Mundane Ramblings

I’m having a hard time believing this one, but there’s been some coverage of this story today for some unknown reason.  Apparently the cold winter weather in the UK has prompted the Holiday Inn in London to offer “human bed warmers” as a service to clients.  Yes, for a fee you can pay for someone to get into your bed (before you are ready to turn in) dressed in “an all-in-one fleece sleeper suit”, AKA “Teletubby” to pre-warm your bed for you.  Apparently this individual will then leave the bed toasty warm for you to climb into.  Um, ick.

“The new Holiday Inn bed warmers service is a bit like having a giant hot water bottle in your bed,”

Yes, sure, if your hot water bottle at home is a barely employable guy named Ed.  Seriously, this can’t be for real, for several reasons.

1. That’s nasty and creepy, and for many of us the embodiment of a nightmare.

2. Isn’t that why they have maids?  To avoid that hotel “I’m climbing into this bed just after a stranger got out of it” sensation?

3. For an extra $20 you can have the “Dutch extra special” where Ed eats a can of beans just before climbing between the sheets…

4. So, juust before bed, you call down and have Ed come up, scuffling his oversized fleeced feet along the carpet.  With a nod, he passes you when you open the door and climbs right into bed, pulling the blankets up to his whiskery chin.  Uncertain of what to do, you continue with your evening, climbing onto the bed beside Ed and restarting the movie.  Ed says: “Oh, I love Planes, Trains and Automobiles!  This part is hilarious…  You gonna finish those Doritos?”

Perhaps there is another angle to this I am not getting.  Anyone?

Saw this on Neatorama first.

Extra bonus:  I have had this job for 10 years now, but I have a very small clientele, just one bed actually.  We have talked about it before…

Extra extra bonus: …and now you know why no-one wants to wake up with Bed Ed.

Batten down the hatches people, it’s getting weird out there.

It seems that some folks have forgotten their meds recently, and they all hang out at McDonald’s for some crazy reason. Or maybe it’s that there’s something in the food causing all of this?

First off, a scary looking lady from Ohio who, upon hearing that there weren’t going to be any McNuggets, proceeded to punch through the drive through window in a fit of nugget rage. Um, ya. This lady likes her nuggets.

And then we’re over to this lady, who got what she ordered, but then proceeds to trash the place because she was unhappy with her hamburger. She was offered a replacement burger, but wanted her money back.

Glad to see people are coping with their anger in healthy ways, while eating healthy things.  It’s a healthy cycle.

Later folks.

It’s been a week since the last quiz, which was far far too easy.  So, let’s take things up a notch here.

1. What dog made a leap to grab a handful of five dollar bills, thinking it was another treat?
2. What child once said: “Mom, is f$@k a bad word?”
3. What child was once nicknamed “Gluestick”?
4. What child once said (adorably): “I loo noo snow mush!” (I love you so much)
5. And finally, what dog is inexplicably attracted to the pile of leaves I left on the front lawn, peeing and even pooping on them every chance he gets?

There, that should prove to be slightly more challenging.  If somebody gets the right answer I will reveal one of the first pictures of Quinn in his hockey gear on the ice.  Trust me, it’s adorable.

Right, let’s hear it folks.

*** Update:  Sorry for the delay folks.  As promised, here’s Quinn on the ice, looking like he means business… thanks to Mr. Ross for the pic.

Happy Birthday Court.

I just want to say thank you to you for being my best friend, my soul mate, and the only person in the world that I want/need to share absolutely everything with. You are an amazing person, and I am so blessed to have you in my life.

Happy 37th Birthday. May we savour every moment of growing young together!
Love you!

I just love this.

Well would you look at that, officer.  I am just BAFFLED as to how these 59 dope plants got into my garden.  Shocked, I tell you.  Um, ya.

It should come as no surprise to anyone, but it’s now SCIENTIFICALLY proven that men become stupider after talking to attractive women, while women remain unaffected while talking to attractive men.  Completely obvious, and it explains why I can’t get anything done while Nikki is in the room.
