There are plenty of ugly sweaters out there this time of year, but while most of them are trashy and tacky, it takes a lot to be downright offensive and terrible like this Santa spelling out Merry Christmas in the snow.
The vomitting reindeer above is even downright classy compared to some of the really bad ones that show reindeers making love, a gingerbread man's "jingle bells" and Santa in a seriously comprimising position.
Don't miss the whole hilarious list over at InventorSpot.
We've talked about cool secrets behind National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, but one thing that article didn't explore was what would happen to the Griswolds after they kidnap Frank Shirley. While he says he'll drop the charges, the fact that the police sent in a SWAT team means that Eddie probably won't be getting off that easy.
In fact, according to San Diego criminal lawyer Peter Liss, Eddie is pretty much going to spend Christmas in jail, but at least he can fight the kidnapping charges:
With the help of a San Diego criminal attorney and a series of tests by medical professionals, Eddie would have a very strong defense based on the fact that he does not have the mental facilities to understand his actions. Because Eddie already has a low IQ and has even been part of clinical drug trials that were likely to damage whatever intelligence he already had, charges against him would likely be dropped before the case went to trial and if it did go to court, the jury would likely find him not guilty on grounds of mental impairment.
Well, at least he'd be out in time for Vegas Vacation.

Segways are actually pretty useful little vehicles, but they just look so darnn stupid. Fortunately, there's a new option out there for those who want to use a personal transport vehicle.
The Zero Scooter combines the style of a Vespa Scooter with the functionality of a scooter. It actually uses real parts from a Vespa, which is why it looks so cool and authentic to its inspiration. It can climb slopes of up to 30 degrees and can travel up to 21 miles on one charge at speeds of up to 12 mph.
Of course, if you want to ride around in style, it will cost you -$3,925 to be exact.
Looking for something to keep you warm this winter but not really in the mood for plain hot chocolate? Then reach for some delicious eggnog and white chocolate chips and start heating them over the stove on low heat. Serve with some marshmallows, sprinkles and whipped cream and you have a great holiday beverage that is hard to top. Kleinworth & Co. has all the directions you need to make something amazingly rich and beautiful enough to impress any and all of your guests.
You don't have to be human to love the holidays. These critters featured on Cute Overload are proof of that and man are they adorable.
You might see pups in costumes and kitties attacking trees pretty regularly, but you really don't see horses, rats and turtles getting in the holiday spirit all too often, so this is a great opportunity to enjoy all variety of animals celebrating Christmas.
If any of your critters are looking fantastic in their holiday best, we'd be happy to feature them here. Just send in your images to jill@neatorama.com.
Back when Skyrim was new, we posted all kinds of goofy stuff from the game, but now that it's a few years old, you just don't see that much new stuff come out about the game. Even so, it's still an amazing adventure ripe for modding.
And here's an amazing new mod everyone can enjoy -Thomas the Tank Engine as a dragon. Kids will love getting to see their favorite talking train fly through the sky and parents can enjoy murdering the character they've been forced to watch thanks to their kid. It's a win-win.

If you tried to put everything you remember from Star Wars on one page, how much of the series do you think you'd actually cover? When it comes to artist and Star Wars fan John Hendrix's take on the franchise, it's pretty impressive just how much of the films are covered. If you're wondering what would motivate him to take on such a major undertaking, he writes:
I can never repay George Lucas for what Star Wars gave me. Star Wars is so close to my heart, I honestly couldn’t decide what image to make for this show, it was just all too important. So I just decided to draw everything… from memory.
Maybe he could try his hand at Indiana Jones next. I'd sure love to see Nazis, snakes and religious artifacts mixed in together.

They might both be mad men, but only The Doctor has a box. Of course, if there's one great place to have your mind blown that doesn't involve traveling through space and time, it's 221B Baker St. This great double fandom gingerbread house was created by Twitter user Wholock.
It's a perfect gingerbread house for fans of these two great BBC shows, but it's really exciting for all those fangirls out there who find these two men to be the sexiest men on television.
A whole pile of bones, a comfy bed and, more importantly, a human to feed the bones to you so you don't have to move around in the bed. Now that's a perfect fantasy for any pooch.
Oscar the Boston Terrier's owner put the pup in this set up for a photoshoot and when no one would believe that she didn't photoshop him or use fake bones, she had to upload this video to prove that Oscar really is just that well behaved -and just that lazy.

At the Neatoshop, we have some great Christmas ornaments available, including some delightfully weird ones like rubber chicken or bacon ones, but if you still can't get enough, don't miss this great InventorSpot article with 13 strange ornaments. I really like the nudie Santas above, but the S&M gingerbread and meh one are also pretty funny -plus, a lot of them are handmade, meaning they are one of a kind wonders.
Love the idea of baseball cards, but can't stand sports? Then perhaps these meme trading cards are more up your alley. The clever designs were creaated by artist Glen Brogan for the Gallery 1988 meme show last year.
The great thing aboug meme trading cards is that like baseball cards, they always have new sources of material. If you need proof, just look at Know Your Meme and notice how many new memes are added every day. On the upside, Glen had the foresight to know this and allow you to contribute your own meme using the blank card at the bottom.

Are you ready to be the belle of the ball in absolute geek style? If so, you might want to talk to unidentifiedspoon about turning one of her amazing Avengers dresses into a real gown.
While we've seen a few Avengers dresses before (one of which has already even been made a reality), these designs are particularly perfect for a formal occassion, and they even are designed with beautiful jewelry that matches the ensembles perfectly so your outfits are perfectly accessorized.
I'm particularly fond of this Lokie design, which seems like it would be perfect for the character's female incarnation -though I'd still want to sport some horns if I dressed as Loki.

Here comes the Dalek all dressed in death. Yes, the least emotional creatures in the entire Who-niverse are now in love and ready to tie the knot -or at least that's the background story I made up for these great Dalek wedding cakes by Dinkydoodle Designs.
These wedding cakes each stand 5 feet tall and as if it weren't enough for this geeky bride and groom, they also had a Dalek ice sculpture and one with a Dalek and TARDIS in it.
It's so hard to quit smoking, but luckily, this little kitty has a good sponsor to help make sure she can't light up. Of course, like most addicts, she does put up a fight, but in the end, common sense (and a strong human hand) win out.
And don't worry for those nervous about hitting play, no kitties were harmed in the making of this video -including getting cigarette smoke in their lungs.

It's never easy to get a little guy to go take a nap, but it's a lot easier when he has a best friend that will go lay down with him.
That's certainly the case when it comes to Theo and Beau. This puppy and babe are best friends and every day the two go lay down to take a nap together.
And nap time together isn't just a phase, or at least not one they've grown out of yet. A month after the pictures of these two originally popped up, the two are still napping together every day.
Lets hope we continue to see these two in the future because we just can't get enough of them now.
