Why You Can't Send A Woman To Home Depot

Charlie was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife Mary to Home Depot.

At Home Depot, Mary saw a beautiful bathroom faucet while she was waiting for Walt, the manager, to finish waiting on a customer.

When Walt was finished, Mary asked 'How much for that faucet?' Walt replied, 'That's pewter and it costs $300.' 'My goodness, that sure is a lot of money!' Mary exclaimed.

Then she proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie had sent her to buy, and Walt went to the back room to find it.

From the back room Walt yelled, 'Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?'

Mary replied, 'No, but I will for the faucet.'

This is why you can't send a woman to Home Depot.

Droog Do Straps

The Droog Do Straps, designed for the well-loved contemporary Dutch company Droog in 2002, are an innovative way to hang clothing, soft toys or books tight against the wall. The silicone strap comes with 2 drywall anchors and screws for installation. The strap measures 28 inches and can stretch to approximately 36 inches. For rooms with children 3 and up.

$30

This looks like a neat idea to me. I don't see any reason why you couldn't make one yourself...other than the fact you may be half retarded like me.

Deodorizing Refrigerator Egg

Via Rare Bird Finds:

deodorizing eggs. It uses charcoal to deodorize and can be "re-charged" by being popped in the mirowaved (the insert). $16.50 at King Arthur Flour"

Bottle Cap Whistles

Via Rare Bird Finds:

"Ooh, look, functional whistles made out of recycled bottle caps and advertisements. No two are alike, and there are a bunch of different styles to choose from. $12 at Loran Scruggs."

Please take note, Papa Rooster. I would like for you to make one of these. Lord knows we have enough Miller Chill bottle caps to make about a zillion of these.

Has anybody else noticed how crazy the squirrels have been acting? Maybe they do that every year at this time and I just never noticed it. That wouldn't surprise me. I'm not very observant.

How Many Episodes Are Left Of Your Favorite TV Shows?

Via Bits & Pieces:

"[UPDATED 12/20/07] There seems to be little doubt that the writers' strike will result in a shorter TV season, but just how short are we talking? Well, as you might've guessed, it varies from show to show. Those programs that are either highly efficient (Friday Night Lights) or have entered the season with a backlog of episodes (Men in Trees, Law & Order: SVU) will be in originals well into the new year. But series with tighter production schedules (i.e., nearly every half-hour comedy) will go dark almost immediately. Of course, figuring out how many episodes remain in your favorite shows' arsenals requires a lot of numbers crunching — and as I've come to learn, the only thing you Ausholes despise more than a Wednesday without AA is mathematics. With that in mind, I pulled together this incredibly handy (and 85 percent complete) cheat sheet. Keep in mind: The information below is subject to change, particularly if both sides get back to the bargaining table and resolve this frakkin' thing! (For ongoing WGA strike coverage, read TVGuide.com's Strike Watch blog.)"

Two different stories - Same newspaper

Via Bits & Pieces:

"The December 14th issue of the Lewiston Tribune, page 1A ran two substantial photos: In one, a husky man in a black-and-blue checkered coat is seen hanging Christmas decorations in a shop window. In the other, a surveillance camera shows a convenience-store customer’s unattended wallet being swiped by . . . a husky man in a black-and-blue checkered coat. Local police noticed the similarities, and quickly arrested the hapless criminal mastermind for felony second-degree theft. "

Turn your old stolen shopping cart into a nice colorful chair

Via Bits & Pieces:

"Old shopping carts often meet their demise when they are given the boot due to unaligned wheels or exposed wire. Happily, Reestore Managing Director Max McMurdo is able to ‘reestore’ life into even the most battered old trolleys, transforming them into a beautiful yet functional collection of chairs."

Papa Rooster, break out the welder and get to welding. This is cool.

10-Year Chinese Haunting Finally Debunked

Via The Presurfer:

"This 5 story 'haunted' building in the GuangXi province of China has scared most of it's owners away. Anyone who ever lived in the house, heard horribly spooky sounds coming from somewhere in the house. In 10 years, the house has been sold to four different owners, and soon after each moved in, they moved out because of the haunting."

"Two brothers bought the house and tried to find where in the house the noise was coming from. After numerous nights of searching, they figured out the noise sounded like something flapping in the water and it came from the bathroom pipe on the first floor."

You have to follow the link above to see what was causing all the noise - it wasn't just the pipes...there was something or things in the pipes. Craziness.
