The American Presidential race often seems like a Saturday morning cartoon. This video of Presidential candidates made me laugh:
Enjoy!
Grill’n and Chill’n
April 28, 2007
I love my Weber BBQ grill. I had a dedicated natural gas line run out to it so I don’t have to mess with propane tanks. We fire that bad boy up all year round, even during the winter months. Skirt steaks and veggies. Mmmm.
I can’t resist channeling my inner Paul Hogan and throwing “shrimp on ‘da barbie” while downing a Fosters.
The Weber is great, but… it’s not iPod ready.
Aparently that was a void some marketers felt was necessary to fill. Introducing the George Foreman iGrill.
Available for $150 at Linens ‘n Things:
Turn your backyard BBQ into an instant party with the iGrill from George Foreman. The iGrill has a 200 square inch nonstick grilling surface that is covered with George’s Tough Nonstick Coating. The included 10 watt speaker system plays your favorite tunes from your iPod, MP3 or other USB music system.
There’s a great episode of the American version of the television series “The Office” where our management hero burns his foot on his George Foreman grill. He explains that he likes to wake up to the smell of bacon in the morning. So he sets up the grill next to his bed. In the morning, he switches it in, sleeps for a few more minutes then wakes up to the smell of grilled bacon. His morning routine goes horribly wrong when he accidently steps on the grill.
Obviously someone saw a need, and came out with the George Foreman USB iGrill. Simply plug that bad boy into your PC via the USB 2.0 connector. Only $99 at ThinkGeek.com.
Do you have any BBQ needs to fill? Perhaps a grill for the bathroom? Or your car?

American Red Cross Safety Smarts Check List

Pacific Daily News ran this test below from the American Red Cross. See if you have safety smarts:
Do you buckle your child in an approved automobile safety seat in the back seat even when making short trips?
Do you teach your child safety by behaving safely in your own everyday activities?
Do you supervise your child whenever he or she is around water and maintain fences and gates that act as barriers to water?
Have you checked your home for potential fire hazards?
Are smoke detectors installed and working? Have you installed a carbon monoxide alarm?
Are all poisonous substances, such as cleaning supplies, medicines, and plants, kept out of children’s reach?
Are foods and small items that can choke a child kept out of reach?
Have you inspected your home, day-care center, school, baby sitter’s home or wherever your child spends time for potential safety and health hazards?
Do you keep guns and ammunition stored separately and locked up?
Do not put toxic liquids such as Clorox, gas, and refrigerator coolant in containers that children recognize as drink containers such as soda or tea bottles.
Have grandparents keep the childproof safety caps on their medications.
Do not let the strings of blinds dangle next to children’s beds.
