Heaters Needed in Miami?

To give you an idea just how cold it has been region wide here is a story from North Miami Beach, Fla. Keep that in mind as I tell you that six people were rushed to the hospital for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning after they decided to use a barbecue grill to stay warm from the winter freeze.

A charcoal barbecue grill.

Rescue crews showed up after the mother called 911 when one of the children fainted. She decided to use the barbecue when her husband couldn’t find a heater because they were sold out. No one was seriously injured.

Of course the heaters were sold out, its Miami! It rarely gets that cold there! There were probably two heaters left for sale from the seventies, when it last snowed there. Most Miami Residents may not know what a heater is. And where is Al Gore in all of this? Somewhere on the equator in shorts saying, "Did you feel that? I think it just got warmer?"

NOT A HEATER


I GOT A FEVER...AND THE ONLY CURE IS MORE SNUGGIE

Continuing with the cold weather news, Snuggie Fever

Snuggies totally baffle me. The things have taken off so much that they are temporarily halting advertising of the snuggie. The cold weather has helped push sales so high that they can’t keep up with demand. It’s a good problem to have for Snuggie. Could the Snuggie be next Christmas’s Rage? Outselling Zhu Zhu’s, Wii’s, and everything else?

Of course there is a knock off the snuggie including a $60 electric version called a “toasty” on sale in spring, Bad Timing… There’s also the “Slanket” and the expensive but strangely appealing “Lippi Selk Bag” that looks like a hazmat suit. Sadly, I kind of want one of the Lippi things.

People would respect me so much more if I wore this
