His two “best” ideas (ahem… debatable… but you didn’t hear it from me) were: (1) a toaster hooked up to a conveyor belt that would serve you toast in bed, and (2) a snow shovel that sent out a laser beam in front to semi-melt the snow before the shovel blade got to it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 2pt 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 2pt 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Needless to say, he never quit his day job.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 2pt 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 2pt 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What can we all learn from this sad story?

What my camera envisions is a hot sloppy mess. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 2pt 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 2pt 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But here's the deal [Editor's note: Geesh, sounding a little defensive, aren't we?

I neither own lots of lace nor like it in large quantities on me. So. What you see is a little lace trim on a lightweight cotton shirt and some crochet-lace peeptoe wedges. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Balanced with some masculine tweed and random turquoise.
