Hi, There!

     I went into work around midnight, Sunday/Monday and worked right through until 11:30 a.m.  Came home, went out for Indian buffet (yum!) returned, sat at my desk and fell almost asleep sitting there.  Eventually got to bed and other than a short bit of wakefulness about midnight, that was it. My head is just about as empty as a big old empty thing.

     However, driving past Hedlund's Hardware, their big billboard atop the building, which has movie-marquee style changeable text is touting a new product: "BEDBUG KILLER POCKET KNIVES."  Tamara took a photograph, which I hope to post here.
     Man, I have got to get me one of those!  Never fear sleeping in a strange hotel room again, you would.

I never want to deal with bedbugs big enough to be killed with pocket knives...

What caliber for giant bedbugs?

Old NFO said...

+1 on Rick! Having been bitten by bedbugs in a Marriott, I have shivers thinking about that...

A fisherman that fits in your pocket? With or without rod and tackle? And does he catch anything bigger than minnows?

Jeffery, just in case you're serious Popeil's Pocket Fisherman

I had no idea they were still available: http://www.amazon.com/Pocket-Fisherman-Spin-Casting-Outfit/dp/B000HDKOHY

Don't bring a bed bug knife to a bed bug gun fight?

What I'm wondering is whether there's a pocket knife that wouldn't kill a bedbug. It reminds me of the old mail-order "Guaranteed 100% Effective" insect killing system, which turned out to be two bricks with instructions. Place the insect on one brick, and then hit it with the other brick until it is dead.

Finally, a pocket knife to go with my .9 mm pistol!!! Bwahahahaha

I think they are two separate products.
I believe that it would be inefficient to kill bedbugs with a knife.

Drove by this on the way home tonight with my wife. She looked up at the sign and yelled out "Bed Bug Killer Pocket Knives! - Those are some damn big bed bugs or some tiny pocket knives". I laughed and told her this was the meme of the week.
