It’s safe to say, without fear of exaggeration, that everybody on Earth intensely covets the Saitek GH30 Vibration
Gaming Headset for its immersive sonic experience, including realistic
in-game vibrations. Far less known is its role in several Miraculous Modern Medical Miracles!
- Porter
Brummer of Toronto, Alabama had been deaf in his left ear for three
years when he first used this Saitek Vibration Gaming Headset. After
having his ears rocked for a few days by the headset’s realistic
vibrations and deep bass response, a large spider was shaken free from
his inner ear canal, allowing Porter to hear normally…a true Miraculous Modern Medical Miracle! The spider then bit Porter, who died from the bite the following day.
- After suffering from a chronic stuttering condition all her life, Bethany Beffeffer of Seaside, Nebraska tried the Saitek GH30
headset. The vibrations compensated for her stutters, and when she
wears the headset, she’s able to speak normally! Of course it doesn’t
make any sense…that’s why it’s a Miraculous Modern Medical Miracle!
- Working on a conservation project in a remote part of
eastern Congo, Timm Grimm of Wander, Indiana was stopped late one night
by a rebel patrol. It looked like they were going to “arrest” him, and
do God knows what to his lifeless, bloodied corpse…until he bartered
for his safety with the few possessions he had on him: a Chicago White
Sox cap, the July 2007 issue of People magazine, a flashlight without batteries, an empty pill bottle, and the Saitek PH04AU GH30 Vibration Gaming Headset! Not exactly a Miraculous Modern Medical Miracle!, but we needed a third example here!
Can you afford not to own the Saitek GH30 Vibration Gaming Headset? Remember: the spider you dislodge could be your own!

Has anyone ever cared about a potential vice president this much?
Ever? Ever in history? Have you ever seen a photo of Geraldine Ferraro
in her college dorm? What was Dan Quayle’s sports nickname in high
school? And yet, when we mention the Razer HP-1 Barracuda Gaming
Headphones, we suddenly open up a whole new kettle of large, deadly
fish.
It’s not easy, you know. We have to find a way to make
a joke about a microphone designed to cancel all conversation you
wouldn’t want other people to hear. And we have to mention the ear muff
style headphones that are designed to block out all other sources of
information. Plus the Razer HP-1 Barracuda Gaming Headphones are made
to work best with the sound cards designed by Razer, even though
they’ll be willing to get along with other sound cards as well. There’s
even a 99% oxygen-free cable.
So what are we to do with
these Razer HP-1 Barracuda Gaming Headphones? What would you do when
faced with such temptation? We’re only human.

Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about FM Radio:
The
(L+R) Main channel signal is transmitted as baseband audio in the range
of 30 Hz to 15 kHz. The (L-R) Sub-channel signal is modulated onto a 38
kHz double-sideband suppressed carrier (DSBSC) signal occupying the
baseband range of 23 to 53 kHz. A 19 kHz
pilot tone, at exactly half the 38 kHz sub-carrier frequency and with a
precisely defined phase relationship to it, is also generated. This is
transmitted at 8–10% of overall modulation level and used by the
receiver to regenerate the 38 kHz sub-carrier with the correct phase.
Did
you skip over all that because you don’t know what it means? Yeah, we
did the same thing. But we searched that paragraph for the words
“little dinosaur inside” and we got no results so it seems like The
Flintstones lied to us. Why would you do that, Fred? We had your back
when that whole Gazoo thing happened!
Sadly, this means that the Arkon Wireless FM Transmitter doesn’t come with any dinosaurs. We even went and checked the purchase order to be sure. It has a big “NO DINOSAURS”
stamped on the front. Which on the one hand, makes us sad. But on the
other hand, we’re looking forward to finding a stamp like that to use
around the office.
Oh, and the Arkon Wireless FM Transmitter transmits from stuff like iPods, CD players, Cassettes, and probably FM Radios too, if you really want to get all meta. Don’t come whining to us if that last one makes a black hole.
Warranty: 90 Day Woot Limited Warranty
Features:
- Transmit the audio from any portable audio player to your car’s FM radio in stereo
- Tune SoundFeeder into any unused FM channel and you’ll hear your music player playing in stereo off the radio
- Works with any 3.5mm input connectors such as MP3, CD, Cassette, or Minidisc player.

