Upping the Redneck Ante

Considering the neighborhood I live in, I MUST have this...



"Many people have bought one for both sides of the bed." What a great idea! I'm going to get one for each couch too.

A niche I didn't know needed filling

I know that a lot of people don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. It's a sad, ugly truth of life. Anything that can be done to encourage these lazy folks I'm all for, I just don't know how effective this would be:

Plus it wasn't one of those hand sanitizer dispensers. It was full of liquid soap and the only water to rinse the soap off was right in front of you. There was no sink in the stall.

So, if someone is too lazy to go all the way to the sink to wash their hands, how will this help?

I also love that they spent the money for this random soap dispenser, but can't afford a lip to the tank. Nice plywood!


And while we're talking about random things in bathrooms, this one is in a local bar:

WTF? I don't want to know what electrical appliance goes there....

Cautiously Optimistic

Well the wait wasn't as long as I thought it would be. Barenaked Ladies' first album since co founder Steven Page left, All in Good Time will be released at the end of March.

Overall I'm excited, but cautiously so. I have liked every every album released they've released so far, certainly some more so than others. IMHO Gordon is still the mark to beat with Stunt a close second, but all nine albums have something that I really like. While I like Ed's voice and writing, I do feel that Steven was the major influence/source of the best music that BNL produced.

The big disappointment already is that they're not coming to Denver. Big time suck.

However, speaking of Steven, his new album The Vanity Project is already out. I downloaded it, but haven't had a chance to fully listen to it yet. though, from what I've heard so far, I like!
