This week Dara and I talk about some of our biggest pet peeves: things that don't work.
The list is long and includes street sweeping and Sea Monkeys, the hot wax cycle at the car wash and x-ray glasses, getting back together with your ex and so much more.
Do you have a cautionary tale (those don't work either, by the way) about something that doesn't work? Then please share with the group!

Emergency Broadcast System
I have actually seen it work. We had a tornado last year and while the local news was like "oh yeah btw some tornados have been spotted blah blah blah" then the EBS came on like "BEEEEEP! TORNADO HEADED YOUR WAY!!!! GO TO YOUR BASEMENT NOW!!!"
I had never seen it work before either, but was very glad it did that day because that was a close call.
Those suction cup balls from a quarter machine...
Good list.
Getting back together with your ex never works but most of us still need to break up with the same girl at least twice. Never learn.
The EBS test always happens at like 1:03 a.m., yet I'm always surprised and pissed as if it were the first time.
Also, I really like Dara's shirt.
Other things that don't work
Hair cuts...
Favorite Show
This was one of my favorite shows. You girls were so sharp and quick.
We even had sea monkeys in the 50's.

There's so much that doesn't work
As always very true and very funny. I can't help thinking of more:
- E-Z bake ovens: The stuff I made was always burned on one side and mushy inside.(well of course what did I expect from a 5watt bulb? Still it was always dissapointing). As a kid I was always changing the recipe trying to get it right,and never did.
- F.B.I anti-piracy warnings, sorry men in black. Also, those tags that have a warning: don`t tear off! like on pillow cases. Why?
-Skin colored cream to cover-up pimples, it just adds a gross brown colored, pasty gook which mostly sticks to the surronding area of the offending facial spot.

One more thing that doesn't work...
...falling for a straight girl. You might think/hope she's flirting and interested. But really, deep down you know it's not going anywhere. Just give up while you're ahead.
Other than that, I think you've covered most things that don't work. Thanks for the very funny 13.49 minutes, you've made my sick-day a whole lot better :)
And of course kudos on the invention of guitar-drumming and guitar-tooth-playing (?). I wouldn't be surprised if it's the next big thing for rockbands.
It does work...kinda
good show
More things that don't work:
The Snoopy Snow Cone Machine my siblings and I had when we were young. It took 7lbs of ice to make one damn snowcone and by the time you filled the cup you were pissed you didn't have anymore ice for the carpal tunnel you received trying to shave that stuff.
Insincere apologies don't work because people can tell when you're still being an ass.
Airbags don't work because they either go off when they shouldn't and you get third degrees burns or a concussion or you hit a car head on and they don't deploy and you still get the damn concussion.
Windbreaker jackets...they are never wind or water resistant and the coolest thing about them is that you could fit the whole damn jacket in your pocket.
