What you are looking at in the above, poorly rendered photo is a surefire sign that the apocalypse is coming soon. This "SMORSTIX" contraption is a piece of wood, specially designed with a point at the end, meant to hold a marshmallow for roasting over a campfire. In other words, it's a stick. Someone came up with this idea and people are actually buying them. A STICK IN A BAG!?! This is sad. Back when I was a kid, and up until the last time I went camping and actually roasted a marshmallow (probably 15 years ago), we found a stick on the ground or cut one off of a tree and roasted marshmallows on it. This is clearly marketed to attract those people who my brother in law (the cable man) complains about, asking that cable be hooked up at campgrounds to their luxury campers for the summer.What is next? A robot arm, to hold the SMORSTIX out of the camper window while you are in the den of your Airstream watching True Blood in the middle of the woods?

It ain't my camper 6 months of the year, it is my HOUSE! I demand cable! :P
ReplyDeleteOk... I'll accept that. Less than a month, though? Completely unacceptable.
