yum-o

i don't watch a whole lot of television. seems it just doesn't have really much to offer me. travel channel, food network, local news at 5 and 10 and national news with katie at 5:30. katie is hot for me, and me for her, so i gotta watch. i also like infomercials that say "but wait, if you order now ...", and sometimes i do. i have more junk that doesn't work because i might have had one too many margaritas while watching a shamwow or kreg informercial. i should call capital one and have them put my credit card on a do-not-purchase-off-tv list.

one of my infomercial purchases was the robatti multi-drill, "the most versatile drill on the planet." you know, the double headed drill, where you can put a drill bit in one head and a screwdriver in the other. then you can drill the hole, switch to the screwdriver and drive the screw home -- all with just a twist. it was kinda cool, although awkward and felt out-of balance. the real problem was it couldn't stand the six foot drop i gave it while i was on a ladder attempting to drill holes to mount a flower pot hanger on the back of the house. this was my first real use of the drill, and my last. it now is occupying space in a land fill.

another purchase was a scratch remover i bought to rub out scratches on our fiberglass boat. it came with a compound that would match any color of fiberglass, and, "if you ordered now," a portable vacuum that plugged into a 12-volt power outlet. i missed the phone number on the infomercial, so i googled it on the computer. what a deal, i thought, this i gotta have cuz i got scratches on my boat. somehow during the on-line ordering process i ended up buying two of the additional vacuums, and paying additional shipping costs for both of them -- costs that added up to what was more than the vacuums were worth. oh well.

i know what you're thinking. and no, i will not be buying the penis enlarger pump or the colon cleansing solution.

but i could watch rachael, giada, and sandra for most of a day. you know who i'm talking about. these ladies know about food. and they know that cooking with cleavage sells. yeah, bobby, tyler, alton, and guy know their food too. and they have great shows. but there's just something about the ladies that keeps drawing me back. don't read me wrong here, it's not a perversion, it's just that they are pretty easy to look at. i think we all need a daily diversion, i know i do, and these gals help supply mine. and there's some damn good food that goes along with it. yes, you guessed it, i bought rachael's dutch oven!
