things that make you go hmmmm...

I have always been fascinated with infomercials, skymall magazine, and just inventions that make you go hmmmm. For instance. When the Snuggi came out I thought to myself "hmm it seems like that has already been invented but they call it something else....like a big sweatshirt, I think there is even something sort of like this called...a blanket."
I was reading my friends blog the other day and laughed my tail end off about this:


That doesn't make you look like an idiot at all. Now if you really don't want to draw any attention to yourself you could upgrade and get this:

(if you are still confused about what they are, the first one says its so that you can see your phone or ipod even in the bright light or if there is a sun glare, the next one was invented so you could use your laptop in private. hmmmm...)

Now this i may just consider, because if I ever AM in the line of fire even though I could get my knee caps, ear lobes, or heck my whole self shot, at least I will know my ipod is safe. And sleep better at night I will.


This is the "Slasher" it protects you against getting stabbed. Its even machine washable. What more could a girl ask for in a shirt. It even comes in long sleeves if you like.

But maybe that just isn't enough for you, you may want to consider this:
For just a mere 160 thousand dollars you can have your own bullet proof bed. You can even customize it with a dvd player, microwave, and fridge. You get the point. It says it even protects against terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

This next one is just downright disgusting. Given my over-active gag reflux, the thought of people carrying this around in their purse like chapstick almost sends me into a frenzy:

This is totally cool though, and I promise once I remember whose name I drew for Christmas this is totally what your getting. I am serious, I wish I would have come up with this one.
Now here we have not just an alarm clock, but one that has a nice piece of bacon all cooked and ready for you in the morning. If you buy this YOU have hit a new low I promise.


This one I have no comment because it just gives me the creepy willies

Now this next one is Mother Teresa Breath Mist. It promises to Freshen your Breath all the while helping you sort out your deep soul searching issues. No seriously, I am not poking fun, but let me just say one thing, if you are searching for deep soul searching answers from your Breath mist, you have MUCH bigger problems then you realise.

But just in case your Breath mist gives you the WRONG answer, there is a back up plan. Now apparently you can reserve your spot in Heaven. There is even a money back guarantee.


And this next one is for those times when holding JUST the Q-tip by itself is just WAY to much:


This is just for Dan's Republican lovin and Hillary not so lovin pleasure (its a toilet brush):

and here is an honorable mention because....ummm..... I still haven't really figured out the purpose of this one yet?

Now let me just say that YES i do realise that I have WAY to much time on my hands, but hey even after the beautiful start to our day (see last post) I still managed to get both kids in bed by 7:30, the house is clean, laundry done, Dan's at baseball and by golly I will google strange inventions all night long if I want.

Look how far that dude has the Q-tip up his nose. Now seriously I think he is touching his brain. I could never stick a Q-tip up my nose that far.
