$7000 for WHAT? A Chair? Are you Crazy!?!
Apparently not. There is a chair in where you sit and someone else plucks the strings on the back. The German creation called the Acoustic Resonance Massage Chair is suppose to relax you.
How can I be relaxed in a chair that cost Seven Thousand Dollars? It’s all wood - no padding. And why can’t you be reclined just a bit?
There are other harmonically neumatic fads that cost less than Seven Grand. Heck, I got a bridge to sell you for seven grand. In these economic times, where we loose seven thousand in the market in one day, is a chair the right investment?
The chair doesn’t even play itself. You have to get a Harpist to help out. Can’t get the kids to do it, they would start banging on the strings to make the chair more annoying than relaxing.
The Chair is specifically tuned to the key of B or D. As a musician, I know that strings don’t stay in tune - not to mention that strings break. That means getting a professional tuner out there to take care of this chair. How much more is that?
I suppose if you have the extra cash and someone that really wants to learn to play an interesting instrument, then this chair is for you. Otherwise, spend the seven grand on an actual harp or piano, donate it to an orchestra that needs it, then go to the mall and get one of those massage pads that tie to the back of the chair. It would be a better investment.

I have seen and heard many different diets, but this one takes the Cake… er…. Cookie. Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet says it will help you curb your hunger, therefore you will loose the pounds. The Cookies come in many flavors and - along with shakes and suppliments - give you a system to shed those pounds.
Over 30 years of experience, 50,000 users and a new website at Cookiediet.com,Dr. Siegal has worked hard to get people results. And results he has - some of the Testimonials really want to make me eat cookies.
I just wonder if they have them with a creme center….

It’s a new twist to the classic question - “Mac or PC?” This video doesn’t have John Hodgeman or Justin Long, but it does put a new twist to the now “Cult” commercial.
I’ve seen it parodied many times, even seen the Southpark and DC vs Marvel versions. But this video takes the crown. It would be one that Weird Al might be proud of.
So sit back and relax to the beat, as he’s a right clicka, he’s an iBook flippa.

Today, after getting about 20 inches of snow in under 3 days, we had -5 with wind chills dropping to -25. Tomorrow will be the same and then the snow will be coming back. Of course, this seems to be the case for all of the Midwest and some of the East Coast. So the best thing to do is stock up on Firewood and just stay at home.
What? You don’t have a fireplace? Maybe you’re at work right now. Well, let us help you out. Turn up your heat to 80, start the computer and connect to the big screen. Then play this video. Don’t forget the Hot Cocoa.
Virtual fireplaces are not a new idea. With the new LCD technology, you can actually dress up an area to look like a fireplace complete with fire.
Nonetheless, here are a couple Fireplaces for you to warm your tooties on. Best part - you don’t have to add or flip any wood. Makes for an easy night!
Fireplace - Watch a funny movie here

*NOTE - Some of the pictures, while not disgusting, might be disturbing.
Uh Oh. I got a wrinkle. Oh NO! I’m getting OLD! What am I to do?
Fear not! The Nip and Tuck artists are here to make you look YOUNGER, Prettier and more vibrant! Stop in for a consultation and bring about $2000 with you….
OK, I do admit, there are some instances where facial reconstruction and plastic surgery is needed. Someone who loses half their face in an accident, a mal-formed lip or ear or whatever. However, with natural age, I might try a cucumber scrub for my face, but will never intentionally have someone change the look of my appearance.
Why you ask? Well, maybe you should look at these reasons from Online Nursing Degrees. And we are not talking about everyday Joe Schmoe mess ups. The list is of some celebrities. Of course the most famous would be Michael Jackson, but there are a lot more than just the King of Pop.
Some might not be the surgeons fault though. Some people walk in DEMANDING this be done. The surgeon might warn them the results might not be that great, but they still want it. OK…..
The site is a great informational one, but the clients on the site could be concidered the Dorks. So if you want to see how faces go wrong, check this out.

Yes, my first experience with this song was when Kenny sang it on South Park. The song is actually “I Have a Little Dreidel” by Samuel Grossman. The Dreidel is a 4 sided top with Hebrew letters on each side. The letters are an acronym for “a great miracle happened there”. It’s basically used for gambling - you get “gelt” for spinning the Dreidel.
So for today, let’s all spin the Dreidel as we run through this great video. It’s even got a Yiddish rapper in it. How can you go wrong?

