Toilet Paper?



I keep seeing these silly commercials for naming 'the cottonelle care routine'.

No offense, cottonelle - is anyone participating in this 'name the cottonelle care routine'?  Does anyone, well, care?  And what, exactly, is the 'cottonelle care routine'?  I ask this knowing I actually really don't want to know!

Sidenote:  from the above link, it appears that there are some that, well, care.

P.S.  'The freshy fresh'?  Seriously!?!

File That Under....


This e-card was picked because I often times say 'file that under'.  And get mocked for it.  I am not alone.  There is at least one other person who employs this expression.  And he or she does work for someecards.

Freakin' Wrong, But Hilarious

Hilariously inaccurate.  Except for the square shapeness of it.  I hope this person wasn't employed by the psychic hotline.  He/she would have just been stealing other's money.  Unlike the other psychic hotline employees.  And who doesn't love the finger nail stylings on those models?  That is a nice timestamp in and of itself.

You've Got Mail


I SO have pointed this out before!  If only I'd thought to draw the cartoon.  I'd be an internet viral sensation!

I Found This Hilariously Accurate

From my blogging network ladies.

I am probably dead to a couple of people.  Or at least, have been at times, but have then, perhaps, been resurrected.  And there may be several who are dead tome for these exact reasons.

Send Me Straight Back to Junior High for this one....


(sorry for the terrible quality - it's from a camera phone)

The name of the place is 'The Rockin' Taco' (I have no idea what kind of business this is).  I believe, in the logo, the A is supposed to be a guitar.  However, the name of the business, paired with the outline of the "A"....

I suppose this should be filed under 'really cheap humor'.

Lawn Chair

So, I decided that since summer is upon us - I could use a good lawn chair for sitting out and reading. Since I'm very modern and computer savvy - I do most of my shopping online. I googled "lawn chair" in search of a good deal. I kept coming upon this story:

Lawn Chair Larry
1982 Honorable Mention
Confirmed True by Darwin

(1982, California) Larry Walters of Los Angeles is one of the few to contend for the Darwin Awards and live to tell the tale. "I have fulfilled my 20-year dream," said Walters, a former truck driver for a company that makes TV commercials. "I'm staying on the ground. I've proved the thing works."

Larry's boyhood dream was to fly. But fates conspired to keep him from his dream. He joined the Air Force, but his poor eyesight disqualified him from the job of pilot. After he was discharged from the military, he sat in his backyard watching jets fly overhead.

He hatched his weather balloon scheme while sitting outside in his "extremely comfortable" Sears lawnchair. He purchased 45 weather balloons from an Army-Navy surplus store, tied them to his tethered lawnchair dubbed the Inspiration I, and filled the 4' diameter balloons with helium. Then he strapped himself into his lawnchair with some sandwiches, Miller Lite, and a pellet gun. He figured he would pop a few of the many balloons when it was time to descend.

Larry's plan was to sever the anchor and lazily float up to a height of about 30 feet above his back yard, where he would enjoy a few hours of flight before coming back down. But things didn't work out quite as Larry planned.

When his friends cut the cord anchoring the lawnchair to his Jeep, he did not float lazily up to 30 feet. Instead, he streaked into the LA sky as if shot from a cannon, pulled by the lift of 42 helium balloons holding 33 cubic feet of helium each. He didn't level off at 100 feet, nor did he level off at 1000 feet. After climbing and climbing, he leveled off at 16,000 feet.

At that height he felt he couldn't risk shooting any of the balloons, lest he unbalance the load and really find himself in trouble. So he stayed there, drifting cold and frightened with his beer and sandwiches, for more than 14 hours. He crossed the primary approach corridor of LAX, where Trans World Airlines and Delta Airlines pilots radioed in reports of the strange sight.

Eventually he gathered the nerve to shoot a few balloons, and slowly descended. The hanging tethers tangled and caught in a power line, blacking out a Long Beach neighborhood for 20 minutes. Larry climbed to safety, where he was arrested by waiting members of the LAPD. As he was led away in handcuffs, a reporter dispatched to cover the daring rescue asked him why he had done it. Larry replied nonchalantly, "A man can't just sit around."

The Federal Aviation Administration was not amused. Safety Inspector Neal Savoy said, "We know he broke some part of the Federal Aviation Act, and as soon as we decide which part it is, a charge will be filed."

Footnote:
Larry's efforts won him a $1,500 FAA fine, a prize from the Bonehead Club of Dallas, the altitude record for gas-filled clustered balloons, and a Darwin Awards Honorable Mention. He gave his aluminum lawnchair to admiring neighborhood children, abandoned his truck-driving job, and went on the lecture circuit. He enjoyed intermittent demand as a motivational speaker, but said he never made much money from his innovative flight. He never married and had no children. Larry hiked into the forest and shot himself in the heart on October 6, 1993. He died at the age of 44.


Poor Larry. I gotta respect the guy for one thing: the line 'a man can't just sit around'. RIP Larry.
