Pointy elf ears are pointy

Seriously people. If you need to draw elf ears that extend past the head and could function as daggers in close combat, maybe you're leaning a tad too hard on a single elfen trait. An elf is more than his ears, you know. Give him his dignity.

Now on to a totally unrelated topic--

I can't remember if I've ever mentioned wanting this product before, maybe in a past entry, but I do. Yeah I have an exercise ball and I can even sit on it without carooming off the walls or smashing my head against sharp corners. And all that after only 6 months of ball ownership. One day I'll be able to actually work out with it, but I wouldn't want to rush things at this stage. Technically then I don't need The Bean because isn't a ball similar? Probably the ball is better because you use more muscles keeping your balance than you would with something that keeps you stable. The Bean has really nothing special to offer me in way of fitness goals. It does, however, have other attractions.

I would like all of you to now click on the little video clip on The Bean's main page. Never mind the spiel. If that bothers you, turn off the sound and watch. You'll note that the principle position shown is that of an especially buff man or woman rocking back and forth on his/her back. A kind of sit up. When I first saw this, on TV, the very first thing that crossed my mind wasn't 'wow, I could really get into situps if I didn't have to lay on the floor' or 'neat! Now exercise will be easier than cutting toenails!' My thought immediately upon seeing those Speedo-clad washboard-ab'd men thrusting up and down was 'If I was on top, I could help him 'exercise' but they'd never accept the video as customer testimony in future ads.' I learned that The Bean has a weight capacity of 600 lbs. Plenty of wiggle room to allow for sudden downward thrusts. It's also plastic and therefore washable. Plus it's only 2 easy payments of 24.95. But wait! There's more! Act now and they'll throw in the all-new Bean Vibrating Pad and Heating Gel, worth $6,000 in popular retail outlets--now yours FREE! Call now! Operators are standing by! Ask about are Bean There Done That special!

Best thing of all though? It doesn't LOOK like what I want it for. I can leave this thing in the living room in front of company and no one would be the wiser unless they came upon us while working out on it. That would be embarrassing, but would likely result in a sudden spike in sales for the company. ;)
