As authority on all things good, it is occasionally my responsibility to advise you, the public, on which products to avoid. First up is the Poulan “Weed Eater” brand leaf blower. This is a product with an identity crisis: it has never, as far as I know, eaten a weed while in my employ. I bought this a couple of years ago, and while it has served me well for two seasons, yesterday the throttle control decided to jettison itself in the middle of leaf cleaning duty. I believe a piece of the throttle is now forever missing (possibly at the bottom of a mountain of leaves), without which I shall no longer be able to start the engine on the thing.
Also, stay away from Giant brand shaving gel. When they are out of the real thing, as was the case this weekend, you would be better advised to shave with hot pepper sauce.
I recently turned off images in firefox to reduce my traffic footprint on the corporate firewall. Here’s my plea to web developers everywhere: please don’t set the alt tag on your 1×1 transparent layout hacks to anything but ‘ ‘. pixelItblankcanspacebe1x1hardemptytospacerread. Thank you for trying to be accessible, though.
New countertop arrives tomorrow. Antsy.
