The reason I am not an "inventor"
There is a reason my creativity is being harnessed in the wonderful industry of insurance. It is because when I come up with ideas for new things, inventions if you will, they are absolutely horrible. Today my idea's were centering around some sort of board game. A game that asks what celebrity had a propensity for what drug. (I know, I know I'm kinda playin it fast and loose with the word invention.) Questions would read something like this. Which child star's boredom in her early 20's led to her addiction to Methamphetamines? Ding Ding Ding Who is Stephanie Tanner. CCCOORREECCCTT! And then there would be information about that drug on the back of the playing card. For instance "This drug is the reason you can't get any Friggin' sudafed when you go to target at 9 pm and the pharmacy is closed." Who doesn't want to play that game? I think it sounds like at least 5 minutes of fun. Alright not really, but it is informative. We all know how well informative games sell. Maybe there could be a whole line of Warning games. The perils of alcohol. Different types of STD's. Ahhh. (That's a scream not Aww how cute those kitties would be if I stuck them in the blender...sorry Amy) Flashbacks to 8th grade and the co-ed slide show viewing of real life STD's. Talk about scare tactics. Making 13 year olds view stranger's sickly special places in a room with the opposite sex, NOT NICE!! I was a very shy girl then, I could barely spread a rumor let alone herpes. So no STD game. I will spare those pre-teens with parents who want to talk about sex with them in a "cool" way the pain. Instead I will invite them to any family event with me. They think talking to their parents about sex isn't fun try my grandma. Talk about fun, I got your fun right here.

Haha! This is one of the funniest entries I have ever read...where do you come up with this stuff? This is my favorite blog..it used to be Tiffany's, but after this post, forget that red-head from Topeka.
oh my gosh, shalinn! this post was awesome. you're so funny. this has just become my favorite blog to read!!!! great post.
I will never read another blog. This stuff is amazing. You are really cool.
way to connect two very irritating things...Stefanie Tanner and not being able to buy more than 2 boxes of sudafed at once! Only you could make such a profound connection.
Awesome, Shalinn. This post has taken me from "lurker" status on blogs to someone who was moved enough to leave a comment. Shalinn, thanks for taking it to the next level. Truly. Life. Changing.
I just ran across your blog--I love it! Aren't you the one that told me about panic! at the disco?
That is the dumbest sack of crap I have ever heard. Your writing is the worst thing I have ever read.
