Best of Craigslist : Stupid clock with day, month and date read out
Thought this was funny:
"I bought this stupid clock on E-Bay for my 86-year old aunt, because she is getting confused. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until it arrived that you have to manually change everything, every day, except the time.
Every day. Push three buttons. If you forget for a day, or only push two buttons, the large, black and white read-out that is so easy to read, is wrong. I found it made her even more confused. If the stupid clock said something, she believed it. I would call her up and tell her what day it is and she would argue with me, because her stupid clock said something different.
Stupid clock. I bought her a new one that automatically changes every day.
This stupid, battery operated clock is free to whomever wants it. You will find it easier to work in harmony with it if you are a fairly cognizant person. On the other hand, if you are not always cognizant and want to drive your family crazy, this is the PERFECT clock for you. " Thought this was funny: ... more -

Ass Backpack
Grandma Gritty use to say the road to hell was paved with good intentions. We like to say the road to hell is paved with bad taste. The butt backpack called “Peach” by its creator, Yen-Hsiang Skeet Wang is just one more cobblestone in that long street. Wang takes asses from discarded mannequins and creates the unexpected, a backpack.
The Gritty is all for being green. We ration out paper and ink in our offices. We persuaded granny to finally give up Aqua Net. Heck we finally started to sort our recycling after our landlord threatened to evict us if we don't snap to it. But now we must take a stand. Discarded mannequin asses should not be converted into backpacks. They should be melted down and made into something more practical like Mardi Gras beads or Nintendo Wiis.

Packing in public: gun owners want firearms to be common accessory like iPods
Hey this might actually be a good idea. Cops might have a harder time with their tyrannical policing over Americans if more of us let them know we're not ready to lose the 2nd amendment like the rest of the Constitution.
"For years, Kevin Jensen carried a pistol everywhere he went, tucked in a shoulder holster beneath his clothes. In hot weather the holster was almost unbearable. Pressed against Jensen's skin, the firearm was heavy and uncomfortable. Hiding the weapon made him feel like a criminal.
Then one evening he stumbled across a site that urged gun owners to do something revolutionary: Carry your gun openly for the world to see as you go about your business. In most states there's no law against that.
Jensen thought about it and decided to give it a try. A couple of days later, his gun was visible, hanging from a black holster strapped around his hip as he walked into a Costco. His heart raced as he ordered a Polish dog at the counter. No one called the police. No one stopped him.
Now Jensen carries his Glock 23 openly into his bank, restaurants and shopping centers. He wore the gun to a Ron Paul rally. He and his wife, Clachelle, drop off their 5-year-old daughter at elementary school with pistols hanging from their hip holsters, and have never received a complaint or a wary look.
Jensen said he tries not to flaunt his gun. "We don't want to show up and say, 'Hey, we're here, we're armed, get used to it,' " he said. But he and others who publicly display their guns have a common purpose.
The Jensens are part of a fledgling movement to make a firearm as common an accessory as an iPod. Called "open carry" by its supporters, the movement has attracted grandparents, graduate students and lifelong gun enthusiasts like the Jensens.
"What we're trying to say is, 'Hey, we're normal people who carry guns,' " said Travis Deveraux, 36, of West Valley, a Salt Lake City suburb. Deveraux works for a credit card company and sometimes walks around town wearing a cowboy hat and packing a pistol in plain sight. "We want the public to understand it's not just cops who can carry guns."
Police acknowledge the practice is legal, but some say it makes their lives tougher. Police Chief John Greiner recalled that last year in Ogden, Utah, a man was openly carrying a shotgun on the street. When officers pulled up to ask him about the gun, he started firing. Police killed the man.
Greiner tells the story as a lesson for gun owners. "We've changed over the last 200 years from the days of the wild, wild West," Greiner said. "Most people don't openly carry. . . . If [people] truly want to open carry, they ought to expect they'll be challenged more until people become comfortable with it."
Jensen and others argue that police shouldn't judge the gun, but rather the actions of the person carrying it. Jensen, 28, isn't opposed to attention, however. It's part of the reason he brought his gun out in the open.
"At first, [open carry] was a little novelty," he said. "Then I realized the chances of me educating someone are bigger than ever using it [the gun] in self-defense. If it's in my pants or under my shirt I'm probably not going to do anything with it." Hey this might actually be a good idea. Cops might have a harder time with their tyrannical policing over Americans if more of us let ... more -
