Today is Valentine’s Day, a day when it’s very profitable to sell roses. I heard a rumor that it might be Mango-Man’s favorite holiday of the year, because this is about the only time it’s acceptable for him to be seen in public looking at flowers to buy. He hasn’t said this, and I’m sure he will vehemently deny it to try and salvage his image, but it sounds true enough to post here. 🙂
Unfortunately e-mail spam is a part of life now, so we might as well laugh at it when we can. Recently I got an e-mail from an unknown name with a subject of :
***SPAM*** Hi
Uhh, is that supposed to make me want to open it? How dumb can spammers get?
But the stupidity doesn’t stop there! Just the other day I got a spam e-mail that had my e-mail address as the “from” address, and the subject was “February 76% OFF”. Um, is that supposed to fool me into thinking it’s a valid e-mail? Like I would send myself an e-mail with that subject line and then not remember it at all? Stupid…
Today I’m going to link to a few gaming-related videos. Even if you’re not currently into gaming, these reference mostly “old-school” games like Super Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong, so almost everyone can relate to these.
What would it be like if someone combined two of the best games ever? I’m talking about Super Mario Bros. and Doom. Somebody made a Doom mod and then added some effects to merge it with Mario. Check out the video : click here.
Here’s a video of a commercial for the first Super Smash Bros. game on the Nintendo 64. It features live-action people in costume beating the crap out of each other. It was a great introduction to the first game in this series.
Here’s an example of somebody with a love for gaming and too much time. 🙂 Check out Lego Donkey Kong and Lego Super Mario Bros.
You know how there’s those breath strips (skrips) like Listerine “PocketPaks” where you can put one on your tongue and it dissolves to create fresher breath? Those were a good idea. But I’ve got an idea to take that concept much farther.
I have the Buffet o’ Blog R&D (Research & Development) department working on some strips that will dissolve into thin air. The purpose of these will be for those people who insist on passing gas near your comfort zone. (You know who you are!) These strips can be used to cover up your own fart slip, or they can be used when a friend rips one near you and walks away. These strips will have cleansing bubbles that remove the malodorous methane-based odor from the air, leaving only fresh air behind, with a hint of citrus. We may make other flavors available, such as mountain meadows, but they’ll be worked on once the product is fully working properly.
If the carefully formulated formula formulates as planned, you could actually leave a strip (or two) in your underdrawers (drawz) for those days when you have a rumbly in your tumbly and there’s a forecast of thunder from down under. Then you’ll be able to break wind while in important meetings at work (as long as you keep the volume down). Coworkers may notice a freshness emanating from you, but you can attribute that to your cologne / perfume.
Yes, when this product is released, you won’t have to fear hanging out with your extra-gaseous friends anymore. Their foul flatulence can be neutralized with this revolutionary new product. And it will benefit you personally, too, as you won’t have to fear the shame and embarrassment of farting in public or at family gatherings. You will feel a new-found freedom in life, and I suspect it will even help you enjoy life more.
Coming soon to a store near you…
