Ooh, good idea! Mugs with a colour guide so that you can point out just how you want your coffee or tea...

Now I just need a minion to hand my mug to....

Why didn't I think of that, indeed.....

From the site:
"Ridiculously simple yet practical beyond belief, this nifty little product is brimming with 'why-didn’t-I-think-of-that' factor, and is set to become a must-have item for anyone who puts bottles and cans in the fridge. And that means you!

As you can see, the concept behind the Wine Wedge is so basic it barely needs explaining. But for anyone who failed elementary physics, we will anyway. Basically this rubber wedge has been created to help stack bottles and cans in neat, space-saving formations, in either the fridge, cupboard or on any flat surface."

We're a family of book freaks, always several noses in pages each night. So I love the fact these are clever, cheap ($6) and come as a set of 20.

Yes I do own these. No I don't want to talk about why. Yes I have used them. No I don't want to say how.

I will, however, say that they come in handy at the most unusual times and also make a great topper for a present.

Let's not discuss this again please. I'm a little embarassed.

Late 80's John Cusack/Tim Robbins goodness.

I'm sure you have certain movies that trigger atmospheric recollections that leave you all warm and fuzzy.... this is one for me. I was an undergrad at Northwestern 89-93 and Saturday mornings were about lounging around in darkened rooms at the Pike frat house before doing the walk of shame home, eating cold Dominos pizza and watching this and Star Trek Next Generation. Might not sound like much but what I wouldn't give for a few of those days now. Though if I was leaving a frat house on a Saturday am now at the age of 37 I think I'd be looking for high-fives not doing a walk of shame, lol.....

i know very few people who have seen it so if you happen to be in that crowd, go buy this. It is so damn funny. It's about a couple of guys trying to make it in the music business. Their attempts at producing low-budget videos, for one, will have you laughing your a** off. Check out this youtube clip and enjoy not only a young Robbins' 'fro but the beefy Swedish band that performs Baby Doll:

And the soundtrack for this is one of my all-time favorites. A group called The Swanky Modes (great name, IMO) does quite a bit of it and that alone is worth the price of the disc. They do a Roscoe's Chicken song that, two decades after I first heard it, makes me laugh out loud. In the movie, the boys use it as an ad video for a white guy's chicken house. Check out the youtube clip:

And if you want to see prime Swanky Modes, check out their performance of Ordinary Man. Maybe you had to see the movie to appreciate this but just watching it puts me in a great mood. And reminds me that I want to start making grand entrances involving fog machines:
