Word of the Day: Sanctimonious
Sanctimonious – making a show of being morally superior to other people.
Example. Some people have the opinion that private school alumni are cocky, even sanctimonious. Personally, I think not.
Darth Tater
I need to add this to our Mr. Potato Head collection. Darth Tater! What a hoot.
Hey look! There’s a set that has Darth Tater along with Artoo-Potatoo and Spud Trooper. Releases August 2006.

Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA 2006)
The IDEA winners for 2006 have been posted. Dedicated to “fostering business and public understanding of the importance of industrial design excellence to the quality of life and the economy,” the winning products are pretty neat. Some are based on new concepts while others are improvements on old themes.
Look at the Cupsicle, a spill-proof cup for kids, the Solo music system which accommodates iPods, and the Grommet USB hub, a USB hub that fits in grommet holes in desks. There are a number of office chairs like the Liberty and THINK. And don’t forget about the Nutty Buddy.
Digital Underground Potato Head
Remember that rap group, Digital Underground, from the 90’s? Their hit, The Humpty Dance, rocked the airwaves for some time and as a homage to lead rapper Shock G, aka Humpty Hump, I give you Potato Hump.

Paris Hilton Sings?!
Heard Paris Hilton’s new single, Stars Are Blind, on the radio today. An entertaining song with a tropical/reggae feel to it. No lyrical genius or anything like that but still fun for $1.
Craziness?!
What kind of craziness is this?!
Installing Windows on a Mac using the Parallels Desktop for Mac. Now that’s just wrong!

Word of the Day: Antediluvian
Antediluvian – of or belonging to the time before the biblical Flood. Outdated, outmoded, old-fashioned, antiquated, behind the times.
Example. Wayne’s World marveled at the local companies offering free WiFi access. “How very progressive,” he thought, “not antediluvian at all.”
Word of the Day: Supplication
Supplication – a prayer asking God’s help as part of a religious service. A humble request for help from someone in authority.
Example. Rather than relying on his sangfroid during his annual evaluation review, the Tabasco Man took the route of supplication with his manager.
Pictured the Tabasco Man supplicating.
Crazy for Potato Heads!
While in the Armpit of Cali, I was reintroduced to the fun of Mr. Potato Head. Since then, I’ve been having some fun building spuds. We even picked up a bucket of Potato Head parts as a starter kit.
Fun!

Word of the Day: Genuflect
Genuflect – lower one’s body briefly by bending one knee to the ground, typically in worship or as a sign of respect.
Example: After hearing of Takeru Kobayashi’s sixth straight victory at the International Hot Dog Eating Contest, the Tabasco Man genuflected and became motivated to participate in our own Eating Contest.
