The coldest winter I ever spent

Oops! I was supposed to get it in DVD! Wrong button!
But at least my anti-religion arsenal arrived safe and sound… Dennet’s “Breaking The Spell” and Henderson’s “The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster”. (I didn’t really realize I bought 2 anti-religion books at the same time until they arrived)
Now I’ve got to sell the VHS version and buy it on DVD. I’ve got to wait another week or two to see Adam say those imortal words…
I’ve got a bit of an ant problem in my bathroom. They are tiny cute lovely little ants. They are so curious, wandering around and talking to their friend ants wiggling their antennae. Watching them walk in and out of the poisoned bait trap I set bothers me.
I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Cheese Weasel Day. Did you get any cheese under your keyboard today?
I was always enamored of those Leptoprin commercials… I’ve talked about them to friends… talking about the announcer’s piercing blue eyes looking right into my chubby heart. Her intensity driving me to say, “I -am- strong enough to buy such a powerful weight loss compound! I am! When is a diet pill worth $153 a bottle? Now! Dammit! Where’s my check book?” But it’s like other people didn’t stay up as late as I did or something. None of my friends believe Leptoprin Lady exists! Here’s a little proof (and a bit of a homage) that the stuff really exists.
The Federal Trade Commission loves Leptoprin so much, they got someone to make a transcript of the whole commercial.
Last night I went out to an Aaron Jae night club experience at Whisper, 535 Florida St. It was more fun than I thought it would be. Danced, drank, met some cool people including some Space Cowboys. I haven’t been to a show in a long time where the DJs were celebrated; I wasn’t expecting much but I was very impressed. They talented and made the dance floor a lot more fun.
Must chill now. Going to bed at 4am will do that.
I was in a Walgreens today in the footcare aisle. I’ve had yucky toes from a nail fungus for a long while so I was checking out the latest products to rid myself of the yuck. I found NonyX Nail Gel. It claims to get rid of built-up nail keratin, which has been a yucky side effect of the yucky fungus. I was interested.
I noticed that NonyX was by far the most expensive product on the shelf at $25. “Hmm, “I thought,” it must be powerful stuff if it costs that much.” I almost walked out with a bottle. But since I’m such a comparison shopper, I decided to do a little homework first…
Ingredients: Water, ethanoic acid, xanthan gum, fragrance.
Hmm.. What is “ethanoic acid”? A google search says it’s just another name for acetic acid… the main active ingredient in vinegar!
They are selling 4 oz bottles of vinegar for $25. What a country!
I’ve started my toes on $2/gallon vinegar treatments. I’ll tell you in a month how it went.
