A lot of times what I find on Kickstarter is really awesome. Other times….it gets a little weird.<\/p>\n

For instance, one group is selling biodegradable pins to stick in dog shit<\/a> you see that no one has cleaned up. People not scooping the poop is gross, but I can’t imagine being so obsessed with people not doing so that that you buy these biodegradable pins to stick in the remains. What’s worse is the gross pictures of dog shit all over the Kickstarter. I would have included one here, but I didn’t want to see it every time I look at the site. Ughhh…<\/p>\n

Also while in the park, if biking isn’t your thing then you can skoot<\/a> through the park instead. Like, why not just get a scooter? I don’t understand the motivation for this bike\/scooter at all. Except for using it as a chair like in this picture. I’m pretty sure these are going to blow up in Portland or something.<\/p>\n

For our final stop in the park you need the Sandwich Knife<\/a>\u00a0for your picnic! This doesn’t do something novel. It just saves you from making two cuts in the bread. And I don’t think having the two pieces not completely separated is that great.<\/p>\n