Remember in high school when somebody in first period would tell a
guy that his girlfriend was cheating and then someone in third period
would tell the girl that her boyfriend was mad and then someone in
fourth period would tell the guy that the girl didn’t care any more and
then someone in sixth period would tell the girl that the guy was
talking to a different girl and then at the end of the day the whole
relationship was over and they were both in tears? Well, that’s
convection, and that’s how the Orion OC-1 Stainless Steel Convection

Astroblak first thought he had a concussion. A bar full of tiny
cowboys with gossamer wings? A mechanical bull that only came to his
ankle? A wooden sign that read “At Big Molly’s Banana Corral, You Can
Throw The Peanuts On The Floor”? This wasn’t his scene at all.
But then he noticed they were singing about televisions. Was it the Viewsonic N3251W 32” LCD HDTV?
It had to be, he reasoned. What kind of idiots would sell two
equivalent televisions back to back? Astroblak let himself scan the
room as he listened to the band. ATSC, NTSC, HDTV, HDMI with HDCP, you know, they really weren’t half bad. Maybe he’d see if they had any cds for sale.
Before
he could go any further, the side window shattered into a million
pieces. Everything seemed to be in slow motion as the two gorillas flew
into the room. There were screams and the little cowboys went in every
direction.
Astroblak watched, briefly. After all, he thought
to himself, what kind of man doesn’t enjoy a good fight? But it was the
spittoon and broken bottle that made him step in.
“HEY!” he
yelled from the door with a voice so loud and so commanding that it
could be mistaken for gunfire. The room went silent. Some people would
even swear they saw a pistol. That was fine with him.
Astroblak
put his hands on his hips. “My name is John Astroblak,” he said. “And
why don’t we cut out this triflin’ crap and talk about what the hell is
goin’ on?”

“Audrey! Audrey! I can’t get this crazy mixed-up ear thermometer to work right! What’s the big idea here?”
“Jack, you big lummox, that’s no ear thermometer!”
“Listen, I don’t care how bad a fever I have – I’m not sticking that thing anywhere else!”
“No, no! Why, it’s not a thermometer at all. It’s a 2-In-1 Digital Tire Pressure Gauge & Tread Gauge.”
“Well, that would be just perfect if I had a flat tire.”
“No, not you, you’ve just got a flat head.”
“Insulted in my own home, eh? One of these days…”
“Oh,
settle down, Jack. You use it to read your tire pressure and measure
how deep your tire treads are. Maybe you could use it on your bus
route.”
“I’m gonna be using it on an ambulance route if you don’t get me some aspirin.”
“Right here, Jack. And a -”

Hello. I’m Arthur Sinclair-Smithe-Llewellen-Windsor, and this is my friend, a zombie.
blraaaag
The zombie and I are here today to discuss the Saitek PH04AU GH30 Vibration
Gaming Headset. Partly because we know how much our customers enjoy
zombies, and partly because zombies are notoriously harsh about their
headphones.
blraaaag
You’ll notice that the Saitek PH04AU GH30 Vibration
Gaming Headset has a cushioned headband and closed leatherette ear
cushions. This adds comfort to your listening, which leaves you free to
game, conference or chat without the discomfort that normally
accompanies the internet.
blraaaag
Yes, quite. The Saitek PH04AU GH30 Vibration
Gaming Headset also has a built in microphone and works with any voice
communication software. You can plug in and be talking right out of the
box.
blraaaag
Oh, of course. The Saitek PH04AU GH30 Vibration
Gaming Headset also captures the thrill of being shot in the head and
reproduces it with vibrations that move right across your skull. No
more wondering if that laser hit you directly or if it was just a
glancing blow. Now you’ll know, and right away!
blraaaag
Imagine
sending these to a friend and then giving him a virtual smack on the
back of the head. Imagine putting these on a baby and hearing them howl
in terror. The mischief is endless!
blraaaag
So let us say that, without question, the Saitek PH04AU GH30 Vibration
Gaming Headset is the best vibrating headset made by Saitek in the GH
line between numbers twenty-nine and thirty-one. And might I add, no
other headset dares to make that claim.
blraaaag
On behalf of the zombie, I’m Arthur Sinclair-Smithe-Llewellen-Windsor. We thank you for your time.

