<p>If you’re not a HTML coder or savvy geek ,   <br />to you, this shirt is basically Greek.     <br />So, what is hexadecimal html color code you ask&quot;?     <br />It’s a radix 16 color system for assigning a web task.     <br />Still don’t get it, don’t worry its not <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33746159@N02/6959743389/in/photostream/" rel="lightbox" target="_blank">worth your time</a>.     <br />Plus, I can’t explain it better and still have it rhyme.     </p>
<p>If you <u>do</u> understand what this shirt is saying,     <br />you might wonder if the price is worth paying.     <br />The answer to that question is: “why, yes of course”     <br />I can guarantee you will not have buyers remorse.     <br />For, to see all the simple people with blank stares,    <br />is silent satisfaction for all their options and shares.     <br />When they’re puzzled staring through <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33746159@N02/6959797623/in/photostream/" rel="lightbox" target="_blank">their glasses</a>,     <br />yell, “surprise” and jam your resignation up into their pockets.     </p>
<p><font size="1">I leave you with:      <br /></font>Roses are red, Violets are blue     <br />Some poems rhyme, this one doesn’t </p>

<p>He&#8217;s watching you. No, really. He&#8217;s watching you. This isn&#8217;t your parents velveteen rabbit. Bunny is a renegade <a title="Leporidae on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leporidae" target="_blank">Leporidae</a> ready to kick ass and take names. If you thought the <a title="Bunny Boiler" href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=xKytbno2O7I" target="_blank">Bunny Boiler</a> was mean you haven&#8217;t seen anything yet. Bunny is not suitable for anyone that doesn&#8217;t want to scream like a little school girl while being brutally <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3214/2724652105_c53ab6d294.jpg?v=0" rel="lightbox" target="_blank">attacked</a> by an 19 inch furry felt plush. Bunny&#8217;s favorite past times include sitting perfectly still and looking totally mean and awesome at the same time.     <br />If you appreciate the craftsmanship of this stuffed animal then you shouldn&#8217;t waste any more time, check out the <a title="Creature Co-op" href="http://creatureco-op.com/" target="_blank">Creature Co-op</a> for more handcrafted works of art.</p>
<p><span id="more-220"></span>Bunny is a polyester filled soft furry felt bunny that stands 19 inches high and weights in at 8 oz. At night he comes to life and steals socks from the dryer and hides your car keys. The minute you underestimate Bunny is the minute you wish you were never born.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2022/2590715204_72cb7e4d75.jpg?v=0" rel="lightbox">Chocolate Pen Set</a> from <a title="Home Page" href="http://www.gasworks.com/" target="_blank">Gasworks Inc.</a> is a pair of <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3200/2589965105_98ee953f3a.jpg?v=0" rel="lightbox">1.4 ounce chocolate and strawberry</a> body pens. Use the tasty paste to draw designs or write love notes on your lovers body.&#160; The pens are easy to write with and can even be used for decorating <a title="Pillowcake...yes it&#39;s a cake" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3155/2590858124_f9a14e1e04.jpg?v=0" rel="lightbox" target="_blank">cakes</a> and other <a title="Gingerbread House" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3246/2590874348_1cac6e487f.jpg?v=0" rel="lightbox" target="_blank">baked goods</a>.</p>
<p>By heating the pens in warm water, you can determine how viscous you want the chocolate to be.&#160; Never mind the application, the taste alone makes this a great product, I give the chocolate pen set two thumbs up.&#160; These make a great wedding or anniversary gift, as do the other <a title="E.G.G. candy g-string &amp; bra" href="http://essentialgearguide.com/1/612/candy-g-string-bra/">risqué products</a> from Gasworks Inc.&#160; </p>
<p><i>*Size: Each pen is appx 6&quot; tall x 1&quot; wide</i></p>

