Ergonomic bar stools?

I think people should be demanding ergonomic bar stools. Why is it that people who can't type or use a computer for more than five minutes without ergonomic chairs and keypaids and wrist braces and so on and so forth, can then go to a bar and get plastered sitting on a stool for hours at a time, despite inebriation? There's something about just squatting on that stool that is part of the bar/drinking experience. Come to think of it, I have seen stools with small backs to provide back support to drinkers.

On cabinet hardware

My mother went out recently to look for a way to fix her refrigerator, and wound up buying a brand new TV set and entertainment center. I got to look at the TV yesterday, and it was interesting to see a rectangular picture more in the format of a movie screen, though on one movie you still could see the black box shaping the format. I didn't see the cabinet hardware of her entertainment center since that hadn't been delivered yet.

Many uses for an animal costume

It's amazing to me how many new perversions and fetishes have popped up in the last few years. Maybe they were always there, but in such few numbers that the few people involved were too isolated to make any impression on the world. It's part of the power of the Internet, I guess, that even extreme sexual minorities can become known to each other and the world. I mean, I thought I had not been very sheltered sexually since I was a teenager. I read a zillion books -- but none of those old books every listed the acronym MILF (I had to ask someone what that one meant). Also, none of them listed people who'd like to dress up in an animal costume to have sex.

Cool Swiss army watches

When I was a kid, the height of cool when it came to knives was, of course, the Swiss army knife, which everybody knew could do everything from whittle a piece of wood to set off a blow torch, and now there are Swiss army watches which can do everything from tell you the time at any location in the world to hack into the Pentagon's super computers. And keep track of your favorite recipes. And bookmark your favorite porn sites. Who would want a Rolex when you can have a watch that will emit shark repellant when you're scuba diving at 200 feet in an enemy's harbor?
