I’m addicted to post-its

 origami post it notes

Funny sticky notes for funny post it note recycling

I have 453 yellow post it notes stuck on my desk.

I’m a busy guy with lots of ideas, and I need to keep track of them somewhere. Most of them are chores for Nigel, some are reminders to pick up eggs, and others are cutting edge ideas I’ve come up with to revolutionize the catalog industry.

We’ve been recycling here at Catalogs.com for awhile now and I’m excited to report that I’ve finally discovered a product that will help me recycle the millions of ideas that filter through my brain, ultimately ending up on post-it after post-it. These Funny Origami Sticky Notes from Delight.com allow me to keep my valuable ideas while creating beautiful origami shapes out of them. And they make great Hannukah gifts!

It’s never too early to start planning your next birthday party. My birthday isn’t until early September, but I already have the theme, the favors and the gourmet carrot cake all picked out. I even put down a deposit on the white pony I’m riding in on {me and Paddy Cake are going to make quite an entrance}. This pretty Princess Birthday Invitation from American Stationery is the perfect invite to set the tone for my pretty, pretty Princess party.

IHop

 hopper balls

This Hopper ball will get you all hopped up for a hopping good time

I love to hop. I rock at hopscotch, I’m obsessed with IHop (and their Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity Specials), and I love to bust out the bunny hop whenever I go clubbing. I even love Hopalong Cassidy and the Sundance Kid…wait, that was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. My bad. Nevertheless, I simply just love to hop. Whenever I get a free chance, I’m in the middle of the floor, hopping around on my very own happy happy fun ball thanks to this addictive Hopper Ball from Fun and Function.

It’s time to play the music

muppet

Muppet characters you create yourself for hours of Muppet fun

We’re all a bunch of Muppet characters here at Catalogs.com:

Amy is as culinary inclined as the Swedish Chef
Trish and her unmarked patriotism bear a striking resemblance to Sam the Eagle
Bryan is our wisecracking, piano playing Rowlf the Dog
Jody is Scooter, always scooting around, filing and performing odd jobs

Linda is the crazy boomerang fish thrower whose name escapes me
Richard and Nigel are Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew respectively
Matt is Animal, and I…
I am the rocking Janice with her long flowing locks and hippie chick vibe.
We still haven’t figured out which character Gina is, so we’re going to Create our very own Muppet Character thanks to FAO.com and their Muppet Whatnot Workshop.

I went to Hawaii and all I got was leid

hawaiian lei

Hawaiian lei flowers say Aloha at your Hawaiian themed shindig

I just spent my Christmas vacation in Mehico (I know it’s Mexico, but I pronounce it Me-Hee-Co). I had a muy bueno time, me and mi amigo José Cuervo. I ate some enchiladas, won a wet t-shirt contest in Cancun, and learned how to say
¿Dónde está la Biblioteca? which means Where is that hot dance club that sells bibles?

Now I’m back in the old US of A and I’m anxious to travel to another far and distant land. I still have some frequent flyer miles left, so I’m going Hawaii or bust. For my Bon Voyage party I want to see hundreds of these Hawaiian lei flowers from Century Novelty everywhere, to prep me for all the leis I’m gonna get once I hit the Pacific.

I love the night life, I’ve got to boogie

disco ball

Shiny disco balls make me a shiny, happy person

My co-workers may not know this, but back in my heyday I used to be a regular at Studio 54. I danced the night away with Mick and Bianca Jagger, John Travolta, Brooke Shields, Michael Jackson and a slew of other A-list celebrities of the late seventies. They called me Nig back then. I was smooth. I did the hustle…and the limbo. I had an afro.

I miss those days gone by, but thanks to Same Day Music I can relive the magic with this Shiny Disco Ball  that I can hang right over my cubicle so I can get down on it and boogie, every time work gets tough or someone pisses me off. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi, I’m Matt

 custom doormat

This Custom doormat gives your visitors a customized hello

Hi, I’m Matt.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I work at Catalogs.com. I wear flip flops to work. I like Smuckers peanut butter. Everyone likes me, not only at work.  Everyone around town knows I’m the Mattster. Everyone in my apartment building knows me, the mailman knows me, even the Chinese food delivery guy knows me. They all know my name because when they come to my door, the first thing they see is this Custom Hi My Name Is Mat Doormat from Catalog Favorites that makes all of my introductions for me.

Make no mis-steak, this marinade rocks

easy steak marinade

Easy steak marinade to perfect your steak eating game

Back in my high school glory days I was quite the basketball hero. As a power forward I’d get nothing but net out there on the court. I can almost hear the cheers that would emanate from the crowd as I hung from the net, legs dangling in the air. My knees aren’t what they used to be, but I still love playing a game of hoops every now and then with my boy and rewarding my fine athletic skills after a brutal game of HORSE with a juicy 24 oz porterhouse steak.

Thankfully, the King of B-ball – the legendary Michael Jordan – brings me mail order steaks fit for a King, as well as all of the proper accoutrements. Michael Jordan Steaks serves up The Ultimate Starting Line up of delicious Steak Marinades with a set of sauces that slam dunk it out of the ball park, every time.
