You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch

It's not even Thanksgiving yet, and the Grinch has already stolen Christmas. A lot of Christmas.

And apparently he's a truck driver.

To myself - "hmmm. smells like Christmas behind this truck"

Million Dollar Ideas: DIY 3D TV

Yes folks, I've done it again. DIY3DTV. No, it's not a serial number, it's a dream come true.

Problem:

The biggest issue we have with real life is that it's real, and we have to walk around and turn our heads to see and experience things. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just stare in one direction and not have to interact at all to acquire the same experience?

Solution:

TV

But if you want the fullest bestest experience, with things popping out at you and the like, a lot of money is required. The more time you spend making money, the less time you'll have to enjoy your better TV. It's a vicious cycle of spending more time working and spending less time experiencing life... in front of your TV.

UNTIL NOW

Expensive, boring flat-screen TV:

AWESOME 3D TV:

usually free on craigslist or your parents basement!

I actually believe that the 2 tube television setup could work for 3D broadcasts, and you wouldn't even need glasses! All you'd have to do is focus on a dot 10 feet behind the TVs. Now, go forth and enjoy hours of DIY 3D programming!

Caution: Prolonged DIY 3D use may result in eye strain, headaches, and chicken-pock vision.

Rocket Tank

It shoots rockets. It doesn't fly. Sorry.

Is $25 too much to spend on a kids toy for my older brother? Survey says...

BOIL HIM IN [olive] OIL!

"...but don't pay too much for it. We're on a budget, guys"

Really Kroger? Really? I know it's a sale, and sales change, but who in the world would buy the smaller bottle? Is there a prize at the bottom? Do I get a monopoly piece with every purchase? Save the whales??? WHY!?

Ok. 9 question marks is my limit. Now, to the person reading this post that's saying to themselves, "I don't WANT 50 oz of olive oil. I only WANT 25 oz of olive oil and I'll be damned if the price makes me change my mind!"

Next time you're at Kroger, buying olive oil, give me a call and i'll meet you there. We'll pour half of the 50oz container into another container which I will bring with me. Then, at the checkout station, insist that you pay the extra 62 cents for the smaller bottle. WIN - WIN.

And maybe we'll high-five in the parking lot. Maybe we won't. Only one way to find out. *wink wink*

sorry for the extra question marks.

Not for the Habitual Grass Cutter

Lawn moving is something that we've all been brainwashed trained to do often. Did you ever wonder if you were doing the right thing? Did you ever question this monotonous act of delawnation? It may seem like a stretch, but the manufacturers of fertilizers, lawn mowers, and ankle socks are in cahoots to keep you mindlessly trimming, all the livelong day.

Well folks, if you can afford the anxiety medications to let your lawn grow out a bit, just look what fun you can have! The possibilities are plentiful!

If you can't have fun with your lawn, you'd might as well pave it over and draw grass on it with chalk.

Hey, that could be fun too!
