Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding...we have a winner. I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant posting this. But, then I freely admit that I would absolutely butcher Mandarin Chinese. For instance, I have no clue how to properly say "General Tso's Chicken."
Technically Taiwan is part of China. They officially call themselves the Republic of China. The island managed to stay independent from Mao's communist mainland.
Very true. Taiwan says they're China...China says Taiwan is China. In our lifetime, I bet we see Taiwan invaded. I know...I'm such a buzz kill. But, seriously, I remember when "Made in China"=Crap. Not so much anymore.
It's crazy the amount of things made by China and some places. I'm trying to think Al but just like Mark I'm doing so with some severe apprehension in place.
Ah, but they don't say "Made in..." so clearly this means the clamps were made by a company named China. (Of course, it's probably a Mexican company. We don't make anything here.)
Oh yes, I was cursing like a sailor when I opened the UPS package. It only made my cramps worse. And I once dated a guy who boycotted all products made in China. This meant he had one set of clothes and never bought (me) a damn thing. And, since you got me started, I had to replace a Toyota part today. This involves two steps and at least a week's wait because the parts are made in...Japan. Seems everything but Prius parts are made in China.
It is hard to find good Australian made stuff guess it must be the same finding good Americian made stuff the Chinese make so much shit now days.........
These would be the tools of Dr. Mengele OB-GYN... --------- China just didn't start making all this stuff to export to us out of the clear blue sky. The mfg. processes were shipped to them by greedy people here who for some reason, can never get rich enough. In MHO, that is...
Tell me about it! Did a post on this in 2011-GOLD STICKER SHOCK! Everything I picked up had a gold effin' sticker that said "Made in China". Whenever I come across those now I peel them off and throw them away. I try really hard now to buy Made in USA which is probably really made of materials made in China. You can't win! And the quality is crap! China is out for world domination. This is when the apocalypse is going to happen. I better get my "Made in China" backpack, survival gear, and flashlight ready!
First it was "Made in Japan"...now those things are highly collectible. Don't tell me shit made in China is going to be the next valuable commodity!
Let's see.......clamps, menstrual cramps, china.... clamps vs cramps?????? Jeez, you are winning. the score is 2 to zip.

Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes go for the cheap laugh.
Deletehmmm hmmmm hmmmm clamping things down to avoid children? best I got haha
ReplyDeleteManzanita scored a hit. Although I'll try the kid one.
DeleteI'm thinking about it but I really don't want to. They don't make EVERYTHING. Some things are still made in Taiwan.
ReplyDeleteTechnically Taiwan is part of China. They officially call themselves the Republic of China. The island managed to stay independent from Mao's communist mainland.
DeleteVery true. Taiwan says they're China...China says Taiwan is China. In our lifetime, I bet we see Taiwan invaded.

ReplyDeleteYou know the funny thing I found in Macy's which ISN'T made in China? China. It was made in Luxembourg. I know. Go figure.
DeleteAh, but they don't say "Made in..." so clearly this means the clamps were made by a company named China. (Of course, it's probably a Mexican company. We don't make anything here.)
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that. :-)
DeleteSo China is "literally" putting the squeeze on us!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S good!
DeleteOh yea, clamp one of those bad boys on a uterus and you can forget about a cramp fo' sho!!!!
ReplyDeleteOr an ovary.
DeleteYeesh!
Yeah... I'm not going there.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to those matters, I prefer to avert my eyes.
DeleteObviously, you didn't find these at Walmart.
ReplyDeleteThey are pushing for people to buy Made in America. Which coming from Walmart, I find hilarious.
Well, apparently, nobody is buying the American-made toothbrushes, deodorant, or back hair shavers.
DeleteThe fact that there is such a thing as back hair shavers concerns me.
DeleteAnd that's for the women.

ReplyDeletexoRobyn
Except the china.
DeleteI thought those things were old fashioned penis pumps.
ReplyDeleteI swear they're not mine.
DeleteAre those medieval torture instruments? I never realised the Chinese were so advanced, I thought they used sharpened bamboo sticks.
ReplyDeleteImagine if they were placed on your testic...oh, great googli moogli, no thanks.
DeleteMore proof that China is taking over everything. We're all doomed.
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably work on thumbs if needed, too.
DeleteI could most certainly relieve my menstrual pain with those. By embedding them in a few skulls.
ReplyDelete^__^
That's why Mrs. Penwasser has no idea where I keep them.
DeleteClamps, cramps Manzanita knows Al-speak. Is it a talent or a curse?
ReplyDeleteJulie
Yeah, that's wicked scary, ain't it?
DeleteThey don't even bother with the made in anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt's understood, I suppose.
DeleteBecause what else could it say, "Hatched in China"?
It is hard to find good Australian made stuff guess it must be the same finding good Americian made stuff the Chinese make so much shit now days.........
ReplyDeleteHey, Snooki's American made.
DeleteUh oh.
You got a point.
I did think about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd now you owe me a drink. :-)
Pearl
It'd be my pleasure. We should meet somewhere in between. Indiana?
DeleteThese would be the tools of Dr. Mengele OB-GYN...

I think you've put your finger on it....
DeleteJust don't put it in a clamp.
