WTF?!? Funky New Adult Sized Hula Hoop For Exercise

Posted on May 18, 2012 by rgeczi

I was stumbling through the various sites on the net, and I came across one that They mentioned how good it was for exercise and so on, so I thought to myself, let’s see the hula hoop selection they have here in China. After looking around a bit, I was surprised to find a new hula hoop on the market. I am not sure if it’s a new type, but it’s new to me, and searching Google for it, found that it didn’t easily come up. So, I thought to post it on the site.

This ain’t your momma’s tired, old looking hula hoop. This is state of the art. Check it:

There is a new kid on the block, and this is it. As you can see, it’s “wanky”, which is much different than the usual stiff type you all have grown up with. You can check out the dimensions and so on. Even though it’s in Chinese, you should get an idea of the size. Now, here is what is underneath all that wankiness:

And the good thing about this hula hoop is it also doubles as a stretchy tool that you can use for your arms to stretch out, making it a good yoga tool. You can do it with your legs as well, and by other means. Check out the pic below to see the various ways you can exercise with it. It’s a rough diagram, but I am sure you can get the general idea:

Now, you are probably wondering where you can buy one of these funky hula hoops for adults, where you can exercise away all that extra fat on you, or just to keep toned. The simple answer is…I don’t know. Outside of China, that is. This product supposedly is a South Korean one, but I know it’s manufactured here in China because you can buy it from here. So, if you are looking to buy one of these hula hoops, you are going to have to either buy it from me, or someone else that sells them from China.

Exercising with this will take you to new dimensions, or just expand your current dimensions. lol Either way, it’s an interesting tool to add to your exercise tool work belt. So, what are you waiting for? Take your workout to the next step, and get wanky.

Below is a nice video to get you in the mood.

30,000mW! – Strongest Handheld Laser Pointer in the World?

Posted on May 17, 2012 by rgeczi

As with anything that uses power, people often search the net for the strongest version of whatever product they are looking for. Maybe they want to best their neighbour, maybe they want to show up a close friend by saying, look what I have! Whatever the reason, having ___________ in the world gives you nice bragging rights. Well, for all you people that love laser pointers, you are going to love this post.

Being in China, gives you a good glimpse of the various products here that are either banned in other countries, or not yet on the market. I am not sure what the legal number is for laser pointers, but I am sure the one that I will show you here surpasses it by miles and miles (km for my Canadian friends). You read the title correctly, it isn’t a misprint. I found a handheld laser pointer that is probably the best, most strongest laser pointer in the whole world.

Don’t quote me on it, but, with 30,000mw (30 watts) of laser power in your damn hand, it sure ranks right up there. So, without further ado, the one, the only, THE STRONGEST MOST BESTEST laser pointer in the whole world:

It comes in a neat case and so on. How much do you think this bad boy costs? I would love to hear your guesses. Who knows, you might even reach out to me to inquire about purchasing one. Let me know. This laser pointer is a big boy, looking to be handled by people with big balls. lol You heard it here first folks, the BEST, STRONGEST, COOLEST laser pointer in ALL the world.

At least we think so.

Cute Homemade Dog Costumes – A How To Guide on Making Dog Costumes

Posted on May 14, 2012 by rgeczi

Being in China, you see a lot of strange and interesting things. One of the things that I am seeing more and more is how much the Chinese people here are embracing the idea of “pets”. Let me explain.

Before, people didn’t think much about pets over here, or at least it didn’t seem that way. People just kind of left the pets on their own to roam around, or whatever they wanted to do. But over time, things changed. Because in China most people are only allowed 1 child by law, they seem to have taken a bigger interest in pets, to compensate for the extra space a kid would have taken if more kids were allowed per family.

That means they are treating pets with more respect, and spoiling them with gifts of treats or whatever. Don’t get me wrong, there are people here who still view animals as a side thing, but more and more people are treating them as part of the family, which is nice to see. One of the things that is emerging is dog costumes. You know, people dressing their dogs in clothes for different moods. I am not just talking Halloween and times when it’s cold outside. I am talking about all-year round costumes that they will interchange with their dogs depending on the mood of the owner.

So, if the owner wants to dress the dog up in cool looking hip hop attire or whatnot, they will do so. Strap on some boots, they will do that as well. Anything that they would do to a kid, they will consider doing for their dogs. Because of this growing interest in dog costumes, there are more and more people wanting to make them at home. Homemade costumes are not only cheaper than the store bought ones, they are more “personal”, as you can tailor them to what your needs are.

Below are a few home made costume looks that I found to be cute and possibly ones you would use for your dog:

The above dog costume is pretty genius because it makes it look like the dog is an actual football player standing up. Great look for Super Bowl parties. lol

The above dog costume would probably go well for people that are RC hobbyists that take their dog to local hobby group meets. You for sure would be the hit of the party with a partner in crime looking like this.

