Duh.  Still it&#8217;s a neat idea if it works.<br \/>\n&#8211; I&#8217;m not sure what the point of these things could be, but they are the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strutzshoes.com\/category.aspx?categoryID=9\">funkiest looking shoes I&#8217;ve ever seen<\/a>.  They have a mechanical piston built into the heel as a shock absorber.<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/store.yahoo.co.jp\/yume\/65051.html\">The Karaoke Muzzle<\/a> is something I think we can all appreciate, especially those of us (myself included) that think they can sing after a drink or two.<br \/>\n&#8211; Only available in Japan, but you can pay to have a cartoon &#8220;almost live&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobile-weblog.com\/archives\/live_baseball_for_mobile_phones.html\">re-enactment of the baseball game<\/a> you aren&#8217;t able to attend in person.  Weird.<br \/>\nAnd finally, the kidnappers&#8217; delight, the GPS-enabled school uniform.  It&#8217;s also only available in Japan, sadly.  Does anybody really think this is a good idea?  I mean, come on.<br \/>\n&#8220;Sir, I have some bad news.  Johnny didn&#8217;t show up for class, so we turned on his jacket transponder, and I&#8217;m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but he&#8217;s dead and stuffed into a locker we don&#8217;t have the combination to.  Well, it&#8217;s either that or he took off his jacket, one or the other.&#8221;<br \/>\nWell, there&#8217;s no downside to that plan, nossir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, given that I had some pithy words written for some of these links and lost them, I find I have no heart left in remembering what I wrote, so here is a feeble attempt to get these things out &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/2005\/04\/16\/cleaning-out-the-post-folder\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stupidity"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/piGNU-71","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
