Another money making option for Flavor Flav.......

Saw this commerical last night. I always thought if I was in a bind financially I could sell my plasma, but screw that! I'm going door to door looking for people with gold teeth.
I wasn't given the option of gold fillings when I had my one and only cavity........wish I was because I'd be sitting on a goldmine, no pun intended. It wasn't a cavity in a little tooth, it was a molar so easily worth $10.

I ask you.....When is enough enuff?

We are all busy and potty training a dog needs committment and patience. Who in their right mind wants this mess in their house? Not me. I know we all can't take a week's vacation to potty train a dog but our parents and grandparents all did it without this contraption! Take a look at the photo of the bulldog, down middle of the page in a precarious position......what is that scale all about?

While watching lowsy local TV the other night (out of some town no where near where I live) I saw a commerical for this seemingly helpful eyesore and I immediately committed the website to memory for bloggin! I honestly say the very best "terrible idea" commercials are on local TV.
Anyway, the commercial itself is hilarious. The eyesore in question, is made of 1970's shag carpeting, doesn't match anything in anyone's house and is huge! It doesn't even fold down for neat and easy storage under the craftmatic. Does it come in colors, imported woods, ceramic tile? Does it come with a railing for older dogs?

What ever happened to good ol fashioned bending over to help man's best friend onto the bed??? I think people have too much money, that's what I think! There is no need for these steps, simply pile up shoe boxes or empty 1/2 gallon milk cartons from your trash and your neighbors and build your own stairs! There is nothing some garbage and a staple gun or hot glue gun can't solve!

Half the people in this commerical need the "doggy Steps" catastrophy, let's be honest! That is who it is for, blaming it on the dog.....like when people "break wind" and blame the dog!

May I be the first to try it?

Once the French get a hold of this little critter (sounds like a toupe) you know how expensive it is gonna be???
I bet more than a bushel of truffles.
Sounds utterly delectable!!

Blond, Hairy Lobster-Like Creature Found
PARIS-March 8, 2006 - A team of American-led divers has discovered a new crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks like silky, blond fur.
Scientists said the animal,, which they named Kiwa hirsute, was so distinct from other species that they created a new family and genus for it.
According to the French Institute for Sea Exploration, the divers found the animal in waters 75-hundred feet deep at a site 900 miles south of Easter Island last year.
The new crustacean is described in the journal of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. The animal is white and just shy of six inches long. It is also blind.

This country is full of sick individuals!

Now the price of cookies is sure to go through the roof!


Fake $100 Fools Girl Scouts
TENINO, WA-March 7, 2006 - A woman used a phony $100 bill to pay for Girl Scout cookies and made off with the change before the Scout's mother determined the currency was counterfeit, police said.
Katie Lundquist's delight at selling 10 boxes of cookies quickly turned to disappointment.
"Sometimes you can't trust just anybody," the 10-year-old told The Olympian for Monday's editions.
Michelle Lundquist said she and her daughter were about to finish selling cookies at Dave's Market Place on Sunday when a woman asked to buy $40 worth. The woman handed Katie a $100 bill and her mother made change with some $20 bills from her pocket.
"I was just being nice," Michelle Lundquist said. "It's the Girl Scouts thing to do."
She suspected the bill might be fake and asked the grocery manager for help, but the woman left while it was being checked with a counterfeit-detector pen.
Surveillance tapes from video cameras outside the store were being examined, police Lt. Robin Ayers said.
The Girl Scouts Pacific Peaks Council will make up the loss after receiving the police report, said Dorothy Nelson, the council's communication and marketing director.
