How I Will Spend My $5

As it is known worldwide, it is currently playoff time in the NHL, and it is down to the final two teams; the BEST two. Sorry, but I lost faith in the Canucks when they lost in the clutch moment to qualify for playoffs. Now that the season is almost over, and the final series is well underway, it is evident that both the Red Wings and the Penguins are both in the same boat right now. They both would love to claim the prize; the Stanley Cup. Even though the series seems a bit one sided at the moment, the Pens will prevail and take the win. Yet there are still people who believe that the Wings are going to roll through and own the league (like they could have done for the past ten or so years, but were easily eliminated in the early rounds), aka Evan Frymire. He still puts his hope in the "Number 1" team, and I have stayed loyal to the only team that matters, the Penguins. Out of this little rivalry between Evan and I, we have made a friendly cash waver, and will have beaking rights for a few short months. After Pittsburgh wins, I will hold out my hand and claim my $5 prize that I have so eagerly deserved while the Pens claim their prize along with me (The Cup). The instant I claim my cash reward, I will purchase a Slurpee, a bag of chips and possibly some bubble gum, and I will brag to Evan how the Wings were up in the series and choked. I'm just trying to say is that the Pens will win and finally Robert and I will brag to everybody who didn't believe in miracles. This is their year, and I will brag how I never lost hope in them.

Top 3: Desk Designs

Throughout all mankind, one invention has always been needed and used everyday. No matter where in the world and no matter what job people have, it is one of the most popular pieces of furniture. Everyday, people are striving to come up with a new design that will make big bucks in the market, and something innovative that keeps up with our modern style today. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am reviewing the Top 3 Desk Designs.

Number 3: French Empire Style Desk http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11843528/French_Empire_Style_Desk_W_Matching_Chair.jpg
This desk is the most common, and most basic type of desk. First used in the King Charles era, this is considered one of the most popular styles of all desks. Other designs base their structure on this blueprint because of the four leg design, only because it provides a large amount of support for the belongings that dwell upon it. Although it is it a classic, I have ranked it third due to the fact of how old it is.

Number 2: Scooter Desk http://www.geekologie.com/2007/10/19/desk-with-wheels.jpg
Being an innovative society, the Scooter Desk was a "slow catch", yet late in 2006, big companies finally caught on to the idea. Hitting big in the market later the next year, it was a must have, and it soon became the number one selling desk in the USA. Providing both a workspace, and a way of transportation, it was modifided later with an electric engine and was street legal. When seniors got a hold of these desks, they were quickly (very quickly) dissmissed, and were taken off the market.

Number 1: Mini-Desk http://www.uncrate.com/men/images/2007/02/mini-desk.jpg
There is no way possible to say how amazing this desk is. Obviously designed by a British person with way too much time on their hands, it was a huge hit. Only being sold to people who could afford it, people would go to great lengths to get their hands on this desk. Some people sold kidneys, others sold their hearts (who died almost right after making the trade for the desk), and others even sold their genitals. All I will say is that these people later regreted their first desicion, and lived the rest of their life in suffering; yet they still had the desk as a reminder.

There you go, I have briefly described the Top 3 Desk Designs, and I hope it will encourage you to expand your range of modern designs and styles. Have a nice day.