<p><a href="http://essentialgearguide.com/1/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/hammock-green.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[573]"><img alt="Hammock Tent Green" src="http://essentialgearguide.com/1/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/hammock-green-thumb.jpg" width="498" height="173" /></a>&#160; <br />The Blue Ridge Hammock Tent from <a title="Home Page" href="http://www.lawsonhammock.com/" target="_blank">Lawson Hammock</a>, is made for the smart <a title="Family Guy" href="http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a6ad253b8040101084241c1010f001e" target="_blank">camper</a>, or anyone else that enjoys convenience, comfort, and versatility.     <br />&#160; <br />This lightweight, low impact, bug-free, waterproof, three season shelter was specifically designed for backpacking and <a title="Home Movies" href="http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=c0517901ed010588190d10190b3da10c" target="_blank">camping</a> in hard terrain.&#160; No longer will uneven, rocky, or wet soil be a hindrance.&#160; Camp right at the foot of the <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3111/2457724596_e37e833c86.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">river bed</a>, steep mountainside, or thick jungle.&#160; With less vegetation disturbed or damaged you can reduce your environmental footprint; although, you can always use it as a bivy tent if you find the ideal spot.&#160; <br />Even if you just want to lounge around your backyard, the <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2137/2456907775_feff24079a.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">Blue Ridge</a> will protect you from mosquitos and small ground dwelling flesh eaters.</p>
<p><span id="more-573"></span>
<p>Lawson Hammocks were invented in the <a title="Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Ridge_Mountains" target="_blank">Blue Ridge Mountains</a> of North Carolina. These versatile shelters are ideal for the light trekker or weight cautious backpacker.&#160; The tent is extremely easy to set-up and equally easy to disassemble.&#160; <br />When used as a hammock, there&#8217;s no dirt or due to wipe away from the bottom; just quickly fold and <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2416/2457764260_ff5b2c9721.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">pack it away</a>.&#160; The 36 inch width makes it suitable for two, especially when used on the ground as a bivy tent.&#160; Though the weight limit reads 250lbs, I tested it with 350lb and the tent held up just fine, probably because these hammocks are made of the finest materials, including a nylon pack cloth bed, rip-stop nylon rain fly and no-see-um netting.</p>
<p><a href="http://essentialgearguide.com/1/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/image.png" rel="lightbox[573]"><img alt="Blue Ridge Hammock Tent" align="left" src="http://essentialgearguide.com/1/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/image-thumb.png" width="143" height="143" /></a>     <br />Owner Wes Johnson is excited about sharing this great product because he knows once you try one you&#8217;ll make it part of your regular camping arsenal.</p>
<p><em>     <br />*Be sure to pick up some </em><a href="http://www.lawsonhammock.com/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=76" target="_blank"><em>tree huggers</em></a><em> to make setting up even easier.</em>&#160; </p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<blockquote><p>Packs down to only 4.25lbs (approx.)</p>
<p>Length: 90 inches</p>
<p>Width: 36 inches</p>
<p>Packs to 22&quot;x6&quot;</p>
<p>Weight limit: 250lbs</p>
<p>Colors: <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2351/2457766328_e86e92e551.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">forest green</a> or <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2355/2456937095_2154655289.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">cobalt blue</a></p>
<p>Includes no-see-um netting and waterproof rainfly.</p>
<p>Rainfly attaches directly to the hammock so no need to find multiple trees to tie to.</p>
<p>Patented archpole and spreaderbar system. Archpoles allow for more room as well as the ability to use on the ground as a bivy tent. The spreadbars keep the bed more &quot;taught&quot; so that you&#8217;re not sleeping in a coccoon and can roll over and/or sleep on your side. Much more comfortable that other camping hammocks.</p>
<p>Made of ripstop nylon and seam sealed.</p>
<p>Eliminates the need for carrying other items such as ground tarp or sleeping pad</p>
<p>Rated # 1 camping hammock on the market by publications such as Backpacker and Outside magazines.</p>
<p>brass-plated grommets reinforced with nylon webbing</p>
<p>Storage net pockets inside</p>
<p>one year guarantee</p>
