										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is a wonderful day. <a href="http://www.pennlive.com/sports/patriotnews/index.ssf?/base/sports/120278673260170.xml&amp;coll=1" target="_blank">A casino will open</a> within an hour or so of my house. I don&#8217;t plan on going there anytime soon, and the facility only offers slots, but I still think we should all celebrate.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="http://www.regularguycolumn.com/casino.jpg" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10" />Pennsylvania passed its slots law a while back and turned down the application from a Gettysburg group which wanted to put a slots resort about 20 minutes from my house. That would have rocked, but I didn&#8217;t mind that much.</p>
<p>Now, the <a href="http://www.hcpn.com/" target="_blank">Hollywood Casino</a> at Penn National Race Track will open its doors today. They passed on the opportunity to open quickly with a temporary facility and made us all wait.</p>
<p>Like I said, I don&#8217;t plan on heading up there for a while. I get bored with slots pretty quickly and don&#8217;t know when I will have the time for a two-hour round-trip drive and a few hours to gamble.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s closer to my house than any other gaming facility, which kicks ass, especially since <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07152/790697-85.stm" target="_blank">they might bring table games to PA</a> in a few years.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="http://www.regularguycolumn.com/shammyhome_05.jpg" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="361" height="272" align="right" />I have  trouble sometimes distinguishing between what I want and what I need.</p>
<p>I’m the guy who grabs a candy bar or  magazine or soda or all three while I stand in line at the store.</p>
<p>A lot of times, I regret buying  anything as soon as I hand over my money, but it’s too late. I have tried to  limit my impulse purchases and have actually made progress in recent years.</p>
<p>Then I saw the <a href="http://www.shamwow.com" target="_blank">Shamwow </a>advertised on  TV and all that work went right our the door.</p>
<p>I need this thing.</p>
<p><span id="more-226"></span>In case you haven’t seen the  commercials on TV, Shamwow is “like a towel, chamois and  sponge all in one except it&#8217;s extremely absorbent and can be used over and  over.” At least that’s what the website says.</p>
<p>I sat mesmerized by the things the  cloth did on the commercial. All sensibility went out of my brain.</p>
<p>It’s a good thing they don’t see  Shamwow in stores because I would have at least a dozen now. Having to order via  the phone gave me pause, but now I know I can order online, which is pretty  dangerous.</p>
<p>I also hesitated because I had put  so much work into taking time to know the difference between something I need  and something I want. That debate ended when my wife saw the  commercial.</p>
<p>“We need that,” she said. And if  Maria wants to buy something they advertise on TV, you know they came up with  one of the greatest sales pitches known to man.</p>
<p>So I have her on board, but I  haven’t quite sold her on my idea of laying Shamwows end to end in the basement.  We have gotten rid of a lot of the leaking problems down there, but this would  totally solve it.</p>
<p>According to the commercial, we  could just pick up each Shamwow, wring it out, and lay it back down. The floor  would be perfectly dry even after a heavy rain. I think it’s a genius idea, but  we’ll see if I can ever make it happen.</p>
<p>You would think that we would just  buy the Shamwow and be done with it. But -as they say on these wonderful commercials – that’s not all.</p>
<p>We also need to buy the <a href="http://www.packageshark.com" target="_blank">Package Shark</a>. This great little tool helps you cut through all that stupid hard plastic  that they package so many stinking things in these days. I’ve almost not bought  things in the past just because I knew opening it would take all my  sanity.</p>
<p>We both looked at each other the  first time we saw the Package Shark commercial and agreed we had to have that  thing in our house.</p>
<p>I blame the television writers and  producers for all of this. If they had agreed to a contract, we wouldn’t be  trolling the higher reaches of the digital cable lineup for things to watch. And  that’s where these commercials run most frequently.</p>
<p>Even thinking about these kinds of  things is unlike us. We never watch the shopping channels unless it’s to make  fun of the products and the people selling them. We don’t want  infomercials.</p>
<p>But that’s the power of Shamwow and  the Package Shark. They are more alluring than a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in  the Aisle at the grocery store.</p>
<p>I bet I could open one of those with  a Package Shark. And wipe my mouth with a Shamwow. I can’t wait.</p>
