Keep The Cat Off the Keyboard

Friday Apr 11, 2008

Everyone with a cat needs one of these things. Its a cute little perch that might convince the cat to not sit on your hands while you are typing. The website that holds it boasts attractive cat furniture for those that prefer not to have less visually pleasing cat toys. Still think the stuff is unattractive, but less ugly is better than nothing. The KitIn Box is $49.99 at The Redefined Feline.


Potty Monkey Had An Accident

Monday Apr 7, 2008

Being a hair partial to stupid toys, this Potty Monkey I find hilarious. While the fascination with kids toys with the need to potty has always boggled the mind, its easier to understand the mean kids that torture the poor toy and make it soil itself. I totally agree with Andrew on that standpoint. Alas I have a niece that refuses to be potty trained so this goofy thing may be worth a shot.

Tea So Fresh Its Not Ready Yet

Wednesday Apr 2, 2008

Have you ever felt that your pre-bottled tea was just not fresh enough? Apparently some folks in Japan felt that way so they are selling tea that has not been brewed yet. There is a cap on top that holds the tea so when you drink it, it will be as fresh as you want it to be. Being really lazy or busy is part of buying pre-bottled tea. I sort of defeats the purpose to add another step. But hey….someone will buy many of them.
