LEAPING STRAW ALERT!!

Last night, as i was happily chatting away while i was at Fasta Pasta, not noticing my lemonade on the table, the straw, the amazing leaping straw, LEAPT out of my glass, and landed on the floor. it was most upsetting, and i had to drink from the glass. oh well... just letting everyone know... they're still out there!!!

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!

hello all! welcome to my first post, against this newfounded attack of schemiforous and subtle 'objects' which in reality, are really out to get nice, honest friendly people like ourselves.

i have a new addition for you to all be cautious of. something that you have probably never considered, but alas, its there, waiting to get YOU.

CAR HEADLIGHTS. would you beleive it? if someone had stopped me in the street and warned me of the woes of such seemingly useful and nice things, i would have scoffed at them, and called them a loony. but no longer.

it seems that my right lowbeam headlight bulb is merely PRETENDING to be dead. how do i know this? becuase if you remove the little critter (with great caution of course) and inspect (not for the feint of heart) you can see the filament is still fully intact. i simple measure to ensure the object is not thrown away, removing all potential of attack (a form of simple camoflague if you will). upon returning the globe, and rattling it around, it works, but not for long...
so BE WARNED! they are OUT TO GET YOU.

if you're mean, get a mechanic to do it for you, or if you're not, ... get a sibling to


untill next time!

Dust Busters: Busted

"How much would a dust-buster bust,
If a dust buster would bust dust?" - Annonymous

The grammatically correct answer to this age-old question would, obviously and undoubtedly be lots. (check it yourself) However, sadly, our world does not revolve around grammar in the way it should, and therein lies the inherent flaw in our poetic question. A dust-buster would bust lots of dust, if only it would bust dust at all.

Dust-busters (and tragically, their manufacturers ((yes, there are human traitors amongst us)) ) have been misleading us for all these years. Their name is wrong, because in fact, they don’t bust dust at all! Anyone who has ever tried to suck up dust in one of these fiendish devices would have no doubt soon found that far from removing the dust from the floor, as it claims to be able to do, it opts instead to smear it all over the place, and as an added bonus: creates Dust Bunny Clumps!!!

Dust is simply too small for it! These wicked electricity guzzlers are only capable of consuming larger objects. Fine, that’s manageable. Or so you would think. Five minutes before school, you decide to be (just typed “bee”…wow, identity problems) a responsible household member, and do a “spot of quick cleaning.” Alas, it is not to be. The non-dust-busting-dust-buster (which incidentally has probably had more rest than you), having spent the whole night on the charger, is still not charged enough to be effective…be ALERT and ALARMED!
