Webupon

I started out hoping to find something of interest or ire to write about, perhaps some seed material for a new ‘Top Ten Uses For~’ or ‘Little Known Uses for~…’ article. My search was only partially successful. I have some ideas for several articles, but no images. I have other images, -but have no idea how to write them into an article. I do have a goal however. I am merely missing that mission-critical middle step. It is rather like that delightful “South Park” cartoon episode “Underpants Gnomes.” The underpants gnomes steal children’s underwear with one goal… profit. They have a three-step plan to create wealth;

• Step One: Get Underpants
• Step Two:
• Step Three: Profit!

Well, I found three ideas that look hopeful; maybe if I can get a few more similar ideas together I can expand this and something will come of that.

I would prefer something humorous, funny with a sense of what-the-heck am I looking at. I may have found some worthy entries.

Bowl Buddies

Toilet brushes made in the general shape of people, mainly political and one tyrant. Eww! I have to admit that the Hilary Clinton model catches my eye. It is a plastic stick that looks like Hilary, with spooky spiky toilet-scrubber bristles for hair! It kind of brings a whole new meaning to the ‘Whitewater Scandal,’ to clean up that mess with a Clintonesque scrub brush, huh? And outgoing President George W. Brush makes a clean getaway (and leaves no streaks I hope) with a brush created in his likeness too. The Bin Laden one? I’d not be disappointed to accidentally lose my grip on it and watch it disappear down the crapper. Or for shock-and-awe (and this is just plain grotesque,) -let the brush soak overnight… ‘Nuff said!

Definitely worth the flush, visit Bowlbuddy.

Doggie Towel Rack

At last, -someone has invented a handy and attractive place to hang your kitchen towel instead of stuffing it through the handle of the refrigerator door. You can bung your wet dish rag up inside of a plastic pooch’s puckered posterior. Nice, eh? Dog End, no dog lover & kitchen connoisseur should be without one.

This kind of reminds me of a novelty cigarette dispenser that my father had back when we lived in Virginia. It was an articulated plastic donkey that when you pushed his head down, the tail would rise up and a cigarette would be forced out. Mmm…

For its immediate brick-to-the-head impact, it also reminds of a novelty T-shirt design that I saw… A black Tee with white text saying simply “I’m not a Gynecologist…but I’ll have a look.”

The Anti-Ticket Doughnut?

 The next time you get stopped by a Police Officer for whatever reason and you are searching your glove-box for your automobile registration papers, this little gimmick probably won’t help. A ‘fake’ doughnut covered with colorful sugar sprinkles might make a fair bribe in HomerSimpsonLand, I really doubt if you will avoid getting ticketed anywhere else. You might instead find yourself being hauled in for attempting to bride an official. Especially when the arresting officer discovers that this is a novelty, not edible.

Can something like this anti-ticket donut be popular? Will things like this capture the hearts & minds of savvy shoppers? Well, I guess if the novelty shops did so well with the fake dog turd this can be popular too. Heck, speaking of which, I saw a novelty dog poo in a spray-can. It sprays this plastic foamy stuff that looks real enough, and hardens to form a realistic-looking doggie dropping.

I think it would be safer to have one of these doughnuts glued to your refrigerator and bung your dishcloth into it instead of that tight little doggie rectum. I’m still a bit queasy over that one but I’m sure that somebody is buying ‘em!