Back in the olde days, there was only one game you could play with a
mouse. How it worked was they built a big roulette wheel kind of thing
with numbered holes around its circumference. They’d give the wheel a
spin, and plunk some poor rodent down in the middle, who would
immediately run to one of the holes in a vain attempt to seek refuge.
You could put bets on which hole. You can still see this game at the
fair sometimes, but they use rats now instead of mice, for three
reasons:
1. Rats are bigger and easier for everyone to see.
2.
Rats are more brazen than mice, which will sometimes just freeze,
terrified, in the middle of the spinning game contraption and urinate
instead of trying to take control of their destiny by running for one
of the numbered cubbies.
3. No one gives a crap about rats,
so the fact that this game is kind of cruel doesn’t seem to bother
anybody the way it might if it was a cute, fluffy white mouse trembling
and nauseated in the center of the turntable.
So now pretty
much the only gaming mice you’re likely to see are not real mice at
all, but cursor-pointing gizmos like this one here. Is the Razer
Diamondback Plasma Blue gaming mouse have an adorable little sweet
fuzzy face? No. Is it soft and warm? Not especially. But it does have
seven programmable buttons, and is almost guaranteed not to poop in
your hand.

Welcome, subjects, to another session in our ongoing exploration of
the depths of the human psyche. This particular psychological
experiment has been going on for about four years now, and just like
those people who kept electro-shocking strangers just because a guy in
a lab coat told them to, you have confirmed our worst fears about human
nature.
Sadly for our souls (but happily for our
pocketbooks), we have seen that all it takes to siphon hard-earned
money from the 21st century consumer is a little bit of gimmickry, a
little bit of mystery, a lot of artificial scarcity, and the occasional
big TV. No matter how many times we tell you this garbage isn’t worth
the garbage in your garbage can, no matter how emphatically we warn you
that you’d be better off spending your money on used shoelaces or last
week’s TV Guide, it doesn’t matter. Your verbal, logical brain is subverted by that Pavlovian GIMME STUFF instinct. Up you queue, credit cards in hand – and woe betide any person (or web server) that thwarts your primal crap-drive.
We try to maintain a certain scientific detachment toward this experiment, but frankly, you sicken us.
HEY CRAP-FOR-BRAINS, SEE IF YOU CAN WRAP YOUR TINY LITTLE MIND AROUND THIS:
1. WHEN YOU ORDER THIS ITEM, YOU’LL GET ONE BAG WITH (up to) THREE CRAPS IN IT.
2. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTING THE QUANTITY THREE WHEN YOU ORDER.
3. YOU WILL WASTE FREIGHT IF YOU ORDER FEWER THAN THREE.
In
return for your money, you’ll get some kind of bag and some quantity of
crap. We promise nothing more than that. You should expect even less.
THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS:
01. Thou shalt not expect thy crap to be especially nice. The only possible exception: natives of Bizarro World.
02.
Thou shalt not whine and complain when some people’s crap turns out to

Over the last two days, reports surfaced that a hacker had
gained access to the personal email account of John McCain’s running
mate, Republican vice-presidental candidate Sarah Palin, and posted
excerpts on the Internet. Turns out it was actually the email account
of Sandra Phalen, vice-principal at McCone High School in Republic
City, Iowa. But the resulting dirt is every bit as juicy. With that
nauseating mixed metaphor, let’s take a look…

After numerous
parental complaints following last night’s girls’ basketball game (go,
Lady Minutemen!), I’d like to remind all of our coaches that per school
board policy, undergarments are required at all MHS athletic events. This rule is NOT optional. Let’s leave the anatomy lessons to the science department, OK guys?

