Death By Chocolate

Well I suppose you may as well go out with something you love. This is what I call Death by Chocolate.

Denise Richards ruins 7th Inning

I cannot cast stones about someone's inability to carry a tune for I cannot sing. However, I would not get up in front of thousands to display my lack of ability. Turn your volume down on this one and in your best C3PO voice, you're going to say: "Oh, how horrid!"

eBay Doesn't Allow Money Orders WTF

I haven't sold anything on eBay in quite some time and over weekend had the need to unload.. umm, I mean sell something on eBay. After the item was up for a while, I got a question from a prospective buyer asking if I would accept a money order. I thought, huh? Isn't that an option already.... here let me go check. What! Not an option any longer. I dug around a bit and found this page on accepted payment forms.

Ebay Accepted Payments Page

It is the usual corporate bureaucratic mumbo jumbo but basically it says they only allow money orders for certain higher value categories like Cars.

WTF is wrong with them? No wonder so many professional sellers are bailing out of eBay. This policy clearly smacks of anti-trust since it pushes people to paying with PayPal (which eBay just happens to own). I told the buyer I would gladly accept his Money Order and to hell with eBay. Haha. What are they gonna do?

Smart Car and Old Micro Car

I keep seeing more of those "Smart Cars" around. To me they still don't look 'smart' if you happen to get in an accident in them. These cars are part of a new trend in cars called 'micro-cars'. Did you know this car was produced in the early 1960's? It was called the Heinkel Trojan or something like that. I remember there was one in my neighborhood when I was growing up. This guy that was into odd cars kept it and it made the VW Bug look large. Aside from the fact that it has only 1 back wheel, it looks oddly like the Smart car doesn't it?

It's a super Toilet!

Don't worry no nasties go down this toilet in this video. Just an amazing number of odds and ends, like ummm.. 18 hot dogs, 4 sets of chess pieces, and several pounds of raw carrots. Hopefully no one gets any improper ideas from this, like flushing kitty away. Anyways, I'm not sure I would want to unclog the sewer after this demonstration!

Milk Milk Lemonade...

You never know what lies behind the curtain!

A Big Line a Dennys!

I don't recall seeing a line at Dennys before; especially on Tuesday! I thought at first it might be the line for a dishwasher job. Sad statement on the economy when I would think that eh? Then I remembered reading about their SuperBowl offer for a free "Grand Slam" breakfast and that explained it.

Would I eat one for free? Sure. But is it worth waiting in line for? Hmm. No. This is the Shoreline Dennys in case you were wondering; taken around 10:15 am. The offer ran from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m so, you're already too late. And yes, I watched the SuperBowl, I just refused to watch the commercials and no I don't think they're the best part.
