So I saw this article on CNN and apparently mantyhose are at an all time high in sales.

What the heck are mantyhose? As the name (and the title of my post here) implies – they are pantyhose for men. Take a look at this photo below to see what I mean:

Personally, I find the concept of men wearing pantyhose, well, pretty down right creepy. Unless you’re a cross dresser – if you’re a cross dresser and you get your jollies from wearing them, then by all means I am not one to say you can’t wear pantyhose. Same goes if you’re wearing them for a medical reason, since they can help with swelling & circulation…(and I wouldn’t laugh at you if you were wearing them because your doctor made you…)

But if you’re looking to wear them for “warmth and support” or “added comfort” as CNN implied, are you crazy?

As a girl, I’ve unfortunately had to wear my fair share of pantyhose in my lifetime. Let me tell you, pantyhose are not comfortable. They are sticky. They are itchy. They are either “bunchy”…(as in they ride up your butt) or saggy (as in they are collecting around your ankles) and the damn things snag so much that sometimes you can ruin them just trying to put them on, which can sometimes be an Olympic feat all in it’s own just trying to get them on. (Especially if you just got out of the shower for some reason and your legs aren’t 100% dried off)

So while I’m not one to say men should or shouldn’t wear pantyhose, comfortable they certainly are not. And why call them mantyhose? The name itself seems a little degrading. Isn’t there another word for something you wear under your clothes? Yes, I think it’s called LONG UNDERWEAR.

Tell me guys, what do you think of this mantyhose phenomenon? Are you up for wearing them? Ladies, do you think wearing pantyhose is comfortable? How would you feel if your man was wearing these? (I would be laughing at mine!)

I wonder if this was included in the book 500 Things To Do With Pantyhose?

Today I kind of had a different post planned out, but most of my entire schedule was nicely disrupted by AAA, a travel company that basically gives you free towing or will help you if you ever lock your keys in the car. The membership is not cheap, but I’ve used them several times a year every year (I have bad luck with things like potholes and flat tires) so it seems like I have to have them, even if I probably don’t.

Anyways, last week my husband and I bought a truck. Generally, when you buy a car or a truck it’s pretty cut and dry – you sign this, sign that, they hand you a license plate and a sticker.

Today, after fighting with the lady at AAA (who actually was the nicest person I’ve ever met in AAA in the history of my 12 year membership with them), we walked out of there 2 HOURS LATER and still no registration or license plate for our truck.

What took us 2 hours to fight about? My drivers license was the first. When I got married, they didn’t make me get a new license, they just handed me a card with my new last name and said “here you go”. Well to AAA, this was UNACCEPTABLE. Now why would anyone else in the world and the DMV be cool with it but not this lady?

Moving past that, the rest of our time spent there was over the weight of our truck. I called the main DMV office to find out if I needed to have the truck weighed in order to get our registration. They said no, that was the most ridiculous thing they ever heard of. I also asked our inspection mechanic (who had to verify the VIN number) and he also said that nobody weighs trucks. I spoke to the company that made our truck and they happily gave us all the weight info & verified it. AAA would not accept that.

I finally did get somebody to fill out this ridiculous form AAA wanted filled out, but will have to go there tomorrow (and with my two wonderful children who i hope destroy the place while we’re there!) to actually get the license plate.

My husband has dubbed them “Triple Rape”…

Why should is it so difficult to GIVE SOMEBODY MONEY AND YOUR BUSINESS?

We saw this sign the other day while traveling warning everyone to stay out of the pond:

There’s only one thing: there is no pond anywhere. Not even water fountains The sign is in a field of grass.

Maybe they just wanted to have a sign that they knew everybody would listen to, since if there is no pond, it’s pretty easy to stay out of it

Hi Everybody! With only a few weeks until the football season, we’ve decided to start our very own “Best of Stupid” fantasy football league!

You can join it here. It is free to join and use

The only requirements of joining are you have to play every week – no giving up halfway through the season!!

There’s only 12 players per league, so hurry if you want to join – I have no control of who gets in and who doesn’t!! Live Draft is August 25th at 10:00 pm EST, though you can always have the computer pick for you based on your choices if you can’t make it then.

While I typically write about the nuiances of stupidity, I was thinking about dum dums today (you could probably say that in of itself is pretty stupid…with all that is going on in the world, and I’m thinking about dum dums…) Maybe I need to find something else to occupy my time, like the Cult TV Series?

