The Self-Rotating Marshmallow Roaster

I know I've heard of this before, but at the Samsonite Factory Store in Camarillo, CA, I finally saw, in person, a self-rotating marshmallow roaster (flame sold separately). What was hilarious was that this device was next to the battery-operated grill brush, and the automatic turning 5-hot-dog cooker (again, flame sold separately).

Now, don't get me wrong. I own an electric razor, and a battery-operated toothbrush, and I think neither idea is a bad one; in fact, I love both inventions. I think the Roomba is a great invention as well. However, a self-rotating marshmallow roaster??? Are we that lazy nowadays to turn our skewers when one side of our roasted marshmallows are done? Or is "even roasting" of marshmallows that important to some people?

Actually...I wonder if anyone's ever tried roasting marshmallows in a Ronco Rotisserie...

In other news,
this week could make or break my Bargainshare fantasy football season. At 4-4, a win puts me in great shape to make the playoffs, while a loss puts me in great danger. Even though I'm a St. Louis Rams fan, I gotta cheer for Larry Johnson to run all over my Rams. Either that, or I gotta hope Cincinnati's Carson Palmer gets lost on the way to his game, and Cincy's backup QB goes off for four TDs, all to Chad Johnson or TJH (I'm not even going to try to spell his last name).

Some random-ness for today:
- From the makers of the Self-Rotating Marshmallow Roaster, we bring to you the following innovative products:
- The Restaurant Waiter Tipper
- The Luggage Carrier Pusher
- The Automatic Tie Tier
- The Halloween Candy Giver
-
and my personal favorite, The Battery-Powered 4Pc Cutlery Set, featuring a self-scooping spoon, a self-pronging fork, and a self-cutting knife. Set also includes rubber gloves to avoid accidents.

If these companies are going to make stupid inventions, can they at least make something useful? For instance, if a company made a device called The Telemarketer Telemarketer, a device that could sign up telemarketers for telemarketers, wouldn't you buy one? The company could also make The Spammer Spammer, and make a fortune!
- The Los Angeles Dodgers of Chavez Ravine--not to be mistaken for the Los Angeles Angels Somewhere Near Garden Grove And Santa Ana, Peculiarly Located In Orange County, Not In Los Angeles County, But They Use Los Angeles In Their Team Name Anyway--are interested in signing Jason Schmidt, but they say they may not have the money to re-sign essentially a player-coach in Greg Maddux? Why don't they just trade Chad Billingsley for Ronnie Belliard?
- Am I crazy for thinking that it's 50-50 that Peyton Manning will win a Super Bowl ring before the Los Angeles Clippers win an NBA title?