Re: “Big” Gus’s retirement
Hey all, as you may know our longtime custodian “Big” Gus will be retiring at the end of the month. After researching various options, we’ve decided to salute his 38 years of service with a special gift from all of us: a Soyo HS11 Freestyler
Bluetooth Stereo Headset. The A/V Club kids tell me you plug the
transmitter into any 3.5mm mini-jack and it transmits the audio to the
headset. It’s got a built-in microphone and everything. It’s real “Star
Trek” – may the force be with you!!
With “Big” Gus getting
on in years, the Bluetooth sound quality will really help. And since
“Big” Gus was never what you might call “wired out”, we’ll have to
remember to tell him that to sync the headset up, you have to hold down
the power buttons until it blinks red and blue. This manual is no help
at all – it reads like something one of our remedial students would
write. Well, maybe not that bad, hehe!!
To contribute to the
gift fund, come by my office. As always, all contributions are
voluntary and confidential, so don’t worry, Mrs. Olafborg. You’ll get
away with not paying. Again.
Thanks -
Sandra

Hello, Ms. Phalen. Just

Re: RE: “Big” Gus’s retirement
Well, guys,
good news and bad news about the gift for “Big” Gus. The good news is,
we’ve purchased the headset and it seems, if not spectacular, perfectly
adequate – just like “Big” Gus himself.
The bad news is, “Big” Gus passed away quietly in his home last night. In lieu of flowers, we will present the Soyo HS11 Freestyler
Bluetooth Stereo Headset to his widow as a token of our esteem. We hope
its convenient Bluetooth wireless communication will be a comfort to
her through this difficult time.
If anyone would still like to contribute, I am still accepting donations, Mrs. Olafborg.
Thanks -

I’ve got news for the other ladies in the church Ladies’ Auxiliary.
I’ve suffered through my last humiliating Friday potluck. While you
were all showing off your fancy layered casseroles and meats stuffed
with other meats, I’ve had to get by with the same old boring potato
salad every week. It got really bad that one time I was out of potatoes.
And
all along, I knew I had the perfect recipe to finally show all of you
(and more importantly, God) how much better I am than you: my
world-famous hot ‘n’ spicy lemon meringue French fries. The only
problem was, I didn’t have a food processor capable of doing the recipe
justice.
Well, put this in your newsletter. With the six swivel heads and the nine chopping levels of the Bravetti FP110H Platinum
Pro Food Processor, I’m finally ready. My meringue fries will play a
symphony of lemon, potato, and cayenne on your tongues. You’ll wonder
how it can be so crunchy and so fluffy at the same time. And when I
deny you a second helping, you’ll feel ashamed for saying such mean
things about my potato salad. If God didn’t want me to be better than
you, why did he give me the Bravetti FP110H Platinum Pro Food Processor?
Warranty: 1 Year Bravetti
Features:
- Swivel head design with 6 cup capacity and 550-watts of power

