I…am speechless. And suddenly I know what I am getting Mr. Whatsit for Christmas.
I present the iPhone beer opener.
A blue canary in the outlet by the light switch?
Yeah. I am buying one for my husband.
Awesome!
Thank god we had the obligatory reference in 3. Seems the people marketing it know what’s up, too. Yay for that!
Genuis 
Cool. My brother’s Xmas gift is taken care of. And even if he already has one, who couldn’t use a second blue canary in the outlet by the light switch watching over them?
Umm, am I missing something regarding the blue canary? 'Cause to me, it’s a blue LED canary. If this is cool and genius then I’m no doubt missing the point.
It’s your only friend…it’s not your only friend, but it’s a little glowing friend. But really it’s not actually your friend.
… and once in every 5000 times when you turn it on, it goes whoosh!? 
There is just no accounting for taste. There are no doubt many people who would buy a neon blue dog turd night light.
In other words, it’s some sort of in-joke that no one is willing to explain.
It’s mentioned in the lyrics of a They Might Be Giants song.
It’s a song by They Might be Giants.
ETA damn you people so quick on the draw!
Can’t do YouTube from work. And although I have heard the band name “They Might Be Giants” I’m pretty sure I have no clue who they are or what they sound like.
Stay tuned when I post an awesome picture of a purple umbrella and provide no context.
Hi Leaffan. It’s a reference to Birdhouse In Your Soul, one of the best songs by They Might Be Giants (a major cult band among Dopers.)
Here’s the live Tonight Show version featuring Doc’s Kickass Brass.
Well, everyone else who’s a fan of the Purple Umbrella Band or whatever will likely jump in and agree with your assessment that the umbrella is awesome. and the rest of us will be confused for a while until someone clues us in.
TMBG really is a great band, by the way - check 'em out when you get a chance!
I so wish I had a friend who’s a big TMBG fan. Though I’m familiar with the song I didn’t recognize the connection. Know that it’s been explained, I think it’s prertty darned nifty!
