Can the leisure suit in a bottle be far behind?

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

Wondering what the hot new item for the modern Japanese woman is these days? Why it’s spray-on silk stockings! Yet more proof that the Japanese will make any product whatsoever just to prove they can, not to mention proof that human just love products in spray form. The spray silk substance used is supposedly waterproof to boot, so your stockings will last through any nasty old rain storm. But how about removal?

It does almost look like she is wearing regular silk stockings. And with a lot of soap, and a bit of scrubbing, they can be washed off in the shower.

A little bit of scrubbing? The shit sticks to your legs and is waterproof. To me it doesn’t sound like anything less that 80 grit sandpaper or steel wool is gonna get it off. Say goodbye to your epidermis, ladies! ^_^

Musical miracles

Canadian rocker Bryan Adams’ music helped to wake a german woman from a seven year coma. In other related news, Michael Bolton’s music has been found to clear up acne and Flock of Seaguls is found to cause hair growth. ^_^

How do you take your eggs? Boilded? Scrambled? Carved?!?

Looking for that unique gift to give someone special? Say what words can’t with a hand carved Emu Egg. As strange as it sounds, the examples on this site are just stuning. My only question is what drives a person to discover they can do something like this in the first place. ^_^

Where’s the beef? Screw that: Where’s the brains?

Say you’re the beef industry. You notice, much to your discontent, that many young teenage girls are turning veggie on you. You see billions in potential future profits flying away, and this scares the daylights out of you. How can you win them back?

Well, if you said “Let’s make a pink nightmare of a web site and push eating beef as ‘keepin’ it real‘”, then you might just have a high ranking slot on the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association board.

Having had to work on something fairly similar in marketing approach, I can appreciate the effort on the designer’s part to stomach the thought of the pure evil they were to unfurl upon the world. As far as my thoughts to the brilliant notion from the Beef board in actually funding the creation of this monstrosity, I have only one thing to say:

“HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…HA HA HA HA ha ha…(you get the point ^_^).”

What branch does Miss August work at?

Friday, January 3rd, 2003

It’s strange when you hear about your county’s library on Headline News, but it seems the Ocean County librarians have found a unique way to try and raise funds for improvements — the “Easy Readers Calendar“, featuring librarians in leather draped on top of Harleys. This is an obvious take from Easy Riders magazine, that features women in bikinis (and sometimes less than that) draped over motorcycles.

Why do I find this the slight bit disturbing? Maybe those two distinct mental pictures are getting mixed up inside my skull….
