Hillary and her elbow

Image
I heard Hillary Clinton broke her elbow arm-wrestling Obama in the White House basement, so I figure we better put a better price on these “Hillary Zero dollar” novelty bills , since it’s sort of mean spirited to be selling those while she’s laid up and unable to palaver with Heads of State, Bill should man up and negotiate peace, wash the dishes, etc.

Naughty bits!

Image
Actually more like “tacky bits”– the infamous reclining nude with the salt and pepper shaker boobs , to use the vernacular of the proletariat. $5.94 or less, and no “RENO” tattoo on her!

The great blog migration

I am starting over with this blog, there are posts dating back to 2003, checking through them one at a time sure is slow going, many are being deleted for dead links, glowing references to gadgets that are now in the dustbin of history, (That's a real eye-opener about the money I have wasted along with my youth), Old Rants (Why an I such a whiner? Now I am whining about being a whiner) and a big category, posts that were just dumb. When I get done weeding this virtual garden, maybe some real work will get done around here.

LakesideNovelty.com

If you were looking for Lakeside Novelty; We purchased the remaining inventory from Joel, and he also showed us where to get the merchandise So now you can find great quantity discounts on old Lakeside items such as the light-up rose, the Permanent Match, the Magnetic Scotty Dogs, Naked Lady striptease pens, etc. here. Please note that a lot of the old Lakeside items are no longer made, or they have become too pricey due to dollar value fluctuations. This is why we are (temporarily?) out of those fantastic Needle threaders. Some things have become too expensive to produce due to product testing requirements, or associated changes in the rules– I believe this is the case with “Smoking Monkeys”, which I have been unable to find spare cigarette packs for in recent weeks. If you have a Lakeside favorite that you don’t see on our website, be sure to click the CONTACT US button above, we will try to help.    

Twitter still an enigma

  We have an account on Twitter, mainly use it when I have something to say that would be an awful short blog post, maybe a quick joke, a coupon code or quick special, or whatever.   It seems that many or most people (Or uh, “tweeple”) follow dozens or hundreds of tweet accounts. So unless they are searching within Twitter, I doubt that our “followers” even notice our “tweets” as they go rushing by, this is one instance where the old saw about it being an “information superhighway” would seem to apply.   My main problem is that it seems to be such a tremendous waste of time to “follow” so many people, like me they only come up with anything interesting once in a blue moon, and time is too precious to monitor it. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go “buy” a couch for my “Sims” in Sims 3. Also I am reading a Phyllis Diller book, “Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse”. I have my p...

Only thing missing? Jamie Lee Curtis

Rumors of the death of Geo-caches

  Rumors of the death of Geocaching.com are greatly exaggerated; It’s down today and possibly several more days, due to a fire in the building that host the sterile banks of whirring computer servers that are the very lifeblood of any website.   Oddly enough, the building is in downtown Seattle, practically in the shadow of the Space Needle. I always envisioned these computers to be housed in some nondescript industrial park out in the boonies, not in prime Seattle real estate.   Unfortunately for me, it also knocked out our Verizon Internet for a time. There was a flurry of modem-resetting and “Is yours working?”, wailing and gnashing of teeth of course.   Teresa gnashes at the drop of a hat, I have been meaning to talk to her about that.   But I digress. The problem with Internet outages is that there is no good way to determine if it’s signal, hardware or software. I could call Verizon, but I have a feeling they are overtly covert abou...
