Well, Paul, you asked! 
Sassy, I have two stapleless staplers and they're pretty neat, I had to be careful because people kept trying to snatch them.
I dunno that I'm a huge fan of kitchen gadgets, I separate eggs with my hand or a slotted spoon. I guess I just like different stuff. Function/utility is a plus, but I have to be able to justify the price I pay to myself (unless I'm in a mood!)
I hate using something and then finding it less somewhere else or regretting that I bought it at all. But I do love quality. And if I can have beauty, quality and a high value of utility? Oh, happiness! These days it seems you can find only one or two of those things at a time.
I do lean towards what some would call the macabre (nope, I am not nor have I ever been a 'goth') I collect gargoyles and I think twisted stuff like Happy Tree Friends is funny. I was disappointed when Happy Bunny started being sold everywhere. I dunno, some people think I'm a bit off, but I can play normal pretty well.

Oooh, that's a list! I like my space putty, or whatever they're calling it now (the heat sensitive silly putty that changes colors that you can shatter.) I gave my sister's beau a ninja remote and the little thing that you can hide just about everywhere that makes random noises at different mHz.
H and his friends pouted because they wanted one of each, but I was pretty sure, if given to them, the devices would be used against me!
Let me double check all of the stuff I've bought to see what came from where. (I always try to buy the hardly ever seen before stuff that doesn't end up becoming the next tacky gag gift, though I did once send my Sister-in-law soap colored and shaped like poop; she annoys me so that didn't count!)

Andddddd.... I still don't know.
Although consensus seems to be "over easy" I believe that many PA folks consider "dippy" eggs to be either exclusively sunny-side up or any egg with runny yolk. |

|

Having moved here from Arkansas two years ago I have been able to easily identify a few local PAisms...
"I left him go." (Meaning: "I LET him go.")
"I took notice..." (Meaning: "I noticed...")
"Youins" (Meaning: "You all")

| Yes, I've heard Pennsyltucky (but honestly, I don't think it's THAT bad for the most part). |

That's exactly what it is.  |

one day, sir coppy, you'll catch yourself ordering dippy eggs and will be shocked at yourself! lol
you should do a new experiment....go to all the places that make breakfast in the area. order dippy eggs. see what they give you and record the statistics. see what the "average" is for the area for dippy eggs.
comme scientifique! |