Y’all know where this dog costume would fit in at. You guessed it, at a Trekkie convention. lol

Last but not least, the hot dog dog costume. You can’t go wrong with this. There is no one on the planet that won’t get this joke.

Road Trip For Ralphie DVDs – A Christmas Story Fan MUST

Posted on May 8, 2012 by rgeczi

Recently, my wife and I watched the movie “A Christmas Story” for the first time. It’s a pretty old movie, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It turned out to leave quite an impression on us, so we decided to check online about the movie, as to what people thought about it, and behind the scenes stuff. Well, little did we know that we would find such a pleasant surprise.

No, it’s not someone simply selling A Christmas Story t shirts to people. I am talking about a couple of fans who decided to take a roadtrip to find out which locations the film was shot, and other great behind the scenes tidbits. They found so much information that they decided to make a trip of it to go visit the actual sites, and talk with some of the people who worked on that movie. We are talking a good 25 years after the movie was made, so for them to find so much information about various stuff was pretty remarkable. But, can these fans put all that together nicely in a DVD set to show other fans of the Christmas story movie? Below is my review.

I visited their website so I can purchase the DVD’s, and what I found was even better. They made online files available for people to purchase for those that didn’t want to go the DVD route. This was perfect for me because at the moment I am in China, and getting DVD’s into here is a pain. So, this was a HUGE plus. At first I tried to pay for the online copies of their documentary, but it wasn’t setup right. After contacting them via email, they worked out the kinks.

So, I proceeded to purchase the files via Pay Pal and downloaded all 18 or so MP4 files. In addition to the MP4 files, they included a PDF I think of the area locations or whatnot. Well, off I went, to view A Christmas Story through these guys’ eyes. It started off a bit weird because they filmed Jordie (girl of the pair) in front of a green background, and I thought I would be in for a “long long journey”, and not in a good way. I really didn’t have high hopes for it at that point to be honest. But wow, did things turn around after that.

Piece by piece, they uncovered all the behind the scenes stuff that most fans of the Christmas Story probably wanted to know more about, such as which school they filmed at, the back story of the “sexy leg lamp”, and other stuff. They did it with humour and genuine care for the movie. They talked with people who worked on the movie, as well as some fans. Some of the places they went to changed quite a bit since the movie was shot, but other places look relatively the same, which was nice to see.

In the end, I just fell in love with these two fans. They did a great job of telling the story from a fan’s point of view, and I am assuming they did it as their first ever documentary about anything. So, that was pretty amazing. They looked so natural in front of the camera, which was good because I wouldn’t want to watch all 18 MP4′s with a couple of hacks blabbering on without any real sense of direction or whatnot. lol

For the price of 13CAD, you can’t beat it. This price will get you the online files for their documentary, all neatly bundled on a page for you to download. Also, part of the proceeds will go to a great organization for abused women. Everyone is a winner, with the purchase of the Road Trip For Ralphie doc. To be honest, I think this doc. is worth a lot more, and I would have gladly paid double to get it, so Jordie and Tyler really are being generous in more ways then one. Hats off to them for that.

Before you go to their site to purchase the Road Trip For Ralphie doc, I want to let you all know there is a hidden “gem” inside the movie. It was SO hilarious and I am glad they didn’t edit it out. It happened when they went to interview the vehicle wrangler for the Christmas Story movie. So, after watching their documentary, come back to my site to let me know what you thought about it. It was a hoot.

Delicious Hard Crusted Italian Bread Bowl – Yum With a Capital Y!

Posted on May 7, 2012 by rgeczi

Are you a food lover? If so, the pic I am about to show you will puzzle you, possibly horrify you. Puzzle you because one look at this pic you are probably going to think what does that have to do with food, and horrify you, because maybe you think the damn food is being wasted. Before I show you the pic, let me explain a bit what you will see.

If you are a BIG sandwich lover like I am, you probably have searched far and wide for the best sandwich recipe on the net. You probably checked sites mainly focusing on Italian sandwiches, because let’s face it, those are probably the best around. Well, after looking around the net for a good sandwich recipe, I came across a site where they made a bread bowl type sandwich at home, with a few trusted ingredients. It’s not a hard recipe to follow, which makes it all the more reason to try it out.

They use a nice hard crusted Italian bread as their “bowl”, then layer by layer they build the thing up until it’s ready to be topped off with a bread lid. You can put this thing together with your kids, labeling it family time with the two best loves of your life, sandwiches and family.

Without further ado, check out “The Pic” below:

It’s a pretty serious sandwich when one of the pics in the chain of pics involves using free weights. lol Horrified yet? Amazed? lol I know, I didn’t know what to think either when I first witnessed this odd display But after continuing on with the bread bowl making process, I noticed why there was a need to do this to the darn sandwich.

So, if you are looking to find a VERY simple recipe on how to make a bread bowl using hard crusted Italian bread, follow the link below:

PopAds.Net Review – Don’t Waste Your Time, TRUST ME!