Here’s what they’re reading over on Wine.Woot, in case you’re one of those weirdos who only stop by for the jokes:
Every so often, the cast of a popular sitcom decides to up stakes
for an episode and visit some exotic locale. This is usually right
before they add a new little kid to the cast because the old little kid
isn’t cute anymore. The Keatons in London, the Bradys in Hawaii, the
Conners at Disneyland: the traditional formulas are discarded. Our
familiar TV pals strike new, revealing shapes against an exotic
backdrop. Enchanted tiki idols may be involved.
And then they re-run that episode over and over to milk all the “very special” ratings juice out of it, while they can.
Well, we’re
not about to discover a precocious, wisecracking second cousin who
needs a loving home. But today, in a very special rerun episode of
Wine.Woot, we take you back to exotic Australia for a second look at our debut international
offer. And we’re not going there for any old kangaroo milk. We’re
talking Penfolds, mate. They’ve been romper-stomping the grapes of
South Oz since 1844, back when Australia was still His Majesty’s
biggest prison. Through everything since, through the triumphs of
Olivia Newton-John and the tragedy of Yahoo Serious, Penfolds has won
plaudits, kudos, and even some huzzahs from the global wine community.
And get this: both the 2001 and 2003 Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz
were harvested in, like, March or April or something. But that’s the
wacky Bizarro world of the Southern Hemisphere for you. We still
haven’t figured out why all their blood doesn’t rush to their heads,
with everybody walking around upside-down all the time.
But
good thing it doesn’t. Because then we’d never experience the sublime
Aussie thrill of these two Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz vintages. As
plush and substantial as the cushions in a sultan’s harem, the 2001
starts with aromas of dark fruit sprinkled with dark chocolate, cola,
anise, and licorice, joined after swirling by subtle touches of violet,
cured meat, and boiled fruitcake. It’s a real smorgasbord for the nose
– and it’s not all you want to smell, it’s all you can smell. That old Shiraz magic will have your palate in its spell with bountiful prune, plum, and spice notes. Maybe that’s why Beverage Dynamics
gave the 2001 Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz a score of 91 and a
four-star review. “Beautiful,” they said. “A must-have…any meal would
be honored to have this wine as its pairing.”
Don’t get
jealous, 2003 Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz, because people have said
some awfully nice things about your generous, voluptuous charms, too.
Christmas pudding, plum, cherry, spice, and demi-glace aromas! Mocha,
dark chocolate, spice, and plummy, berried fruit flavors! With 90
points from International Wine Cellar and 89 points from Wine Advocate, it’s the best-reviewed Australian import since Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
And this one won’t make you uncomfortable if you’re trying to enjoy it
with your grandparents in the room. Don’t leave this one in your cellar
too long – despite its younger age, Penfolds winemaker Peter Gago
recommends drinking the 2003 before its 2001 sibling.
Sure,
we could’ve hired Paul Hogan or Angus Young to lend us some Aussie cred
for this episode, but what do we need them for when we’ve got Penfolds
making an appearance? We hope this little Australian tangent has been
as enjoyable as watching the delightful young ladies of the Eastland
School drive all the boys in Montmartre wild. Tonight at midnight, we’ll be back
in our same old set, with the same old wacky neighbor telling the same
old jokes to the same old laugh track.
But at least it’ll be an episode you’ve never seen before.

Once upon a time there was a man named Charles Mason. And boy, did
he have a hard time. Any time he had to give his name, on paper, out
loud, when he got stopped for a traffic ticket, someone would comment
and poor Charles Mason would have to say “no, that’s not me, he’s
someone totally different.” Charles had to be very careful to always
get his hair cut on time (but not too close!) and to always wear a coat
and tie, and most importantly, Charles could never be caught talking to
himself! And so Charles led a very lonely and quiet life, until he got
a Jabra BT-350 Bluetooth Headset.
With the Jabra BT-350
Bluetooth Headset, Charles could walk up and down the street freely
talking about whatever came to his mind. He had around seven hours to
discuss freedom, Jesus, the stock market, and how time was a wave that
moved in sixteen directions once your mind was freed from the shackles
of industro-facist society, jack. And if any person looked at him
funny, Charles could just point at his Jabra BT-350 Bluetooth Headset
and smile. And the person would smile too.
And so, Charles Mason and his Jabra BT-350 Bluetooth Headset lived happily ever after.

