Ooma Telo VoIP Home Phone System
We can only apologize
Branson selected at random.
Hello, hello baby
You called?
I can't hear a thing
Not even with my additional headset, you see, see
Wha-wha-wha did you say?
Oh, the phone company sucks
Sorry, I cannot call you
The line is busy
Li-line is busy
Li-line is busy
Sorry, I cannot call you
The line is busy
Just a second
With Ooma I can make calls all day
You should cancel plans with your phone compan-ay
Ooma works in HD
Caller-ID and call-waiting is free
U.S. calls? Pay only tax and fees
I'm in a tizzy
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna pay any more
Using that old landline is just a big chore

Choose Your Samsung 1080p LED Smart TV
Ouch, That Smarts
Ooh, look, everybody, it's Mr. Show-It-All.
You think you're soooo smart, don't you? Like you're God's gift to people who watch TVs possibly with a variety of other devices just because you can use your built-in Wi-Fi to connect your Smart Hub and load a few apps. OK, a few dozen apps. Or a few hundred, whatever. So, what, that makes you some kind of genius?
OK, great, so you can stream content from YouTube and Netflix and Hulu. Are they giving a Nobel Prize for that now? You think you're all that and a board of chips just because you can play video from an attached USB device, or music from a networked PC, or photos from your smart phone. What good did that ever do anyone, besides give them hours of pleasure?
Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch- 5 Colors
Whoaaaaa
It's your phone... but on your wrist... *mind explodes*
Not thirty years ago people were listening to vinyl, wearing bright colored shirts, recovering from a banking crisis and talking on huge wall phones. Today it's exactly the same... except for the part where the phone isn't on the wall. It's on your wrist. Your wrist.
It's hard to imagine what a game changer this is. Possibly because... it's not. No, seriously. People have been planning for this day since like forever. A way to get phone calls and texts on your wrists isn't anything that's in any way new.
HP 17.3" Full HD i7 TouchSmart Laptop
Supply-Side Electronics
No, you're not seeing things. Out of our desperate attempt to be rich love for giving you options, we've added a little something extra for today. Come on in and check it out!
If there's one thing we've learned in nine-plus years of hustling discount widgets, it's that "good or bad?" is the wrong question to ask about a product. The question is, is the price right? A gizmo that stinks like feces at $100 might shine like gold at $20.
So we're hoping our latest price drop puts the shine on this HP 17.3" Touchsmart laptop. Aside from the irrational fear and loathing that Windows 8 inspires in the hearts of men, it can do a lot for a laptop at this price. That 1920x1080 touchscreen, 8GB DDR3 memory, the 1TB hard drive, four USB ports including one USB 3.0: these are burly specs. This laptop totally shreds, people! Come on!
Kershaw Ken Onion Leek Knife w/ Speed Safe
Take A Leek
The only EDC knife named after the national vegetable of Wales.
"Put the knife down. It's just a game. It's not worth getting this upset over Trivial Pursuit."
No way! Not until you admit you only got that question right because you've already read all the cards!
"I'm not going to do that. I knew that answer fair and square."
YOU DID NOT! Nobody just knows the national vegetable of Wales!
"I did. I do. And you should, too. It's got the same name as your knife. Only your Leek has an ambidextrous assisted-opening system, a modified drop-point blade of top-grade Sandvik 14C28N steel, and a sleek stainless-steel handle."
How do you know all this? How do you know more about my knife than I do? HOW DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING?
"Sigh... next game night, we're playing Chutes & Ladders."

Doubledown Ace 4 Hitch Bike Rack
The longest two minutes of your life.
Oh, sure. I know what you're thinking: "A bike rack quality inspector? How interesting could that be?"
You probably think I spend my whole day intently watching over an endless stream of belts and knobs and buttons. That I stare at brackets for hours on end saying things like, "This tilting mechanism needs more swivel linkage shifts."
I bet you believe I sit around agonizing about widgets that are mere millimeters wide.
Are the widgets wide enough? Are they TOO wide?
Yep, you probably have an image of me, don't you, that I'm the sort of person who hovers over scattered pieces of the rack, meticulously searching for divots in the locking cable.
Ultimately, I'm guessing you assume that my work is entirely dull.

ClimaCtic Decision
Which Clima do you prefer?
ClimaCool? ClimaLite?
Yes, they seem very similar, but they're actually very different. It's kind of like how American Idol and The X Factor seem the same or how Battle Royale and The Hunger Games seem the same or how Top Gun and Iron Eagle seem the same or how Agent Cody Banks and Spy Kids seem the same or how Antz and A Bug's Life seem the same... they're actually different in SO MANY WAYS.
Let's first look at the ClimaLite: "It pulls sweat away from the skin to the outer fabric face for quick evaporation, enhancing the body's natural temperature regulation."
Now, take a look at the ClimaCool: "It conducts heat and sweat away from the body."
The Trivial Eye: Young Adult Novels
Today, the day after International Children's Book Day, seems like a good time to celebrate Young Adult novels. Of course, in a better world, they would just be called novels. Those who judge a book by which section it's shelved in are missing out. The best YA fiction can be as serious, as funny, and as moving as anything on the latest prize shortlist - and I'm sure at least one of these classics has left an indelible impression on you, too.
Answers are here. Please post your guesses, speculations, or arguments below! But know this: the Trivial Eye is presented for public amusement and no prizes are offered other than that familiar feeling of aggravation that so much of your mind is occupied by useless trivia.
