			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the Ridiculous new items, intended to separate you from your greenbacks department&#8230;</p>
<p>We have the amazing Rolling Razor.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-336" href="http://laffs.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/absurd-new-razor/razor/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-336" title="razor" src="http://laffs.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/razor.jpg?w=270&#038;h=270" alt="razor" width="270" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>Ok, here are the world changing claims:</p>
<div>
<p><strong>Rolling Razor, Changing Shaving Forever!</strong></p>
<p>The most advanced shaving technology in over a century. The multi-directional Rolling Razor for men was engineered to intuitively apply the perfect amount of pressure to the area being shaved. A man can effectively shave his face, neck and head without painful scraping and irritation. Completely customize your shave and be sure to find the Rolling Razor model that best fits your personality.</p>
<ul>
<li>Designed for ultra precision and control</li>
<li>Easy to use. Flows with your natural motion</li>
<li>Faster Shave by using dual heads</li>
<li>Non-Slip Rubber Grip helps prevent slipping</li>
<li>3 long lasting precision blades on each convex cartridge</li>
<li>Stylish look with a bonus designer base</li>
<li>Easy cartridge replacement</li>
<li>Travel with comfort by using the safety guard (included)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p><span>Price : $14.95     I&#8217;ll take two, <a href="http://www.rollingrazor.com/products/1001/Silver-Streak-Rolling-Razor">HERE</a></span></p>
<p>My prediction:  One year shelf life, then QVC, then 1.99 at the <a href="http://www.biglots.com/">BIG LOTS </a></p>
<p>Ok it has a great site, nice photos, good overall idea but the product.. Well, I &#8220;found&#8221; it on or about 5/15/09&#8230; Check back in a year and see if it is still as amazing as they claim.</p>
<p>/\__/\<br />
 (=&#8217;.'=)<br />
 (&#8220;)_(&#8220;)</p>
<p>If possible, The world domination bunny would give this two thumbs down!</p>
<p>PS, They make em for chicks too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">When I was a but a yute, whilst traveling the world during my dad’s stint with the international zig zag attachment association,<span>  </span>(IZZA)<span>  </span>we lived for a short while in small country of Etchasketchistan. It was there I discovered the unparallel wonders and unending joys of the dual knob wonder called the Dial O writer. Eventually, the toy gained world wide acclaim and the local government changed the toy’s name to Etch-a-Sketch. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">From that memorable time spent with the amazing time consuming and not-so-educational mechanical inscription device until now I have been fascinated with the toy. In what will very likely be the crowning event of my professional career I am currently on track to become the President of the International Etch-a-Sketch Association in 2018 </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">For your own Etch-a-Sketch skip through memory lane, you can play around with a new electronic but 63% realistic version at this link:<span>  </span><a href="http://www.etchy.org/">http://www.etchy.org/</a><span>  </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">As you know if you have kept up, I started a test blog to learn how to link social networking to business development. Recently, I have added some developments, as follows: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">On the LAFFS blog, I’ve added a section called DEMOTIVATORS, inspired by <a onclick="return mugicPopWin(this,event);" oncontextmenu="mugicRightClick(this);" href="http://despair.com/"><span style="color:purple;">http://despair.com/</span></a></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">You’ve seen beautiful photographs coupled with <span style="color:blue;">utterly ridiculous versions of impossible notions and platitudinous psychobabble; they’re ubiquitous in today’s corporate ivory towers…</span> DEMOVITATORS turns that nonsense on its ear while elevating insensitivity to its logical conclusion.<span>  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">If you’re a hypersensitive ninny, you’ll need to thicken your skin to enjoy these pearls of real wisdom from our friends at despair.com. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">I have also added a new business and general interest blog, <a href="http://jeffnix.wordpress.com/"><span style="color:purple;">http://jeffnix.wordpress.com/</span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">It has now and will be expanded to include business as well as personal interest topics inserted as categories. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Click to the blogs to enjoy this experimental; slice of life, </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the <em>uselessness of facebook </em> department,  this post is a partial reprint from our friends at <a onclick="return mugicPopWin(this,event);" oncontextmenu="mugicRightClick(this);" href="http://www.despair.com/">Despair.com</a>&#8230;  enjoy ( And buy a shirt from them!)</p>
<p align="center"><strong>I DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW 1 RANDOM THING ABOUT YOU. </strong></p>
<p>It’s become one of the fastest moving fads in the history of social networking. In one week’s time, over 5 million narcissists, braggarts, exhibitionists, and serial jabbermouths have posted notes to Facebook, disclosing “<a href="http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/articles/2009/02/07/the_hit_list/?page=full" target="_blank"><span style="color:#1a5a99;">25 random things</span></a>” about themselves to their online network of family, friends, friends-of-friends, and of course more than a few pseudo-friends who are just keeping up appearances because they lacked the guts to decline a “friend invite”. All the while, these very same people are exposing their dirty laundry, trivial observations, unsolicited fantasies, yawn-inducing confessions, white-washed biographical highlight reels and probably a hefty share of outright lies to an armada of sexual deviants, unstable stalkers, future blackmailers, potentially nefarious foreign and domestic intelligence agencies, and a legion of marketing bots- all of which are probably paying closer attention than those the list was intended for (for reasons best left unmentioned).</p>
<p>Just what kind of “random things” have been revealed via this mass act of egotistical disgorgement? Why, a friend of journalist Dan Zak of the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/05/AR2009020502252.html?hpid=topnews" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2c7cff;">Washington Post</span></a> confessed, “I have pooped my pants more than three times as an adult.” Dallasite Mandy Aguilar <a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/020609dnmet25things.dccd21.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2c7cff;">reveals</span></a>, “…my dog kisses me on the mouth. It’s cool.” An associate of Time magazine reporter Claire Suddath inexplicably <a href="http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1877187,00.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2c7cff;">revealed</span></a>, “I like to tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it would be like to be a dinosaur.”</p>
<p>Multiple the pointlessness and puerility of those three disclosures times 41.6 million- and you’ll begin to get a sense of the sheer enormity of this catastrophe. Has there ever been a greater amount of trivial idiocy manufactured in a smaller amount of time and then forced upon a greater number of victims in the history of human civilization? Okay, besides the <a onclick="return mugicPopWin(this,event);" oncontextmenu="mugicRightClick(this);" href="http://site.despair.com/despairwear/yourblog/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2c7cff;">blogosophere</span></a> then?</p>
<p>Unlikely.   </p>
