Dyson DC39 Ball Canister Vacuum

I Got A Bad Case Of Lovin' Vacuum

Dyson goes to visit the doctor, doctor advises Dyson, the whole situation concludes, the end.

DYSON: Doctor Smaydenbauer-

DOCTOR: Hang on there. [finishes writing in pink diary] "Anyway, I have a patient now so we'll talk about Jason later. Byeeeeeeeee!" Ok Dyson, what's the sitch?

DYSON: I feel like I have something lodged in me.

DOCTOR: Isn't that your job?

DYSON: Yes, but something's not, y'know...moving through.

DOCTOR: Ok well let me just take an x-ray oh wait you're practically transparent so I'll just look at you. Hmm...

DYSON: What "hmm", WHAT?

DOCTOR: Did you know your ball canister is yellow?

DYSON: Like jaundice?

DOCTOR: Yeah. Well no. But this might mean something. 

DYSON: Level with me, doc. What does it mean?

DOCTOR: Oh, it's probably not-

The Debunker: Did Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Really Start the Great Chicago Fire?

Did you know that September is National Preparedness Month? The catchy government slogan is "Be disaster aware! Take action to prepare!" But how disaster-aware are we really? Lots of the things we know about life's worst calamities are actually wrong--and in some cases, dangerously so. Luckily, Ken Jennings, Jeopardy! survivor and professional know-it-all, is here to set us straight. Because what could be more disastrous than ignorance? Well, maybe a big volcano. Ignorance, and also a big volcano.

Schwinn Airdyne Upright Stationary Bike

Pedal Pedal Pedal

All you need is one'a these and a green screen.

Imagine biking down the Alps. Imagine biking across the Pacific Ocean. Imagine biking through the rain forest. Imagine biking on THE MOON. All these adventures can be yours with a Schwinn Airdyne and a green screen (green screen sold separately).

The synchronized motion of the Schwinn means the harder you pedal, the more resistance you'll get! So you can control the workout level. Do you want the experience of steering a pedal-boat across dolphin-filled waters? Do you want the experience of pedaling through a sandstorm in Saudi Arabia? THESE EXPERIENCES COULD BOTH SORT OF BE YOURS DEPENDING ON HOW HARD YOU PEDAL AND WHAT YOU PUT UP ON YOUR GREEN SCREEN.

And if you'd prefer to just eat a candy bar and watch reruns of The Simpsons while you give your legs a workout, well, it takes all kinds.

350TC 100% Pima Cotton 6Pc Sheet Set-4 Sizes

Hail Sateen

So comfy you might just worship the glorious night's sleep they offer.

Have you ever considered devoting your life to a sheet? For most people, that would seem silly. But if you've ever spend the night on a 350TC 100% Pima Cotton sateen weave sheet set WHICH COINCIDENTALLY WE HAVE RIGHT HERE HUH GO FIGURE you might just understand how someone could throw their lives away in the pursuit of hedonistic sateenism.

Of course there are some who might only dabble in the comfy arts, but the truth is clear! A bed cannot be sheeted twice! If you truly embrace the path of sateen, you will know a slumber unlike any other! A soft handfeel that few other sheets can duplicate! Plus some pillowcases!

Turn to sateen!

Music Monday: Scottish Independence

Happy Music Monday! Thursday, September 18th is the day that Scotland could begin the processing of being an independent nation. Which way will they go? Which way will the people lean? Scott’s gathered some exciting Scotland-connected bands to celebrate the eventful week to come.

God Help The Girl - Come Monday Night

 

God Help The Girl was born out of Belle & Sebastian, the Scottish band much loved by the hip and the cool. I don’t know their feelings on the vote, but I am so very happy they didn’t redo this song as “Come Thursday Night” with lyrics all about the referendum.

Democracy will prevail! See you after the jump?

Cocteau Twins - Lorelei

 

Music Monday: Royalty Songs

Happy Music Monday! Today we’re gonna celebrate the royalty of the world. They’ve got it hard, don’t they? Poor royalty. Will no one ever think of your sacrifices?

Thompson Twins - King For A Day

 

Kings are the top of the royalty heap. To be King for a day implies one could do anything one wanted! And yet, real royalty can’t just do anything they want. Because an unpopular King very quickly breeds a popular rebellion. Or, possibly, an independence referendum. But that’ll be next week.

It’s all about royals this week! See you after the jump!

The Who - The Acid Queen

 

There Can Be Only Pun: Computer TV

We've got a pretty high bar this week, y'all. May as well just give up now.

THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: Computer TV

Here's what we're looking for (only better):

  • Doogie Browser, MD
  • The Router Limits
  • Bill Wi the Science Fi
     

Your turn! Post your puns in the comments, and we'll post our favorites next week.

The best from last time (Wild Game)

Music Monday: Happy Birthday, Freddie

Happy Music Monday! There was no front man like Freddie Mercury. There will never again be a front man like Freddie Mercury. For a big chunk of his life, Freddie Mercury wasn’t even Freddie Mercury! That mustached rock god didn’t turn up until well after Queen was an established band, but now? How could he have been anything else? Today Scott’s paying tribute to a true rock-n-roll hero. Happy Belated Birthday, Freddie. This post’s all about you.

Queen - Stone Cold Crazy

 

Yeah, this long-haired metal king IS the same guy who’d be singing fond ballads near the end of his life! And it IS an incredible song! The best part about Freddie Mercury is that he could sell almost anything. A rock song about a water gun might get laughed off the stage today, but with Queen? People are throwing devil horns and singing along.

Luxury 10" Gel Memory Foam Mattress 5-Sizes

Waking Up Is Hard To Do

A memory foam mattress may forgive, but it'll never forget.

Dear Benjifer,

These are the hardest words I've ever had to write. But you deserve to hear it from me instead of from rumors and whispers. I'm leaving you, Benjifer.

I will always love you. Forever. I will cherish always the time we spent together, me cradling you in my luxurious jacquard cover, dispersing your body weight and reducing pressure points so I can watch you sleeping peacefully, undisrupted. But the relationship we have is not the relationship you need right now.

The thing is, Benjifer - your heart has been disrupted. I know about the pillow-top in Tahoe. And I know it wasn't a business trip. Ever since you returned, things have been different between us. Cooler. And it's not just the air flow increased by my Air Channel layer.

Pyrex 18-Piece Storage Set Color Lids

Pyreien

This 18-piece set can hold, in total, 30 CUPS worth of whatever! Unless the whatever is Pyrex-devouring aliens.

There are many things you can do with nine containers and nine lids. Many, many, many things you can store and save in the BPA-free, non-porous glass. Things to put in the freezer, or the microwave, or the dishwasher if you just want to clean it off the sides before you nest and stack your containers.

But please. PLEASE. Do not under any circumstances stuff a Pyrex-eating alien into one of these containers.

Hopefully, though, that will never come up in your life. It really only applies in a few select government labs and most of those are under secret mountain military bases with very strict rules about people bringing their lunch.
