Laser Level Revolution

We got one of them fancy laser levelers the other day at the home improvement store. Heard and seen so much about 'em on TV, we could hardly resist. They set up a nice small area for all the laser level devices, too. Just about every major brand has a laser level offering, so we just picked one out of the pile. It has an LCD readout and built-in stud detector (though I believe it's broken, as it never senses that I'm around). I don't hang things that often, but when I need them to line up, the laser leveler will definitely come in handy. However, the one we chose doesn't have a suction cup. Instead, it relies on pins that you must manually remove and stick into the wall – not the easiest or most intuitive way, IMHO. Maybe all the laser level tools are built that way?

See, the laser leveler worked well here.

Here, as well. However, as the third image illustrates, someone forgot to use the laser level thingy earlier:

I know you're not supposed to point the laser level's laser directly into your eye but I can't help myself. It's not like gur fhpxre jvyy qnzntr zl rlrfvtug. Bbcf! Bu obl.

I got one of them laser level doo dads a couple christmas' ago. It works well. You could say it's really 'on the level'. It really straightened me out. My wife was tired of crooked pictures so she drew the line. Sometimes they're awkward to hook to the wall but you have to stick with it. Speaking of doo dads, if you turn a box of “Doo Dads” snack mix upside down in the store then you can say “Oh hey look, they have “Spap Oop” which is always fun.

Spap Oop is an old Rich Hall gag.
You know, guy from not necessarily the news – Sniglets – pronounced Rich Hall style schhniglitsch.
I love spunow candy bars. (look at it upside down)
Got my laser level this christmas.. cheap one.. but fun to tease the dogs and cats with.
Maybe I'll hang some pictures.
