What to post about....Obama recreating the Clinton presidency (So much for change). The big 3 automakers about to collapse. Proposition 8, the LDS church and gay activists. I'm having trouble deciding which subject to choose.
And the winner is......

With so many important topics it's a wonder why I'm choosing the new Living XL Holiday catalog as my subject. I don't know why but whenever this catalog comes in the mail I read it right away. Maybe I do it for the same reason I buy my clothes one size too big. I do it as a reminder that there is someone fatter than me out there. Although, It's getting harder to do. It's weird how last years clothes fit perfect now.

First up we have the Talking Scale. This is a heavy duty scale that has a 550lbs capacity. Now, I understand that there is a need for a high capacity scale. But do you really want it yelling out those big of numbers. I mean who feels good when your scale is yelling your weight out for everyone to hear. I wonder if it comes with a talking motivator. I imagine it would say something like " You still weigh five hundred twenty two pounds. That's like three people fatso! Have you even been trying to do anything about this weight?" I would consider purchasing this scale if only to put it into my guest bathroom and wait and see/hear if anyone uses it. Who wouldn't jump on a scale quick if it's just sitting there. $79.95



Next we have the BIG Keyboard. This item is for the person that has such fat fingers that a regular keyboard is impossible to use. Now you know what gift to get the next person that emails you with the subject heading "hjewyu tyhjerreer". It's fat fingers for "hey there". (think about it) Now you can just send them a BIG Keyboard. $199.95


Finally we've got the Bottom Buddy. Not much to say here. It's what you imagine it is. Any description is just too much information. There's one problem though. If you need one of these do you really want to call it your buddy? I wouldn't let my worst enemy let alone my best buddy in the world do what this thing is about to do. $49.95

Wowza. What an extravaganza!

First of all...I have to say that I would buy the talking scale, strictly to hear other's weights. That would be a wonderful way to humiliate your guests! However, I do know the real reason behind the talking scale. Have you ever watched those really fat people on pretty much any TLC special about fat people? They can't SEE the scale...how will they know what they weigh? They'd have to have someone squat next to the scale, below their belly in order to know their weight. THAT would be so embarrassing!

The BIG keyboard could come in handy. It reminds me of The Simpson's episode where Homer gains weight so he can work from home but then when he tries to call somebody he gets this message... "The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To order a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now."

Lastly...the Bottom Buddy... all I can say is: refreshing!

Ouch with the talking scale! Seriously, "you are the fattest person to weigh on this scale thus far!" I think I will do without it.
Lisa, the big keyboard reminded me of the same episode! Great minds!

I've been looking for some type of device that would wash my bum and now I see it available. What luck.

Bryan, thanks for informing the public of such amazing and useful devices. I don't currently receive the catalog but I will be soon!

I wrote a blog yesterday all about the Prop 8 crap, the protests and those stupid SOuthpark guys who are making the "Mormon musical." But then I realized, does anyone really want to hear me moan about it? the news is enough. I erased it. I'm glad you went with the catalog.

Lisa-They do have a scale with a remote read out for people that can't see the scale. Perhaps this is a different way to go. I hadn't thought about it.

Elise-I'd still like to read your post. I just didn't have the mental strength to write about anything serious.

The Bottom Buddy? Why is that funny? Do you laugh when I tell you about my 'Anus Amigo'? No, you don't. Because it's not funny.

Anus Amigo!!! Classic!
