned it must be fun to deliver letters from the IRS in Texas. -

- Sam's Toybox
- Back in 1998, Sam inadvertently tripped upon the fountain of youth, and he's been sharing his secret with a smile ever since. While surfing eBay, he spotted an auction for the first toy he ever owned, a Mattel Powershop. After successfully winning the auction, Sam realized he could not only stockpile a new toybox filled with items that inhabit his fondest childhood memories, but also share his haul with other nostalgic adults. Today his virtual showroom is a reflection of both Sam the man and the child he never left behind. Some of his booty includes a Hot Wheels Toy Factory, the Which Witch? boardgame, a Hands Up Harry, a Frustration Ball, and some well-preserved Incredible Edibles. He asks other toy lovers to share and share alike, and offers his wishlist for more vintage playthings. -

- Squished Penny Museum
- How many museums can brag that their whole collection is worth about $40? The contents of the Squished Penny Museum may seem like pocket change, but these flattened coins are treasured tokens of road trips past. Squished 101 explains how ordinary pennies become tourist souvenirs -- not to be confused with the faux pennies that are accidently squashed by trains or trucks. The site touches on copper mining and minting, relays stories about a cross-country penny-collecting trip, and invites you to take a pit stop at the penny meccas of the U.S. There are pennies of mystery, a penny of the month, and penny games. If you're in Washington D.C., you can even visit the museum (by appointment only). Honest Abe would be proud. -

- Tacheback
- The aim of Tacheback is simple: to return the moustache to its rightful place as a must-have fashion accessory, and to raise funds for research into male cancers in the process. From the catwalks of Milan to the hippest London hang-outs, the moustache is making a sweeping return. According to the fashion gurus, walking down the street without some facial fur will soon be equivalent to taking a nonchalant stroll minus your trousers. -

- TennaBalls.com
- Many a nifty accessory has been inspired by the automobile, and not all for functional reasons. You can't use those fuzzy dice in Vegas, and that little piggy head crowning your car antenna won't improve your radio reception. But you can still spot these things all over the road, bobbing shamelessly in the wind. Be it Tweety, Winnie, Minnie, Betty, Snoopy , Krusty, or Curly, at 70 mph you can cause a 10-car pileup trying to catch a glimpse of the latest icon to sit atop someone's antenna. And as smilies were to the 1970s, that damned Jack is to the 2000s. Like wearing your political sentiments in the form of a bumper sticker, affixing an antenna topper may be another trend that just keeps on going and going. -

- The Duct Tape Guys
- Jim and Tim may quite possibly be the kings of duct tape, having written books, appeared at conventions, home shows, and on radio and TV -- all for the purpose of promoting the many practical (and not-so-practical) uses of their favorite adhesive. -

- The Grey Sweatsuit Revolution
- Though we're not sure we wholly agree with -- or even really understand -- its Mission Statement, The Grey Sweatsuit Revolution sure does crack us up. While a list of locations where we could find our very own grey sweatsuit would be helpful, we're pretty sure we can come up from our room in Mom's basement long enough to find one on our own. Fortunately, there's a detailed explanation of what constitutes an acceptable grey sweatsuit to print and take with us to Wal-Mart. Once we're appropriately outfitted, the next stop will be one of the Revolution's rockin' events in Toronto. We'll gladly jump on any bandwagon that already has this extraordinary collection of people onboard. -
