The closest I have ever come to owning a Jaguar was when I owned a BMW. (It makes sense in my head anyway.)

It was not in mint condition so I parked it wherever I wanted to.  I've also enjoyed the same parking habits with my Dodge Caravan, Chrysler New Yorker, Toyota Tercel, Plymouth Duster, Toyota Corolla, Datsun 310, Chrysler K Car, and Buick Skylark.

That's the advantage of driving vehicles with a few dings and scratches.  You can park where you want to and apparently your co-workers will never feel the need to prank your car with Post-It notes.

I do not like yard work.  I am especially not fond of cutting the grass - though I have fond memories of our old Lawn Boy lawnmower.

One of the things that drives me nuts about cutting the grass is having to first stoop and scoop our dog's stuff, move planters, lawn chairs, and then visiting relatives so I can have a straight run at our offensively tall blades of grass (I know it's not Kentucky Blue because it's green) with my Sears 6.5 horsepower, gas powered, self-propelled, rear bagging mower.  Don't even get me going about having to navigate around trees and their roots.

My motto for cutting the grass? - "What I mow, let me mow quickly and in a straight line."

Needless to say, I won't be adding one of these grass chairs to my backyard very soon.

If you hate housework - you'll quickly grow to hate this game.

You are allowed to play it if you have a Hoover vacuum at home.  Ok, you can play if you have a Filter Queen, Sears Electrolux, or even one of those Dison vacuums.  I bet even a Dirt Devil owner can play.  Whatever brand of vacuum cleaner you own, you are allowed to play.

I wonder if they will ever bring this game out for Swiffer owners?

Sorry!  Hoover removed their vacuuming game.

If I find it again I will put it back here.

Rube Goldberg Machines are pretty neat. I'm not sure what the fascination behind them is, but I suppose it's the same thing that makes us like the other kitchen gadgets, hardware gizmos, and homemade inventions of the world.

I don't speak Japanese myself, so I have no idea what these machines are promoting.  The music that accompanies them is kind of catchy to - in an amusement park kind of way.
