a brilliant idea

slankets/snuggies with colored print of the body of cartoon/popular characters.

patent pending.

I do not condone the use of slankets/snuggies.
I do condone making money.

Here are some proportionally incorrect pictures of the product:

please throw money at me now.

some wisdom

1. in case any of you guys are wondering if it is ok to just flush a banana peel down the toilet, it is not. it will clog your toilet.

2. if you ever try it anyways, make sure you remember to unclog it before you poop.

You are welcome.

sold and shipped!

So the old textbook I was trying to sell on amazon ended up being sold within 5 hours of posting. High five! This also meant that I had to honor my incentive. So I did. It took me all of 4 minutes.

The following an email that I sent immediately after receiving the order:

 

Subject: Order information from Amazon seller gpspud20

Hello [name redacted], your order was received. The textbook Microbiology: An Introduction, 9th edition with limited edition Organic Molecule Yellow Cookie Monster (OMYCM) doodle on page 124 will be shipped shortly.

If you took care to read the seller’s comment, you would have noticed that by purchasing this book prior to 08/28/09 you are eligible to receive a PERSONAL sketch of OMYCM and YOU together. Please let me know what location, time of day, and preferred cameos you would like in your PERSONAL sketch. Though my artistic abilities know no bounds, I highly suggest a beach overlooking a beautiful sunset with cameos of the top half of sonic the hedgehog and a ninja turtle.

You are permitted to send me a head shot of yourself if you so desire for artistic accuracy (no creeper), otherwise you will have to settle for my own artistic interpretation of you.

You’re welcome.

Unfortunately with no response, this was the email sent after the package was shipped:

Midnight Delusions? or GREATEST IDEA EVER!

OK so. while im on this incredible high that is my GENIUS.

I was surfing around youtube last nite (ok. 4 am) and watching vids when it suddenly dawned on me in a totally unrelated (crazy?…bah semantics) way.

I want to get a Ukulele. See, its brilliant in so many ways. Its pretty cheap, Its small and portable, it shouldn’t be too hard to learn with guitar experience, and its just totally sweet.

This is a pretty decent one and its about 70 dollars. not bad?

This ones a more ballin one that I am def not ready to commit to:

OK so thats not where it gets brilliant. So what am I going to do with a uke once i get it? ready?
