Oprah Inventions

My Plan For The Square Pan

Plllt.

I'm likely the only person reading this that watches Oprah with any regularity.  Well, only person who pees standing up.  It's MoSup's fav show, so we watch while we eat (TiVO).  Most of the time I skedaddle after I finish eating, like Wednesday's "victims" show.  This woman had been on before.  She went jogging one morning; returned 20 minutes later to discover that her husband had killed her children, and then himself in an ultimate act of hatred. I don't watch that stuff.  Yesterday was more my style.  Oprah's audience selected from eight finalists the winner of QVC's contest for the best new product invention of 2007.  The first one up was that collapsible square pan.  It pissed me off, at myself.  Every time I use a round spring form cake pan I wish they had square pans that would also open.  I could have invented this deal in a heartbeat, but didn't. As soon as I saw it, I pronounced it the winner.  MoSup wanted to wait for the other 7, but then she too picked the pan.  So did the  audience.  That woman is going to be rich, because even I'll buy one.  Damn.  I coulda been a contender.
