Goofy Mail Order Catalogue Product (Maybe The Goofiest)
For some unknown reason I am now the recipient of catalogues from the BBC America shop. We don’t even get BBC America on our basic cable so I know I didn’t request it. Guess they got my address from some other mailing list.
Most of the products are DVDs of the various programs aired on BBC America along with a few related items. Such as this gem…
Yes, that’s right…you too can purchase your own Doctor Who Dalek Voice Changer Helmet. Is there anything that would make you look more dorky than running around with that thing on your head. Even people at sci-fi cons would laugh at you. It’s one-size-fits-all so it’s apparently designed for adults to wear. That’s even more pathetic. Three buttons control how it alters your voice and if the buttons are on the inside of the helmet I guess you press ‘em with your tongue. And that want HOW much for it?!? This definitely qualifies as one of the goofiest products I’ve seen in a catalogue thus far in 2009.

Hi!
I followed your link from Sarge Charlie’s. I had a gastric bypass in 2001, in San Diego. So far, so good - no complications. But I had to quit work in ‘05 and hubman just got laid off in 11/08! I couldn’t afford the Cobra at my work, and we sure couldn’t afford hubman’s Cobra as we’re both in our 60’s! Since I’m only 61, I don’t qualify for Medicare yet so I have NO insurance for the first time ever and I’m scared! Hubman was 65 so filed for SS. We tried to get Kaiser’s Senior Advantage for him but by the time all info was sent, we were ONE day late and he was denied. What a system we have!
But I am totally against anything that NObama can conjure up to “solve” our insurance crisis. What people tend to forget is that juries, made up of our “peers,” have sat on cases that awarded multi-million dollar awards that are causing a lot of this mess. If you smoked for 40 years, D’oh!!! Yeah, you’re gonna die of lung cancer. Jeez. I get so upset with all of this stupidity!!!
We’re believers, too - or I think I’d be over the bend by now! I’m glad you were able to get a job and hope you continue to do well!
~~~Blessings~~~

If I could get away with driving in that thing, I might just go for it. The loony tunes on the roads around here need a few shocks…
