NEVER JET HOT

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.

I have an idea on how we could use this "let me google that for you" tool for a search utility... Let's say you wanted to look at our fart-based products: Let me google the fart search for you...

I was just trying to cull some old blog posts here, I discovered that we are honored to have been featured on the obscure "Weird Things for Sale on the Internet" webpage, since at least 1993! Where does the time go? ” You may scoff, but I think these little hobby pages, tucked away in subdirectories of their ISP, little known, are the oregano in the great spaghetti that is the Internet. It just wouldn't be the same without it, but no would be able to put their finger on exactly why.

Watch out for this when shopping online! Sen. Rockefeller's committee has been looking into the practices of post-transaction marketers for months. The practice Rockefeller is going after involves the pop-up windows that appear on some e-commerce sites after a customer has completed a transaction. The pop-ups offer a coupon or some other incentive, but once a user clicks through, he can be automatically enrolled in a club that automatically bills his credit card for a monthly membership fee. We don't have after-sale offers, when you finish buying what you have in your cart, we are done. Also applies to mail and phone orders. Personally I hope they throw the book at these crooks, besides it's bad for business when other online sellers are ripping people off. P.S.
