    That said, I am so loving the iron griddle.

  3. Jon Lambert says:

    I’ve seen at least four of these pictures on the Cheezburger network already…

  4. Jill (not Jillian) says:

    Using the levelers to hold up the kitchen cabinets is priceless! And the slide…..what kind of parents would encourage their kids to use this? These had me in tears!

  5. Jenna says:

    Hahaha. My boyfriend once made me semi-homemade roller skates too, using a pair of old ski boots and old casters from a kitchen chair. They worked, until I tried to turn! I wouldn’t recommend it.

  6. Dawn says:

    Homemade CONDOMS?! Do I even want to know?!!?!

  7. Gregory says:

    What’s the point of the fan blowing over the cups of ice water? Someone actually thought that might do something to cool the room off?

    • Ray says:

      Oddly, I’ve heard of this before. Won’t cool off a room, obviously, but I guess the claim is that if you sit in front of it, it will cool you off. Never tried it. Don’t plan to. Though, with the AC broken, again, in my office, the temptation is there.

    • It’s actually based on an industrial technique for mass chilling.

      The Thompson Building in Chicago is cooled in this manner, but obviously on a grander scale.

        I lived in Arizona for a while and evaporative coolers are widely used there — it’s basically a whole-house fan that blows air over water-soaked pads. Works really well in a dry climate. So that idea might not be so bad…if you took the air temperature immediately above the cups of ice water, I’m sure it would be significantly lower than a hot summer day’s temperature. No, it would not cool a room, but I bet it would be nice sitting in front of it.

    The picture of the iron was probably taken in Philly. It looks like they’re frying,or maybe getting the wrinkles out of, Taylor pork roll.

  9. Ferd Berfle says:

    That hot tub looks like something I’d expect to see in my neck of the woods.

  10. Lee says:

    I chuckled at the kitchen cabinets one

  11. Fat_Irish_Redneck_Mama says:

    You mean y’all waren’t really from “House Beautiful” magazine? When err y’all gonna publish my interview?

  12. Cut LaRoy says:

    Content like this deserves money.

  13. James says:

    I like how there’s a question mark on “But 10…Get 1…Free?”

    Only if you’re lucky I guess.

  14. MsFoodie says:

    Just wow. These are so ridiculous I can’t help but laugh. LOL

  15. Amber K says:

    I don’t know, I’d be tempted to bring that “toilet” camping if I were to ever camp in the middle of the woods. Beats squating!

  16. Amy says:

    Wow, just seeing that water slide gives me anxiety.
