It's that time again, kids! And it almost snuck up on me AGAIN. One of these weeks I'm going to be blithely looking through my reader, thinking, "Why does everybody have these old RTT posts up?", and then going, oooohhhhhhhhh.
(I'm thinking that will be some time in June. Does that work for you guys?)
Let us begin!
This morning I thought I should start my week out right by scaring the crap out of someone, so I sent this link to Steenky Bee. You know how everyone keeps sending me zombie stuff? Yeah, that's what I did there. If you're afraid of the impending robot attack too, I wouldn't click on it. It's like HAL and that girl from The Ring got together and had a kid. And then stuffed it into a Chuckie doll.
Anyway, she retaliated by telling me about how the Japanese (Honda, to be specific) have invented a device that you attach to your head and it reads your thoughts. And then bosses a human-shaped robot into doing what you thought about. So you can like, close the trunk of your car with YOUR MIND.
Is this really necessary?
I mean, how long until someone (*cough*therobot*cough*) hacks the technology and uses it to control your mind?
...I'm sorry, I had something else important to say, but I have this overwhelming urge to go and buy a Civic.
I wonder what ever happened to that atom smasher they built under Switzerland? You know, the one they were trying to use to recreate the Big Bang that had the potential to suck us all into a black hole instead? A bunch of nuclear physicists stated their concerns and then we never heard any more about it. I mean, I think we'd notice if we were suddenly BAMF'D into an alternate dimension.
Or maybe not. Maybe there are some alien beings in our old galaxy wondering, "Hey, what happened to that nice little blue planet? You know, the one full of apes with cell phones?".
Chocolate you huff. Can it be that good?
They should invent alcohol you huff, too.
Oh, wait...Lysol.
Why aren't the inventors of huffable chocolate, mind control devices, and Snuggies all working on a cure for cancer?
Do they not have the space? I'm planning to clean out my garage, they can come here. Seriously. I have wine, and some Oreos.
That bag I posted about yesterday? It was this one. I was sad I didn't win it, too, but uh - I'm pretty sure it's not very "me". Or something. If I chant that long enough I could almost believe it.
Oh well, next fashion show.
(I love how the site suggests I pair it with a $300 wedge sandal and a $1600 satchel. Oooh, yes, why don't I pick up TWO? You know, for emergencies).
And this week there is no segue. How random. So! You know what to do! Or, if you're new here, in brief: grab the button. Put it on your random-style post. Leave your deets with Mr. Linky. And then visit some of your fellow bloggers for a peek inside their brain!
Um, well their thoughts. Not their brain. That might be icky.
And always, don't forget to go visit co-host Kelly at Baby Boogers and leave your link too! Happy Tuesday!

That bag was quite yellow. It actually yelled 'yellow!' when I clicked the link. Not me either.
I recently found lots of fun 'cheap' bargains in Bazaar. Like the $200 hairdryer. Oh yes I want one of those!
Huffable chocolate, I don't now that could be good. Never can tell till you try it.
And I actually didn't want to be first to link again this week. Weird. If I didn't do it now I'd forget though.
ha, a $600 bag? I could make you 20 very unique "custom couture" bags for that price. Every color of the rainbow.
Why is it ok to pay that much money for a purse? Beyond me.
Happy Tuesday, thanks for adding another reason for me to lie awake at night. That robot is cute but I can tell he's evil and would kill me in my sleep.
I wasn't aware you could huff Lysol but that sounds like the most sterile drug use environment, I don't think I'd condemn someone for using it since I'm such a germ freak.
Wow... whats next.. vibrators that can find the g-spot just by thinking about it?? Sign me up!
That bag was really bright. It almost blinded me
mmmmmm chocolate
I just want my robot maid like in the Jetsons. I willing to risk the whole mind control thing if it would clean my house.
This was a particular good example of randomness this week - I like it.
That place in Switzerland is still going strong. Fermilab in Batavia, IL was the atom smasher for the US and it closed because there was no need for it any more.
The stuff I learn just by reading the morning paper!
I loved the bag! I'm sure they'll be plenty of knock-offs soon so don't you worry. Sleep tight knowing that there are sweatshop workers all over the world creating that bag, affordably, just for you to buy out of some trunk in a dark alley somewhere!
I'm not on board with the huffable chocolate. That's just weird.
Dude, I'm seriously dying over here. The black plague is killing me. Can I come and live in your garage so you take care of me?
This is my first time playing.
