Heh heh!
If you’ve ever gotten to sit by a fire, you know how mesmerizing it can be to watch the flames. Things spark, pop, and it almost feels as if they’re dancing. You wouldn’t normally think of a fire as a form of entertainment, but with the right additions, it definitely could be!
Everyone knows that diamonds are a man’s best friend, and that they last forever. But did you know there’s a planet called 55 Cancri, which is twice the size of earth and eight times heavier which is supposed to be at least 1/3 made up of diamonds? Nope, we didn’t either. Now that’s what you call bling. For those of us with more modest ambitions, we’ve got a little something for you to chew on. Not literally of course.
Toast is a special kind of food that can be the epitome of a breakfast, or the sign of a bad day just starting to unfold. Getting burnt toast makes the morning ritual take longer, and means that you’ve wasted food if it has passed a point of no return. If only you could see your toast becoming delicious from the side instead of peering down over top of it, maybe then you would never again have to deal with…
There’s a pretty good chance that you’ve had a fortune cookie at least once in your life. I say at least once, because the other times you just break the cookie in half and read your fortune without actually eating the cookie part. If you want a new twist on a old favorite, and are a fan of cupcakes, then you’re going to love this.
If you’re a Whovian, then you likely know of the 11th Doctor’s sonic screwdriver. You are also likely aware of how useful that little creation is when it’s needed. While we can’t have our own functioning versions, there are replicas out there that light up and have sound effects. Apart from looking like the Doctor’s, they don’t have any real use (much to our dismay).
There is one food that stands above the rest: bacon. The smell, taste, and texture are what can make a breakfast go from bland to superb in no time flat (if it’s cooked properly that is). If you and your loved one are past just being fond of this crunchy or floppy favorite, then you probably wouldn’t mind smelling it throughout the day.
Have you seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? I’d feel a bit shocked if you haven’t, actually. If you’ve pondered how a swallow could carry a coconut, then you’ve likely wished you had two halves of a coconut so that you sound like you’re riding a horse. While we can’t exactly tote around a coconut all day for a bit of comic relief, it can be attached to our modes of transportation for an added dab of hilarity.
It’s nice to have your tablet handy to read a book or get some work done. However, carrying it out in the open on a bus or train might make you a bit paranoid (it’s just a several hundred dollar piece of equipment that can easily be stolen or broken, what’s the big deal?). You can always carry a bag of some sort, but that exposes your glass surface to all the sharp and pointy objects in there. If you’d…
Making an epic dinner is no easy task. There are cooking temperatures to be wary of, the freshness of your ingredients to factor in, and not to mention that timing is everything. It feels like every aspect is an enemy, just waiting to make your meal average. If you want to show your dinner who’s boss, you’re going to need the weaponry to do it.
OK we dare you to sit down at a Thanksgiving feast and put on a Like Dislike Napkin in the wrong position in front of your hosts. Bonus points if you’re celebrating the meal at your in-laws or your significant other’s parents. If you manage to escape alive, and live to tell the tale, send us your comic photo of the shotgun chase and we’ll publish it for all to see. A pack of two washable napkins costs €13.00 and…
We don’t often feature stuff which is so horrendous it makes us gasp, but in this case we’ve made an exception as a public service warning. So for all those good folk who are thinking of buying this Printed Christmas Tree Poster as a replacement for a real or plastic Yuletide tree, we urge you to think again. If only for the sake of the children.
Having a baby means no time for a lot of things at the beginning. Showering is a rarity, microwaving meals is about as close to cooking a meal as you’ll get, and being able to clean the house is a laughable idea. You don’t exactly want to deal with a maid or another set of hands coming in the house, so why not get your baby to help you out?
We’re all excited for the first Hobbit movie coming out next month, this is a known fact. Some will be seeing it with friends the day it comes out, and there will be those of us dressed in our best Middle Earth outfit we can muster, waiting in lines hours before the midnight showing. If you really want your attire to stand out above the rest, then you need the right props and accessories.
Well, today was the first day our town had snow. That means it’s time to pull out every blanket within a half mile radius, as well as the space heater. Typing on a keyboard makes it rather difficult to keep warm, as you have to pull your arms out of the wrap of blankets that you formed and expose your hands to the frigid air. If you don’t want to have to wear a Snuggie and gloves, hand warmers might…
There are some homes that still use radiators for heat. If you live in one of these homes, and have a cat, then you know that they will try as hard as possible to find a comfy spot to sleep that is right next to it. Those things can get a bit on the hot side at times, and if you’re worried your kitty might hurt themselves, you can take steps to keep them safe.
