Some brides and grooms like it big, or even a little showy, while others prefer...shall we say...quick and easy, but it seems that many couples today are choosing non-traditional wedding ceremonies -- what, with hammering out the details of a well-balanced prenuptial agreement before the wedding isn't hard work enough, thank you very much? -- and this is where a wedding planner is called in to make all the arrangements for the busy bride and groom.

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Sports -- You Are So, Drafted!

NFL.com reports that The 71st NFL Draft will be held on Saturday, April 29, beginning at noon (held through Sunday, April 30th) at New York City's Radio City Music Hall and will be televised nationally by ESPN and, for the first time, NFL Network!

And perhaps some of you are thinking, "What, is it football season...already!?!"

**ducks behind bar stool to avoid flying objects**

Hold on there, Bud...wiser are those who understand the life of a football wife (okay, maybe it's soccer...but just go with it).  But, some of us haven't quite gotten over last season, yet -- the equivalent in length of nearly half a pregnancy -- not to mention degreasing massive amounts of nacho cheese stains from the couch and consuming nothing else unless it is served...in a bucket; isn't that right, Mrs. Average Joe!?!

The NFL Football season doesn't start in another 30 weeks, but...eh...who cares!?!

**shields face with latest copy of Sports Illustrated**

That is to say -- TGIF! -- it's Friday and we don't need no stinkin' football to celebrate the end of another work week.  Besides -- there's always Fantasy Football and SimLeague Football -- and wonderfullywacky.com has a unique gift idea that sure to be the highlight of any sports gathering...no matter the season!

The Giant Beer Glass -- yes, it is big...actually...it's HUGE -- 60 ounces of pure bliss.  It's almost a six pack in your hands at all times!  Impress everyone at your next party with your alcohol fortitude.  The Giant Beer Glass is the perfect conversation and party piece!!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Gadgets -- For Those Who Thought They've Heard It All!

The popularity of body art is on the rise -- with the most common forms of body art being tattoos and body piercings -- and is generally becoming a more commonly accepted practice (it seems even the Army is taking a second look at their tattoo policy).

Then, there are those people who go for more extreme forms of body modification such as mutilation or pushing the body to its physical limits.

FYI -- Elaine Davidson is the world record holder for body piercing in the Guiness Book of Records.

This looks like it would hurt, but...um...modblog.bmezine makes a good point and it is sort of pretty.

 

Okay...this is extremely freaky!

Speaking of extremes -- and getting back to a minimally invasive discussion regarding a less obtrusive body part -- here are some more record breaking things you can do...with your ears:

• Loudest Scream -- 129 decibels (Note: 130 decibels denotes the threshold of pain)
• Heaviest Weight Lifted With An Ear -- 113 lbs. 15 oz. held for 7 seconds!
• Slingshot Ears -- The farthest an American dime has been propelled by an ear lobe -- 10 feet and 10.5 inches!
• Longest Rabbit Ears -- 31.125 inches!
• Longest Ear Hair -- 5.19 inches -- 'nuff said!
• Longest Living Headless Chicken -- had its head chopped off, but went on to survive for 18 months as its owner watered and fed the headless chicken directly into its gullet using an eyedropper.

Okay, the last one really didn't have anything directly to do with ears...but, dayum...if that's just not plain weird!?!

If you're into piercings, or perhaps are more of a clip-on type of guy/gal, then today's unique gift idea from wonderfullywacky.com would not only make a perfect gift...it's pretty cool g-ear, too!

   

Show everyone at the office you have an ear for what's cool with your brand new Ear Keyring.  The Ear Shaped Keyring is funny, affordable and comes in sleek-looking packaging.  Get one for everyone you know to show them you have an ear for what's cool!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Entertainment -- Let's Hear It For Bruce Lee...On Broadway?

Starpulse.com reports the buzz about a production of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee's life....as a Broadway musical?  Yes, the man behind the Dragon is the subject of a new Broadway show with music provided by David Bowie?

Okay...you can file that under things that make us go, "Hmmmmm..."