A you a Classic Rock Afficianado? Can you tell the song simply by the solo? Well Prove yourself!
This quiz gives you 15 Classic solos and asks you a multiple choice question. The more you get right, the better (of course). So if you think you can do it, check out the quiz here.
BTW - I got a 93 out of 100. There was only one solo I didn’t know what it was.

Monty Python was a show I watched as I grew up. Heck, it was on PBS - and we were told anything on PBS was suppose to be good for you. Every Saturday at 10 PM we sat around the old Zenith, adjusted the rabbit ears and kicked the Penguin off the Tele.
I am not saying who my favorite Python actor was. They all did a great job. Eric Idle, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin (props to recurring cast member Carol Cleveland) all made my adolescence something to remember.
They all have had an interesting post career. Of course Graham Chapman is no longer with us, but we’ve seen the cast in many different movies like “A Fish Called Wanda”, “Transformers”, James Bond Movies and a lot more. From acting to directing, they’ve all been pretty active in film. Even Terry Gilliam’s art has been used and imitated many a time (I just saw a commercial which made me wonder if Gilliam was behind).
Anywho - I get Twitters from John Cleese from time to time. No, he doesn’t follow me :(. but I do follow him. Not stalk - Follow on Twitter. He does do some Podcasts, videos and Blogs over on his website - TheJohnCleese.com.
Of course, if you want to follow the other ones, their websites are:
Sorry - no website for Graham Chapman. He hasn’t communicated from the other side yet…

I think I have 2 sweaters somewhere in my closet. I always find sweaters to be too cumbersome and never really keep me sweating except at the wrong time. I don’t even really have sweatshirts for that matter - just a bunch of t-shirst and long sleeve button-downs.
However, if you need to wear a sweater, be smart. Simple color scheme. Nothing bright and nothing bulky. And if you’re going on a date, you want to especially be cautious. Don’t want to give the date the idea you might be a psycho - sadistic Mr. Rodgers character….
Laura Milligan wants to help you out. She posted 100 Types of Sweaters to avoid wearing on a first date. Of course if you think about it, you can apply this same idea to a tie. I used to have a Pilsbury Dough Boy tie….
I think the best thing to do on a date though is to just go in a pair of Spandex. OK, maybe not.

Elf Yourself is back. This time you can chose a few dances. Charleston, Country or Disco versions. Love the Disco version.

When I do an acoustic show, I play 3 chords. I call it the “3 chord song”. We play a lot of songs with those 3 chords. For instance, ROCK in the USA, What I like about you, Middle of the Road, Cherry Cherry and much more. In the band we take “Play that Funky Music” and merge with “I want to Thank You”. We also play a medley in the middle of “What I Got”.
I was on the Mike Tech Show and he played this song. It was an intermix of “Whole Lotta Love” and “War Pigs”. I was so impressed, I went on the Interweb to find this video. So here for you, I have Whole Lotta Zepplin…
Like that? How about Seven Nation Army is Made of These?
Maybe Some Rolling Stones Meet Temptations…
There are a lot more. I liked these three and thought we need a good musical distraction today. Rock Out!

In honor of the new Star Trek prequil trailer, we have this: A guy in London takes his flat (aka apartment) and turns it into his own Captains Bridge. Actually a “Voyager Style” Studio apartment, designed by Tony Alleyne.
What inspires a man to change his apartment like that? I suppose you could have put up some french pattern wallpaper or pad the walls with egg crate padding (like I did for audio). So why not Trekkin it?
Read more about the Apartment here. Complete with before and after pictures.
Star Trek comes out May 9th. View the Trailer here.

Technically, it’s about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. If you don’t go see a lot of movies, then this one is for you. Two guys spoiling 100 movies - old and new. I say it’s better than Cliff notes. No pricey movie tix - no popcorn in the teeth. Well, I suppose if you want to eat popcorn during that time, you can.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a quality video up on YouTube. Not to say it’s been all “Guy gets hit in the Jublees” videos, but this one really showed us that there are independent artists out there that can produce high - quality work.
This movie is about a woman with Cancer. She creates a fictional world in where the Aviatrix fights the evil cancer.
It’s only 10 minutes (gotta love the YouTube restriction), but it says a lot. The video is well done and the graphics are also top-notch.
If you see one YouTube video this year… WHY? But nonetheless - watch this one. Also Check out the website - theaviatrix.com
