Are you a woman going solo? Try a blow-up man

Still too freakin' hot here in SoCal to spend much time at the computer doing anything, but I do check my Mail and glance at the news headlines daily. Found:

Are you a woman going solo? Try a blow-up man - Yahoo! News (Reuters)

This sounds like something kinky, but it's not at all.

What I'm wondering is if Mr. Inflatible could get you into the carpool lane...? (Requires two or more in the car.) No small thing on these Los Angeles area freeways. No, not quite honest. Hmm, imagine what a cop might think/say about Mr. Inflatible?

Another thought: if some creep saw you hanging around with Mr. Inflatible he might think you're so weird he might not want to mess with you (too dangerous - who knows what a weirdo like you might do?)

Something else about Mr. Inflatible - he needs to lose weight. The man is seriously bloated.

Why do I feel the strange impluse to take a black marker, a kerchief, some beads, and make Mr. Inflatible look like a fat Captain Jack (cutey Pirate Johnny Depp)? Maybe because I'm strange, also go to too many movies (AC!).

As the article says... "...when a woman has finished using him, she can just pull the plug and he deflates. " Is that The Perfect Man, or what?

Note, however, that Mr. Inflatible is unemployed - he won't bring home a dime. Major flaw, that.

He'd also be useless for cutting the grass or hauling the garbage.

Pretty much a bum.

Excellent listener, though.

New Graphics & CafePress Shipping News

NEW NEW NEW : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com (okay, wrong store - but please check out the new graphics, just the same: a new HB - Huntington Beach graphic and a new - drumroll, please - "Pretty Nerdy" graphic.)

As for the CafePress shipping news, quoting them:
$5 Flat Shipping is a shipping rate of $5 for up to 5 items for orders shipped within the US.

Rate excludes shipping for custom postage,
posters and framed prints, which ship separately and incur an additional charge. Shipping for individual orders of custom postage, stickers, buttons and CDs may have lower shipping rates.

Only $5 for 5 items is pretty cool.

Keep cool! Enjoy the weekend.

Are you having a cool Summer?

No, I'm not either.

I thought I'd share this cool article for those of us unlucky enough to be without AC (under normal circumstances, it's not needed in this coast town - hello, global warming??)

Any way you look at it, this article here has some handy tips for keeping cool.

Mediterranean beats low-fat diet for heart health

Mediterranean beats low-fat diet for heart health - Yahoo! News (Reuters)

And, I think it's more fun. And isn't a bit of red wine good for you? Pass me the Chianti (to go with my Mediterranean Diet), please.

Although, my guess is it's probably eat the pasta in moderation (the carb thing) and to cook it "al dente" (not overcooked!).

What the American Heart Association has to say about the Mediterranean Diet.

Roots of human family tree are shallow - Yahoo! News

Roots of human family tree are shallow - Yahoo! News (Associated Press)

A mind-blowing article!
...means everybody on Earth descends from somebody who was around as recently as the reign of Tutankhamen, maybe even during the Golden Age of ancient Greece. There's even a chance that our last shared ancestor lived at the time of Christ.

Hmm, gives brotherhood an extra meaning.
