Sofa King

I wanted so bad to start a sofaking.com website with pictures of people sitting on various couches. Or maybe cats or dogs sitting on couches. Or rather sofas. Each would say "This sofa isn't just good, it's sofaking good! Maybe with a little Sofa King royal logo. I'm sure it would have been a huge hit, stupidity + cats + Internet= COMEDY GOLD Unfortunately someone is camping on the domain name, and I don't think it works with a dash in it.

Super Duper Mart - clean up on aisle, uh, one...

Someone on eBaY was peddling this old cardboard toy that billed itself as a "super duper mart". I didn't know the practice of adding "duper" to "super" started that long ago. It's kind of a ripoff, the thing isn't fit to pretend to be a mall kiosk. It looks like taller kids couldn't use it, which is just as well, they would have been more interested in shooting it up with their Daisy BB rifles. You could make some satisfying holes in that coated cardboard. Anyway, this aspiring merchant should keep a close eye on the shopper. She could hide the entire produce department under that skirt.

Thinking about this Walmart problem and then...

Sometimes the quote thing at iGoogle pops up with a gem; "Rogues are preferable to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest." - Alexandre Dumas ...but what about rogue imbeciles?

Laughter strictly for medicinal purposes?

I was reading this Study on the health benefits of Laughter It makes me wonder. If laughter is the best medicine, what is sarcasm? Are there health benefits to smirking? Or does it have to be a belly laugh? Does it work better on fat people then? Is canned laughter the generic equivalent? Can I get cheaper laughs in Canada? There are many unanswered questions.
