Isolation Thought

I know it's only June, but I have the first entry for my 2004 Christmas List. Yes, it's the "Dream Workshop". For $136 you can control what you dream. You place a photo of who or what you wanna dream about on the device, select appropriate music, and voila, it's your own home version of "Vanilla Sky". Lemme see, find a picture of oh, let's try Thea Andrews. Here is an appropriate one for dreaming. Or perhaps one where she's measuring...er...describing something. Now for the music. How about "Call to the Post". Hey, now you're dreamin'!!!

I guess I should be worried about this company's previous product, Bow-Lingual. Yep, it's the dog translator. It covers most breeds from border collies and bichons, all the way to Yorkshire terriers. What, you don't have one? You don't want to hear those complaints from your dog? Hard to believe everyone does not have a device that tells us what an angry bark is, as opposed to a friendly arf.
