Still haven’t gotten it? The answer is after the break:

Silver bullets aren’t just good for killing werewolves, they also make killer cocktails. This sleek, retro-style stainless steel drink mixer holds 18 ounces of Cosmopolitans, Margaritas, or James Bond-approved Martinis (shaken, not stirred). It’s also a nice way to judge how things are progressing on a home dinner date. Whip this puppy from underneath the bar and see how she reacts. If the conversation takes a turn for the dirty, you’re well on your way. If she starts talking shop about Sigmund Freud, you’re probably screwed, so mix an extra strong one for yourself.

Is this just a lame excuse to say “I got me some java and javascript going at the same time”? USB seems to be the hot-button ‘Crave word of the moment, so it makes sense to mention The USB travel mug, which also plugs in to your car’s cigarette lighter, but why bother? We like the sheer “we got the future right here” coolness of plugging that mug right into the workstation. Or better yet, your Xbox 360. We aren’t your mom, so we don’t have to bother reminding not to spill the damn thing.

William Gibson is the father of Cyberpunk. He’s the man responsible for the word “cyberspace”, and his stories foretold the rise of the internet long before people know what a modem was. One of those eerily forward-thinking books? The incredibly cool Neuromancer. Don’t remember that one? How about Johnny Mnemonic? Gibson wrote the story and the screenplay for the movie about the man with 80 GB of computer storage surgically placed into his head. 80 gigs was a lot of space in 1981. Especially jammed into your skull.

Gibson is back with a vengence with the excellent Spook Country. We won’t spoil the story for you, but when Gearcrave checked out William Gibson doing a reading from the new book while in Chicago, we knew it’s destined to be another New York Times bestseller. Spook Country is funny, just as exciting as any of his other work, and involves some of the same characters that showed up in his last work, Pattern Recognition.

Gibson’s appearance in Chicago was great, if for no other reason than watching how he handled rabid fanboys (”I love your work, I love everything you’ve ever done, can I have your sweat?”) and discussed his creative process. When asked how he gets his creative inspiration, Gibson grinned and said, “Walking around and having a life!” but also said that the blank screen tends to make you want to fill it up with words. Too true!

The strangest revelation for some at the reading? Gibson saying he is not a technology geek! (He added that he ain’t a Luddite, either. Fair enough.)

If you haven’t caught William Gibson fever, you owe it to yourself to check out his nine novels and see for yourself. Otherwise, you may as well stick your computer in mothballs and amuse yourself with re-runs of Lost In Space.Yes, Gibson is that good.

Whoever came up with this one is a complete and total genius. The USB-powered Cool-It drink chiller literally works anywhere you can plug a USB cable into, including Xbox consoles, Sony Playstation, Macs, laptops, anything. If your dog had a USB port, it would work there, too. Cool-It keeps your drink chilled to a sweet 45 degrees, and while it can indeed cool off a warm bevvy over time, it’s much better suited to maintaining the ideal drinking temperature of an already-chilled can of . . . whatever. USB Chiller requires at least 1.2 Amps to operate, just so you know. It is USB 1.0 compatible, but mind those amps.

Like Sid Vicious, Ernesto “Che” Guevara has gone from being a mere famous name to cultural meme. That means nobody remembers what he was really famous for, they just buy the shirts. This tee skewers all that, and Disney at the same time! Is that really Che’s face, or is that Dave “Foo Fighters” Grohl?

Now this is some serious retro timekeeping. This Fred-O-Vision alarm clock looks like one of those old 70s style portable TVs, and the display looks resembles one of the old-time test patterns from back in the day when TV stations actually signed off for the night and let you go to bed. That’s right, gang, once upon a time there was no 24 hour cable, back in the day when TVs were made out of wood. This alarm clock constantly shifts color just like one of those unreliable old console televisions, and it plays goofy old game-show theme music as your wake-up call. Imagine waking up to the theme from The Dating Game! Or maybe you’re a Hollywood Squares guy. If retro makes you gag, you can give the retro Fred-O-Vision alarm clock as a gift to one of your office chummies. Call this another Gearcrave no-brainer quick pick gift idea.

This is it. The very finest book available on having major laughs at somebody else’s expense. There are other books on pranks, but none so comprehensive, including a difficulty meter and accomplice-counter. You need diagrams? This book’s got the diagrams. You want a written invitation? That’s the only thing this is missing from these 224 pages of mischief, mayhem, and anarchy. Once you buy Prank University, none of your friends, neighbors, or officemates will be safe. Just remember that the law of karma applies, so choose your targets carefully. At least start with people who deserve it, hey?

This is just wrong. Yes, it is real cologne that stinks like real Crayons. We’d never suggest you get this and wear it, but as a goofy office gift, it can’t be beat. Want to send a subtle-yet-snotty message to the office fashionista? Or maybe you just need a gag gift in a hurry. Either way, this is a total attention-getter, because everyone is simultaneously repelled by the idea, yet they want to smell it to see if it really DOES smell like Crayons. “Is that Burnt Orange, dahhling? Or perhaps…Periwinkle?”

Hell yeah! You know you’d drink it, if it really existed. Be the badass of Cloud City with this bitchin’ tee-shirt, yo!
