Someone Else’s Shorts

Ok, so I’m driving home from running training tonight and (in heavy traffic) I’m bored. I happen to glance to my right through the windows of the Op Shop (Thrift Store). There’s a manequin in the window, wearing a bathrobe, a t-shirt and a pair of Homer boxer shorts. All second-hand of course.

Wait a second. They’re selling a pair of used boxer shorts?

Folks, is it just me or is there something just plain ECH! about selling secondhand boxers?

What The – ?!

Sorry about that…

Human Tetris II

It’s dorky, it involves nerds-in-lycra … but gee it’s funny.

It’s the Japanese game show phenomena of Human Tetris. If you missed our first instalment, it can be found here.

And now, Episode II…

DadLabs: The Milk Man

On the 3rd Day of Christmas… WIERD GIFTS!

Well, maybe this is not the right one to follow up yesterday’s post about the Church of Stop Shopping anti-consumerism movement. Still I got a chuckle out of finding this stuff, if not buying it…

 If you’re starting your wish list now, these are genuine products available to put under your tree…

Mmm, toilet lollies…

***

Nerd toys! (”Amazing push-button shushing action!” oooo!)

***

Just in case you’re missing school on your holiday, young one. [Me? I'm feeling queasy.]

***

Why not?

Because all children dream of having OCD! I know I did…

You Can Put as Much Spin as You Like on It, But the Cat’s Still Responsible.

Most of us know that cats are evil.

Meet Oscar (see his police mugshot left). Oscar has evolved a step beyond the cliched Cat Burgler. He’s become (perhaps) the world’s first Cat Murderer. That’s the opinion of this Daddy Blogger anyway. “What’s the story?” you ask?

Let me first explain where I came across this mass-murdering moggy…

 Laura Young is an accomplished intelligent and personable life-coach, whose writing style I genuinely admire. Nevertheless, you can tell a cat lover when you meet one…

I noticed that Laura’s post entitled Cat Predicts Nursing Home Deaths puts a nice spin on one cat’s presence at the scene of many deaths in the Nursing Home:

On his way back to the charting area, Oscar passes a plaque mounted on the wall. On it is engraved a commendation from a local hospice agency: “For his compassionate hospice care, this plaque is awarded to Oscar the Cat.” Oscar takes a quick drink of water and returns to his desk to curl up for a long rest. His day’s work is done. There will be no more deaths today, not in Room 310 or in any other room for that matter. After all, no one dies on the third floor unless Oscar pays a visit and stays awhile.

Note: Since he was adopted by staff members as a kitten, Oscar the Cat has had an uncanny ability to predict when residents are about to die. Thus far, he has presided over the deaths of more than 25 residents on the third floor of Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island. His mere presence at the bedside is viewed by physicians and nursing home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death, allowing staff members to adequately notify families. Oscar has also provided companionship to those who would otherwise have died alone. For his work, he is highly regarded by the physicians and staff at Steere House and by the families of the residents whom he
serves.

That’s lovely and all, but an alternate reading of the situation is that the Cat’s responsible!!

Am I the only one who picked up the sentence: ‘After all, no one dies on the third floor unless Oscar pays a visit and stays awhile’? Or this: His mere presence at the bedside is viewed by physicians and nursing home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death”?

Get the cat the heck out of there!

Oscar, I’ve seen your face. You better stay far far away from this little black duck. I got a car tyre with your name on it.

(Laura, feel free to make fun of me too! )
