I get ripped off (again) and Nancy tackles the pot problem in London.

If you've been keeping up with Krystal Adventures for any length of time, you know I talk a lot about Nancy. I've known Nancy for a long time and I owe a lot to Nancy. Sadly (for me, not Nancy) she currently lives in London. Nancy's into art. Old art. Old dirty art. And apparently England has a lot of old dirty art. OK, well that didn't quite come out right.
Here's maybe this will make more sense:
Museum of London Reveals Exceptional Roman Pot Discovery
Alright, so maybe that title didn't clear it up much either. You'll have to read the article, I guess. In the article, down a bit, you'll find a great picture of Nancy. And yes, as I said, she's cleaning up the pot problem in London. While the article may refer to her as "a woman in a conservation studio working on a series of pots laid out on a table" (or "A. W. I. A. C. S. W. O. A. S. O. P. L. O. O. A. T." for short) I will continue to call her Nancy. Besides, how exactly Do you pronounce "Awiacswoasoplooat?"
Here are another couple of articles Nancy emailed to me
Roman bronze collection unearthed
Londinium bourgeoisie revealed in unique Roman find
The first article has another great picture of Nancy, while sadly the second article is lacking. And given the name in the title of the second article, I guess I shouldn't complain about pronouncing Awiacswoasoplooat! With that, I am afraid I may have gone over my Nancy quota for the day. But Nancy knows I am a nincompoop, and she tolerates me anyway. (Merry Christmas, Nancy!)
In other shocking email news, I received an emergency news dispatch from Chris today:
Onion Goggles
Ok, so apparently the people making these things stole their idea from my onion mask posted over a year ago. Don't you just hate it when you come up with a really great idea, then someone steals it and tries to make a buck off of it?
Well if that's how they want to play it, I'll take it one step further!
Their "Onion Goggles" cost $20 plus shipping and handling and take 2 to 4 weeks to get to you. You can go to Kmart and guy a cheap pair of swim goggles for about $5 and have them NOW. Point for Swim Goggles!
How well will "Onion Goggles" work if you suddenly have to go swim a triathalon? Not very well! Point for Swim Goggles
Do Onion Goggles have any mention of sizes? Just how well do these one size fits all goggles fit? Most swim goggles are infinitely adjustable. Point for Swim Goggles.
So there you have it folks: Onion Goggles are a rip off of my idea. Onion goggles are also just an outright rip off as you can get the same benefits, cheaper with simple swim goggles. Both options, however, are lacking in comparison to the mask and snorkel. How can you do the Darth Vader impersonation without the snorkel?
Luke! Would you like some diced onion?
Krystal Lovers get more in the sack!.
