... but if you were going to spend 5 million dollars on diamonds (1500 carats worth of diamonds and rubies), wouldn't you actually want somebody to see them without your having to walk around undressed to do so?

As opposed to the 2008 Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra in the Victoria's Secret catalogue.

I think I will continue to wear my precious gems on my fingers as G-d and nature intended.

I have, of course, been going around in complete zombie mode all day since I stayed up to the bitter end of the Red Sox game last night. Well, it wasn't all that bitter an end, since the Angels couldn't manage the suicide squeeze. Seeing a professional ball player miss a bunt is definitely odd.

I get a few nights to recuperate before the next round of post-season sleep deprivation.

In other sports related news, I got an advertising circular in the mail today from Papa John's trumpeting their "2008 Redskins Limited Edition Box." You get a large pizza with up to 5 toppings for $15 and this special commemorative box. Now, admittedly I can't remember the last time I've ordered a pizza at home, but don't pizza boxes get a bit greasy and grubby inside? Maybe it's just because I have no interest at all in football, but I can't quite see this as a collector's item.

There was an article in the Washington Post today about bottled water. It included the following:

"Desalinated seawater from Hawaii, meanwhile, is being sold as "concentrated water" -- at $33.50 for a two-ounce bottle. Like any concentrated beverage, it is supposed to be diluted before drinking, except that in this case, that means adding water to . . . water."

Real life is getting increasingly like MAD Magazine, which once had an advertisement for dehydrated H2O.

A hands-free umbrella sounds like a good idea. Until you realize it comes with a harness and there's a 5-step process to unfolding it.

Personally, I want lackeys to accompany me, holding giant umbrellas over me.

I finally got around to clipping coupons and throwing out the remaining ad inserts. So I just saw the ad for Kraft's new product, Bagel-fuls. This is in the frozen food aisle and they are advertising it as "toasty warm bagel and creamy Philadelphia cream cheese all in one!"

Because, you know, it is just too hard to toast a bagel and shmear cream cheese on it yourself.
