Free stuff, contests and more

The corporate overlord dropped all this on me at once. Cut and paste is a wonderful thing To tie it all together, if housework and taxes have affected either your stomach or bowels, there may be help in this post. I’d work bunco in but I don’t even know what bunco is. Some sort of [...]

PSA: Don’t let your wife touch your eyebrows

Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where Jerry shaves his chest, and then has to keep doing it because it grows back thicker each time? Eyebrows do that too. Do not, I repeat do not, let your wife pluck your eyebrows. They will only grow back longer. And then she’ll want to pluck them again. [...]

I can has a wireless mouse and keyboard?

The corporate masters sent this Rocketfish wireless mouse and keyboard. It arrived on Michelle’s birthday. You can probably guess where the new keyboard and mouse was installed. BTW, thanks guys. I really appreciate you showing up my meager birthday present I ran the install CD, plugged in the USB/Bluetooth adapter, and it just worked. There [...]

Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters

The corporate masters sent more breakfast cereal, or as I often call it, dinner. This time it was Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters, and it easily is the best cereal they have sent. The flakes have more a Wheaties character to them than the normal Raisin Bran cereal. I still don’t know what the clusters [...]

The story of sack

Another chapter in Philips continuing efforts to convince us guys to shave far more than out faces. Quite funny, even if the very idea of the Philips Bodygroom gives me a bad case of the heebie jeebies.

Win a new kitchen

The corporate masters asked if I’d tell both my readers about this chance to win a $30,000 kitchen makeover. In return they promised to send some Bounty towels my way to help with the basement. I’ll be watching for the semi trailer with 28 pallets of paper towels

The new Rolling Stones DVD will be released on 6/12 and is only available at Best Buy. June 12th is just a few days before Father’s Day (hint hint). The hint is not for me though, as I already have it, thanks to my benevolent and kind corporate overlords. With absolutely nothing on TV last [...]

It’s a Rocket, it’s a fish, it’s a mouse

Actually it’s a Rocketfish Twister Laser Mouse, courtesy of the corporate overlords. It’s a small form factor wireless mouse perfect for leaving in the laptop bag. The USB receiver actually fits into the side of the mouse. You pop it out, plug it into an USB port, and it works. Windows recognized it immediately and [...]

Fruity Cheerios, I hardly knew ya

The corporate masters sent more free food, this time it was Fruity Cheerios. They are neither fruity, nor Cheerios. They are not bad, in fact they are quite tasty. However, I think the brand managers at General Mills may have reached a bit too far on this one. First of all, Fruity Cheerios are oat [...]

Fun with foot fungi

Try saying that 5 times quickly The corporate masters sent me some Lamasil AT to try out. It works. I’m not sure what else to say. I’m sure this school principal that Daryl wrote about is very familiar with foot fungi. You can also play games at the Lamasil AT web site. And for the [...]

Fruity Cheerios Video Contest

In the meantime, you can exercise your creative skills by incorporating Fruity Cheerios into a picture or video that may win you $500 and 15 minutes of Internet fame. Unless of course the video is really, [...]
