About this Blog
Ever find yourself up after midnight…the soft glow of the late show flickering against your drooping eyes? All at once the screen fades to black and before you know it some overzealous pitchman is shouting at you like he knows you’re 3 winks from R.E.M…he’s on 3 pots of coffee and he’s got a great new invention that you, “have to see to believe…”
And he can’t run the risk that you’ll fall asleep and miss this awesome all in one pet nail trimmer/can opener/meat cleaver/coffee maker. I can hear him now - hollering through his thick, black beard in a flannel shirt and blue jeans…”Now, similar all-in-ones sell for $159.99 but you will pay only a fraction of this…because today, the Trimopcleoff-O-Matic can be yours for the low introductory price of $19.95 - but you MUST call in the next 20 seconds or I can’t guarantee this price for you.”
Aren’t Inventions great? I mean, without them we wouldn’t be startled out of the arms of Hypnos because there’d be no television. We’d stumble around looking for candles in the pitch dark because there’d be no light bulbs. And we’d have no Lazy Susans on which to place our favorite condiments at meal time because we wouldn’t have the wheel.
But what about other inventions? Useless or worse - dangerous bits of crap that may actually seem cool at first blush, but then become little more than a waste of time and money.
The latter group of inventions is what this blog is all about. I mean - what’s funny about stuff that works? No, friend. we’re here to make fun of the senseless garbage out there that come at us every day and better - stuff you’ve never heard of…and will probably wish you never did.
This blog is to the aforementioned ”stuff” as the Pet Rock was to windows…
Stay tuned for our first study coming very soon.
