Baker's Extreme Fun Ball; A Tale of Desire

He had to have it. It was that simple. Never before, while sitting aimlessly in front of the television did Gilbert see something that he wanted so much. What was it? It was a ball, simply put. To complicate and clarify, it was a Baker's Extreme Fun Ball. There was, quite frankly, nothing else like it. Sure, there's Cathy's Big Ball and Lloydcorp's Grandiosphere, but there was no system of measurement that would possibly compare these inferior products favorably against Baker's Extreme Fun Ball. Gilbert drooled lustfully as the commercial came to a swift conclusion. He decided that he would do whatever it took to acquire this product. However, before he made plans for said acquisition, he decided to contemplate his desire for a while. No doubt, he imagined, such contemplation would make acquisition all the more satisfying. He thought about what he loved most about Baker's Extreme Fun Ball. The color... yes, the color! The BEFB was multicolored! Gilbert always paused and mulled when people asked him what his favorite color was. He never could really decide. This ball was all colors, and illuminated so that you could see them—even in the dark. What else? The 100% roundness guarantee. That's right. Graham Baker Inc. guarantees that every Baker's Extreme Fun Ball will be 100% round, NO EXCEPTIONS. This would provide Gilbert with a sense of security. Is there anything else? Of course there is! The scented surface, the high bounce factor, the catchability rate, and all research done to create the BEFB was animal-friendly. Yes, this was the perfect product. Gilbert knew it and he hadn't even seen it in person. Gilbert looked at the clock—8pm—perhaps he would procure for himself the Baker's Extreme Fun Ball another day.
