American Inventor

Tonight I watched this new show on TV called American Inventor. I know, I know, more reality TV. Cher made me watch it I swear. She said "It's great". Okay, so I give it a try. I don't think that I have ever laughed harder at people trying to be serious. So lets talk about these great "inventions" that people have come up with.

First off was a Fart Pad. No joke. It's charcoal activated. The great inventor who created this masterpiece referred to it as a flatulence something or other. The point of this device was to eliminate the smell of the flatulence. Seriously man, it's a fart. And it's not the smell you worry about it's the noise you make when you let one out. Who wants to wear a pad in their pants to make your farts not smell, now if it was a sound blocker....that's another story.

Next we had "Bullet ball". A new revolutionary game derived from batting a cat ball across the dining room table. It's the next big thing. Or not. This guy made a round table with an "arm" on each side. You sort of played ping pong across it but with your arms and shoulders. Weird. The guy sold his house, his car and spent his life savings developing this. He hoped that bullet ball would make him a millionaire. I hate to tell him, it's going to make him poor...oh wait. It already did.

Anyways, I haven't really figured out the point of the show. Some inventions made it to "the next round"...sound thrilling.

Besides watching that, not much going on around here. Looking to do some home repairs but not sure what to do or where to start. Cher has her calculator out nightly punching in numbers and nodding her head in approval. I'm not really sure what she is figuring out but it seems important.
