			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must have registered for this auction house in the past, because every now and then I get emails from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cowanalexander.com">cowanalexander.com</a> about an upcoming auction of business assets.</p>
<p>Their recent auction announcement email caught my eye when I read this disturbing inventory item:</p>
<p><a title="disturbing" class="imagelink" rel="attachment" id="p24" href="http://www.webdiscuss.com/?attachment_id=24"><img alt="disturbing" id="image24" src="http://www.webdiscuss.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/usedcolon.jpg" /></a><br />
You read that right. A <a target="_blank" href="http://www.caonlineauction.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?calex/45">&#8220;gently used&#8221; Olympus Colonscope</a>.</p>
<p><a title="gently used colonscope" class="imagelink" rel="attachment" id="p26" href="http://www.webdiscuss.com/random/rodney/some-things-should-only-be-bought-new/gently-used-colonscope/" /><a title="gently used colonscope" class="imagelink" rel="attachment" id="p26" href="http://www.webdiscuss.com/random/rodney/some-things-should-only-be-bought-new/gently-used-colonscope/"><img alt="gently used colonscope" id="image26" src="http://www.webdiscuss.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/45large.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><br />
First, I hope that all colonscopes are used <em>gently</em>.</p>
<p>Second, I don&#8217;t want to be at the ghetto gastroenterologist&#8217;s office that had to buy a <em>used</em> colonscope.  They should definitely have to have a disclaimer somewhere about that.</p>
<p>This is an actual auction, and you can be the proud owner of this colonscope by <a target="_blank" href="https://server2.maxanet.com/cgi-bin/mnregister.cgi?calex">registering to bid at cowanalexander.com</a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.caonlineauction.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?calex/category/ALL">full list of items for sale</a> in this auction.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.caonlineauction.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?calex/45">There&#8217;s already a $50 bid for this like new item</a>.  Surely my nether regions deserve a more expensive camera than that!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like pancakes.  My wife made me try these frozen pancakes from Krusteaz  yesterday, and while I was hesitant to try “fake” pancakes, I have to admit,  they were pretty darn good!</p>
<p>I was watching an old episode of <a style="cursor: url('chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png')" target="_blank" href="http://www.fox.com/familyguy">Family Guy</a> the other day where little Stewie got his first  taste of pancakes. He sums up my love for pancakes in this quote:<br />
<a style="cursor: url('chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png')" target="_blank" href="http://www.webdiscuss.com/images/spancakes.wav">http://www.webdiscuss.com/images/spancakes.wav</a><br />
(from  Family Guy Episode 11: <a style="cursor: url('chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png')" target="_blank" href="http://www.southperk.com/e11.html">http://www.southperk.com/e11.html</a> )</p>
<p><a style="cursor: url('chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png')" target="_blank" href="http://www.mitchhedberg.net/">Mitch Hedberg</a> with  some deep thoughts on pancakes:</p>
<p>“As a comedian, you have to start your act out strong, but you also have to  save some of the good stuff for later&#8230; You can’t be like pancakes, all  exciting at first, but by the end you’re fuckin’ sick of ‘em.” &#8211;<a style="cursor: url('chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png')" target="_blank" href="http://www.mitchhedberg.net/">Mitch Hedburg</a></p>
<p>I added that last dash since Mitch said he always wanted to be quoted with a  dash. <a style="cursor: url('chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png')" target="_blank" href="http://www.mitchhedberg.net/sglcd.html">Go buy his  CD, it’s pretty damn funny</a>. Better yet, go see him <strike><a style="cursor: url('chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png')" target="_blank" href="http://www.mitchhedberg.net/dates.html">live</a></strike> *editorial note: this post was originally written 2 years before Mitch passed away*<br />
The best pancakes I’ve ever had were at Joann’s Country Kitchen Too in  Modesto, CA. Pancakes as big as the 20 inch rims in a rap video.</p>
