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...

    +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.

    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.
