Be Warned!

I have been swiftly informed that part of having a blog is to actually update it on a regular basis. Consistency has never been my strong point.

Therefore I am going to complete the 50-100-50 challenge. What is the 50-100-50 challenge? I have to write 50 100 word posts over 50 days.

I am not sure the precise rules of this "game" so it is unclear if it has to be one post a day for 50 days or if I can write 25 posts on the first day and 25 posts on the 50th day. Also unclear is if the post has to be 100 words exactly. Not 101 or 102, but 100.

Before I lose track of dates, this means 50 post 100 word posts by 19 June 2008 (depending on your hemisphere and whether you count today or not).

How many words was that?

147. This may be easier than I thought. 156.

Overheard

Part of my job role entails me attending various trade shows to promote my company's product. Often times at these trade shows, a large number of stands are filled by products who have absolutely nothing to do with the trade-at-large.

These products are usually domestic items to make a housewife's life easier. The sales people for these domestic goddess items are usually spunky older women with short haircuts and sensible shoes, and will say anything, no matter how ridiculous or dated to sell their product.

The following sales lines were heard at the past trade show:

For a special plate that instantly brings metal to a brilliant shine:

"Imagine how much time you will save polishing all your silver. Ladies, what are you going to do on your Sundays now?"


Regarding food containers that vacuum seal food:

"You can take it right from the freezer to the microwave. and that is the best thing ever!"

I should also note that with these product, you can keep cheese fresh for 60 days. I haven't decided if that was good or bad point.



For bidet (and this is the best one yet):

"The great thing about a bidet is that it also cleans and you don't need to worrying about bits of toilet paper stuck to your pussy."

Candy Hearts Make Me Vomit.



Despite that blogger says the date is 13th of February, on the bottom side of the globe it is actually the 14th... So..... Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Remember: If no one sends you love today, then you aren't really loved.

And in case you are wondering, the painting is entitled "Cupid Chastised"
