We are launching a 3 day shock & awe campaign to blow out some excess inventory — save 25% on over 40 in stock shocking gags & shockaholic games on any new order placed between now & Monday, 11/17 12:00pm.
Resellers: discounts will be much deeper when combined with quantity discounts — for example if you buy 144 or more shock pens the price drops to just $1.00 each!
We’ve split & added a few categories this week. We will be pimping all of these out & adding completely new product lines over the coming weeks.
Gag gifts has been split into > boxed gag gifts, over the hill gags, and funny gifts.
Fart pranks & poop has been split into 2 new categories, so now we have a new spot to put all of that crap.
Kids pranks & magic has been split as well. Fake tattoos have their own category also.
We are testing a few different homepages with varying color schemes & elemets — the one below is similar to what many of you will currently see.
Also, check out our new snazzy logo. (Don’t be alarmed, the yellow square thingy will be back shortly).
For the last couple of hours our shopping cart has been down on and off, meaning that many of you have not been able to place orders. We have received a few dozen emails about this, and will contact everyone else individually if you have not yet contacted us….
Many of you saw the following, or something similar on the second step of the checkout process:
msxml3.dll error '80072ee2'
includes/shipcalc/shipcaltools.asp line 179
That single line of code is the communication between our server and that of USPS’ server — which in a nutshell, is what calculates your shipping rates. Our server sends over the weight of your shopping cart, and then gets a total based on that weight. Usually this happens within a fraction of a second, but currently it is taking longer than 30seconds (thus creating a timeout error), or it is not happening at all, thus terminating the connection completely.
Someone is looking into this, but as a temporary measure we have deactivated USPS priority as a shipping method for the time being. USPS 1st class is calculated without any communication between their server and will work fine on orders weighing less than 13oz. For all other orders you will automatically be given UPS ground shipping. You can contact us directly if you would like to change that to USPS priority and we can do that for you manually.
We will update this post when we have more.

Though not as popular as ‘International Talk Like a Pirate Day‘, (and not to be confused with fake moustache day held on Feb. 2nd), International Moustache Day is slowly gaining a cult like following.
Though there may not be enough time to grow a proper moustache between now and 0ctober 6th (and though many of you can’t grow one), you still have time to buy a fake moustache if you place your order soon — especially if you live on the east coast.

Victor Wang — huh-huh — from Apple emailed the author of the Pull My Finger app, shown above, to explain that the interactive fart-noise program was deemed “of limited utility to the broad user community.”
