HELLO COUGAR SUBMISSIONS
OK. So we promised you on last week's episode that we would do a single-purpose gadgets episode this week. Turns out, promising that type of thing in advance isn't such a good idea as we actually had to work to find gadgets that fit the theme. So we made it, but admittedly by the skin of our collective teeth. It's all worth it for the segments, though. Patience, young grasshopper!

Tony the Student: Your tool friend will still die
Hello Gadgettes and Jason,
Not sure if you've covered this yet, but I stumbled upon this page and I thought it would be appropriate for your "What the Hell" segment.
At the time of writing, it seems that the medium size is still available, but the small size is sold out… REALLY?
Keep up the great work,
Kayo
Hi Gadgettes!
I give you the Mangroomer - for that hairy backed man in your life! (my slogan)
I spotted the Mangroomer (official slogan: Maintain Yourself) in Target earlier today and had a little chuckle. My cellphone pix couldn’t really do it justice so I was hoping there was a Web site. Ah, yes my dreams were answered, complete with neutered male atop a spinning platform.
It bills itself as “The future of men’s grooming.” It’s the essential do-it-yourself electric back shaver, the essential private body shaver (ewwwww!), and the essential nose and ear hair trimmer.
Love the show!
Kathy from San Diego, Calif.
Hi.
So here we have the Action Mobil Globecruiser. It's essentially the end-product of an RV/Grave Digger (famous monster truck) wuzzle.
It's so manly, the front grill even says man, hahahaha. Love it.
And look, in the last picture, its fording a river! Imagine trying to do that in your wagon on the Oregon Trail!!!
For a mere $670,000 and $800 per fill, you too can have a piece this…
Men!!
Have a great week everyone,
Karl
