@OMG! Ponies!: Now that you have your star, do you have an old band wagon I could purchase? nutbastard is apparently waiting for mine to arrive.

Congrats on the star by the way, I have always enjoyed your posts.

Make sure to keep one in your laptop bag at all times, and try scoring chicks with it. If one really is cool enough to do this, record the audience while you sit at an air port with your tube sock. I'd love to see what people and security have to say about this.

Oh yeah, great idea guys. You want a little privacy on the Tokyo subway, so you put the top one on and start typing. Next thing you know, you're getting groped and you have no idea who did it...

I seriously don't get it. Sometimes, I have to hide the light from my laptop when I type in the dark (yes, late at night in bed) and I've found that you can easily suffocate with such a thing. "Warmth" is an understatement.

It just reminds me too much of The Blob. These people look like they are being consumed by T.J. Maxx sweaters.

My other concern is always for the potential for thieves or other such nefarious characters to come up and pilfer the belongings of the idiots have their head and hands stuck in these things.

I consider myself a very moral person, but if saw some twit with one of these over their heads, I would at minimum move all their stuff to the other side of the room.

Yes folks, I've escaped from Newark.

@Kaiser-Machead: I'm telling you - it works. Plus, if there's a power outage, you can put tube socks on your cat's head and watch it walk backwards. Two cats equals twice the fun. There's your entertainment value right there.

Basically, the cat thinks its head is stuck in a hole and so tries to back out of said hole by walking backwards. That's upper limit of logic in an animal whose brain is the size of a pecan - right up there with the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

Then again, I try to perform mathematical calculations using 2 pounds of meat. As you can see, I'm the kind of guy who gets bored, puts tube socks on his cats' heads, and then pawns it off on a gadget blog as some kind of hippy-dippy, East Coast hint from Heloise.

So who am I to judge the limited logical deductive powers of my two dimwitted cats?

*actually, as the guy who buys their food and changes their litterbox, I'm just the guy to judge - they're idiots

But it has other uses, yes, far beyond that. You can use it for carpets, for pillows, for sheets, for curtains! Or covers for bicycle seats!

OMG! Ponies! — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 17:26:17 EDT

The top picture reminds me of a tip for anyone with cats:

Put a tube sock over your cat's head when trying to clip its claws. It freaks out the cat a little bit, but mainly just disorients the bejeesus out of the cat, allowing you to cut its claws.

Considering what groomers charge, it's just as easy to do it at home.
