Belated cool birthday presents review

So my dad’s birthday was 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t post anything on here (and then I got busy) until we gave him his presents in case he actually looks at this site. :) So first we had the “funny” present. This was a sushi pillow made by theoriginalsushipillow.com. I chose the salmon nigiri. I can’t even write about this without laughing. This is just funny. That said the workmanship and choice of fabric is fabulous. I have no idea where they ever found silk that looks so much like raw salmon.

The other present was a home soda maker from Soda-Club. This little gadget uses a bottle of CO2 to carbonate a liter of water at a time. You can then add flavor of your choice, via juice or various flavor concentrates from Soda-Club. One bottle can carbonate about a 110 liters of water. I would like to say that it is very easy to over-carbonate the water. Hence my coining of the name “burping juice” over the course of that weekend (March 31st). There was an actual purpose to this gift though (besides being able to burp on cue). Dad is drinking oodles of soda water these days and if we take this to Prudence, no one has to haul lots of heavy bottles of it down there. Clever, no?

Car antenna found

So recently I lost my radio antenna off my Golf.

15497

I thought it happened during a recent storm as I said here. Well, it was found by Tom as he was walking up the Mountain. He kindly left it in my mug of writing implements. Too funny.

Pink Polka

This just makes me giggle. Pink Polka is a band out of Toledo that does polka covers of Pink Floyd songs. I really like “Another Brick in the Wall”.

The Coin Machine

I know that it just further indicates that I am easily amused but I love the coin machine. You dump all that change in and try and push it down that little slot and it clicks and whirs away. And then says “You have a lot of coins! Please wait for us to catch up.” I am very entertained by this and I only get to this every 3 years or so (when the coin containers get really full). So I went to CoinStar last night with 3 different containers from home and work including a wine jug that I’ve been dumping pennies in since I was in college. I did the jug first because I wanted to know just how many pennies were in there. There were 2793 pennies. That’s a whole lot of pennies. Total it broke down like this:

  • 0 dollars
  • 0 half dollars
  • 36 quarters
  • 304 dimes
  • 247 nickels
  • 3406 pennies

For a grand total of $85.81, which I took on an Amazon.com giftcard (you get all your money if you take it on a giftcard and not in cash). It’s the little things in life. :)

Hilarious addition to Caveman ads

So you know those Geico ads with the caveman? If you find those at all amusing, you have got to check out this website that goes with it, http://www.cavemanscrib.com/. It’s got a lot of Flash content and takes a bit to load but it’s absolutely worth it. Make sure to scan your mouse over everything. There’s a ton of stuff to click and look at more closely.

Let’s just say that it took until morning to get rid of them all. :)
