"This is one time when I'm glad I'm not using a Shamwow!"

This is what my husband just said to me, as he was about to clean fresh cat puke off the carpeted stairs. It cracked me up. I had to share. We enjoy wasting time watching absurd informercials. We actually own a "Magic Bullet" knockoff, the "Rocket!" How could I resist? Make pesto in 3 seconds! Chop up ingredients for your very own homemade quesidilla in 15 seconds! Homemade salsa? 10 seconds flat. Smoothies, grated cheese, omelets, all just a few pulses away! I especially adore the smoking, hungover, be-curlered (yeah, I made that one up) housewife in full makeup and jammies, with the alcoholic attitude. That is how you hawk kitchen appliances, my friends! It is classic. The Shamwow! guy? He has attitude, too. Who knew a dude from Brooklyn would be that into saving paper towels?
But, for cat puke, let me assure you, you want a papertowel.
Happy Saturday.

I LOVE IT!! Sadly, I have yet to use my Shamwows! Can you believe it? I'll be cooking tonight... maybe I'll accidentally fill a pie pan up with water and need to sop it up.... hmm...

I got the shamwow for Christmas. Yes, I did. I seriously looked in the bag to see if there was anything else.

I don't have a cat, thank goodness. But that's for the tip on that one!
