What A Slacker!

People Just Can’t Drive in the Snow

Add comment January 17th, 2008

I am so sick of snow and today’s snowfall was only our first real one. Yeah, we had that ice a little while ago, but that was ice not snow. Apparently people forget how to drive in snowy conditions. On my way home, which took 2.5 hours instead of the regular 1.5 hours, I passed at least six separate accidents. All because people felt the need to go to fast under bad weather conditions.

Someone did a 360 on the turnpike and was facing the other way. Two of my main highways I travel had accidents in both directions stopping traffic. Thank goodness I had already gotten passed them. Then just as I a nearing the end of my harrowing journey there was a four car pile up about a mile from home. Again I was lucky enough to still be able to get around them all and get home safe and sound.

The Avenging Unicorn Play Set

Add comment January 17th, 2008

Unicorns are magical creatures that only exist for those who believe. When they are not frolicking in dewy meadows or posing on windy cliffs they are helping believers do away with daily annoyances like new age happy ladies, creepy mimes, and arrogant businessmen. So if you believe with all your heart and soul they will answer your call.

Unicorn Code:

• Unicorns never lie.
• Unicorns always lend a helping hand.
• Unicorns are loyal.
• Unicorns can keep a secret.
• Unicorns don’t use drugs.

Like their seafaring cousins the mighty narwhal they have four different magical horns each with its own special power.

The pearlescent horn gives the unicorn mind control, weather control, and super hearing (kind of like the bionic woman). The spiral horn’s power is illusion casting and super healing (like the Mr. Meaty episode “Unihorn” where Parker heals folks, with his magical unicorn horn). The glow horn gives the unicorn the power of hypnosis and enhanced agility. (But isn’t hypnosis very similar to mind control and illusion casting?) My personal favorite horn is the chrome horn as it gives the powers of electromagnetism, speed-reading and teleportation. The three inch high unicorn is fully articulated to be better able to impale his enemies with his mighty horn.

The avenging unicorn is not alone in his quest so be sure to look for the other play sets: Unicorn vs. Narwhal, Good vs. evil Unicorn, and the Cold War Unicorns where the all American unicorn defends us against the red menace. Any unicorn fan has to get these. Another fine desktop toy for you get.
