Gadget Sunday...You Have Got to be Kidding!
Today's gadget comes from a friend...love that you guys are looking at strange and unusual stuff on the Internet, too. I feel less odd now. Thanks, Mary! Love ya!
So here's the link. http://www.chiaobama.com/ Go visit...the link has a time lapse video of this sucker growing hair...a little freaky if you ask me. And really, I personally have no use for this gadget...and short of being maybe a cat feeder or something along those lines...I can't imagine anyone needing it. But obviously some schmuck somewhere bought them...or they wouldn't still be for sale.
*For the anonymous soul who emailed me to let me know that ellipses...ya know...these dot thingys I am so fond of...should not be overused...this post hopefully has more than enough ellipses to really bug you...did you not read my profile? I really, really don't give a rat's behind about your opinion of my writing...cause I don't know you...nor do I want to...but thanks for giving me the name for these dot thingys...I will call them ellipses from now on...every time I use them...Okay?? And for the benefit of anyone who might be reading this and is curious about the proper use of ellipses...obviously I could care less what they are used for...I use them when I am thinking crap that I shouldn't type...and it works for me...but for everyone else...here's the %$^# definition -
Ellipses
An ellipsis is a series of three points with spaces between them (. . .) inserted into a quotation to indicate the omission of material from the original quotation. There are quite a few simple rules for the proper use of ellipses, which are used more often in legal writing than most forms of writing, since lawyers often (generally too often) quote material from other sources. Failure to use the proper form of an ellipsis could misrepresent the work of another person and result in legal liability for the writer. Correct use of ellipses, on the other hand, shows that the writer has carefully attended to detail, and thus increases the reader's confidence in the reliability of the written work.

Oh Snap! I thought you used ellipses because you have Attention Deficit ... Oh Shiny! Or maybe that's just me .... trailing off into deep thought (which happens a lot -- particularly parenthetically).
