"Veg-O-Matic" ? are you kidding me ? now you're just making stuff up. that sounds like a spoof commercial from the 60's.

wow, i'll keep that in mind ! i admit, when i googled them, i checked on a price comparison site and while there were some around 15$ (probably without a guard...) a lot of them were much more, i think i saw one or two over 200$ !!

ah, the adventures of working freelance... why was the luxurious hotel night horrid ?? i thought luxury is supposed to be pleasant !
