Gadgets, gotta love them and hate them. We could certainly do without some of them. Very nice post, Bone. Have a nice day.

I'm catching up on some blogs...I'm a little behind.<BR/><BR/>When I was younger I thought it would make sense to have scissors that cut squiggly lines or zig zags. I was SO UPSET when I saw craft scissors at the store a few years later. Someone stole my idea. I should be rich and retired right now.

What have you been doing since 1984 with all that glue then?<BR/><BR/>And did you never see the folding stick that measured? You might have had that growth spurt with all the zigzags it made while you were trying to measure yourself.<BR/><BR/>And there are laser tape measures now. Time for a field trip to a hardware, live blogging?

One of your better posts in a long time... I laughed through the entire thing.<BR/><BR/>I love what's in your brain. It's a deep, vast jungle of WTF?!<BR/><BR/>I keep this in my top five fav posts.

Thanks for the awkward "laugh out loud in a public place" post! It's much appreciated!

"I have a tape measure. It was made in Korea. But let's not get into the discussion of why in the world we're having to import tape measures from Korea. I'll save that for my first appearance on The Colbert Report."<BR/><BR/>I love your random thoughts!

Susan - Yeah, they have those laser things now, too. I workshopped that. It wasn't as funny :)<BR/><BR/>I think this is the first time I've ever mentioned TMZ on my blog. How can that be?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind words.<BR/><BR/>Eileen - Evidently, they're too busy inventing retractable cords for cell phone chargers.<BR/><BR/>Shelby - Aw, thank you.<BR/><BR/>Jen - Please comment whenever

Well she certainly isn't any Girl Scout! Sometimes I want to send these folks a copy of the Girl Scout Law...and a Girl Scout Policewoman to arrest them for breaking it.<BR/><BR/>yeah, the jerkstore was fresh out of her!

what a fun trip this was... i have thought about many of them myself...and by the way,, there is a school of thought that says michael nesmiths mother invented white out to cover up any ties that link her to the monkeys......

I had a totally witty &amp; awesome invention quote all ready to go this morning when I read your blog. 12 hours of work later my brain is fried. Sorry Bone, guess I need to comment first thing in the morning.

I like the title too. And the end. And the middle. And the in betweens.<BR/><BR/>Here's to more gadgets. Well, gadgets that actually do things I need them to do.

I'm irritated with the person who invented clothes that don't fold themselves after being washed. <BR/><BR/>They can send a person to the moon, but you can't have some whizz-gadget to fold a seven-dollar shirt?

What about the rolling devices used to measure very long distances? Wouldn't those be considered an advance? Must have been really hard to measure really big things, like say your yard, with a regular tape measure.<BR/><BR/>Best part: TMZ<BR/><BR/>If any of your other drafts are this funny I hope to be reading them soon!

Pia - I know you're using "sick puppy" most affectionately.<BR/><BR/>Oh, you mean Sha Na Na! I actually tried making it into an acronym of something easy to remember, like for instance, GABE KAPLAN. I got: "Go Ahead, Blog..." Then I got stuck.<BR/><BR/>Renee - Oh that reminds me. I completely left out my Ovaltine bit!<BR/><BR/>Coconut - No, either I'll have to begin a new blog or people will

I used the local library and the county courthouse. You can look at old census records and it tells you the names of the parents and the children in the family, so you can kind of work backwards.

Erasermates never fully erased, ergo I thought they were a waste of money. But no one should be so ashamed of loving the Bee Gees that they scribble out the inscription. <BR/><BR/>And ha ha, two phones, ha ha. That's funny! If Bell invented the phone, did Watson invent the crank call?

You haven't used glue for it's "intended purpose"? I am almost afraid to ask...<BR/>And I tend to measure myself occasionally too. I'm not growing, but at least I haven't gotten over the hill to the shrinking stage yet!!

I was hoping this was going to be that story about meat and round objects, but oh well, still good.<BR/><BR/>I also was very misled by the word "carpool" as a child. I still don't think it seems fair.

Well this was certainly better than Kenny Banya. Actually you could give Jerry a run for his money.<BR/><BR/>ya know I've owned a jigsaw for years and have only cut straight lines with it...if you wanna make a good curved line (like for a puzzle) you need a scroll saw!

oh the expecting a growth spurt--as I said you're one sick puppy bone<BR/><BR/>And the end of almost every paragraph<BR/><BR/>Signed:<BR/>two comments for na--whatever--sounds like that rock group from the 70's that did 50's music

You are one sick puppy bone :)<BR/><BR/>obviously this is a draft as there's almost too much great material<BR/><BR/>You mistaking your father's jigsaw had me hysterical....<BR/><BR/>I even love the title
