It’s never happy when the last male of a species of any creature, let alone a cute little rabbit, passes away

Hollywood’s Out Of Ideas
Coming in 2007, Homey the Clown, the movie. I feel like taking a sack full of nickels, smacking the jackass who thought this was a good idea, and saying “Homey Don’t Play Dat.”
For The Ultimate In Laziness
I’ll just quote the site on this one:
During mealtime, operating the salt and pepper shakers wears us out. We have to lift the shaker and move it up-and-down, up-and-down, up-and-down… It’s tedious, it’s tiring, and often dangerous.
So their invention? Self-shaking salt and pepper shakers. Link via American Inventor Spot, who also had in the same post the best towel dispenser ever.
Local Hit And Run Victims Needs Your Help
Were you in downtown Bend at approximately 8:45PM on 4/28? There was a hit-and-run accident near the Greenwood Laundromat on 8th street, involving three folks who had already had some serious tragedy just a couple days earlier. Read the full (and very sad) story here about some folks who are having some seriously rotten luck and how you can help.

Pawning Your Goods To Pay For Gas
This is what we’ve come to: pawning off all the things we own just so we can fill up our car. Does anybody else see a problem with this?
$250,000 for a 600 sq. ft. shack
Sadly, somebody will end up buying it. This home is for sale by owner on the corner of 6th and Olney in Bend:
What you can’t see very well in the picture is that the asking price is $250,000. The home, at the most, is 600 square-feet, on a stupidly busy road, and is probably the cheapest thing for sale in Bend’s city limits. It will undoubtedly be bulldozed and a three story townhome put in its place. I think this guy needs a t-shirt.
If You Thought The Doggy Thong Was Bad…
Remember last week the doggy thong that helped with little Fido’s flatulence? If you’re obsessive about your dog, there are all sorts of odd-ball products you can buy including a dog treadmill, automated petter, and a human talk translator. Thanks Michelle for the link.
A Few Minor Updates
Just some updates to some previous posts as well as some new news:
- The marble finally came out this morning without incident. No more poop patrol for me.
- Actually, something was taken from my car the other night. This morning was the first time I’d actually driven anywhere in my car since Thursday, and noticed my sunglasses were gone — my $7, Bi-Mart special sunglasses. No huge loss there. But still will at least install some motion sensor lights for the driveway.
- This is what I woke up to this morning:
Yes, that is about seven inches of snow in my backyard and burying my cars, and yes, it is April 17. What’s funny is my office in Sunriver, which is at a higher elevation and usually gets beaten with snow, only had about an inch on the ground. Mt. Bachelor ended up with about 14 inches in the last 24 hours, and they still have a mid-mountain base of 192 inches.
Is anybody else ready for spring yet? Because, despite what Simone says, it ain’t here yet.
More posts later when I get myself organized, I just know a bunch of people were asking about those items.
Bend.com Founder’s House Burns To The Ground
While Bend.com founer Spencer Dahl and I have had our issues with each other publicly (read the comments on this post and this post), I would never wish this on anybody.
Needless to say, Bend.com is down right now. And Spencer, I know you and I have had our issues with each other, but if you need a place to temporarily park the domain until you’re back up and running, you know how to get a hold of me.
Celebrity Quote Of The Day
“One day of our life means a lot for someone. It makes me feel so good. Like, I probably feel, like, better than she does.” Paris Hilton, please just shut up.
