Sep 3 2009New And Improved: The Bookmark II
I typically use a gum wrapper or dog-ear the pages to mark my place in a book, but hey, a glorified rubber band, that's cool.
The Bookmark II is a simple rubber band with an arrow on one side and a "Bookmark" tab on the other. The arrow allows you to point to the line you were last reading and the tab to open the book up to the appropriate page. It's simple.
If you'll notice, the arrow in the picture is pointing to a line with a dirty word. That's subliminal advertising! It's working too, I just ordered a hundred. I'm gonna wear them like LIVESTRONG bracelets!

FINALLY!!! Neon colored cock-rings big enough to circumvent the monsters that lie lurking between the legs of some of us mildmannered gents. Ok...so I may have to twist it like once or twice...just sayin.

I wonder what book that person is reading, my guess is Naughty Cheerleaders 3: Look at these Pompom's
19. DarthVal - September 3, 2009 2:13 PM
...or you could just get an oversized rubberband and make a mark on it with a sharpie. This just might be the stupidest invention ever.

LMAO ILY.
23. beenagirl - September 3, 2009 6:05 PM
I used to rip out the page I was on. It is a far too complicated system. And the library wasn't very happy with me.
24. J - September 4, 2009 12:59 AM
Why does it need an arrow to show the line you were up to? Don't normal people just finish the page??? What the hell interupts you so quickly you dont have time to finish the page (let alone stick a rubber band round it and position the arrow to the correct spot). Holy "how many kids would stick this round their neck and choke themselves" Batman, its the bat signal. Quick Robin, to the buttmobile, i mean assmobile, oh hell you know, that thing downstairs that goes vroom vroom and shoots flames out the back dammit! But first, my bookmark if you please..(cause im just up to the bit where Edward is taking Bella to meet his family)....