Posted on May 2, 2012 by rgeczi

After 10USD made from this popads ad network, it’s time to hang it up. This is my review of the pop under ads network PopAds.Net

I started with them probably about a year ago, and just left it running on 8 of my sites. Usually it was doing it’s thing in the background, while I was working on building my sites. I was already with their sister ads website called TrafficRevenue.net, so I thought why not have a go with this pop ads network.

After checking the ad rates I have been getting for my sites, I was left unimpressed. Most of my traffic comes from the US, currently about 85% or so, so I need an ad network that can give me good rates based on that info. PopAds.net doesn’t do this. They have been giving pretty much below 3USD per 1000 impressions, which is lower than what I currently receive from another ad network. I will talk about it briefly here then post a separate article about them in greater detail.

So, it’s with this, that soon, I will bid farewell to PopAds.net, and hello to PopOnClick.com. The rates that they offer are at least 4USD for US traffic, up to around 5USD. That sure beats 3USD dollar rates from Popads. This will be the new “norm” for my sites, and I can’t wait to see the increased revenue coming in.

Just to let everyone know, no I am not affiliated with PopOnClick, and I don’t try to recruit people to their ad network. This is just an honest review of PopAds.net, with a brief mention into my new “go to” pop under ads network.

On a closing note, let’s do some simple math to finish things here:

PopAds.net = BAD

PopOnClick.com = GOOD

Ostrich Farms in South Africa – Add One More to The Ostrich Vault

Posted on May 2, 2012 by rgeczi

I’m doing as the title says, adding one more post about ostriches to my site. Let me explain.

For the past couple of days, I noticed a sharp jump in visitors to my website. At first, I was pretty surprised, and wanted to find out where it was all coming from. So, I looked at the keywords people were entering into the Google search, and I found “Chris Bosh ostrich” popping up quite a bit. When you think about that keyword without any real explanation, you would probably think it was a SERIOUS typo. You’d be wrong though.

A while back, I posted about NBA player Chris Bosh from the Miami Heat looking like an ostrich. I found a pic from the net that showed him in different poses, looking like…yes, an ostrich. It was SO hilarious, and people also felt the same, hence all the hits. Check it out for yourself if you don’t believe me:

http://robertgeczi.com/uncategorized/nba-player-chris-bosh-ostrich

So, I thought to myself, if people are coming to my site because of that keyword, why not ride the wave a bit longer, by posting about ostriches again. This time, it wouldn’t be about Chris Bosh. I pretty much eeny meeny miney mooed it, and chose “Ostrich farms in South Africa”. When I entered that into Google, I got some pretty interesting looking pics pop up. One struck me as totally odd and hilarious at the same time was a woman riding a darn ostrich. Yes, riding an ostrich.

I’ve heard about people doing this, but I never saw it with my own eyes. Seeing as though I don’t plan on going to South Africa anytime soon, I thought this would be the best shot I had of seeing someone ride an ostrich. I took in the beauty of the photo, and decided to post it on my website. Look below:

That lovely lady on the ostrich is Brita. And no, I know what you are thinking. She is NOT the water filter. She visited an ostrich farm in South Africa and took a snap while she was riding one. Saddle up, baby! Go check out her site via the link below, for a ton of other holiday pics she took while traveling the globe.

Bosh Vs Ostrich = Bostrich! You Heard It Here First!

Posted on April 29, 2012 by rgeczi

I don’t know what the heck spurred all the hits to my site regarding Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh, but it is surely welcome. The article of mine that is getting all the hits can be found here:

http://robertgeczi.com/uncategorized/nba-player-chris-bosh-ostrich

The article contained a photo of Chris Bosh in various “poses” if you will, that closely resemble an ostrich. I found the pic online a while ago, so I re-posted on my site. Since I did that, a steady stream of visitors came to see the freak show they call Chris Bosh. When I say freak show, I mean whenever he opens his mouth, he seems to channel an ostrich, and that is freaky, my friends. Truly freaky. How many of us can say we look like a zoo animal? lol

Well, in the spirit of putting athletes, and people in general, side by side to see the resemblance to animals, we hope to spur a “tebow-like” viral sensation such as the tebowing stuff that went around before. So, if you have any suggestions of famous people or athletes that you think resemble each other, please let us know in the comments section. I will then mine the internet for pics that we can put side by side, to see how much of a resemblance there is, then go from there.

This should be fun. Ok, let me know. In the meanwhile, I will try to get my old noggin churning to see what possibilities I can come up with, then post them either in this article, or future articles.

In closing, I would like to thank Chris Bosh for his animal-like features, that gives ordinary netizens a chance to talk about stuff that is pretty much useless in life in general, but oh so amusing. We leave by saying Chris Bosh, we anoint you here at RobertGeczi.com, Bostrich.
