The Piggy-Back Ride: It's Fun Again!

The piggy-back ride: it's not just for lazy 2-year-olds or drunk girls anymore...

The surgical mask: it's fun again!

First it was fun for surgery (bo-ring!)... then it was fun for SARS (so 2003)... and now it's fun AGAIN with the swine flue!

When will the surgical mask not be in style? So I recommend coughing up some money for a classy version of this airborne disease protector.

Bonus points if it matches your purse or panties, but any design will do as long as it goes with this season's color palette!

Pimping your mom's ride: it's fun again!

I'm not entirely sure about the ItsFunAgain.com demographic yet... are any of my readers 16 year old boys who think they're pretty bad-ass but are stuck driving around in their mom's old Honda Civics? I'm guessing there's at least a few of you out there, so this one's for you!

All you have to do is save up a few months of allowance and go buy yourself a mountable, one-size-fits-all aluminum spoiler (like this Double Decker Fury Wing for only $169). Just drill a couple of holes in the trunk, screw it on, and you're looking like a pimply little gangster in no time. Not to mention how fast you'll be able to drive to the mall!

Never looking slutty... it's fun (for some people, I guess) again!

Are you one of those people that never wants to look remotely slutty ever? Even at the beach? Well, I'm not... but if that's you (bless your heart) then do I have something fun again for you! The "Wholesome Wear" swim dress will guarantee that you look, um, wholesome... even when frolicking in the waves on a nice sunny day!

According to their handy online store, "The spandex undergarment fits like a body suit, while the loose fitting Taslan outer garment limits cling and adds modesty and style".

That's hot! (And by "hot" I mean you'll feel warm in it).

Making a living off being a douche bag: it's fun again!

I'm not even kidding (though I kind of wish I were)... you can hire this guy to drive you around Chicago: http://ferrariguyforhire.com/

He makes $300/hour. I'm clearly in the wrong line of work!

admitting that silly cat pictures actually make me smile - it's fun again!

Anyone have one of those friends whe sends the random emails with "cute kitty pictures" just to brighten your day?

(That's all, just wondering if anyone has one of those friends)

the dog-actor, it's fun again!

This is just a quick tribute to the beloved "Tiger" from The Brady Bunch who sadly passed away last week from a rare vision disorder from years of reading his lines on set. To support my charity to fight against long hours on the set for dogs and cats - please visit my website at www.dogsandcatsshouldntbeallowedtobecalledactors.com

I appreciate your interest in a cause that means so much to me

the COME BACK! it's fun again!

I'm BA-ACK!
the thing with the "come back" is that it's almost better than it was the FIRST time around. So, don't even think that my short hiatus was unintentional biyatch! :) Oh, i missed you guys!

(Does anyone want to admit it or am i going to have to be the first one? O.k. - i'll take the heat on this one cuz i'm not scared - the SCRUNCHY IS BACK and it's functional AND pretty sexy....keep it real & just be you...wear that scrunchy you've been holding on to since 1993 - you won't regret it)

The Drink Umbrella: It's Fun Again!

Here at It's Fun Again Inc., we're always trying to find ways to make the mundane more exciting. So along those lines, here's a little tip for making your beverage of choice more FUN (other than pouring booze into it) - add a cocktail umbrella!

Nothing brings a little bit of that relaxed, buzzed vacationy feeling into your morning status meeting like a drink umbrella in your double-tall-split-shot-nonfat-mochachino!

(And here's a tip for you downtown Seattle readers: they give out free drink umbrellas at the coffee counter inside Pacific Drugs on 1st & Marion... now you have no excuse to be missing out on all the fun)

The Contest: It's Fun Again!

Maybe this is just my competitive nature talking, but I think nothing makes an ordinary task exciting like turning it into a contest! Here are a few fun ideas to get you started:

• Sleeping pill contest: everyone takes 1 sleeping pill / hour, and the last one awake wins. Must be done in recliners or lounge chairs.
• Stupid staring contest: make the "stupid face" (mouth slightly open, eyelids droopy) and stare each other down.
  
• Hot dog eating contest - yeah, it's totally been done before, but it's too fun not to mention!

Give one a try this weekend... and be sure to report back to me on who wins!

The Hammer Pant: It's Fun Again (really??)

OK, here's the fashion update straight from Berlin: the Hammer Pant (aka drop-crotch pant - sounds so hot doesn't it?) is back! Only now with more of that "I just pooped my pants" look than ever.

Seriously, they're everywhere, and it scares the crap out of me (apparently it scares the crap out of all the people wearing them too... literally).

I just wish they would invent a shirt that looks like I threw up down the front of it to go with them... let's go for the whole outfit!

Berlin: It's fun again!

See you next week! :)

The Onesie: It's fun (for the whole family) again!

They're stylish and cozy...and the money you save by buying the whole set, you can use for your children's therapy later!

FACT: it's fun again.

And suddenly you really believe me that it is fun again, don't you? How did I do that? Well, I preceded the statement I wanted you to unquestioningly accept with the word "FACT". It gave me a sense of authority and confidence that made the words following it seem more true. Am I right?

You try it... go make up a fact and then convince someone of it! (Just don't try it on me... I'm horribly gullible, so it won't count).

The Hawaiian Shirt - It's Fun Again!

...and so is bed head. So it looks like someone's having tons of fun again!

Mahalo.

The See-Through Body Suit: It's Fun Again!

I guess I could have just left this as "the bodysuit: it's fun again" (because it is!) but the see-through part just makes it that much more fun.

While Cher seems to be the one bringing it back, I now intend to be the one KEEPING it back! That's right... I think I've found my new Tuesday outfit. It's perfect for that monthly revenue meeting, or just a casual hallway chat!

Now what earrings to wear...?

The Teriyaki Burger Shake: It's Fun Again!

It's really a lot better than it sounds. They take a cheeseburger (with bacon, if you want) and some teriyaki chicken, and blend them up with some creamy vanilla soft-serve ice cream. Sweet and savory... really great.

For those of you "fun again" readers in the greater Seattle area, you can pick yourself up one of these awesome dinner shakes on 80th & Greenwood. Go slurp one up for your next meal!

The bumper sticker: it's fun again!

Driving around is such an impersonal activity. Everyone is trapped in these metal boxes, moving past each other, not interacting. If only there were a way to express to people all of you quirky opinions, jokes, and motivational catch phrases while waiting at that stoplight.

Wait... there is! The bumper sticker! What it takes away from in your car's value it makes up for in other people's respect for your wittiness.

Anyone from the feminist hippy to the badass lowrider guy (his other ride is your daughter) can get their message heard with a little bumper flair! So stick it on there... if you like fun, that is.

¡Hablo español: Es diversión otra vez!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo. ¡Viva la fiesta! Yo quiero la cerveza. Si, cerveza...

(Hablo poquito español. Lo siento.)

Tasting like chicken: It's fun again!

In keeping with the initiative of having at least 10% of "fun again" things be booze related, here's a gem: chicken flavored vodka! Apparently this is what Polish people drink (bless their hearts). Now I can't read Polish, but I'm pretty sure the small text on the label says something like "made from the juice of baby chickens". Mmmm...

Interestingly enough, this thick yellow chicken vodka tastes more like maple syrup than McNuggets. And yes, it is FUN AGAIN!