Huffable chocolate, hmmm, could I still taste it?
I wasn't to worried about the atom smasher, if something bad happened, Switzerland would be the first to go and after that I am sure Bruce Willis would have come to save the day:)
a $1200 satchel? i'll never understand why people spend so much money on stuff like that!
"Apes with cell phones" is the funniest thing I read all day!
Bear says that the old men in the Snuggie commercials look like pedophiles that are trying to hide their evil in monk robes.
OK..I am officially creeped out by robots now. I wasn't before but now I am. Thanks for that.
And this is my first time being random with you (even though I posted it on Sunday). I've seen these posts around and I've always enjoyed them so I thought I would participate this week. And being random suits my scattered brain.
Love your blog by the way ... very cool design. I'm sure I'll see you again.
huffable chocolate?
hmm..I am down w/ that...
and while that bag was cute. yellow is a bit much..lol..and so is 1200 bucks..
and how lazy can we get as a society?? When we can exercise w/o moving, i'll get excited..lol..till then, i think I'll close my own trunk..lol.
Just wait. Before you know it, huffing chocolate while wearing your snuggie will be all the rage.
I'm sure Bono would save everyone from the robots. Because isn't that what he does? Save people? No? Huh.
Keely, didn't you hear that google has created a robot with artificial intelligence?
Link
It has taken over Google and is soon going to take over the world.
Your mind control robot sounds like the first step into a Wall*E world (yes, I do see a lot of children's movies. Why do you ask).
Those people on the chocolate video you linked to all look like they are doing drugs. I think I would just rather eat it.
I heard the syncotron (sp?) in Saskatoon was working on that whole atom smashing thing. It wasn't the most reliable source who told me that, so I just sort of ignored it and assumed it wasn't true.
Maybe a google wouldn't hurt....
Huffing chocolate? You can't fit a truffle through your nose! TRUST me.
There's lots of people (ifthatswhattheyare) running around with artificial intelligence trying to take over the world.. I hear there is a big concentration of them in Washington DC.
Huffable chocolate? Hmmm...I may have to try some of that out.
Robots don't scare me. I've watched irobot enough to know that at least one of them has a heart. And Will Smith will always be there to save the day!
I consider chocolate a whole body experience. You smell it, taste it, use it as a facial then wear it on your hips. Huffing it makes no sense after all that.
Have you ever felt like walking thru a really nice neighborhood, knocking on doors and saying "what EXACTLY is it that you DO?" Because somewhere my life went very wrong. While others are buying $600 purses, I'm looking at a $24.99 one at Target and then thinking, "Nope, too much" and buying a 7.99 t-shirt instead.
And what about Y2K? or the Conficker virus? None of the big worry things seem to happen! (I guess I should be glad about that, but it's kinda like, DUDE, what happened?)
That is by far the creepiest robot I've ever seen, way more disturbing than a zombie or people who dress their monkeys like babies. Don't ask me how I made that connection.
Really, huffing chocolate? Chocolate flavored air is supposed to sound enticing? I'm pretty sure the guy that invented those can suck the fun right out of any room.
I think that bag is way too yellow for me. Way. And for $600 I could buy something I really want, like a digital SLR. $600 for a purse? That's nuts.
Wow. I'm honestly stunned that people are more surprised by the huffing chocolate rather than our iminent demise by robots/zombies/mutants/or natural disasters. First things first people. There will be no huffing of the brown stuff when your being held hostage by a robot as the flesh eating zombies are trying to invade your bunker. Thanks for the linky love, my love! I'll be posting my ransoms once I get to work, er, somewhere I have a computer handy. I most certainly wouldn't blog at work.
I don't understand chocolate you inhale. If I don't get to eat it, what's the point?
I can answer the question about the Large Hadron Collider (that's the big thing they built under Switzerland that was supposed to melt the universe).
It went online to a big ballyhoo and then broke down. Something about a transistor that couldn't take the cold.
They don't have it back up yet. So the end of the universe will have to wait.
Hey I'm joing in for the first time! Loved your post!
didn't that atom smasher thing cost like billions of dollars? where do they get funding for that kind of thing?
I dream of being the Dr's companion on Dr. Who so I can check out all the alternate demensions and eat chocolate. Plus, I want to make out with David Tennant.
Oh goodness, I love a yellow bag. But I think if you were holding both that bag and the satchel, you might teeter and fall off of those wedge sandals. What are they thinking??? If you're carrying both of those bags, stick to your Birkenstocks.
