I remember getting the Mad Magazine. I enjoyed all it had to offer from the cover of Alfred E. Neumann incorporated into the pop cover, to the fold up in back. It was and still is a great magazine.

One thing that I enjoyed more was the comics. Spy vs. Spy, Don Martin (He has a Shrine, you know), but just as important was Al Jaffee. He brought a lot of sarcasm to his strips with “Snappy Answers for Stupid Questions”. For instance, you might see someone at the computer and another ask the question:

“Are you on Dorkazine.com”

The reply would be a trifecta – like:

“No, I am on ebay buying an expensive car”

“No, my pants are on fire and I am looking online for the proceedure to ‘Stop, Drop and Roll’”

“No, I thought this was the microwave. Hopefully my Burrito is done…”

On a daily basis, Bitstrips offers a remix challenge: Write a good caption to the bitstrips comic. It was a street bum with piles of money. This inspired me to do an Al Jaffee tribute. So enjoy this Snappy answer to a stupid question.

You might be looking at your family photo and thinking – Why did I wear THAT sweater? Why did I wear that much makeup? I look like a clown. The whole family looks like clowns. And what the heck was the dog doing in that picture?

Well, if you don’t have one of those and would like to scoff at others that do, then check out Awkward Family Photos, a website dedicated to those pictures you want to burn before someone with a scanner gets their hands on it.

Teased hair, acid wash jeans, polyester jackets and oversized glasses are what you will find here.

Superman has super powers. Batman has a cool suit. Superman has heat vision. Batman has a cool car. What Batman lacks in power, he makes up with money. Well, I call it as I see it.

College Humor has a great 2 part animated short about the two superheros… and… huh? OH ALRIGHT! One superhero and a guy in a bat suit. Below is part 1. Hey Batman! Spare change?

I remember when the CableCuffs showed up – being able to wrap a cable and hold it down with the cuff was a great invention. It was like Velcro, but it’s locking mechanism made it more useful in some situations. So now, picture a cuff on a hanger…

That is the Claw by Lidwig, a company that creates quick clamp technology. The Quick Clamps are great for woodworking, but the Claw is something for the everyday household.

Got a Garden hose, rope, air hose or other cable? Well, just wrap it up, put it on the Claw and hang it in the garage. Running an extension cord and want to keep it out of the way? Run it through the Claw and hang it on a nail.

The Claw is made with a Reinforced Glass Composite. That means it’s a glass fiber weaved by plastic, therefore stronger than plastic. I talked to one of their team members and they say it can hold 30 kg, or 66 lbs. If that is the case, you might even be able to hold up something like a Bicycle by using 2 clamps.

At first the site says it’s coming soon, however their Lidwig team member said I can get it through their American Distributor (EagleAmerica.com) and it says the Claw is available for order. If you are looking for a useful item that can also act as an organizer, then the Claw may be for you.

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….