If you aren’t fully familiar with dum dums, this is what they look like:

Basically, just a tasty lollipop, though I haven’t eaten one in years. I always liked the mystery ones when I was a kid.

I thought I’d check out their website – did you know if you collect 20 dum dum wrappers you can get free/cheap stuff from them? I didn’t! You can see what I mean here.

They always hand them to my son anytime we go to the bank or other small store, since I guess where I live its standard procedure to give kids lollipops so they stay out of trouble.

Do you like dum dums? Have any thoughts on them? Do your banks and stores give them to kids for free?

Below is a picture of the warning lights you typically see at railroad crossings:

Being that it is in front of a building and in the middle of a parking lot, I think it’s pretty safe to say there will be no trains coming. I wonder how you get one of these?

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about finding stupid things for sale on ebay…It’s just been insanely busy the past week or so, and hey, it takes TIME to find that perfect, useless, best of stupid ebay auction.

I had a lot of choices this week, between burnt toast, smelly old sneakers, a lady offering to email you for $1.50…

But decided amongst everything for sale on ebay this week, this by far wins the best of stupid award:

DEHYDRATED WATER

The directions are pretty simple: Empty contents of can into one gallon of water, stir until dissolved. Chill and serve.

The iPhones are nice…but well, they are just hard to use for some people, since the buttons are pretty small. If you have big fingers, it can be pretty tricky to hit the right buttons when you want to.

Fortunately, Halim-Belajar SEO shared with me this perfect solution for helping make your iPhone experience more enjoyable:

Why change the design of the iPhone when people everywhere can simply change the shape of their thumbs?

Thanks for sharing this with us Halim!

Yesterday I spent about a half an hour on hold on the phone.

You know how anytime you call someplace they say “This call will be monitored and recorded?”

What would they do if YOU told them you were monitoring and recording the call?

“I just wanted to let you know this call will be monitored and recorded for training purposes. See, we have kids and no doubt someday you’ll screw them over and we want to have this documented so we can teach them how to fight with you over the phone.”

My second pet peeve about waiting on hold on the phone is the automated menus. It wastes an awful lot of time.

Is there really any need for them to say “Please listen carefully as we recently changed our menu options”?

Do people really memorize their menu options? Do you really have a need to call any company so much that you’re storing useless information in your head like “Press 1 Before They Tell You What it is! Press 1! Quick! Before she tells you who Option 1 is for!” ?

What do you think about these kind of calls?

Stealing stuff is stupid, but stealing pillows and leaving a trail of it to where you are sleeping on the stolen pillows is really stupid.

Apparently this guy and his friend broke into a department store, loaded up on things like pillows and hammocks, and then decided to just lay down and take a nap when (no surprise!) the police caught them.

You can read the full news story here. Looks pretty comfy, don’t you think?

We drove past this gas station with some awfully expensive Powerade Drinks the other day.

$250 is a big difference from $2.50. You’d think they would have noticed this and maybe changed what the sign said. But I guess it’s “close enough” for them.

Everybody loves money, don’t they? How would you like $100 cold hard cash…and get it for only $2?

Well, naturally, it’s too good to be true. Here’s what you would really get with this stupid ebay auction:

shredded money

Somehow rejected dollar bills shredded to into a million pieces just doesn’t equate to $100 cash to me. It’s not like you can spend it or anything.

What would you do if someone gave this to you as a gift? Would you give it to somebody as a practical joke?

Well, I’ve finally finished upgrading to WordPress 2.6. It was kind of tricky, as it seems all of my plug-ins didn’t like the change and kept giving me errors saying “cannot redeclare snoopy”…I never heard of an error like that before!

Also today I’ve got a picture submitted to us by Dimaks of Ctrl + Alt + Delete:

It is a name tag from a waitress they had at a Japanese pizza shop. You can read the full story about it here.

Thanks so much Dimaks for the picture! If you have something funny or stupid you’d like to share that is your own picture, feel free to send it to me at chelle165 [at] gmail [dot] com.

Saw this remote here and it made me wonder…

Is it really so hard to keep track of a remote that you have to resort to duct taping it to the TV? Just goes to show there’s nothing you can’t do with duct tape, eh?
