Be careful who you give it to

I bought this jacket for a coworker in hopes that giving him a gift would inspire him to reveal his true feelings for me. He did look very nice in it, but maybe that’s what caused the problem. He looked TOO nice. And kind of boring. Shortly after I gave it to him, I realized that he felt more like a little brother to me and that I actually have a thing for another guy at work who’s kind of a scruffy smart aleck (a bit of a loser, really, and SO not my usual type at all) who hangs around with some totally disreputable characters (some of them look like real hairballs) and may not be strictly honest. But he has this sexy bad boy thing goin’ on, IYKWIM, and I’m finding it hard to resist. Heh, I haven’t resisted AT ALL! It’s a really nice jacket, even though it kills all your romantic feelings for the nice, responsible, and even kind-of-attractive guy you give it to, so be careful with it.

Great jacket, but be warned

Though you may appear the stylish ingenue for a short period of time, attiring yourself in this jacket for any prolonged period of time will ultimately bring you a rash of bad luck rivaled only by the accursed Hawaiian Tiki statue. Wearing this jacket increases your chances of wrecking your Trans Am, having your hand cut off by your father, or passionately kissing your sister. Avoid at all costs.

Magnificent piece of technology

After spending some time looking for the perfect watch, I came across the Zenith Xtreme Tourbillon, and I was more than impressed. This watch is one of the most technologically advanced watches in the world. After visiting the plant, located under the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland, I was sold! I had to buy one! (I actually own 2 of them, but more on that later…) Just the fact that it takes almost 3 years to build and there are more than 378 people involved in the process from engineers to plumbers, carpenters, mathematicians, physicists, pharmacists, etc., is mind blowing. Let me start with the case itself, which is made out of a mix of unobtanium and T. Rex wisdom tooth, it’s light but yet strong enough to withstand 12,000 atmospheres of pressure. Then comes the heart of the watch, “the engine,” powered by a mini nuclear reactor, running on a (2/16th × 1/32nd of an inch) bar of Plutonium 238 that has a life of 88 years.
This brings me to the cooling system. (Any of you who owns a mini-nuclear-reactor watch knows that cooling the reactor can be a pain in the butt, since you have to constantly inject water into the watch to lower the temperature and if you somehow forget, not only do you end up with a nuclear meltdown, it also voids the warranty!!) And at this point is when the most impressive use of technology I have seen comes to play; the people of Zenith came around this by using your own body water. Yes!! This baby cools itself down by absorbing water from the body through the bracelet, which contains thousands of microbonding cells that attach to the pores on contact and pull water to the surface of the skin to be absorbed by the wristband!! Genius!! The only drawback with this approach is that if you are not careful you might became dehydrated. The people at Zenith recommend that you drink at least 10 gallons of water a day to help with the process. The other part of the cooling system is the big turbine located on the upper left side of the watch, which is used for steam release like any other nuclear reactor. (Just a quick note on that: it might freak some people out, especially if you are on a subway in New York City and the steam starts coming out.) The other 2 small turbines are for propulsion only, and they are powerful!! More than 400 hp of pure thrust! Remember this is a professional scuba diving watch and having the turbines to push you through water at 150 knots helps a lot. In my case, after a quick dive at the Marianas Trench I realized that if you don’t keep the watch in a center position with relation to your body you end up swimming in circles!! That’s why I bought 2…one for each hand so I can move in a straight line. And last but not least, remember to read the instructions. There’s a code included with your documents, like an activation code, but in this case you have to call the Department of Defense to let them know that you own a Tourbillon watch, since it leaks small traces of radiation. The people at Zenith were very helpful bailing me out since I forgot that step and found myself on a plane on my way to Guantanamo. An amazing machine!! Go ahead buy it. Stop staring at it. You won’t regret it!!

Sliding Technology

I usually don’t drop $112,750.00 on a watch, but I figured, what the hell? I sold my home, all my personal belongings, my wives, and the dog; but it was all worth it. Because now I have the Zenith Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Men’s Automatic Watch, which allows me to slide to alternate dimensions and warp reality. On my journeys through the dimensions I encountered Thanos, who attempted to trade the Infinity Gauntlet for this watch, but I refused. Thanos then attempted to steal the watch from my possession, and the watch transformed me into Green Power Ranger. After an ensuement of flips and high-flying gymnastic battles, I ultimately defeated him, stripped Thanos of the infinity gauntlet, and saved our universe.
