Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The BK ad gets Meijaed here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hootie singing Western and Brooke Burns (Burke? The brunette) on a swing, all cleavage-y. And then there's the fast food

OH! I have seen these. They air on the Food Network sometimes. They confuse me. (And I don't think it's a gender thing, because my attention was first brought to them when my male co-worker asked me to explain it to him. Apparently being a movie buff means I understand EVERYTHING in the media.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There is a lot of funny commentary about that ad. Here's more: [link]

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's really Hootie.

I thought those were the Carl's ads, which are just nasty.

I have a penis, and therefore uncooked meat, buns still in the bag, and avocados confuse and frighten me.

(Okay, maybe I'm not the best guy to get defensive about those commercials, but even I am not as intimidated by cooking as the guys they show in those commercials.

Huh? I had to look up the lyrics just to make sure that that was indeed what was really said. All the while during this hypnotic trance is a visual bombardment of more cowboys, buxom burger wenches and soft-core porn starlets lusciously devouring chicken sandwiches.

Ok, babe? It's a rewrite of "Big Rock Candy Mountain." Learn your hobo songs.

x-post with Nutty. What I git fer skimmin'

Not having seen the ads in question, I just had a frightening moment of wondering what "buns in the bag" was a euphemism for. Nevermind the uncooked meat and avocados.

Whatever. I do by far most of the cooking in my family.

The stairwell smells like perm and I have noodles on my pants.

"Not my day" doesn't even begin to cover it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Not having seen the ads in question, I just had a frightening moment of wondering what "buns in the bag" was a euphemism for. Nevermind the uncooked meat and avocados.

Me, I was having trouble parsing how "I have a penis" and "uncooked meat" could go into a sentence that did not end in tragedy.
