HSN whore

I am really a gimmick whore!! Yesterday I was lying my fat ass on the couch and came across the Home Shopping Network (HSN) and became a zombie. I was enchanted by this printer they were selling. Ours has shit the bed so we have been in the market for a new one. This thing is a printer, scanner and copier not to mention photo maker. It seems to be the one that I have been wanting my whole life. At least thats what the cutie in the pink sweater had to say. Plus, they had a guy there just so I knew that it was guy approved I guess.

I woke up my wife and turned the TV on in the bedroom and showed her what the excitement was all about. She was groggy and had no idea what was being sold. She is under the impression that I actually am one of those guys that know about cars and computers. She is wrong! All I know is that these people had the dubious honor of selling me a new printer. I saw that 1,000 had been sold and I should probably hop on that. What's this? They are also adding some software too? One more thing I don't need!! Or maybe I do need a card making kit. Not to mention a sweet photoshop kit. I am going to be printing shit out all the time now.

I give them a call and they have me on file so it should make my checkout faster. My previous order from them was a collection of 200 knives! Who the fuck needs that many knives? Scary shit!! Good thing they are sitting at the bottom of my closet. Anyway, I am in the process of checking out and the guy dangles an offer of ink cartridges as well. The price seems decent so why not, throw em in. I am a whore!! I used the flex pay so it won't seem so bad that I spent all of this money on crap.

Oh well, I am off to go clean my son's foam bedroom mats for his floor. The dogs seem to think it's cool to piss on these things. That's great but do they realize that these things are in essence a fucking sponge? So, now I have the honor of trying to clean these things. I have bleach and all should be cool. I doubt it but what the hell.

Peace out!!
