Couch Shopping

So I stopped by RC Willey last night to look at couches. For those of you that don't know, i still do not have a couch for my new house. So i found this couch at RC Willey, and i kinda like it. It's comfortable, just a little low so its kind of hard to get out of. I still have a little shopping to do, and now i don't know if i want a sectional anymore. Why is this so hard!
Anyway take a look and tell me what you think, RC Willey.

Big Mac and large fries that will be 45 MOP, please pull forward.

When Supermodels’ don't want our money, maybe it's time to take a close look at our economy.

Today while listening to my favorite podcast, Feast of Fools, they mentioned a news item about a supermodel not wanting to get paid in US dollars any more. Bloomberg’s website has an article talking about supermodel Gisele Bundchen, the world’s richest model, no longer wants to be paid in US currency. The dollar has fallen more then 34% since 2001 and the model is demanding (the actually statement was she is insisting, but I took some artistic license to make it more diva-ish) that she be paid in almost any currency but US dollar. What do you think she charges for a photo shoot, 700,000 MOP? That’s Macau Official Pataca, thanks Deb!

The dollar is at its lowest value ever against the euro, Canadian dollar, and Yuan.

The supermodel signed a contract with Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble as a spokes model for Pantene. She insisted on being paid in Euros. Is that even legal, how does that even work? Will this work for any of us? Can my check out lady at Wal-Mart get paid in Pounds? My gas station will only take Canadian dollars? This is crazy.

I thought we are the economic leader of the world, what happened? Well bush happened. But the blame can’t be totally placed on him, but still a good part. Natural disasters and the housing crisis played there part. But because it doesn’t directly affect the people in Washington, only the people they represent, nothing was done. Politicians only pay attention to scandals that involve them, or think involve them. So I suggest start naming things with gate, to get Washington’s attention. Home Loan Gate, and Katrina gate, sounds really catchy, maybe they won’t wait till after the problem maybe they will do something to prevent it! I guess we will have to wait till after this country is months into a depression before anything happens.

Well that’s enough for now; I need to go pay my cell phone bill. Its 699.90 Hong Kong Dollars, I went a few minutes over.

Toilet Humor

Ok so something has been bugging me for a while now, so I thought I would ask my loyal blog readers what your thoughts are on this subject. Now first of all I know I may be breaking taboo's and tearing down walls and I know the establishment may not want me to bring this to light, but despite the consequences I feel this is a topic that can no longer stay out of the public light.

Which way does the little toilet doily go?

Nowhere has there been any description, diagram, or instructions that show how to put the thing on the rim. I mean there are always instructions on how to get the thing out of its container. First pull up then down, and then toss out the one you just ripped up and try again. But then what?

The way I see it there are two possible ways for the next step to pan out. First thing we need to know are we needed to discuss toilet dynamics. For this example we will identify the rear of the toilet, where the tank and flusher handle is, as the posterior. The part that faces out, we will identity as the anterior. Now we bring are attention to the little flappy thing that you have to tear out that falls into the water. We will call that, the little flappy thing.

Option 1: Posterior Alignment.

After freeing the toilet doily from its metal confines we break the little connection between edge of the toilet doily and the little flappy thing, so the little flappy thing can flap freely. Now you place the toilet doily onto the rim of the toilet, so the flap falls towards the pastier of the toilet. Then you drop trou and bend a fresh biscuit.




Option 2: Anterior Alignment

Free the toilet doily from its confines and break the little paper bridge, be careful not to tear the whole thing. Now as the little flappy thing flaps freely you’re going to place the paper toilet doily onto the rim with the flap falling towards the anterior of the toilet. Then quickly drape your panties and sit, before the toilet doily falls into the bowl and then do your nasty nasty business.



Well there it is. I hope you find the two descriptions useful, and I also included visual aides. So leave a comment and tell me what you think. Don't forget to vote at the bottom of my page!

I want one!

So I saw the coolest thing during a commercial. The dirt devil Broom Vac™. It’s a broom that can also vacuum! Two cleaning tools in one! I mean it sweeps then it vacuums up the mess! That is freaking awesome, but then I looked it up on Dirt Devil’s web site. It’s $52.99, does that seem too much? I mean it’s a lot of money, but then again it sweeps then vacuums!

Well maybe ill buy it, I need it for my kitchen for now, and if I ever get the hard wood laid down (he he I said hard) I can use it for the whole house!

Only problem is it comes in like 12 colors!

And if I buy it my party guests will break out into choreographed song & dance!

Damn Mini-Bars!

First off, is it mini bar or mini-bar? I mean what are the rules for the hyphen? I guess if i do spell check it should tell me. But i digress.

So the question is who really needs a $14.50 snicker bar, i mean it isn't even king size! Now really lets look at this logically. Will a snickers bar, keeping in mind it is a regular size not even a king size, provide $14.50 worth of enjoyment? What can one even get for $14.50 now a days.

4.14 Grande Mocha Fracppicino's
1.11 Pizza Hut's Double Deep Pizza. That includes 50% more cheese!
14.45 York Peppermint Patties, from wal-mart that is not the mini bar.
2 Bloomin' Onions - and you still have enough for a tall Fosters during happy hour.
Eat your way 36% though any city that was featured on Rachel Ray's $40.00 a day!
See how fun math can be!
And after all this, spell check didn't solve my hyphen problem!
