Okay, so I've been somewhat of an insomniac lately, and I've been watching some great infomercials. Thought I'd share them with you.
So there's one that's selling special clothes hangers that take up less room, eliminate shoulder bumps in your clothes, and just generally improve your well-being, of course. The spokeswoman decided to go to malls across America and find ordinary people with disaster closets. So these completely realistic, definitely not actor women take this creepy lady into their home and show their closets, filled with boxes of junk, mismatched hangers, clothes on the floor, etc, etc. And then they flip to the SAME CLOSET with the special hangers. Not only do the special hangers take up less room, but they also get rid of all the extraneous junk AND organize all garments of clothing by color! That's AMAZING!
And now, my favorite, the Magic Bullet. This is a $100 set of plastic kitchen equipment. There are two bullet shaped containers that fit onto the Magic Bullet base, along with the screw on blades, and can create any meal within 10 seconds! Just press down to blend tomatoes, onions, garlic, and jalapenos into instant salsa! You can make a gourmet alfredo sauce in 7 seconds! Special lids for refrigeration, special shaker lids, the whole shebang! It even comes with a set of plastic mugs that you mix individual specialty drinks in! Virgin strawberry margarita, anyone? It only takes 6 seconds!
But the part about this infomercial that caught my attention at 1 in the morning, that made me continue watching it, was the host. The hostess was your run of the mill vacuous bleached blonde. But her partner in crime was this guy with a Yorkshire accent! Now, British people generally don't do infomercials, in my experience. How many can you count in all the infomercials you've seen? But this is no ordinary British man--this is a Yorkshire British man! It was amazing, I listened to him speak cockney as he sold plastic kitchen products and I thought, "Now that's good salesmanship."
Yeah, so that's what I've been doing. I highly recommend the Magic Bullet infomercial, it's quite addicting.

Hey, everybody go check out the new Strong Bad email. It's got games at the end. Except I couldn't get the shield one to work.
Yeah, that's all I've got. Private, I hope acting is going well. Major, I shall see you tomorrow. And call you tomorrow to set everything up.
"Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the Homestarmy!"

ummm no. No marbles or beads for me. The carpeting was down anyway. And I will do anything I want to the room. And i would like to say that it is clean. Far cleaner now than it would have been if you were here. SO there!

Were you dropping marbles or beads or something? I'm glad the room looks awesome. I just wanted to remind you that while you are free to do what you want with the room while I'm gone, it better be clean when I get back. :).

wooo! first to post on the new year! oh who gets a cookie who gets a cookie? that would be me.
Dearest captain,
how much sleep did you get before you wrote that? Anyway we are as amazing as two baboons slapping wet flags at a fried pickle. Yes, indeed. I wonder what else can get the search engines going... I like encyclopedias when they are charred in molasses and when only left-handed people are ambidextrous. I also like sir. Isaac Newton and that the braves lost Javy, Sheffield and Maddux.

I bet by continuing to transfer these terms into the posts, we are adding more and more interesting related searches. Let's continue to throw random words into this blog so we can keep up the Crazy Stuff Weird Site Things Things Blogger!
Estoppel, Clactonian, and Sockeye Salmon. Bet that will liven things up in the related searches bar!
