The Infomercial

Technology blows my mind sometimes. And don't you hate when you see an infomercial, and think "Why didn't I think of that?" This, however, I'm glad I didn't think of...

Then there are the classic favorites...I used to stop what I was doing in order to watch the Ronco Food Dehydrator as a kid...MAN I wanted that! I wanted to make beef jerky, turkey jerky, and fruit leather!

I also enjoy Chef Tony, and will forever remember Billy Mays (RIP). But I must say, one of my ALL-TIME-FAVORITES has to be Vince, and the Slap Chop!

Have you ever purchased anything from the TV? I'd LOVE to hear your story!

The American Women's Bobsleigh Team Need To Fire Their Designer

Last night, like every other night since the Olympics started, I sat in front of the TV...and like many of you, I caught the Women's Bobsleigh event. Now like any child who grew up in the 80s/90s, when I think of Bobsleigh, I think of....

 

RIP John Candy :(

So of course, my interest was peaked. As I listened to the commentators, I learned that the Canadian women have NEVER won a medal in bobsleigh, further to that...Canada period has never won. Alright. They've hooked me in. And as I watched, I got really pumped for Heather Moyse, Helen Upperton, Kaillie Humphries and Shelley-Ann Brown...and low and behold, we captured SILVER AND GOLD! WOO! I had to tune in to the medal ceremony! And when the teams took to the podium...all I could think was

"Bananas...in Pajamas...are coming down the stairs...."

Now I'd love to show you a picture of the American Olympic Bobsleigh team, but there are some intense copyright infringements involved, and even meek lil' ol' Kristi Mingo from Alberta doesn't wanna take the risk. So instead, I shall direct you to this website, and you can search for yourself. The Americans' outfits made me giggle uncontrollably and now, I have that song in my head. What do YOU think?
