Animal Clips
Cable Organisers
Link: Cable Organizer
A huge collection of cable organisers in the shape of whimsical animals from cableorganizer.com. The Animal Clips have strong rubber-based adhesive backs to attach themselves on to surfaces, and are removable. Use them for those pestilent, all-pervasive cables in our house, or just to keep the odd pencil or USB thumb drive in place. 30 designs to choose from.
Other gems from the same site include the mini cable turtle, the velcro wrap, the floor cord cover. Highly recommended by Dick for all your cable organisation needs.
Kill A Watt
Dick also mentions in passing an interesting device sold by Cable Organizer, called the Kill A Watt, which is a surge protector with an amperage and voltage meter - an electricity usage monitor. He says he might return to it, though he never does, until Leo mentions it in another episode in another context, in Episode 642.
A Suggestion for WTHII
Sharon's other half is a pack rat with more unidentifiable junk than any human being should be allowed, which reminds her of Dick, fondly. How about the listeners sending in the photo of a mysterious-looking gadget? Dick likes the idea. If your gadget gets picked for a WTHII contest, you get an autographed copy of Mad.
March '08 WTHII
The button thingy for the March '08 WTHII contest turns out to be the Pants Extender. It extends the waist of your trousers or skirts when you can't get into them any more after a heavy lunch, or a life of culinary binge, as the case may be. A real kluge.
Falsetto Guys
Leo wonders why all their jingles are done by guys who sing falsetto.
