I wish it were this easy in school. Honestly, if it were presented as a Simpsons Alphabet instead of the normal, boring A-Z more kids in first grade on up would understand their letters.
All teachers out there, listen up. Use this as the “NEW” Simpsonian Alphabet. You’ve heard of the King James Bible? Consider this the King Homer Alphabet.
In the words of Apu Nahasapeemapetilan:
“Thank you. Come again.”
Not for the squemish and certainly not for the non-bug lover, there is a new candy assortment in town and Valentines Day ready it isn’t. What I’m talking about is this . . .
Chocolate Roaches. That’s right, you read that wrong. It’s not entirely what you think, trust me. Rather it’s of the pure chocolate variety and not the typical image that comes to mind. Yes, an insect dipped into a chocolate substance much like an Ice Cream shop dips the swirled confection into a vat of chocolate. Chocolate Roaches are pure 100-percent chocolate in the shape of a roach.
They come in two varieties; male and female. According to the site, the male has an almond imbedded in it’s core (for that authetic crunch) and the female is just solid chocolate. These are chocolate replicas of the Palmetto bug - the unoffical state bird of South Carolina.
It’s weird, original and somewhat disgusting (depending on who you are). I’m going to put an order for the Mini 6-pack (3 males : 3 females) and review them for their taste, consistency and authetic crunchness.
Roaches. Mmm-mmm-good.

I’ve stumbled upon something extraordinarily unique. The creation of something that mixes ingredients of interactivity and shopping. I’m male, so usually the thought of shopping resorts to a frequent trip to 7-Eleven. You would never see me jumping for joy at a clothing store. Why? It’s due to the fact that males are shopophobic. That’s right, you heard me right — the fear of shopping.
It’s insane. Yet, it rings true to the fact that we can rely on females to take care of this unwanted neccessity. At least in certain cases, not all. I happen to like Sam’s Club and Walmart. Simple layout of the store. You go in and you come out with what you wanted. There are no carpeted sections with posters hanging from the ceiling depicting Hollywood-esque models with the latest in clothing.
Nope. Just a warehouse with stuff and not to mention the freebies of food samples and the occassional water sample.
However, when it comes to being online and dressing up as someone else — this is essentially where I can pretend I like shopping when in reality — I don’t. There.com is an online realm of stuff. That sounds bland but it truly is a blank template wherein you provide the content. People gather around and chat, drive buggies and hoverboards and shop for the latest in mens and womens clothing and styles. You can participate in contests and you might win some money.
I’m a beta tester for this unique online world and it’s been an interesting trip. I’ve met a few good people and others that are too busy honing their hoverboard skills. It’s weird - to combine all these different elements with avatars (a person who represents you) and watch it unfold before your very eyes.
It’s just There and to tell you the truth, I like to be There.
