   OOo, such a cool way to transport your watermelon…how convenient. What a great idea–I gotta get one of those.
   Do you think it has a digital temp control?

   Aparently, the Japanese have a somewhat popular pastime called Chindogu! which is the art of creating cheesy, unecessary, unwanted inventions.

   These are sometimes referred to as “Unuseless”, and include such things as slippers which double as dust mops, a hat that uses several disposable cameras to take 360 degree snapshots as the wearer walks down the street, and a plastic shield to keeps one’s hair out of one’s noodle bowl.

      And don’t forget Hello Kitty, the Queen of memes.

   I was deliberately spammed by a cousin who tagged me on some fusion of Star Trek and something called Nyan Cat. Apparently, that thing (the cat) is giving the Kitty a run for her memehood.

   I, of course, had to severely tone back the invective.

      Jim: Kitty befuddles me without end. I actually did comment on her once before: https://restore-test.dangerousintersection.org/2008/10/09/hello-sarah-hello-kitty/

   For comparison, you can buy $1,000 baby strollers that treat your child even better than you would treat a watermelon. http://newmommyreviews.blogspot.com/2010/08/10-awesome-luxury-baby-strollers.html or here:

   Better yet, parents striving for luxury might consider putting their young children in fancy watermelon transport machines, rather than pricey strollers, to save some money.
