Maine Bans Novelty Lighters

Maine became the first State  in the Union to Ban Novelty lighters...hummm.who knew? Story Here

I was so close to taking up smoking only so I could sport a really cool lighter.  I had my eye on a lighter that looked like a grenade.  Figures..

Ever Wonder.......

...what would happen if you pushed that "emergency" button at the gas station?  Wonder no more becuase the clown in the white and blue striped shirt does it for you.

Gas Tips

Interesting post from Melissa at Mainelife on some gas pumping techniques.  Every little bit helps as we grow closer to $4.00/Gallon.  On a side note for us Mainers also check out her link about the stolen credit card digits over at Hannafords.

A word about LIVE posts

Just a quick note about some of my recent posts.  When I type "Live From" in the title of a post it actually means I am posting live from that very spot. I can access typepad from my iPhone.  The post below was done from the waiting room at the rehearsal. They usually run late so I had some time to kill.

Not So Popular Mechanics

This was an idea posted in a 1936 issue of Popular Mechanics.  Apparently in 1936 cars didn't get side swiped.

Just in case..

Today Will and I were watching TV when a commercial came on for the "Body Shaper."  Essentially it's a piece of spandex a person with some "extra luggage" sausages their body into for a slim, sleeker look.

After the commercial ended Will asked me, "Are you fat?"  So I asked him, "Do you think I'm fat?" After a quick glance at me he said, "No.  But if you get fat you can order that."

It's nice to know that a piece of spandex will make me a size 2 as evidenced by the lady in the picture.

Friday Random Thoughts

Random purge of my brain:

-I am not to ashamed to admit that I watch American Idol.  One of my favorite parts of the show is when they eliminate someone and they show the girls crying like someone died-Maybe I am cruel but it makes me laugh. SORRY

-I ran into Erin last night at Loco's Coco's Tacos. It was odd and cool all at the same time.  It was probably 1994 since I last bumped into my sister at a random location unexpectedly.  We were both picking up the same food none the less.  A Beef Burrito. I never had one before but earlier in the week Erin said that Jermaine puts the local burrito on a level playing field with his beloved Philly Cheese steak.  With that kind of endorsement I had to try one.  The burrito was great and so was seeing Erin-Glad your around E!

-I watch A LOT of sports... A LOT. After watching last nights debate I have decided that a debate is one of the purest forms of competition.  In most sporting events you can recover from a mistake, even a HUGE mistake.  Not in a debate, one slip of the tongue and you are cooked, finito, kaput. Unrecoverable. Performing without a coach, team or or a timeout.  Intense!
