oh no!
And my wicker blender idea !
I wanted to let you know how great the wicker blender works! Well, it was a bit messy at first, with liquid flying everywhere, but since I got the inside lined with lead, it's a dream. :approve:

Want to blanch those tomatoes before pureeing them to make sauce? Just spray on an asbestos coating, and you can use it for stuff right off the stove without getting burnt. An extremely versatile kitchen tool. :biggrin:

Ooh, I could spray baked potatoes too! Those are always too hot to handle! Perhaps we should pass these useful kitchen tips on to little franzbear.

One way to preheat a gas stove quickly is to blow out the pilot light and let the oven fill with gas, then quickly toss a lit match inside. :approve:

I'm so glad to hear from another satisfied customer. :approve: By the way, I can't tell you enough how thrilled I've been with my Evo-matic Heated Toilet seat. (I got the glow-in-the-dark model - fabulous!)

Ah yes, the deluxe model with the automatic seat lowerer. :approve:

Has anyone seen the new toilet paper commercials about "uncomfortable bathroom moments"? The pet fish being flushed, the woman falling into the toliet in the middle of the night (been there, done that), the clogged toilet erupting into the girls face. :-p

That one on the left isn't a bowling ball. If you look closely at the logo on the other side, you'll see that it is in fact a Superbounce Fireball with a glandular disorder.

You could always cut them in half and hollow them out and seal them back up, maybe adding a layer of lead on the inside as ballast to keep the original weight.
The term 'ballast' implies that it's on one side to maintain orientation. Methinks you might have difficulty hurling a strike with that.

Well it's no wonder, you goof! You're using the wrong bat. Aluminum is just for the endzone. You're supposed to use wood for anything past the hog line.

I know that dude. He stole my inflatable dartboard idea! Jerk!

Hehe - want to try that again? If its density stays the same, it still won't float.
Give him a break, will ya? He was only a sailor. What could he know about bouyancy? They save that stuff for officers.

Well, there goes another awesome idea. Reality is always getting in the way of my imagination. I guess I'll go back to GD. Oh, wait :mad:

Seriously though russ and brewnog, thanks for pointing that out. If I had stopped to think about it, or bothered looking it up then I wouldn't have to be embarrassed. That never botherred me much, and in this case it is all in good fun.

How about a nuclear submersible bowling ball? That would be much funnier.