Hee. I crack myself up.
You know it would be so much easier to let a robot do all the thinking for me.
Just sayin'.
heh heh
Huffing Chocolate? Awesome!
I finally posted again on Tuesday! I missed purging all the stuff from my head! : )
I also wonder isn't there something better people could be doing than inventing stupid things...but the Snuggie...I want one. Really, really baaaad!
I'm pretty sure the Japanese are already trying to take over our country with the Wii.
Did you know that Google is out for world domination? It's true.
They've even stated that their goal is to be able to have people type into their computer 'what should I do today?' and have Google know how to answer. Accurately.
Creepy.
shoot i did the hubby meme today I knew i was forgetting about some important mr linky sign up!
LOVE your RTT!!!
June works for me. And I'm too scared to click on the scary link.. terrified of HAL and that Ring girl gave me nightmares.
Beautiful bag, and yes.. I love how they "suggest" to pair it with another that's more. Because you can never carry.. more than ONE.
It's my first time here and I'm participating in this fun Random party! I have a few bloggy friends who join every week! I couldn't miss out on the fun any longer. LOL
I forgot all about the atom smasher... If it worked, and we're in a alternate dimension, can I take the day off work?
Those Harvard cats need to start engineering bottomless bags of corn chips and stop messing around with unneeded crap.Chocolate has gotten more than enough attention over the years.
worse than YOU forgetting RTT? me being surprised when a blogger i was guest posting for during her baby posted ... and it was actually MY post.
and robots? i'm just can't go there.
The particle collider broke and its taken them a year to fix it.
I love that bag.
What? Can't a man appreciate a nice hand bag?
What a great idea. I hope I do you good.
I had a random thought today and I didn't even realize it was random. or that it was Tuesday.
I don't see anything wrong with mind-control robots. And that bag is gorgeous. I love yellow.
Huffable chocolate- oh good, another aeddiciton I can counsel people on!
I was looking at a Coach wallet that retailed for 285..... and then I found reality again :) HA.
good post!
Crap! I forgot what I was going to say. It was brilliant I tell ya.
Oh yes. Wine and Oreos you say? Coming right over!
What blue planet were you refering to. I can only think of one plant with cell phones. And I would consider it murky smog ridden grey.
That robot is the creepiest thing I've seen today...or ever. ;)
I will gladly share the wine with you!
chocolate you huff? wine and oreos? this post has it all for the modern girl looking for a girl time!
(i am so grateful to own a mitsubishi)
Gol, I hope my car never starts reading my mind. I'll always be at the McD drive through insisting I'm NOT there for more fries and my mother-in-law will be flat in the street.
I have an expensive handbag problem. Everything else is moderately priced but I give good Coach. Kia will vouch for me.
Hey, I saw the Honda mind-reader thingy. It scares me. And huffing chocolate? I'm totally with you.
After a week with no sweets, I don't care how good the huffable chocolate is. I'm salivating at the thought of it, which is really, really sad.
Gosh, just $1600 for a companion satchel? Is that all?
The most I ever spent on any item of clothing was $1000 on a Dolce Gabbana tweed floor length coat. For the 1st year I owned the coat, I slept in it. It will forever be known as THE COAT.
Shopping...I am forbidden hehe...my wife keeps ALL credit and debit cards..Thank God or we'd be broke.
Isn't part of the fun of eating chocolate the part where it slightly melts on your fingers and how sometimes the inside surprises you by being fairly liquid-like and it drizzles down your chin and you have to decide on whether you want to savor the current bite in your mouth and save the drizzle for when your original pleasure from the bite is over or if you want to wipe it off immediately so as not to appear an effing mess when you eat....I will NOT be giving up that wonderment for the huffing type of chocolate.
My first random thoughts with you all!!
Thanks for stopping by.. I think I will be doing rambling thoughts for a while, lol.
Yes, I agree about the PLAYING outside. My kids MAYBE watch it for about um 15 mins or a lil more before bed, except my oldest who sometimes wants nothing to do with the rest of the world, lol
The robot thing is the creepiest thing EVER!!!
And I don't huff my chocolate I savor it :)
Yeah....what ever did happen with the atom smasher!!! It was huge news for like a week....than poof nothing. oooooo....freaky!!!
Keely I left you something on my blog
;-)
I've never been over here before, I love your blog!! I adore this weekly post idea- I am all about randomness on my posts! I added my link a little late.. hope that's ok!
