Thinking of Moving to Mexico (NY)

Are you thinking about moving to Mexico? Mexico, NY that is. If you are, I highly suggest that you think about that. In the past 8 days, they have received upwards of at least 10 feet of snow. Yes, 10 feet. To put that in perspective, most living rooms have 8 foot ceilings while office buildings have 10 foot ceilings. Sports wise, a regulation basketball hoop is 10 feet from the ground. See below. ↓

Hopefully that puts the height of the snow into perspective for you. You ask why I bring this up. Well here in New England, we are supposed be getting our first N’oreaster of the season. Down here on the shoreline of Connecticut, they are projecting 3 to 6 inches while in the middle of the state 5 to 10 inches, and up in the hill, upwards of a foot. Down here in West Haven, we have only had about 1 inch of measurable snow this year, which is a huge change from years past. Thanks to my Uncle Jock for the tip. Here are some pics from upstate NY after the jump.

Bike pedal exerciser

Cup warmer / cooler

The only thing besides the sink that is missing is the cable or satellite receiver. I am not sure if the megaphone in the picture comes with it, but can you imagine hearing someone yelling thru a megaphone, “I need more toliet paper honey,” only to have your neighbor hear that.

This could be a dangerous toy. Think about it, you go to work, you come home and spend the rest of your night on the crapper. It’s got everything you need just about, including the kegerator. The funniest thing about to me is the bike pedal exerciser. Not only can you shed pounds going to the bathroom, but you can work off a few extra calories doing it.

Morning Coffee

Most of you are probably waking up right now thinking about heading out to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks to get your morning coffee or your waiting for your coffee machine to get done so you can have your morning fuel. Well if you lived in the Seattle area this would be who just might greet you at a few of the coffee places around Seattle.

That’s right. A girl in a bikini (barista) would be taking your order and getting you your nonfat pumpkin latte or your tall cup of joe with 5 sugars and skim milk.

In order to compete with the big chains, some enterprising owners in the Seattle area have gone a different route in order to bring in business. They have their baristas dress up in bikinis or tasteful lingerie who make and serve your coffee and other beverages. The owners have seen a tremendous spike in business since the changeover in wardrobes. Most of the girls pull in about a $100 a day in tips. All for a $3 cup of coffee.

I think this a genius idea. I am not sure how it would work here in Connecticut but I’d have to venture a guess that you would definitely get a lot of the construction business to come in if you had very nice looking women working in your coffee shop. Would you rather get your coffee at one of these places and see a girl in a bikini? Or would you rather go to your local Dunkin Donuts? I don’t drink coffee but I tell you this. If I lived in the Seattle area or we had a place like this here in Connecticut, I would definitely start drinking coffee.

Big Oops!!

This is what happens when you don’t heed your own advice.

A CBS 58 news van out of Milwaukee was heading to Big Muskego Lake to do a story about the safety of snowmobiling on ice when the driver of the van mistakenly drove over a frozen channel thinking it was a road. Luckily the driver of the van was not hurt.

I guess this goes to show you that no matter what the signs say around frozen lakes and ponds, to be careful.

Need Some Bacon?

If you like bacon, you may want to give the William Coursey of Georgia a call.He has the great fortune of shooting an 1,100 lb wild boar. Yes 1,100 lbs. The boar is supposed to be bigger than the famed “Hogzilla” who was also shot in Georgia back in 1994.

All I know is that is one big ass wild pig. I highly recommend to him to get some Lipitor because he’s gonna need it after having all that bacon.

Got Gas?

Now this one is a good. A flight going from Dallas to Washington, D.C. had to make an emergency landing in Nashville, TN because a female passenger was lighting matches to hide the smell from her farts.

Some passengers told flight attendants they had smelt burning matches and when the lady was asked about it, she didn’t give any answers. She was not allowed back on the flight and is not allowed to fly American Airlines anymore.

“Of course, she was scared and embarrassed but all the passengers had to disembark, all the luggage had to be searched, a canine team was brought in, and about three hours were consumed in sorting out the situation,”

She was also not charged with any crime, since no damage was done other than a stinky plane.

Mistle Toe

It’s that time of the year when we all will be attending Christmas parties and avoiding “Marge” in accounting under the mistle toe. Let’s hope your kisses under the mistle toe are better than this one.