How about a musical based on the kung fu movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!?!

Uhyup -- and why not?

When it comes to Broadway musicals, no subject is off limits or...um...too wacky.  Just look at some of the titles of new musicals coming out or currently running on Broadway:

The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial:  The classic play tells the story of a mutiny aboard a fictitious, rag-run World War II U.S. Navy minesweeper, the U.S.S. Caine.

The Wedding Singer:  A totally awesome new musical, based on Adam Sandler’s homage to the ‘80s.

Spamalot:  Killer rabbits, flatulent Frenchmen & legless knights. What could go wrong?

And forget about getting tickets for an evening showing of Wicked -- a musical, based on characters from The Wizard of Oz, about two unlikely friends who end up as Glenda the Good Witch and The Wicked Witch of the West -- nope, not happening...not unless you know someone...**nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say no more**...or until at least June, that is!

What about Bruce Lee...the musical?  Well, you'll have to wait...because they're not talking production until 2008.

Fear not, Asian action film aficionados -- today's unique gift idea from wonderfullywacky.com is just what the defense against bad martial arts movies doctor ordered...um...if there really was such a person...uh...have you seen Wicked, yet?

In this age of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh and John Woo, World Martial Arts Hall of Famer Richard Meyers -- "America's foremost expert on the Asian action film" (Boston Globe) -- here illuminates the enormously popular martial arts film genre, from it's "Black Belt Theater" beginnings to the triumphant Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and everyplace in between.  From the loony to the legendary, Great Martial Arts Movies is a breathtakingly illustrated look at a vivid, action-packed world and a guide that every film and contemporary culture watcher will treasure!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Parents -- Trumped By The Birth Of Barron...Um...What's His Name?

Move over, Trumpsters and...um...Trumpettes, it's time to make a new provision!  There's a new heir in town and he shall be named, "Barron William Trump."

In a statement on melania trump.com, the new mom said the youngest Trump weighed in at 8 ½ pounds and was 21 inches long and gushed, "Donald and I are very happy and excited. We can't wait to take our new little Trump to his new home."

Though it would be interesting to see if the birth of Donald and Melania Trump's baby inspires a spin-off to this Barron's website for young Apprentices -- they can call it Baby Barrons -- it's been reported that, with the birth of their new baby brother, each of the Trumplings lost at least 5 percent of his/her inheritance.

**snicker**

Sorry, but it's not like they're dragging their asses out of bed at the crack of dawn, all sleepy-eyed and popping a couple of antacids, before shuffling off to work and half-heartily chanting, "Time to make the donuts."

Then again, we could sit here and debate the gap between rich and poor until we're blue in the face -- and don't even get us started on the whole Dunkin' Donuts vs. Starbucks, thing -- who's to judge, yes?

There's one thing that perhaps most new parents can agree on, however, and that is no one's sex life is secure -- especially not with a baby on board -- and wonderfullywacky.com has a unique gift idea for welcoming new parents to one of life's little passion killers!

Dream Bed Wind-Up Bank

Yes, it's bizarre...but, so is parenthood!

Here's the scenario a couple is relaxing in bed, put a coin on the button and press. The center of the blanket automatically lifts and out comes a baby boy that snatches the coin and goes back into the bed. Maybe the boy is concerned about his college fund?!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- For The Home -- Decorating With A Little Bathroom Humor

The Perfect Dump -- Every once in a while, each of us experiences a perfect dump, it's rare, but a thing of beauty in all respects.  You sit down expecting the worst, but what you get is a smooth sliding, fartless masterpiece that breaks the water with the splashless grace of an expert diver.  But that's not the end of it.  You use some toilet tissue only to find that it was totally unnecessary.  It makes you feel that all is right with the world and you are in perfect harmony with it.

There you have it -- a little bathroom humor via BathroomLife.com!

**blank stares**

Allrightey then...we admit it...bathrooms are not always the relaxing retreat we'd hope they would be.

