Now that the nice weather is finally here, it's time to start getting rid of all those awful brown spots in your lawn. If you want to make your yard look more like a pro ball field than a playround, you can scoop up some of Scott's MLB Authentic seed mixes. You can choose from Wrigley Field, Fenway ark, Busch Stadium, Great American Ball Park and Citizens Bank Park. You'll have to check out the seed specs to make sure the new turf will thrive in your environment, but once those blades start poking their little green heads out, all of the hard work will be worth it. It'll be worth the effort just to see the look on the old man next door's face when your lawn owns his.
The park near our offices has a selection of those "public grills" that are basically black metal filth boxes on a stick. You'd have to be insane or that Bear Grylls to eat anything off of them. EZ Grill solves that problem, though by providing a quick, easy way to get up to 1.5 hours of meat-charring heat out of a portable grill. It comes pre-loaded with charcoal and lights easy enough that you won't burn your fingertips off. Despite the whole "disposable" thing, it's actually a pretty green product, using a recyclable aluminum contaier and 100% natural charcaol. We think the box should come with a label that says, "just add hot dogs!" but then again, we're not marketing gurus.
BioLite Camping Stove
By Fresno
When we go camping, our "camping stove" is usually made up of a big pile of sticks that we set on fire. It's kind of like how our "camping toilet" is actually just the stick with the most ants on it. But, the BioLite turns up the tech on outdoor living. It's powered by leaves and sticks that you burn inside its metal torso. There's a thermoelectric generator that's powered by the heat. Once you're done cooking, the generator will have some left over juice that you'll eventually be able to use to power your gadgets. So, even if it doesn't keep you from starving to death in the wild, at least you'll be able to listen to Heavy D and the Boys while you whiter away.

Metalocalypse Dethklok Blood Fountain
By Fresno
The dudes at [adult swim] have always been kind of crazy in an awesome kind of way, but it seems like their shenanigans are getting even more elaborate. If you log onto their site right now, you can order yourself up a $40,000 replica of the blood fountain from your favorite animated death metal band, Dethklok. No typo. This thing costs $40g. The description says it's about 66-inches high and has a basin that's 96-inchs in diameter. The whole thing is made from marble and you'll have to pay extra for shipping as well as a $13,000 security deposit when you order. It also doesn't come with any blood to flow through it, so you'll either have to use lame-ass water or hold your own personal blood drive. So rich guys, get on it and send us pictures when it shows up.
Pet Pooch Power System
By Fresno
Dogs are great. They're loyal, fun and they aren't stupid cats. But, the downside is that they crap all over the place and it's your job as a responsible owner to pick it up. The Pet Pooch Power System means to take the bending over and that awful feeling of warm poop through a thin plastic bag right out of the equation. It's literally a vacuum designed to suck the crap up off of your lawn or the sidewalk. The built-in battery can dispose of up to 150 piles (depending on the kind of dog you have and how much fiber it has been getting) before it needs a charge. You'll have to buy some bag refills if you want your $100 crap sucker to keep working. Or just have a kid. They're great for this kind of thing.
Poseidon Patio Heater
By fresno
You spent the entire summer building your deck and now it's too cold out to sit on the stupid thing. That's where portable heating units like this come in very hand. The Poseidon is 6.5-feet tall and uses carbon fibre (excuse the spelling, they're from Europe) heating tubes to make them cheap to operate. Each one has two heat settings (1350W and 2700W) as well as a built-in media player and speakers. That means you can sit outside and enjoy music or video without ending up looking like Encino Man before Samweiss dug him out of that ice block. ~$1,500.
Jagermeister Shot Cooler
By Fresno
First let us say this: If you're having a party that will require six cold bottles of Jager, then we want to be invited. Secondly, you should definitely buy this cooler, which is specifically designed to keep your delicious liquid cold and dispense shots through an integrated spigot. There's a huge Jager logo on the side, too, so, while we KNOW you would never drink and drive, it might be a good idea to keep it in the trunk when you're driving around with it in the car.
Husqvarna LGT2554 Mower
By Fresno
There is still plenty of time left in lawn mowing season and you shouldn't spend it pushing around the clapped out old junker you've had since the '90s. This tractor has a 54-inch deck powered by a twin-cylinder Kohler engine that pushes out 25 hp. Operation is extremely simple, with options like single-button blade engagement and an hour-tracker that helps you stay on track with regular maintenance. Perhaps the most important element, though, are the guage wheels that prevent you from scraping your lawn down to dirt.
