Kids these days are driving too young. I’m not talking about cars, although it does frighten me that in some states 14 year old kids are given a right to drive. I’m talking about shoes.
Yesterday, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some new shoes – they look just like the ones Paul McCartney wore in his itunes commercial. Anyway, as I was trying on some shoes, some kid with spiky hair went zooming past me. After nine more kids zooming past me, I noticed that they had wheels coming out of their shoes.
I’d heard about these somewhere – on the door to the library it strictly forbids the wearing of these shoes.
After a little research, I found out that they are called Heelys – which is a misspelling – it should be Heelies. How lazy are we? Here’s an excerpt from the Wikipedia article: “The sport” – that’s right. I guess laziness is now a sport – “has quickly been gaining popularity since Heelys first came on the market in 2000. Because wheels with adequately slippery bearings allow the wearer to glide rather than continually take steps…” We are too lazy to take steps. For Crying Out Loud!

The great thing about cats is that they never know their name, or at least they don’t come when their name is called. You can name a cat basically anything. I’ve been thinking about some great names for cats:
– The first fifty digits of pi.
– Something like, “http://www.herekittykittykitty.com/meow.html”
– For advertising name your cat “Sony” or “Home Depot” or something.
– Or you could name your cat whatever time it is. “Here, 12:23.” Pro: people will like you because they’ll never have to ask you what time it is. Con: You’ll constantly have to change your cat’s name and have to keep buying new food dishes so that you can change the name…
You couldn’t name a dog any of these things because dogs actually (sometimes) come when you call their name. You wouldn’t want to be chasing your dog around town yelling, “Come home, 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993…!”

5. Those Wii Guys
If some guys came up to my house and asked if they could play with my Nintendo, I’d say no. They kind of creep me out. It’s like your parents always taught you – don’t talk to strangers, and don’t let them in your house no matter how fun and entertaining the Nintendo is.
4. That blue Kmart lightbulb
If a talking lightbulb came up to me and told me what to buy I wouldn’t listen to it. Have you seen this guy’s commercials? He’s just kind of frightening. It’s shocking to see a talking blue lightbulb.
3. Dairy Queen lips
No picture available
Last night I saw this talking lips commercial in black and white. That’s pretty freaky. The lips appear dark grey and it looks very odd and frightening.
2. Michelin Man
What’s the deal with this guy? Is he supposed to be made out of tires? I’ve never seen white tires. The confusion of the whole thing frightens me. Plus his feet are enormous.
1. Burger King King
Definitely the scariest and creepiest by far. Have you seen that one commercial where they guy wakes up and the King is in his bed. That is now my biggest nightmare.