In fact, there really are some ugly-ass designs out there and HGTV has a photo tour of some of the ugliest bathrooms in the country called, "The Bed Bath Hall of Shame!"

**holding our noses**

Ah, well...to each his own.  And it's nobody's business...but your own, yes?  On the other hand, you don't have to endure a whole bathroom remodel to enjoy a "fresh" look.  We've found a creative and funny idea for decorating your bathroom -- via wonderfullywacky.com -- that perhaps...um...well...as Baron Bob says, "...wouldn't get your bathroom on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens, but it sure is FUN!!"

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- In The News -- It's Almost April, Fool!

Days are getting longer, sleeves are getting shorter and the ground is growing greener as the earth begins to hint at the first signs of spring -- which begins on Monday, March 20th at approximately 1:26 p.m. (EST) -- and you know what that means, don't you?

[the sound of engines revving]

Ahhhh, there's nothing quite like the smell of gasoline and the pulse of hydraulic fluid to get your motor running in the morning...as bikers, motorcyclists and motorcycle enthusiasts celebrate the open road with motorcycle rallies, bikefests and their personal websites.

These guys and gals are all about torque and power, but don't even think about wearing a helmeted and feathered skull...not without asking, nicely...or providing a copy of your script in full, anyways!

The Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation is suing Walt Disney Motion Picture Group alleging that the studio never got its approval for the use of its trademark, and that the studio has repeatedly exploited the club's name and logo in its publicity material for the film "Wild Hogs" in production this spring starring John Travolta, Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence.

As Disney and HAMC get ready to rumble -- and what red-blooded American doesn't enjoy a good butt-whooping every now and then, eh? -- it'll perhaps be interesting to see just who will get the snot beat out of them...legally speaking, of course!

Speaking of snot -- apparently, these folks do very little else, but -- April Fools Day is just around the corner and wonderfullywacky.com has a gag gift that would make a practical joke seem absolutely heavenly!

Human snot is just snot, but Angel Snot is heaven scent.  This beautiful jasmine-scented substance is a solid manifestation of the miraculous power of angels.  It's also fun to play with.  Squish it, bounce it, stretch it -- just don't wipe it on the back of the couch!  Approximately 1 ounce of precious fluid comes in a plastic egg on a card, with the story of Angel Snot on the back.

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Gadgets -- Long-Distance Love Goes Hi-Tech!

Perhaps you're familiar with the idiom, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."  But, did you know that the earliest form of the saying was written by a Roman poet named -- now, get this -- Sextus Propertius!?!

Go figure.

Actually, it was more like:

"Always toward absent lovers love's tide stronger flows."

According to a report in Reuters, lovers will soon learn to appreciate the centuries old proverb in a whole new light and, as Citizen Sextus has so cleverly put it, "bask in the flow" through a high-tech wine glass!

"Researchers have come up with a novel way to keep long-distance lovers in touch -- high-tech wine glasses that glow warmly however far apart the pining couple are.  When either person picks up a glass, red light-emitting diodes glow on their partner's glass.  When one puts a glass to their lips, the other glass glows brightly.  Distance is not a problem as liquid sensors and wireless links have been built into the glasses.  The loving cups are to be unveiled next month at a conference in Montreal on computer-human interaction."

Now, you know that the computer-human interaction community -- that's CHI if you're techie -- has their own blog, of course!  And even though it may sound a tad boorish to some -- here's hoping The Food Network inspires some egghead to finally invent smell-a-vision -- there are those of us who perhaps find geeks sort of...you know...sexy!

Even though today's unique gift idea is low-tech by comparison, wonderfullywacky.com has cocktail glasses that closely simulate the idea behind the loving cups, is one of Baron Bob's coolest gadgets for "geeks in love" and perhaps inspiring enough that even Sextus Propertius would say, "I want one of those!"

The Techno Celebration Glass is guaranteed to add sparkles and smiles to any celebration.  It measures 7 1/4" tall, is  4 1/2" at its widest width on the top and the battery will last for over 100 hours (when in operation) and is easily and inexpensively replaceable.
