NEVER JET HOT

We have been weeding out our books, I've got this little book that advises how to improve the "Feng Shui" around here. Some of it is pretty far out. It says to put a compost pile in the West part of the garden, but goes on to say. it's a good area for "Sunbathing, convalescing, and entertaining" Am I missing a page? I'm Giving my copy away at bookmooch.

I was amazed, they still sell these! When I was a kid in the 70's and 80's my friend Mario always had one one of these, in his backpack or the trunk of his car. He caught many fish... Personally I didn't have a taste for them because he mostly fished from urban waterways. But if you know a good fishing hole, it's a handy thing to have around.

One of our suppliers for ThatRestlessMouse.com has been telling us to get on the stick and order up some of these "Silly Bandz" because they are all the rage among the grade-school big spenders. Naturally I was skeptical, our kids are grown and while my wife tells me I am childish, they don't do a thing for me. I would prefer a sturdy slingshot, ala Bart Simpson or Dennis the Mildly Menacing. Now I read that school principals are banning them from the classroom. That's a sure sign of a runaway hit. But I see the bandwagon has picked up speed and it's too late to jump on; demand would vanish, and we would be stuck with a half a case of weird looking, impractical rubber bands. HEY I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! We could stuff that oil pipe with these goofy things, save enough to fill their other problematic spewing hole (The CEO's mouth), and save the kids from (this particular) distraction. Yay me!

Last October was "Do Something Juvenile Month" and so we bought a bunch of these humorous Inflatable Sheep Sold lots of them over Christmas. Our price is cheap esp. relative to that store at the mall. Just put it in someone's office or tuck it into someone's bed while he's sleeping, and post a video of him waking up on YouTube. The possibilities are endless! Get several for a "running gag". Less than five bucks each when you buy two or more!

I've had several days off from my Real Job™ - have to go back tomorrow evening. I hate the part where the vacation winds down and it's time to return to the salt mines. No doubt someone will have screwed things up while I was gone, probably big mounds of pepper to clean up or something.
