Vine Marches On

Yes, that's really my late Mom and my (better looking) twin brother.

Mother's Day has come and gone, and many of you are probably still reeling from the dirty looks Mom gave you after receiving only a Hallmark card and a drugstore gift. This was the woman who carried you for nine months! This was the woman who was willing to have sex with your father in hopes of someday having a thoughtful child. But she got you.

So if you failed to score points with Mom this year, I'm here to help you with a variety of memorable (trust me on this) gift items you can start looking at for next year!

As I've mentioned here previously, I'm a member of Amazon Vine. That's a program in which you can choose items to receive free in return for posting an honest review of the product. Sweet, right? Of course, not all the Vine offerings are winners. So here, once again, I'm presenting the latest crop of items that caught my eye (or caught in my throat)...

I wasn't previously aware of neurofibromatosis. However, if I were a hypochondriac, I'm sure I would have it! As for those pink rugs, who's got floor space shaped like that??

Funnily enough, there's a chap in Canada who DOES collect used tyres (Ain't I CONTINENTAL?)...

Actually, the fake ice cream cone might be worth a few laughs.

You got me excited with your mention of Vine but, alas, it was not the video sharing service that old Twitter bought and killed. There were some truly brilliant 7 or 8 second videos made along with a lot of crap. My small town has a used tire place that's been around longer than I've lived here and the word is that Dean is retiring. I suspect the business will go kaput following his retirement. I just can't imagine today's Tik Tok-addicted youth wanting to make a living selling used tires.

'Retreads' used to be common and I've bought some myself but about the only people that buy them now are trucking companies so they can explode at highway speeds and maybe take out a few small cars in the process. Funny how the one vehickle that shouldn't be running on used tires is the only one that does.

One of the biggest conceits of socialism is that we're all the same. We are not.

I'm thinking of how grand of a prank could be had by sneaking into a tire shop and placing those stickers on all the tires.

Hi Stilton! I am also on CWSA. I am happy that you're still working and playing and whatever all that you do is.

Wow. I'm older than the Pope.

I can see topping the fake ice cream cone with the Durian flavored squishy stress ball and riding in a crowded elevator with it. Maybe add a few sprinkles. What fun that would be.

Open Question: Does anyone here know what's been going on last several days, week or more with Diogenes' Middle Finger blog and Diogenes Sarcastica? It doesn't look good and I hope is not long term. Maybe a needed break?

She just decided to shut it down. Apparently, she'll post on X.
