Blog Guy, you’ve been very good about helping us find solutions to those tough household chores in the past, and I have some more questions.
Gosh, all I ever really do is point you in the direction of expensive Williams-Sonoma gadgets.
I like to serve shrimp in the summer, but I find they lack color. People want shrimp that are a nice, healthy pink.
That’s an easy one. Get yourself the Williams-Sonoma Shellmaster 3000, to paint a healthy glow onto shrimp, lobsters, oysters, all kinds of shellfish, as you can see on the right. It comes with a gallon of pink paint, just $399.95.
Is that paint safe to eat?
I guess so, it’s only lead.
My other problem is caribou. I never can seem to smoke it properly.
You’ll want the Williams-Sonoma Caraboutique Royale, for perfect smoking every time. Just $13,999,999.95.
Huh? It only smokes caribou and it costs $14 million?
Yeah, it comes with an actual royal couple. That’s what makes it a Royale.
Yikes! After news like that, I need a drink. I wish I could make frozen margaritas.
Make perfect ones every time, with Williams-Sonoma’s Premium Margaritaville Trio Frozen Concoction Maker, only $499.95.
Okay, fun is fun, Blog Guy. I played along with the Cariboutique, but $499.95 for a drink mixer is a little hard to believe, don’t you think?
No, really! That one is actually true. I swear. The “suggested price” is $700. After all, it comes with Charlie Sheen.
What if I don’t want Charlie Sheen with my margaritas?
Fine. YOU try getting rid of him.

@69, didn’t your iPhone case come with a plastic shrimp?
I especially like the Hullabaloo Carribou – it’s a little like the old Maui Wowy!
People get weirder everyday…
Shrimps for iPhone cases..
What next, jackhammers for Charlie Sheen shows?
Wait, that could actually work..
Smoked caribou, margaritas, shrimp. Sounds like a party to me.
Hey, Shra! Why be normal?

Wait, what? They are smoking a “caribou skin”? Um, I’ve eaten some different stuff (never poutine ) but I’ve never heard of eating smoked skin of anything.
@E, what’s up with that?
Shra – Charge your Zapper. I sense a request for edumacation
Ok so the royal couple only costs 14 mill? Do we get half off if we only want Kate…er… the Duchess? All right people pony up! I know what we are getting fwd079 and skeres for Christmas!
@inebgreen – nope, no education requested. Just pure speculation.
Is it just me, or does Wills just not look that into caribou skin toting?
Say, doesnt Kate look a little worse for wear in the 1st pic?
Dave, I was assuming that smoking the skin was a “quick option for semi nomadic people” version of tanning…?
