Flaky, Dry Skin? Have I Got Something For You!

Rate: 29 Flag

I've been thinking about the Ped-Egg.

 You know, that skin-scraping device that's sweeping the nation? Okay, that may be an overstatement, but a lot of people have bought these things. Apparently, rough, dry feet are the scourge of the country, because folks can't get enough of these little plastic-y miracle workers.

Skin Shaving Made Easy 

The basic premise is you open this bad boy up to find essientially a cheese-grater that your rub against your callused feet  and the result is smoothness like a newborn baby's butt. Plus, it collects all the dead powdery skin in a little compartment that you dump like so much used parmesan. It's a rather genius invention. And that really pisses me off.

Because I invented the Ped-Egg.

Sure, mine was slightly different, but the concept was basically the same.  Instead of the cheese-grater attachment, I fashioned three rusty razor blades together, but the results were similar. Let me tell you, the Wonderhorse Wonderegg shaved those calluses right the hell off. Admitedly, we ran into a few problems during the early testing, but if you could look past all the blood and torn cartilage, it all worked out in the end. Our Hungarian test subjects' foot tissue all grew back within a few months and 7 out of the 10 can now get around without the use of a cane or walker. Damned FDA.

Oh, I'm full of inventions. I've been inventing things ever since I was a wee lad. Let's see, there was the electric shower. The battery-operated battery - I had big hopes for that one. The solar-powered tanning bed. All ideas way before their time, I guess.

There was the Marlboro Extra - a cigarette with four times the tobacco and 12 times the nicotine. Yes, it would have been more expensive, but many smokers have told me they'd be more than willing to pay $22 a pack. What else? There was the robotic paperweight, the computer monitor made of balsa wood, the water-proof washrag. The Cat Bath could have been huge. The Do-It-Yourself Vasectomy Kit generated a lot of interest. Let's not forget the Wind-up Breast Polisher  (Remember our catchphrase: "Don't Be A Heiny, Make Your Tits Shiny!"?) - that was me. Don't let the appearance fool you - the Wonderhorse mind is a playground of activity.

 Oh, I once invented a compound that could make ham taste like bacon. I mean, so what if it made your balls swell?  I've got it all - devices to cook a roast, to grow hair, to make your penis bigger, to make your penis smaller - everything you could ever desire, I have an invention for.

I'm telling you, it's only a matter of time. Soon enough, you'll be seeing the Wonderhorse on every late night commercial. Sunday mornings will become Wonderhorse TV. I'm going to corner the market on doo-dads and tchotchkies. I was willing to pose as a prostitute to get Vince the Shamwow Guy out of the picture (don't drop the soap, my lazy-eyed friend), so it won't be long before I give Ron Popeil the beat-down he so richly deserves.

"But, Sheldon," you're saying. "How can you possibly help me, the everyday OS user?" Well, I have a little something here that will not only get you an EP and Cover Spot every time, butI guarantee Joan and Kerry will come over to your house and beg you to write full time for them. They'll be carrying bags of cash and platters of food. Their world will be your oyster.  That's my personal promise, and it can be yours for five easy payment of $19.99.

I am a big fan of the PedEgg and would obviously buy the tit polisher ... and since I don't have balls I'll take that bacon flavoring thing too
Actually, Kerry will make you an EP every time if you send him the Cat Bath! These are all great ideas, I don't know how you even have time to post, Sheldon...
I can't live without my Pedi Egg.

But I still want you to kick Popeil's arse.
Ah, but do you have a device to grow hair on your roast? Huh? I think you're slacking, Mr. Wonderhorse. At least you're still funny as hell.
Is it a shamwow??

Excellent post.
I have a pedi egg and it is from the devil.. i used that damn thing and with in a week of using it my feet were scaley and horrible and torn up! it might take off the dead skin but it ruins the healthy skin.. someone pass me a pumice stone!!

seriously mr the horse... cant we work out a deal and lower that payment plan??
"Don't Be A Heiny, Make Your Tits Shiny!"

Send one quick! My boobs seem kind of dull lately...
Barbra love...you gotta stop when you hit new skin...
Whew, that was a close one. I almost bought that Ped-egg thing. Now I will most certainly boycott. But, that leaves me without silky, smooth feet. So, not that I'm into human trafficking, but if I up the payments to six, would that get me a little Vietnamese lady?
So, you're hawking my Do-It-Yourself Vasectomy Kit? I'll see you in court.
Damn you and your thieving mind, Dr. Steve Blevins. Damn you straight to hell!
Ma - One packet will be sent via US Mail. Keep in mind, I nor anyone involved with Wonderhorse Industries takes responsibility for what the bacon flavoring may do to your female parts.

Joan - it's my gift, it's my curse.

Perse - consider it done.

Lisa - not yet. I did manage to grow a roast on hair, but it was kind of a failure.

Mung - send me the cash and you'll find out.

Barbara - sorry to hear that. I usually skip the pumice stone and wait until I pass a kidney stone - that seems to work just as well.

blue - They look fine from here, but I'll get one out today.

Julie - for six payments, I can't get you a Vietnamese lady, but I could get you a couple of Turkish plumbers.
Sheldon, send this in to the Times Op-ed page or even to the New Yorker. Humor that is topical can still get small payment! Not kidding here. Just keep it up to the minute.
Never heard of the PedEgg but now must have one. I want to take you up on your $19.99 offer, but no number! Hurry, quick...I'm an eager and willing paying customer.
"I'm hung like a horse and you can be too" should be your catch phrase. What you invent from there, is up to you.
so, if men are hung like horses, then would women be hung...like,...donuts??
Because of the bacon flavored ham thing?

I too could use a cat washer!
You had me at platters of food ...
I want to try the PedEgg but figure it's just another lame gimmick that will end up in the same, crap pile as my "Finishing Touch."
I will bow at your feet (all four of them) if you make it big, hire Billy Mays, put him in the Cat Bath and wash away his VOICE.
I would so watch Wonderhorse TV on Sunday mornings - I'm sure you've got a cure for hangovers in there somewhere!
"three rusty razor blades together." Now I have half-chewed banana mush on my screen. Thanks.
I'm holding out for the 'But wait, there's MORE....' special offer and then my Visa is yours, and all your four-legged inventory is mine!
Horsey, you made me spew. Again. "So what if it made your balls swell?" Priceless.
So that's what the PedEgg is for?! I thought it was some kind of reusable bait that pedophiles used. Either way, I don't want one.
Obvisously, you are a genius inventor, but why hasn't this resulted in fabulous financial success? Timing, marketing, conspiracy against you?

I do have a question about the Cat Bath - is that to bathe the cat or is it to train the cat to bathe you?
Obviously, I can't spell...
The Ped -Egg/










Oh yeah the Ped-Egg, my favorite! If you save the skin shavings, add water, and some HGH, and you can build assorted little people almost in the spirit of Gumby and his little friend Robby(?).

i don't have a PedEgg but, i am addicted to infomercials. have you seen the sham wow guy peddling the new "slap chop"?
..you are gonna love his nuts!
Do you have something that will automatically lick my adhesive stamps for me?
Sheldon the Shamwow Guy has a much better ring to it, and besides, Vince may be unavailable since he's schedule to start working on his memoir Hawkers & Hookers.
