2 Juggling Balls
Juggling Balls
11/25/07

These
bean bags come in packages of 3 and are meant to help a person
practice the art of juggling. Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced
the third bean bag, thus rendering the other two useless. They also
come with a book called The Art of Juggling
or something like that. The book purports to be able to teach
absolutely anyone how to juggle. Certainly I must take issue with this
false claim. Could this book teach all of these groups how to juggle?

  • Amputees
  • Blind People (The book is not written in Braille)
  • Ferrets
  • Werebears
  • Quadriplegics
  • Fetuses
  • Old People

No. The answer to all of these is no. Therefore I am giving these juggling balls

Cinnamon Roll Pop Tarts
Pop Tarts
11/25/07

Pop Tarts are undoubtedly the most popular brand of toaster pastry. Sure, challengers like Toaster Strudel have attempted to
unseat the champion, but they don’t seem capable of defeating the Pop
Tart. This may have something to do with Toaster Strudel’s crust. It is
far too dry and flaky to be considered pleasant to chew on. You may as
well be crunching through the carapace of an African Black Beetle, in
order that you might suck down the bitter organ paste within.

But
this is not to say that Pop Tarts do not have their dark side.
Kellogg’s, their minds intoxicated from the blind rush of power and
glory that comes from sitting atop the toaster pastry empire, has
recently begun to release approximately 500 billion new flavors of Pop
Tart in every flavor imaginable. The flavor I chose out of all these
(for some reason), was Cinnamon Roll.

Cinnamon Sucks
Booooo!

What
is a cinnamon roll pop tart like? Obviously the consistency is the same
as any “regular” pop tart, which means that if you swallow a little too
much of it at once without anything to drink, it will become lodged in
your throat and you will asphyxiate. As for the taste, it tastes like a
vanilla pop tart with cinnamon in it. Huzzah.

If you would like
to experience Cinnamon Roll pop tarts in the truest way, do what I did:
Don’t eat anything until late afternoon. Then, eat two Cinnamon Roll
pop tarts consecutively, chug mouthfuls of thick juice out of an orange
juice container, have a glass of whole milk, drink some Wild Cherry
Pepsi when it is offered to you, then eat a package of Runts candy you
find on a shelf at work. Come on, I dare you.

Death Drug (Tape)
Death Drug Tape
11/25/07

Death Drug is a film about the dangers of PCP which features Miami Vice
superstar Philip Michael Thomas. The film is a scathing indictment of
PCP, and serves as a warning to those who might ingest the substance
for “kicks”. According to this film, PCP users will experience many (if
not all) of these shocking symptoms:

  • Hallucinating that hair brushes are alligators
  • Becoming mildly irritable
  • Sweeping papers off tables in a half-rage
  • Hallucinating that others are wearing cheap rubber Halloween masks
  • Seeing rats in grocery store produce
  • Punching or pushing at loved ones
  • Failing to become mediocre one-hit-wonder you were destined to become
  • Dashing in front of speeding semi tractor while screaming wildly
  • Dying

This
film did an excellent job of engaging the viewer. I really did feel as
if I were under the influence of a controlled substance while watching
it. For example, I experienced a strange sort of hazy disorientation. I
could not tell what was going on in the plot, why certain events were
taking place, or who half the characters in the film were. It was
decidedly unpleasant.

No 2 Drugs
SAY No 2 DRUGZ KIDZ

This
movie was also padded out by 3 or 4 musical numbers in which the main
character (a musician) performs different songs. Well, when I say he
performs different songs I mean that he pretends to play the piano
while a tape of a performance which doesn’t even contain a piano part
plays on the soundtrack. There is also a 20 minute long music video in
the middle of the movie, which is important because it reveals a lot
about the protagonist (i.e. he is a musician).

Overall, I give this film

Brush Attachment for Vacuum
Brush Attachment
11/25/07

Modern
vacuum cleaners usually come with a few standard attachments like the
crevice tool, wide stairs cleaning thing, and the brush attachment. I
have chosen the brush cleaning attachment out of all these because it
was the one that happened to be lying in the middle of my floor when I
decided to take a picture of something. I should also note that in the
photo the extension tube is also attached to the brush. I am not,
however, reviewing the tube (sorry).

What use is this brush
attachment? I have never known anyone to use it in my entire life. The
crevice tool? Stick it in a crevice. Stair cleaning tool? Use it to
clean the stairs of course! But what about the brush? I think it’s
supposed to be dusting attachment, but I question its effectiveness in
this area. My vacuum cleaner includes this brush AND a separate
self-cleaning dusting attachment. Now why, might I ask, if the amazing
brush attachment is SO GREAT at dusting would they manufacture another
complicated apparatus to accommodate a self-cleaning duster? The answer
is clear: To willfully decieve the public.

I rest my case. Judgement for the plantiff in the amount of
