    I am impressed with how Conan has upped his game since taking over from Leno. He'd gotten a tad stale on his old show, and I had stopped watching.


    I still think that Craig Ferguson is the funniest of any of them. Now with Conan at 11:30 and Ferguson at 12:35, I've got the best of both worlds. Except I don't get any sleep.

    Ok, here is something that needs invented: A lawn mower that has a built in trimmer/edger on the side, so I dont have to go around later and trim against walls and borders, but can do it all at once. If such a useful item exists, I cant seem to find it, and how hard could it be to build?

    @Curves: Easy. Take a trimer and bolt (or if you're really lazy, duct tape) it to the side of your mower. Problem solved!

    I have to admit that I really do enjoy watching the "Pitchmen" show on Discovery. About two weeks ago, when someone brought up Vince to Billy, he just gets very pissed. I also like how it explains why things are priced certain ways in certain commercials, and how they come up with the pitches. I also didn't realize how many Direct Marketing companies are in NJ!

    @AllToAll,ByMyMustard!_GitEmSteveDave: Well didn't Billy say he always sells stuff for 19.95 otherwise he won't do it? Billy May's voice can really get on my nerves sometimes. The screaming commercials don't do it for me. THe show is surely entertaining though.

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher: Only the 2 minute ads are 19.95. Things like the Dual-Saw use a 30 minute ad, and are generally more expensive.

    This is "Frakkin'" AWESOME! Now I don't actually have to bother myself with mustering up enough energy to press down the VOLUME on the remote!

    When I saw the word "Volume" in the title I thought that meant I'd get a reprieve from the number of Snuggie and Sham-Wow commercials.


    Damn.
