The List

Art: New Brandon Bird Prints

Pop-culture-twisting painter Bird's got four new prints for sale, including "Mr. Noodle" (David Schwimmer doing aqua-robics with elderly women) and "What Nat Saw", a weeping Natalie Portman ringed by the Ninja Turtles -- oh that Raphael, so cool, and yet so crude.

Services: HowToCleanStuff

Peep detailed cleaning instructions on hundreds of items, from home goods (carpet, appliances, car seats), to bongs, to catheter bags (empty into bong).

Drinks: Sommelier Wine Glasses

These hand-blown glasses look like plastic keg-party cups perched atop a thin stem -- the perfect receptacle for the 18-year-old port you store in a bottle of Boone's.

Gear: Warrior Shoes

This Chinese athletic shoe was lusted after in the 70s; now, the lowtop, toe-capped Warrior's been resurrected for worldwide buyers by a China-born Finnish citizen, who dug up 420 pairs. Included's a limited-edition photo book chronicling the impoverished Chinese laborers who rock the shoes today, but are so clueless to their former celebrity, it's almost as if they never learned about limited-edition throwback sneaker culture.

Services: How Caffeinated Are You?

Just click this test as quickly as possible for 30 seconds to get your over-venti'd rating, from "Slight Buzz", to "Spastic, Nervous", to "Cracked Out, Paranoid" -- though being paranoid doesn't mean those charlatans in the deli aren't giving you Sanka on cups 6 through 10.
