Shopping for a person that has everything?  Well they probably don’t have a ghost in a bottle.  A company is selling bottles that allegedly have a ghost in it.  They use professional ghost catchers to wrangle the spirits into the bottles and then make them available to the public.  I may need to get one.  I can put it on the shelf next to my pet rock.

I remember watching him on the Carol Burnett show when I was young.  Harvey Korman and Tim Conway were always my favorites.

If you have a Wii then you need this game.  I was a little skeptical when I heard about it but I have to tell you I think it is one of the best games out there for the Wii.  It comes with the Wii wheel whcih takes some getting used to but I now prefer the wheel.  You can always use a standard controller but I have become used to the feel of the wheel.  The best feature is being able to challenge people using your Wi-Fi connection.  I can race my friends and never leave the comfort of my own home.  The only thing that would make it better is a head set so I could communicate to my friends as I race.  Normally I am just yelling at my television. It would be nice to yell at them.

I came across Orb a few days ago. You go their website and download their application. The setup was quick and easy. Once you have your account setup it will allow you to stream your music, picture and movie files to other devices. I set it up and quickly was viewing a slideshow of my pictures on my Blackberry. You can also use your game consoles to access your files turning them into media centers. I turned my Wii on. Went to the internet channel and in a few minutes had accessed my account and was viewing more of my pictures and home movies. It was easy to setup. I just don’t know how legal it all is. Sure I can view my own pictures with no problems but I wonder how the RIAA feels about the ability to stream music?

If you are in the market for a ouija board and you are a fan of the tiki, Vampirahna makes a tiki ouija board.  It is a little on the pricey side at $99 but they are only available in limited quantities.  Of course there is the theory that ouija boards let you communicate with demons and not friendly spirits you are wanting to communicate with.  I don’t necessarily buy that but there is no sense taking a chance.  I’ve seen The Exorcist  and the last thing I need is to have some polynesian demon pissed at me.

While in Oahu Mrs.  Mai Tai and I rented a car.  We took a drive to the windward side of the island.  I was looking for the North Shore because I wanted to see the surfers and the big waves.  Here is a tip for all you travelers.  There are no signs telling you when you have arrived at the North Shore so make sure you know where your going.  Otherwise you will drive right by it like we did.  Driving makes me hungry and I decided we needed some food.  We started to see lots of shrimp trucks.   If there was just one I would have probably would have just driven by and stopped somewhere else but when you see so many you think that that they can’t be half bad.  Plus we don’t have shrimp trucks in Orlando and it meets my criteria of places to eat when on vacation.  When on vacation you should avoid national chains at all cost.  You can go there anytime.  The place should if at all possible be local and unique.  We stopped at a bright yellow truck that said Shrimp Shack on it.  They had a dining area right next to it.  We both ordered some garlic shrimp with rice and had some corn on the cob as a side.  It was really good.  If you find yourself on the windward side of the island and are hungry try one out for yourself.

I have a Wii. I don’t have Wii fitness. I guess the games has you enter some figures like height and weight and it comes back with your BMI. If it doesn’t like your numbers it calls you fat. I am soon people will be suing Nintendo because their Wii made them become bulimic and anorexic.

Don’t worry Mr. Mai Tai is not going to prison but I did come across this Prison Survival Guide. Cops, Jail and Locked-Up are some of my favorite shows. I watch them just in case I am in the wrong place at the wrong time. That way I know what to do and I can try to avoid the prison rape that is probably waiting for me. It might be good reading if you are about to do some time.

I love this item.  I had a Star Wars themed birthday when I was four.  I wish these had been around.  I would have loved ice cubes shaped like Han Solo in carbonite. 

A few months ago I wrote about the Jedi Church some guys founded in England.  I made a smart ass comment as I usually do about the Church of the Sith.  I wasn’t far off the mark.  It seems members were dueling with lightsabers when some drunk fool yelling “Darth Vader” attacked them.  I knew the sith would eventually reveal themselves.  It was being videoed so you can see it for yourself.
