Not on my Christmas List
Things that seem cool in theory, but which will probably turn out to be a huge pain in the ass after about one week:
1. The Exploding Piggy Bank, a battery powered bank that lights up, makes noise, shakes violently, and scatters coins if it is not topped off for a long time.
2. Clocky, an alarm clock that can jump down from up to 3 feet and run away and hide if one does not get out of bed on time.
3. A president that's just "one of the guys."
4. Windows products.
5. A pop art toaster, with interchangeable toast stencils to brand images on your breakfast.
Ha ha, I got my blog in under the wire and I see I am not the only one! I was checking google reader and I saw your blog pop up just before midnight! This blogging everyday is quite a pain and my luck of making it at the last minute is going to run out.

Honestly, I think a war based on false presuppositions was a great idea. We should look into starting one of those... no, wait, never mind.

Oh I totally agree with number 4!!!

That Clocky thing sounds quite interesting. My husband must hit the snooze at least 3 times before getting out of bed, then he complains every morning that he's running late. Aak! Go figure.

that piggy bank sounds like a real bitch.

Clocky is creepy.
(But probably effective. Or at least annoying enough to work effectively.)

Dooce posted about Clocky a while ago, and I tend to agree with her: Clocky would not last long in my household because I would hunt him down and kill him with a hammer.

Hahaha, this post made me laugh. :)
I would freakin kill that alarm clock. What if you can't find the damn thing and it won't shut up!? And if that piggy bank threw coins all over my room? It would go out the window.
#3? HAHAHAHA.

Try being hearing impaired. I have an alarm clock that wakes me with a light equivalent to DAYLIGHT. It sucks. A lot.
