A Bunch Of Stuff From My Head

I’ve been thinking about afew things. Here they are in no particular order. My Trixie dreams have taken a new twist. They’re of two types: One has me going back to training, and some of my classmates are there, only this time, Trixie is with me. We just end up having a refresher, and I …

Never Cry Over Loose Change

Thisis one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine a service like this being a success for very long, but the initial curiosity calls would probably keep it afloat for a little while. Don’t kid yourselves, you know you would call, and it would seem like a great idea until the phone …

Jeepers, Creepers, Where’d Ya Get That Peepo?

When I first read about Peepo, my reaction wasn’t exactly glowing. Now, as it floats around my head, I wouldn’t trust it with my life, but I would love to get my little hands on one to test. The basic premise is it’s another GPS solution, but it’s specifically a GPS for blinks with guide …

Just For Laughs Puts On A Good roadshow

I feel like such a loser that I haven’t written about this until now. I mean, the show was Wednesday. Oh well, better late than never. On Wednesday, Steve and I went to the Just for Laughs Roadshow at the River Run Centre and it was awesome. If it’s coming to your town and it’s …

Here We Go with The Ads Again

Here we go again with more slogans that caught our attention. What a mishmash this is. Every timeI see commercials for denture grip, the stuff that holds dentures in place, it says “now with less ooze!” Ug! Doesn’t that sound wonderful? The idea of stuff oozing around my gums just makes me want to gag. …

That Squirrel had To Die

Hey squirrels! Get the hell out of Spokane. Park officials have decided you’re too much trouble, so they’re going to detonate you and your tunnels. Yup, seriously. they’ve bought a product called the rodenator that’s supposed to collapse ground rodents’ burrows and kill the squirrels in a humane way. Yeah, because suffocating an animal to …

What A Whopper Of A Story

This story about a bunch of parents being offended by the new Burger King commercial with SpongeBob in it isn’t so bad. At first I thought oh no, people bitching about commercials, getting all worked up over nothing. Then I heard it described and thought maybe they had a case. What I think is pure …

That’s Not A Barstool!

Ann Adams managed to find a video of the motorized barstool. thank you, Ann, you rock. As a very large aside, does anyone know who does this big comedy skit about Ikea and how you can never find your way out and if you took out a compass, you’d go nuts because there’s no north, …

The Man Behind Me Is A Crazy Pitchman

When Carin and I wrote the lateststupid commercials postyesterday, there was mention of about six billion spoofs of the Everest College ads. Just for fun, here’s the good one. It’s about 4 and a half minutes long, but stay with it, it’s pretty funny all the way through. Besides, what else do you have to …
