Don’t forget to use your razor daily

Friday, June 16th, 2006

I just bought a new Norelco razor. So far, i’m satisfied with my purchase. It was relatively inexpensive, and it seems to work well.

But after reading the manual, one thing bothers me a little.

So, if I neglect to use the razor for a month, I have to plug it in and let it recharge for a whole year??? That’s harsh!

Here’s part of the menu from one of our local restaurants:

Call me crazy, but I think I’d rather have had the grilled chicken breast when it was still fresh.

The Marlboro Man is a bit shorter than I remember him.

When you use a handheld game system, you’ve always got to remember to be safe. The instruction manual for the GP2X has some helpful safety tips.

[Don't shrub your eyes]

So remember, in case you get blind eyes, call a doctor. Whatever you do, don’t shrub your eyes!

Plug it in, plug it in!

Here are the English instructions for the AC adapter made for the GP2X, a Korean handheld game system.

I can’t read these directions. They must be written in some kind of code.

Pregnancy can be rough. The body goes through lots of changes, and there’s a whole lot to learn about. Luckily, there are books available to help! Here is one such book:

Inside the book, you’ll find (on page 278) some information on labor and delivery, so you’ll know exactly what is going on when the big moment comes! Here’s a part of it:

They’re taking over our minds!

While doing a little research on South Carolina education, I came across a group called SC PIE, a “a grassroots organization committed to excellence in the public schools of South Carolina through the meaningful involvement of parents in children’s education”.

Their website suggests that they’re mainly a group interested in two things - putting religion in the science classroom and giving tax money to private schools. But this is the wtong blog for serious discussion of issues. You came here for funny stuff!

You can access this group’s newsletters online, as PDF documents. Here’s a sample, from December 2004.

Looks to me like the writer’s mind was decimated before she finished the headline!

When I was in Bartertown (okay, Lowe’s), I saw this particular color and style of carpet.

Can’t we just get … beyond Thunder Dome?
