After I saw the 1962 film, That Touch of Mink with Doris Day, I knew I wanted to go to an automat. As far as I can tell, there are very few left in existence today. Manhattan’s East Village looks like it’s about it.
For those of you who don’t know what an automat is, it’s [...]

o, I know it isn’t Wednesday, or even the day after Wednesday. Here it is, freakin’ FRIDAY, and I’m just now posting my WANT Wednesday. I’ve been neglecting you, my bleaders (blog readers), and you, too, Butter. I sort of fell off the face of the earth since Monday, and boy, was it dark down [...]

Okay, okay, so I know it is Tuesday, but I wanted to get a jump start on my WANTs for the week.
Before I continue, I’d like to extend a congratulations to Butter for his great linkback on ScienceBlogs.com. Check it out!

A frakkin’ toaster
We’ve all heard the Battlestar Galactica slang for “Cylon,” right? They call them toasters, and for good reason — they’ll all chrome and shiny just like your little pop-up bread oven.

Waffles started a good thing with WANT Wednesdays. I’d like to join in and point out that it would be awful nice to have a goose:
Valentino is a domestic breed, so I don’t think they’re running… afoul… of any wildlife protection laws by keeping her. (The wild Swan Goose is the other species, besides the [...]

Ironically enough, here at the Ozark Outdoors, we get a wi-fi signal but no cell reception. It’s weak, but enough to create a short blog post. It’s been fun, sort of, but here are the two things I want right now.
My home
—AND—
My cat.
In a couple of days, I’ll post some awesome pictures from Onondaga Caves, [...]

Now that the music post-off is over and I kicked everyone’s ass (heh heh), I would like to start a regular feature called WANT Wednesdays. That’s when I post things that I’ve found online throughout the week. Gadgets, gizmos, doo-dads, and other neccessities of life. If you know me, I’m a packrat. Yessir, the Waffle [...]
