I bought this little device today from Radio Shack that lets me see through your pc into your room
I can't believe they even sell these things, what with all the privacy issues and such. Nifty little gadget for $19.99. But should probably be outlawed, eventually.

So, just a few notes about you people in the lounge and really DU'ers in general:

Many of you have nice clean places. And some have a real talent for home decor. A few of you are complete slobs and need to get off your butt or hire some help. One or two dwellings will likely be condemned soon.

Most of you seem to have plenty of healthy snacks around. But I'm seeing a lot of junk food. Lots. And some of it looks totally inedible. Yikes!

Can't believe how many of you still smoke cigs ... sheesh! But plenty of pot smokers too. The volume kind of surprised me, I must say. And some real strange pill bottles lying about. Hope you have a scrip for that.

Quite a few drinkers out there. Some of you hitting it pretty hard. No prob... thought so. Explains a lot of the posting here.

And don't get me going on those 'friends' that mill about. Who ARE those people? Note: Don't leave them unattended for long, huh?

Love some of those cute little pets that wander around. Except that one thing, which should totally be in a zoo or some secure facility. Bye the way, check behind the couch is all I'm sayin'.

But more than anything else, could you all please just put on a few clothes before you come in here and post. Aren't you worried about someone showing up unannounced? And really, try to suck that gut in a bit... there are people watching, don't you know. Yes, those shorts do make your butt look big. But only because you have a big butt. Oh, and please, please, please close this window out when you 'visit' that other 'site'.

Other than that, I've really enjoyed 'touring' some of your lovely homes and offices. And I hope we can continue to enjoy this strange and revealing relationship together.

Update: Oh crap, I just learned that they pulled these things from all the shelves only hours ago. Not available now. Hmmmm, guess I'll be one of the few who gets to keep mine. Oh well. You all would have loved this thing.

3. But this device punches a little pinhole through the tape.
Like I said, it's really nifty.

(And, ps, I may just need to borrow your username for a bit.... wink, wink)

11. Ha! I already know that. But thanks for telling the others.
That keeps you 'in the clear'. And I'm so sorry about the ceiling fan incident. PETA will not even be knocking at your door, nor posting you on their website.

13. Was it Radio Shack what said "there's a sucker born every minute." ??
I wonder how much he paid for the thing.

14. Yes, it was P.T. "Radio Shack" Barnum who said that.
You're on it man. Right on the money.

BTW, I saw how much you put down tonight. You can handle your stuff, I must say. Kudos.

23. Thank you.
And as for you, I've decided to avert my eyes because I respect you so much. So, sorry... no dope on La Lioness. Maybe another time.
