NEVER JET HOT

Here in Hellhole, Wa. people don't wait until it gets snowy to forget how to drive. Last weekend there was a 17 car pile-up on I-5 up by Mount Vernon. It involved several SEPARATE collisions in perfect driving weather. Most of them were caused by inattentive driving, according to the state patrol. The problem is, there isn't a gadget the police can make them blow in that measures that sort of thing.

D.B. Cooper, where are you? For Pete's sake, it's been 36 years. Give it a rest already. Shouldn't you guys be more interested in finding a certain tall skinny bearded fellow?

What kind of "Restless Mouse" site would we have without a windup, furry, creepy novelty mouse toy? However it sort of creeps me out the way the tail moves as it goes. The one we took for product testing drives the dog NUTS. The windup mice come in white, gray, black, or brown, you can request your desired color(s) in the comments field when you order, most folks don't really care, in that case we will send whatever is top of the box. They are inexpensive fun, Get your furry skittering mice here

We at The Restless Mouse are very excited about our latest adventure, we have purchased the remaining inventory and website of Lakeside Novelty Co. - I first bought from them when I was like, 12, back when they were running full page magazine ads all over. So naturally when we started this online venture I went back to the well. I still need to get the website transfer and design done, but you can see the kind of products we will be adding HERE - We will be selling items at wholesale there, I know a lot of you buy in quantity for school events, ebay, or what have you- This is a splendid opportunity to get some hot prices on items that we can offer really cheap, this is stuff we will be importing or buying in large quantities (truckloads!) from first-tier US suppliers. The items listed there now - Novelty licenses, funny money, etc. - will be arriving here toward the end of November. Please let us know if you are looking for ANY novelty product, we thought we "knew where the bones...

THANKSGIVING The turkey shot out of the oven and rocketed into the air it knocked every plate off the table and partly demolished a chair it ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom then splattered all over the kitchen completely obscuring the room it stuck to the walls and the windows it totally coated the floor there was turkey attached to the ceiling where there'd never been turkey before it blanketed every appliance it smeared every saucer and bowl there wasn't a way I could stop it that turkey was out of control I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure and thought with chagrin as I mopped that I'd never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

From a recent survey form we got back; "It took me 3 days to complete my order because you have so many cool - bizarre items..." Thanks for the lift, anonymous customer person. It made my day.

With growth of a business comes more headaches, ergo this.. RUNDOWN ON INVENTORY OUTAGES (There may be others I will add later) CU0664 I.T. Cubes - NUTS We won't have any until JANUARY! EP0501 Shakespeare Insults with gum - Ordering Monday, should have by Thursday.

Kitsap County man uses shotgun to loosen lug nut I feel bad for this guy because cars hate me too. Apparently it's a very bad idea to use a shotgun at this range. Typical of the Herald, they don't say whether it loosed the lug nut.

I got an email from a Karen H. via Classmates.com - I was racking my brain, Karen, Karen... I used to to know this German girl named Karen in high school, she invited me to play tennis one time but I declined because I was not prepared to spend an afternoon retrieving her balls and mine. It turns out that some other Karen (probably one of those girls who had to pretend I did not exist, lest she lose control of her barely contained lust, dig?) is organizing our 30th reunion! 30 years? What, did I graduate when I was four?

I want to get an MP3 player for my mom who is in her 80's... She has to be able to figure out the buttons, and they can't be horribly tiny like the Creative Labs MUVO I gave her a couple years ago. It will be streaming jazz, she likes all of stuff I plan to put on it, so searching for tracks won't be an issue. Is the Ipod the only good options? I listen to music on my Palm Tungsten at work, and a lot of people call THAT an ipod because I am listening to music on it. I suspect their brand name is going the way of the "Band-Aid" if Apple doesn't nip that in the bud. Any suggestions?

It wasn't a health department violation at the skating rink last week, just a plastic skeleton in a coffin. I still think it would put me off my feed at the snack bar though.

Teresa saw this "Oreo Spam" and said "Now THAT would make a good breakfast!" ... On what planet is this considered breakfast food?

Well, be afraid that he will bark at you to the point of insanity. That's what Petey D. Dog's MO is.

Went to the library today, even checked out books wihout googling them first. Googling at the library just seems wrong. I know, I'm an old fart, but whatever happened to using your quiet voice at the library? People in there talking at full volume, plus crying/whining toddlers. If there were video game noises and bad smells I would have thought I was at Chucky Cheese.
