Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
I can’t wait to see how this fridge thing unfolds. Glorious.
Anyway, patrons of this thread may (or may not) recall that I work with a bloke who has a CCTV camera set up in his living room which provides him with a LIVE feed, direct to his phone, of his two dogs as they spend their day sleeping on the settee and generally loafing around doing what dogs do. Better there than in the office I suppose, but I could quite happily live without the intermittent updates from him about his mutts movements.
Anyway, he’s ALWAYS ordering stuff off Amazon, then dutifully reporting to me whats next for delivery. The latest thing he’s excited about (I’m not exaggerating, it IS genuine excitement) is this.
Yup. He’s bought a multicoloured LED lightbulb, with remote control, which he has now fixed up in his lounge. The conversation this very morning went thus:
Him: “I played with my lightbulb last night, its brilliant. You can set it to any colour, you can make it brighter or dimmer, you can have it cycling through the colours, or flashing even. I set it to orange last night, it was just like a sunset. So cool”.
Me: “The evenings must just fly by in your house”.
Oh, and the next thing…One of his dogs is jet black, so he has difficulty spotting it when he takes it for a walk in the woods at night. The solution ? He’s browsing thermo-tracker head mounted NIGHT-GOGGLES (but not “toy ones” – he wants proper military grade ones). I pointed out that walking around in the woods in the dead of night wearing military grade thermo-tracking night vision equipment was possible broaching into serial killer territory, but he was unperturbed. He’s going to do it. He is ACTUALLY going to do it.
I can't decide if this is genuine bellcheesery, or just deeply ODD.
[edit]: He is in his 50's.
