Help Wanted: Where We Post, What U Send

Josh ‘The Hammer’ man writes: The band Teapacks was selected to represent Israel at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland in May. For those who aren’t in the know, Eurovision is the most prestigious song competition in Europe, and several hundred million people watch it every year.

Even though Israel is not geographically part of Europe, it is still eligible to participate because its national broadcasting service, the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA), is a member of the European Broadcasting Union.

Yeah, but come on Josh, Eurovision gots nothin’ on American Idol…

While the internet, the Big Mac, and “Mmm…Bop!” have made it here over the years, somehow this futuristic cleaning device made a left turn around Cyprus and lost its way. To compensate for this horrible loss, Israelis have developed their own system of cleaning floors. I call this process “complete insanity”. Let me walk you through it. Take my hand and let’s explore it together!

1) First, you must clear your bedroom of any objects which might possibly touch the floor. Beds, dressers, 800 pound gorillas…it don’t matter! GET IT OUT! A fun alternative is to just leave your stuff there, allowing the possibility that it might get drenched later.

2) Next, you fill a bucket with soap and water. We’re on a roll.