“Donnie… you gotta go, baby… the cops…”
“I… Betty… you know it wasn’t me who did it, don’t’cha? Don’t’cha, Betty?”
“Oh,
I know, Donnie, I know with all my heart! Now go, Donnie! Go! Jump on
your bike and carry with you the memory of our love to keep you warm!
Go! Go now! Donnie? Why aren’t you going, Donnie?”
“But I
am, Betty! I’m going… in my imagination! I’m using this Nikko 1/5 R/C
Kawasaki Cycle to escape the cruel world we live in and ride free and
easy on the street of dreams!”
“Donnie… this is your bike?”
“My ride,
Betty, I call it my ride. Watch, I can go forward, reverse, left,
right, I can even come to a full stop. But I can’t do that too long,
you know, I gotta keep moving.”
“Donnie, you said you were a biker!”
“I
am, Betty! The Nikko 1/5 R/C Kawasaki Cycle has a real front and rear
suspension, and the driver shifts his weight into turns. I could even

ride like this! Hey, watch me floor it and jump over that pinecone. All
this simulated scale danger really gets you excited, doesn’t it?”

could happen at any time, baby. That’s the kinda life I lead. No room

VERO BEACH, FL (September 15, 2018) –
Troubled custodial star iRobot Roomba 415 was arrested here last night
for public indecency, lewd conduct, and nicotine possession. Around 6
pm, police received several calls that the robotic vacuum was
approaching patrons outside a Vero Beach appliance store, buzzing
obscenities and exposing its cleaning brush in a suggestive
manner.
“We believe the suspect was upset by a window display of TRXE-3000
maid-borgs,” said Vero Beach police Sgt. Dyson Hoover. “Drug or alcohol
intake does not appear to be a factor. But then, the suspect doesn’t
have blood or urine, so who knows?”
Once hailed for its
Active Dirt Response cleaning system and low-profile design, iRobot
Roomba 415 was one of the early robotic vacuum cleaners who
revolutionized floor care in the early 2000’s. But as newer models
crowded it out of the spotlight, iRobot Roomba 415 showed its
frustration in a series of highly public incidents, including a 2009
brawl in a nightclub with then-wife Tara Reid and a 2011 bust while
trying to buy illicit Colombian cleaning fluid.
An attempted
2012 comeback tour with Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse (dubbed “Clean
and Sober – And Rocking!”) was abruptly cancelled just three dates into
the tour. After creating a furor in Bangkok by telling the Thai press
he was “bigger than Buddha”, iRobot Roomba 415 emptied its debris bin
on a portrait of the King of Thailand onstage, then refused to vacuum
it up.
The rise of Jetsons-inspired maid-borgs reduced
iRobot Roomba 415 to eking out a meagre living with public appearances
at vacuum-cleaner fan conventions and occasional roles in
straight-to-video thrillers like Vacuumed Alive! and Don’t Go Near The Stairs.
“I
regret my behavior in Vero Beach, and I ask for the forgiveness of my
friends, my family, and most of all, my fans,” the wayward vacuum said
in a prepared statement. “I look forward to returning to what I love to
do best: cleaning the floors of my fans in the classic old-school
style. Much love.”
At press time, no iRobot Roomba 415 fans had been located for comment.

When you hear “infinite baffle” you normally would start looking
around for Grant Morrison. Too bad he’s busy not being as good as the
Skrulls. No, really, Grant, we’re so glad you found Alan Moore’s old
pitch to kill the universe. But this is the twenty-first century,
remember? We’re past that. Nowadays we’re more into the Klipsch RCR-3 In-Ceiling Loudspeaker Pair.
See, unlike killing off superheroes for the hell of it, the Klipsch RCR-3
In-Ceiling Loudspeaker Pair tries to make life better and more fun.
It’s got a high frequency horn and a 6.5” woofer and a 1” titanium dome
tweeter and it goes, well, in the ceiling. And that makes it a home
improvement that might actually increase the value of the home. As
opposed to, say, tearing out the kitchen and trying to pretend that it
is a natural progression of the storyline if one assumes that the floor
plan is taking place in the real world.
But, hey, you have
your fun knocking over the sandcastles, and we’ll check the wiki when
you’re all done to see who lived and who died. Until then, we’ll enjoy
our Klipsch RCR-3 In-Ceiling Loudspeaker
Pair and look forward to the brave young fellow who’ll be coming next.
I’m sure he’ll bring some great changes to the world you leave behind
once he notices it doesn’t match the comics he grew up with. Maybe
he’ll even start with Animal Man!
