Grown-Up Sippy Cups At Midtown Comics
These are grown-up sippy cups. Comic book character themed grown-up sippy cups. I suppose you could get one for your kid, but I think they are being marketed at adults. Two designs – Punisher and Deadpool. Here’s the Punisher model:
$11.99. Such a deal! Well, if you like that kind of thing.

Texas Instruments “Little Professor” Math Game Calculator (I Had This)
Futzing around on eBay I stumbled into the Vintage Calculators category. (Don’t ask.) I found something that I used to have – the Texas Instruments Little Professor Math Game Calculator.
This thing was totally fun. It played little math games, and worked as a calculator, which meant you could do stuff like spell out words with numbers. Keep in mind that we’re talking about 1976; technology didn’t have to do as much to seem impressive.
If you’re interested in buying one of these, maybe to show your kids what used to pass for an iPad Mini, this particular calc is listed on eBay for $18.00 plus shipping.

Nice DaddyDeal on this wire shelving unit from eBay. List price is $269.99, sale price is $59.99. That’s a savings of $210.00, or 78% off. (I didn’t do the math. But I could have if I wanted to. Yes! I could. Stop saying I couldn’t. I’m good at mathing.) Free shipping too. (That one requires no math at all.)
Limited time offer, your mileage may vary, we take no responsibility for anything that happens as a result of you buying anything, we’re only providing you with a link. Still, if you happen to need some wire shelving, this looks like a darn good deal.

TV Reporter Suspended For Blaming Problems On ‘Young Black Men Growing Up Without Fathers’
A TV newsperson actually said, “The underlying cause for all this, of course: young black men growing up without fathers.”
This is one of those times when I have to check the calendar to make sure that this is indeed 2014, not 1972.
Here’s the video. It’s short.

Teenager Tom White Takes Selfie With Paul McCartney And Warren Buffett
A teenager named Tom White took a selfie with Paul McCartney And Warren Buffett. Mostly it’s him standing in front of them while the pair sits on a bench. But it’s still pretty cool.

Here’s the original Instagram shot, which Tom titled “Chillin with my homies”.
I’m more than a little bit done with the word selfie. However, Tom White wins the Interwebs for the week with this shot, and briefly redeems the term “selfie”. Good for him.
