I Am Crushing You! (pinch pinch)


Wall Mount Can Crusher

Okay, so maybe so didn't watch the Kids in the Hall and you didn't get the (pinch pinch ) reference. Sorry. But this wall mounted can crusher will make light work of crushing your aluminum cans. That makes them a lot easier to recycle, whether you donate them to a local school, turn them in for cash, or place them in a recycle bin, those cans will take up a lot less space if you are crushing them.

Also works to take out a little frustration at the end of the day.

"I am crushing you!"

Stacy and Clinton, We Need Your Help!


Dog Outfit

If there was a What Not to Wear for dogs, this pooch would be the first.  Ok, so maybe this dog is a girl but this smooshed face little cutie doesn't look very feminine.  Although on the site it says the dogs name is Bentley.  Isn't that a boy's name?  I am assuming this is a female because I hope they wouldn't do this to a male dog. 

I'm a dog lover but this is just taking it a little to far with this outfit from PetSmart.  Perhaps a poodle would have looked better in this one, I don't know, but it definitely isn't working for this terrier.  Poor baby!

Under the Cover of Darkness


Today is Sneak Some Zucchini on Your Neighbors Porch Night.  You may be asking yourself what kind of holiday is this,  if so then you have never planted zucchini. Zucchini plants have a habit of producing more zucchini than you could possible eat or give away.  Which lead to the creation of this holiday. So if you have way more zucchini than you know what to do with wait till dark and gift your neighbors with some of your bounty.  Of course one inventive scultor turned her extra zuchinni into Vegetable Parchment Bowls for votive candles.  What will you do with your extra zuchinni?

Don't Throw Out That Old PC


Motherboard Business Card Case

Wow. I could start an enitre industry with the old computer parts stashed in our garage (anyone need a TRS-80?), but it looks like someone beat us to it.

This sleek Motherboard Business Card Case has a circuit board cover which fits snugly over a brass-colored metal base. Holds up to a dozen cards. No two patterns are exactly alike.

They also have cufflinks and a money clip. Dress up your techno buddy in style and help keep all those nasty computer bits out of the landfill at the same time!

Don't Throw It Out


Don't Throw It Out Book

When I first saw this title I thought of my mother, because she is always fussing at me for being a pack rat. "Get rid of all that mess!", she tells me. But I know that as soon as I throw it out I will need it (whatever "it" happens to be.)

As it turns out, this book has practical, money-saving ideas for making things last longer, brought to you by Lori Baird and the editors of Yankee Magazine. It tells you how to maximise the value of just about everything you own, plus how to learn to say good–bye to possessions by recycling, donating, selling or tossing.

Wow, gotta hand it to those frugal Yankees. My hat's off to ya.

He's the Man! Or is He?


Fool Some of the People but...

Apparently he is the man, he has his own sign!  Do you know this person?  The one who's wisdom rises above all others?  A gift idea for the Bob you know from What on Earth.  They have an entire line of "Bob" stuff.  I don't understand what is so special about Bob.

Is there some joke about this that I have not heard?  Why did they pick the name Bob?  I am sure there are others with different names who also possess this wisdom.  For example, I am sure there are some...lets just pick a name out of the air.  How about Gary?  I am sure there are some Gary's out there who's wisdom exceeds all others.

Laser Scissors


Laser Scissor

Sure, I know you're thinking the same thing I was thinking - Laser Scissors? Cool! Scissors that cut with a laser!

Well, these are actually laser guided scissors. Mounted on the handle of the scissors is a laser light beam used to guide you while cutting for accurate straight cuts. 

Micro serrated edges cut cleanly, regardless of whether you are cutting paper for scrap booking or a school project, fabric for a quilt or hemming a pair of trousers. And let's not forget those presents!

(Attention Star Wars fans - you are allowed to hum while using these scissors. Wooooom Woooooom....)

Dog Tired


Today is Work Like a Dog Day.  This is the day to acknowlege all of those people who work like a dog.  People that work like a dog are not necessarily workaholics. Workaholics work all the time, people who work hard and put all of their effort into doing their job are the ones that work like a dog.  A great gift for someone who works like a dog would be this How to Work Like a Cat book. Maybe they could then get some rest and not be dog tired.
