I've got to get this off my chest.

Oct 11, 2004 06:01

As I wake up to shower and begin my weekly activities at the unexplainable and ungodly hour of 6 in the morning, I find it necessary to admit something.

About 2 and a half hours ago, at roughly 3:30 AM, I nearly called and ordred a 25 piece knife set from Ronco, which is run by Ron Popeil, the worst human being ever.



"Hi, I'm Ron Popeil, and I completely agree with everything Jim Volpe says about me. I'm a huge deuche."

Of course I have no...need for a 25 piece knife set, but you get a lot of really cool looking shit for less than $1.50 per knife! I was ready to actually dial the number, and I'm fairly sure I would have if there was a phone close eto my bed. I think I just wanted to see if the solid flavor injector was for real.

That's right. For those of you who havn't seen this, it defies more of God's wishes than the Frankenstein monster. It injects solid things into whatever meat you feel like cooking. I personally find it to be one of the most disgusting thing ever.

I also think it's funny how they demonstrate the sharpness of their knives by cutting hammers.

That's great. At least I know I can finally server hammer filets to my family this Christmas. No more turkey, folks, my knife cuts hammers! There's also the classic demonstration of cutting through a boot. Just so everyone knows, soldiers carried Ronco's knives in Vietnam. When they were cornered in a tough spot by the yellow man, they just cut right out of those boots and they were safe and sound.

I think the whole reason I wrote this was to make sure I never forget that for a few moments, I was seriously considering actually buying something from Ron Popeil. Sure, it may just have been a fleeting thought that crossed my mind, and maybe lots of people have considered it (not to mention the lot of idiots I'm sure who have given in), but it was just such a funny instance that I had to write about it.
