You might have something there. Find out if The Hinnerator will cut you a check for all his “love gifts,” blast your way in, right some wrongs, and Benny can come in and heal all the casualties. He’ll recoup his losses in no time! It would be much better PR than sitting around a pallet of shrinkwrapped memos from the Accounting Department like he does now.
I have a friend that is an info-addict. He has the flo-be, the Supreme Blender, and a house full of stuff he buys. Most everything he has bought worked wonderfully. I have been tempted on a few things, but they lose their hook in me with TMI. They just overdo it. The Ronco Rotisserie for instance was an amazing device that had me reaching for the phone, until I saw how magical it was. This truly amazing product turns the chicken around so that all the juices stay on and in the chicken instead of dripping off. But when you put burgers, ribs or roast in it, the turning (get this) actually causes the reverse, so that all the fat within and on all sides drips OFF the meat, leaving you with a wonderfully healthy snack! (I still want one, but I’ll get it at Walmart).
I am a QVC junkie though. I’ve bought more useless crap from that place, I think because of the pressure. BUY NOW! Time is running out! Look at how many orders we’ve received already! These Ergonomic, Solar Powered, Garnet Studded, Body Odor Activated, One-Size-Fits-All, Truly Incredible Ball Warmers are selling out AND they will be a collectors item!
I hate TV sometimes.
What gets me is she was supposed to have made this out of ingredients from her kitchen? What the hell kind of foodstuffs did she keep on hand, to produce fluorescent green gel?
I’ve mentioned here before that my very first album came from K-Tel. We didn’t have a TV when I was growing up so I must have heard about it on the radio?? It was called “Starflight” and featured the ever-present rainbow motif so popular in the early 80s, as well as the timeless “Pop Muzik” by M.
About 15 years ago I got this Rambo-type survival knife, either from a commercial or infomercial. I was amazed at all the things it had tucked away in the handle-- a compass, cord-saw, waterproof matches, fishing line/hook, and a couple other things I can’t remember. For only 10 dollars! (plus shipping) The funny thing is, I convinced my mom to spring for it. A knife! What a cool mom.
The cord-saw went first (all the bending and unbending snapped it), then the matches and fishing stuff got lost, then the compass fell out of its casing… but I still have the knife. And I love it. Not that it’s really good for anything, but it’s nice to fool around with when the testosterone is flowing. I haven’t bought anything from the TV since… not out of principle, but because I really haven’t seen anything affordable that I really need.
Spect! Just a little bit…just a little bit…
A friend of mine bought whichever get-rich-quick book is shilled by the guy who says “I can show you ways…”
When he told a group of us about it, someone actually said “God, why did you actually buy that?”
His defense? “I was drunk, it was late, and there was no one there to stop me!”
