Rocky’s Third Leg USB Drive Pumps The Abs

Jason Chen — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:20:00 +0000

Rocky doesn’t need anyone to hold his feet for situps. Nor do Apollo Creed or Clubber Lang. Not to be racially insensitive, but are Apollo and Clubber’s USB connectors slightly larger?

Apollo’s enjoying himself a bit too much, and T is very, very angry someone’s making him exercise. The fools-per-minute coming out of him would probably be astronomical. [Geekstuff4u via Nerd Approved]

I Pity the Fool Who Didn’t Know About Mr. T’s App Store Contribution

Jack Loftus — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 19:00:00 +0000

Apologies in advance, Mr. T, for not reporting on your very first App store contribution sooner. That said, I pity the fool who doesn’t download iPity today!

Stop rubbing your eyes. Yes, this is a real app. It went up yesterday and lists for $US0.99. What do you get for a dollar, you ask?

Well, if we ignore the fact that you’re still here asking questions, and not downloading iPity already, then the app basically recites classic Mr. T lines on demand.

The app is the work of developer E.E. Flobes, and includes more than 30 classic Mr. T sayings. Tap his face for a random one, or head into the menu to select that special saying from the list. Mr. T’s mouth even moves as the audio plays.

We have no idea if this is licensed or what, but it probably isn’t. What’s damning for the Apple approval process is great for you however, especially if you love Mr. T like we do.

And even if it does get removed, there’s always this. [App Store via VentureBeat]

Mr.T Rubber Ducky Pities the Bathing Fool

Jesus Diaz — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 14:45:00 +0000

OK, you fool! Have you showered today? Neither have I. So take a bubble bath instead. With me, Mr. T! Or if you don’t like me, you can try Jesus (the rubber ducky).

AU:This is old news – I featured this in T3 probably 3 years ago now. But they’re still a good idea as a stocking stuffer for Xmas, although you’ve probably left it a bit late for this year…

Choose whatever puny rubber ducky you want. You can fill your family bath, because they you can buy them for $US6 each. But you aint gettin’ in no tub without me, fool! [Celebriducks]

Mr. T Tells You Where To Go On Your TomTom

Nick Broughall — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 22:30:32 +0000

Holy crap! How did we miss this? If you pity the fool who does the regular Aussie Ken voiceover for your TomTom device, you can kill his jibber-jabber by downloading a suitable replacement – Mr. T.

In his own words: “When you ride with Mr. T, Mr. T gonna get you there in one piece”. He also mentions that he’ll get your kids acting right and you’ll arrive at your destination safely, “or else”. And when Mr. T says “or else”, Mr. T means it.

You can pick up Mr. T’s TomTom voiceover for $16.95 on the TomTom website. If you own a TomTom, you owe it to yourself to buy this.

[TomTom]

Happy Birthday Mr. T

Jason Chen — Wed, 21 May 2008 19:20:00 +0000

Happy Birthday Mr. T. Thanks for not beating all of us fools up on April Fools. May you have many more years of jibba jabba.

I Put Little Boy Into a Coma With Nothing But My Presence

Jason Chen — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 03:59:00 +0000

I’m going out the same way I came in. Pow! See you around, suckas. Hope you fools enjoyed my jibba jabba. Don’t do books, read milk, drink your drugs and respect yo mommas.

Mr. T Versus Dracula, Dinosaur-Man (Who’s Also a Detective)

Jason Chen — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:30:00 +0000

Who do you think is gonna win? Mista T or some punk arse fool who sleeps all day and nibbles on people’s necks? That’s right. His mouth is gonna meet my fist, and my fist makes a good first impression sucka. Once I’m through with him, I’m gonna move on to this Dinosaur-Man chump. What kinda fool is gonna put pants and a tie on a dinosaur for Jeebus sakes! He’s a dinosaur that’s also a detective. Let’s see if he can detect this move. What time is it fool? Time for me to sock you in the dino teeth, T style. [Mohawk Media]

If You Don’t Get Your April Fool Out Of My Face I’m Gonna Turn You Into Chopped Liver

Addy Dugdale — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:00:00 +0000

Yo! I’M MR. T!!! What an awesome day it’s been, guest editing the Giz. Some of you think it’s Talk Like T Day. Well, I’ll squash the punk—squash him like a bug—who suggests that April 1 was TLT Day. It’s April Fool, FOOL!! And to all you naysayers who think that Gizmodo sucked today, you know that the only thing you can hear is your little pea brain rolling round your head. And when I finish with you, you won’t even be able to hear that! By the time I do let you girl scouts go, you’re gonna be big on PAIN! But first I’m gonna make you all suffer with the rest of the web’s April Fools.

• Nasa’s space station robot wants to be known as Dextre The Magnificent. Dextre The Fool!
• Find out if son—or daughter— of T is on its way yet with the ThinkGeek USB pregnancy test.
• Virtual peeing with new Wii game the Super Pii Pii Brothers. That’s crazier than Murdock.
• Nintendo goes VoIP with the Wii VoIP handset rumour. VoIP? That’s what my enemies say when I crush them into the dust!
• The IPCGA bans the HP Blackbird 002 from the International PC Gaming Tournament. Inside, it’s deadly!
• Aaargh! My ears! Improv Everywhere’s redesign. I wouldn’t give that paintjob to a Ford Tempo!
• Gearlog’s poop-brown iPod to support people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I can give jerks IBS with just one look.
• Google and Virgin want to colonise Mars?, Men don’t come from Mars, you know, crazy people do. And crazy people go there!
• Google came up with a couple others: Custom Time, and predictive searches, allowing you to search the future for things that haven’t happened yet. That’s just stupid jibber-jabber!
• I used to eat LEGO bricks for breakfast and some crazy dude is telling me they contain addictive substances? I Don’t Do Drugs!
• RIM is adapting its BlackBerrys to support Windows Mobile . Huh, I could do that with my welding torch.
• The mighty LP kicks the CD in the nuts, sales-wise. Did I say nuts? NUTS!
• Apple was due to reveal both its specs for OSXI, as well as the iPhone Enterprise Infrastructure Server, iPEnIS for short. Now that’s what I call takin’ Apple Fanboyism to crazy.

Benny Bathes for Giz: Kohler VibrAcoustic Tub is T-Tastic

Benny Goldman — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:50:00 +0000

The suckas at Kohler wanted me to try out their new VibrAcoustic tub today, but I already took a bath this morning. I sent that one bathtubbin’ fool in my place, and while I may go Clubber Lang on him for trying to impersonate the T, this tub looks pretty sweet.

The bath brings lights, music and vibrations together to create a relaxing atmosphere. Four presets of new age music and soft lighting are included, but if you can only relax with Public Enemy and flashing strobes like me, everything is adjustable and the tub streams songs from your PC or Mac. One thing that threw off my man Mr. G was the vibration of the tub. Vibrating pulses pass through your body, but they sound much more intense than they feel. Fool thought he was getting a massage, but he was just shaken up a bit at best. Either way, it’s a nice way to chill out and get clean. But for US$13,000, they could at least install a milk fountain!
