The things you read on the internet...

... when you have too much time on your hands. This damn flu sure took the zap out of me. Though I'm not sick like "sick in bed, wish I'd die" kind of sick now, I just haven't gotten my energy back. After a few hours of chores I'm pretty much pooped for the rest of day. And when I think about going into the studio to work on some UFOs, there's just no enthusiasm or a hint of creativity in me at the moment. So I kill time sitting on my ass cruising the internet. I was browsing through the Yahoo Most E-Mailed Photos and just about wet my pants laughing when I saw this GoGirl photo. And when I went to the GoGirl website, it just got funnier and funnier. Each page of the site was hilarious, I mean laugh out loud hilarious! (Or maybe I'm just so bored from languishing in the house, I'd find just about anything funny) It's like the commercial spoofs they do on SNL, only this product is for real.
According to the website:

"Only GoGirl is made with flexible, medical grade silicone. Dispose of it after use. Or clean and reuse as you like. (Urine is sterile, but the product can come into contact with contaminates during use, so take precautions when cleaning.) Our patented splash guard eliminates messing and spilling. Once you practice a time or two, using a GoGirl is going to feel like second nature. You won’t be like a man. You’ll just pee like one."

So you can shell out $6.99 every time you pee and throw them away, or carry a urine smelling piece of silicone around in your purse- I'm assuming no civilized person would wash their GoGirl in the sink of a public restroom where other people wash their hands, but would wait until they got home to use their own sink for something so disgusting. Oh- and for the outdoorsy gals they offer GoGirl in camouflage colored tubes. I guess the camouflage color wouldn't stand out as much as the pink tubes when discarded in the wilderness? I mean, come on, nobody wants to see pink tubes with used lavender mini- urinals stuffed back in them littering up the National parks. Remember America- we're going green! (I wonder how long it takes silicone to break down?) Anyway, if you're bored out of your mind and your life has no purpose, visit the GoGirl site and have some laughs. But for gawd's sake, if you buy any please don't tell me. I don't want to know any woman who would buy and use something so ridiculous.

And one more chuckle I got today was from an article about discount caskets now being sold by Walmart and Costco. If you buy a casket now at a discount price, where would you store it until you needed it? Or does your family place a rush order the minute you die and just hope it arrives before the funeral? Actually I'm all for not wasting money on burial expenses. I've never understood spending lots of money for a box to be buried in the ground. I've made Mike promise me that he will not pay to have me embalmed (many states don't require embalming), have me placed in a cardboard box, cremated and my ashes placed in a simple degradable container and tossed into the Gulf. But if you'd rather spend eternity in a coffin, check out Walmart and Costco. And if you get one now, you can add some of your own creative embellishments to it- go out artistically!


I'm sure you're all hoping I'll be feeling much better next week and back to work in my studio so you don't have to read any more posts like today's. But I'm not promising anything -
