I love kitchen gadgets. I have a drawer full of stuff like a strawberry huller and a calzone mold…you know, stuff that you can live without but it is kinda handy when you use it that one time a year. Most of it I’ve picked up at yard sales, but this new gadget by Heinz has got to be the king of all kitchen gadgets: The Beansawave. Yes! It’s a mini microwave you keep at your desk for heating up your beans!
This is not a joke, it’s an actual gadget that plugs into the USB drive of your computer and will retail for $160. And you just know no one in the office will ever make fun of you. You’ll be the envy the cubicle crowd! Just look at this dedicated guy enjoying his beans without even taking his eyes off his spreadsheet! And that Miss Slyboots over there across from him pretending not to notice…you know she’s dying with envy.
You totally crack me up. Where do you find this stuff? Your commentary is totally hilarous. I’m sure the office will still love that dude a couple hours after he’s eaten all those beans too.
I know! Can you imagine sitting next to a guy who ate a can of beans every day for lunch? I’d start a petition to get him fired. I’m cool like that.
And I thought the chicken diapers I just saw was the pinnacle of usefulness.
No! I saw a pattern for knitted sweaters for hens online the other day. I think that might be the pinnacle, live chickens wearing sweaters. How fowl! http://urbandebris.typepad.com/urban_debris_journal/2009/05/chicken-sweaters-or-some-really-fowl-crafting.html
As the immortal Emo Philips said,
“We have a winner!”
Have I ever mentioned that sometimes the internet scares me? Oh, I know they’re out there, but in the old days they always seemed to live somewhere else. Now? BANG! Right on my desktop.
Ok, come on. Really? REALLY? This can’t be true. I’m a Beanzawave denier.
It’s true, Beth. Be glad you work from home…be very glad.
Emo also said “There are a lot of weirdos out there”! I’m sure he was referring to the bean eating Mac user pictured above.
I bet that after he eats his bean lunch, he becomes a real Gabby McYapperton. (Rachel Maddow quote that I’ve been dying to use somewhere.) He would boast about the power of his USB ports to Miss Slyboots. Miss Slyboots doesn’t know what to say, but is keen on blank stares. She is thinking “holy fucking crap it’s only one fucking thirty”!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful discovery Wendy.
Another of your comments that really made me laugh out loud. Like I said earlier, either you’re hilarious or I’m crazy from the heat.
Why must it be one or the other Wendy? I see no reason it can’t be both.
Okay, and that made me laugh out loud too.
