More from my trip…
On the way back, we had a brief stop in Hong Kong. Yes, there was an umbrella vending machine at the ferry station. I was amazed at that. But it wasn’t till I got home and looked closer at the photo that I discovered the machine had a TV screen, showing a video that featured those umbrellas’ benefits.
Love it when my Mac’s memory gets tangled. Rare, but fun!
When I saw these, I just cracked up.
Some things just should not be combined. Orville and M&M might be a little misguided.
What things have you seen lately that should not be combined?
Joe Montana loves his new Skechers shoes so much that he wants to throw them far away.
(What were the ad creators thinking?!)
Note two: these shoes are supposed to help the wearer burn more calories. Isn’t that what all sporting shoes will do – if you use them while exercising? I think they will help you burn even more calories if you continually throw them down a football field, retrieve them and repeat the process.
A few weekends ago, we took a short break in Buena Vista, Colorado. That town has an old empty cinema building in the center of town, as well as an out-of-commission drive-in theater outside of town.
I appreciate the fact that the signs are still up for both. It’s a nice reminder of what used to be.
Takeaway: What things can you “leave up” in your life to remind you of good memories or events?
No comment from me, but I welcome yours.
I did not make this stuff up.
At left, the “NeckPro Traction Device” ($55) and at right, the “Head Spa Massager” ($50). Both are courtesy of our friends over at SkyMall.
My sister who lives in Belgium and I like to exchange lists. Other people’s lists. We often find them outside supermarkets, thrown away and tossed by the wind.
These two were enjoyable – the top made me wonder, “What in the world is a ‘Bumbo Baby sitter Pink’??” And the bottom – much smaller amusement – but I enjoyed the interesting spelling of “popscikles”.
Finally, there is a magazine devoted to this sort of thing. I have never subscribed, but I like to visit their site from time to time.
