I can't remember if I knew about these, or not.

It may be one of those things I 'became unaware of'.

I had flavored papers with colorful pot leaves printed on them. Ingesting gold is not advisable. That shit will plate to your lungs worse than tars. Expensive way to get COPD!

Yeah, they went around here for a while. I'm thinking mainly of the ones with cherries on them (also blueberry, of course;)), they reminded us of firecrackers from my early youth. For a time we would say to one another "Spin us a firecracker, Bill.", or "Break out one of those firecrackers!".

Microfiber towels.

I had heard recently about these "microfiber towels" but didn't know what the big deal was. We have nice fluffy 100% cotton bath towels and like them. But I had a camping trip this past weekend, and there was a forecast for heavy unrelenting rain, and somebody suggested getting some microfiber towels.

So I went to Bed Bath and Beyond on a lunch hour last week and picked up a hand towel sized microfiber towel sold under the "Real Simple" brand name. It was 85% polyester and 15% polyamide, and had a thin terry cloth texture. As I held it in my hands, it snagged on my dry skin all over. That's how fine the fibers were.

So I went camping, and the rain stayed away until abut 6PM Saturday night, but then it was a steady heavy rain after that. I had good rain gear, and was out in the rain until it was time to go to bed, and then I opened my tent and got inside quickly. Even so, lots of water came inside with me, so I quickly pushed my sleeping bag and pad over to the other side of the tent as I peeled off my outer layers and made a big puddle on the floor.

It was a lot of water in a small tent. Enough to soak everything if I didn't take care of it. So I got out my new microfiber hand towel and mopped it all up. Then I took the hand towel and dried off my raincoat, both inside and out and folded it up neatly and put it away. I had already taken off my boots and and they had drained onto the floor, I mopped up that puddle. Then off came my rain pants. And I dried those off with the towel, turned them inside out, and dried them on the inside. And I folded them up and put them away. I mopped up stray water droplets that had gone everywhere.

Looking around, I couldn't see any evidence of water anywhere inside the tent. None. I draped the somewhat damp towel on the stiff canvas handles of a tote bag to dry, and in the morning, it was still damp. It was supposed to dry quickly, but it was about 35 degrees and raining with no air circulation inside the dark tent, so I'm not surprised.

I highly recommend a microfiber towel for a camping trip.

Then what you bought is better than Shamwow.

I'm ready to go camping *right now*!

Product is exceeded in ingenuity by this similar product:

I gotta get me one of them remote controlled campfires.

And the owl, gotta have the remote controlled owl.

A counter-shaking spoon, for people who have tremors.

Pretty cool.

Clodfobble 04-28-2014 09:34 PM

I just bought one of these for my uncle with Parkinson's. A hefty price tag, but hey, he hasn't let me get him a Christmas present in like 10 years, so I figure he's due. I'll let you guys know what he thinks about it.

footfootfoot 04-29-2014 11:15 AM

RE fish assholes. Imma guess the can is filled with spaghetti-Os

Reminds me of the time I found a sliver of wood in my cottage cheese. I complained to the store, "look at the size of this piece of wood!" and the man said, "what do you expect from a pint of cottage cheese, the entire cottage?"

Thanks folks, IBHAW, try the curried fox snouts.

Gravdigr 05-01-2014 03:05 PM

I would be willing to bet a fair amount of money that no one has 'starved to death' from tremors in a very long time, 1800-ish, I'd bet.

But, I do see your point.

Meh--you bought your folks a new roof, if I recall correctly, right? Dignity is worth a lot, and I hope someone values mine as much when I'm old.

Gravdigr 05-02-2014 04:56 PM

Uh - Popdigr put a roof on my house. Close, though.:D


Sneakily, I have repaid Popdigr. Unbeknownst to him, I have secured, for him, the archery hunting rights to a hundred acre parcel of prime whitetail dining room. The place is covered in oak trees, and thus carpeted with acorns. I even saw a few persimmon trees, a deer's bon bons, persimmons are. I told him the guy wouldn't take money. The guy took money.

It doesn't come across often, or well, but, believe it or not, I do try to be a good person. Occasionally.

I've come a long way from where I was. And I've a long way yet to go.

Thank you for saying that, Sundae.

The HondaJet (yeah, Honda, the company that makes the Civic, and Accord) is about to become available. Flying since 2003, the first production HondaJet is in final assembly. Funky-mounted engines and all. It'll cruise at 420 knots (Mach .63).

The interior appears to be vurry nize.

Attachment 47713

Story here. Several more pics and a vid.

xoxoxoBruce 05-21-2014 06:05 PM

When one spends $4.5 million + tax&tags, then probably another $million a year for crew, insurance, and maintenance, one tends to expect vurry nize... at least that's what they tell me. :haha:

Gravdigr 06-02-2014 02:28 PM



I wonder, if you found one of these, is the weight of the cap-gun close enough to that of a real Derringer to be able to swap them out?

Prolly not.

BigV 06-02-2014 02:41 PM

why not? and if not, why not stronger springs?

What could go wrong with a spring loaded gun in your hat?

I don't know if this qualifies as a product in such limited quantity, or a WTF.

Popeye by Jeff Koons, numbered 3/3(plus 1 proof), mirror polished stainless steel with transparent color coating.
Sort of cool, sort of ugly, he's a big boy at 78" x 51 3/4" x 28 1/2" (198.1 x 131 x 72.4 cm).

I guess Steve Wynn liked it, he paid Sotheby's $28,165,000 (hammer + premium) for it. But people that wealthy sometimes buy things they don't particularly like, just to show they can. He'll probably write it off to one of his casinos. :rolleyes:
