Badass single wheel electric unicycle. Rider stands (no loser seat) on pedals on each side of the wheel and moves by leaning forward and back kinda like a segway, but not stupid looking like they are. Massively eco-friendly which is kinda cool.

Get the Glimmie glomma mug.1. Refers to Air Canada Boeing 767 C-GAUN (c/n 22520), which on July 23, 1983 ran out of fuel over Northern Ontario, and glided to a landing at an abandoned airfield in Gimli, Manitoba. At the time, this was the first ever dead-stick landing of a jet airliner. The aircraft was subsequently recovered from Gimli and flew for Air Canada for another 25 years before being finally retired in January 2008.

Get the Gimli glider mug.Prosecuters who would rather play guitar, and perhaps should. They keep their hairs in drilled tips to pierce the Heavens or to just make themselves feel pretty. They are fun to throw snackoos at, so do so if you see one. They also like to seduce opposing lawyers after court.

Get the glimmerous fop mug.A girl who has a lot to her: she's smart, funny, nice, honest, sexy and beautiful. Looks as though she is a Goddess, The only thing is: she doesn't know any of that. She doesn't believe it although people around her tell her it's true all the time. She's a great sport and has a heart the size of the ocean. She's just straight adorable. If she truly falls in love, She loves with all of her heart and soul. If you ever need her, she is there. Her feelings get hurt easily but she bounces back quickly, Although, deep hurts take longer to get over. If you do her wrong, or hurt her deeply, she doesn't forget and she will hold the grudge for a lifetime. If you happen to know a Heather, never let her go. She's more than worth your time.
