Nothing Says Holidays Like "Kosherland"

Aren't holiday customs and traditions so great?  This goodie was randomly sitting on a shelf at a HomeGoods.  Nothing says "Happy Holidays" more than the Kosherland game.  It's like a holiday Candyland, except it's religious, all the food is prepared kosher and there's a gingerbread-wooden-door-yellow house.  

Well, nothing like a holiday Candyland, actually.

Crop Circles Captured

 

  

Ever seen crop circles?  They exist.  These views of real crop circles were shot using a Blackberry on a flight over Oklahoma in 2011.

Real-Life Blues Brothers

This gem was spotted in the parking lot of a Wawa store in Pennsylvania.  An authentic, one-dome-light police cruiser from yesteryear.  One might expect Aykroyd or Belushi to come out of this beauty with dark shades and leisure suits on, but no driver could be spotted. 

Vandelay Industries

This is great. It's a real parking bumper, sent to me by a friend via his cell phone. Seinfeld fans enjoy.

The Flying Car is Here for "Drivots"

Since when did a revolutionary breakthrough in personal travel that will turn the auto driver's world upside-down fly under the radar of super media coverage?

This new flying car is going to create the next generation of "drivots" - drivers who are pilots - and demand an "airways" road and interstate system that is obviously coming to us faster than we thought.

Here's the video:

I'll Betcha Chocolate Syrup

Make a bet, you owe a bottle of chocolate syrup. At the grocery, anyway.

When counting on the payoff from that wager on the big game, make sure you're still talking cash, unless you've got some vanilla ice cream around.

Dentist Vending Machine on the Used Car Lot?

The dentist just did his regular cleaning, which of course is covered by insurance. However, when did he become a used car salesman?

My wife had her teeth cleaned also, and during her visit she was pitched a comprehensive teeth whitening session and was even urged to visit a "buddy pal" of his to see about orthodontics.

She'd already been to an orthodontist as a kid, but before she could respond, the dentist instructed the receptionsist to quickly get on the horn with his buddy-boy to get her booked and have a copy of her films sent over. Referral, ca-ching, ca-ching, ca-ching.

Even the hygenist asked what samples I preferred, like the travel-size toothpaste, floss and mouthwash, which are all apparently now at a premium. I asked for Glide floss, and she left the exam room to head to the "back-up supply closet," as she put it. Geez.

Oddly, a sticker of SpongeBob was included in my bag. Samples at a premium, but still time to include the plug for the estranged SpongeBob characters gleaning their pearlies? Creepy.

Will the dentist start charging for samples in a self-serve vending machine in the waiting room, complete with indivdual SpongeBob sitckers for the kiddies for a $1 each?
