Are you one of the contestants on Top Chef?

I am that guy who sells Kaboom!(tm).

OK, then! Now that that is cleared up...a couple of tips for you:
get away from the guy that sells "Just for Men" because, dude, that solid brown hair and beard combo has the density of a black hole. Some highlights, a grey hair or two or three, something. That stuff just sucks in all available light and doesn't look *younger* it looks *dyed*

Also, voice modulation: look into it.  The shouting monotone is very off putting.

Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess.

I rather like the the Kaboom! guy.  He's is a great successor to Ron Popeil.  However, nothing will ever top the Pocket Fisherman as the best gadget ever.

Ah, yes. My husband has always been entertained by the 1980s commercial for the "love toliet" (during the Victoria Jackson years).  Me?  "Happy Fun Ball!"  ("do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!")

I always intend to do work, but find I cannot cope with the cramped environment nor the noise. So I usually wind up watching movies and television on my iPod.
