Say goodbye to a favorite meme

Well, it can't always be good for bubble-heads when a bubble crashes. According to this article on CNN, granite countertops just aren't working out as well as they used to for homeowners.
Now most upscale renovations are returning less than 70% of their cost

So if people stop adding granite countertops all of a sudden, does that mean it's a fad we can no longer mock? If so, I had better get with the mocking while the mocking is good.

I'm trying to sell my car, so I think I'll add granite countertops to improve its value before I put it on the market. </kidding>

    Well, I've also been thinking about adding little granite countertops on the sides of my watch. You know, for a nice accent. And I wanted to resurface my laptop with a granite countertop so it'll look more classy and upscale when it's closed.
  • RCC -- You got it all wrong. Stainless Steel. Not chrome plating. So what if the added weight consumes more fuel. The asset appreciation will go on forever! (snicker). :lol:
  • Don't forget to slap some pergo on the side of your car so that you can advertise it as a "woody" :wink:
  • I'm taking the recommendations to heart. I think I am now leaning towards granite front and rear bumpers, bamboo running boards, and a stainless steel sun-roof. My car is going to be sweet.
