Worse than Bernie & Phyl's "quality, comfort and price...that's nice!" with the cheesy fake trumpets played on an 80s era keyboard?? I doubt it!!

Well, yes. What, you thought Jesus was the most important entity ever? Nope. It's Clara.

(I'm assuming she's the chick who drove over her husband multiple times.)

True, but the originator of them all, we ought to note sadly, has passed.

"I'm Ernie Boch. Come on down!"

Bernie & Phyl don't annoy me as much as Dean. They're like you're sweet, well-meaning, elderly Aunt and Uncle and they aren't on the air as much. Dean, he's just an annoying Mass-hole with the bad accent trying to sell you cheesy furniture sets.

Bernie & Phyl are also an institution, right up there with the old Jordan's radio commercials, "Left on Spitbrook, right on Daniel Webstah."

The single worst commercial currently airing is the White's metal detector ad on OLN:

"My wife said I needed a healthy hobby. She's proud of the weight I've lost, and she's really proud of THIS (holds up ugly diamond ring)."

True Confessions
 

Exactly.

Note that when I first talked about feeling safer, I referred to DEFENSIVE driving. It is precisely because you can't control the all the yahoos on the road that I want to be in something that comes as close as possible to approximating the sturdiness of a tank.

What exactly did I say that made you think I believe that feeling safer in a sturdier, heavier car gives me license (ha ha -- I kill me!) to drive like a maniac?

Bad driving is no laughing matter. Do you actually know people who think driving unsafely/drunk is funny?

"gotta go gotta go gotta go right now"

So true. Also - the "I'm Gellin' like a felon" from Dr. Scholl's makes me bang my head and wonder what idiot actually got paid to come up with that one.

Well, as a matter of fact, I do use it to pull a horse trailer, but didn't feel the need to advertise. What's more, I have yet to see the minivan that would hold the dog cage. Also, in the winter, my area gets big snow -- I can just see the minivan getting stuck in it (aren't they really low to the ground?) and ruining the day.

Wow; that's deep. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, but you misspelled "the gellin' commercial."

"Are you gellin?"

"Like a felon."

"That guy is so not gellin'."


Editted to note that my secretary has been doing all my real work ahead of all the FB posts, and that I might have to have a talk with her. Or just not give her anything for Christmas and then print out this page.

I don't know whether you all get the Avacor commercial, with Dr. something or other - "Stop hair loss from ruining your life!!". Anyway, last week Dr. something or other and I jaywalked together (he was my buffer).

Um - I think you mean me.

More than two.

True Confessions
 

Wasn't there someone on here who was talking about his or her car and noted that it only had a few dings and scratches, and it was all stuff that he or she had hit, run over, bumped into, etc.?

And, yes, I think that people do joke about driving badly a lot. I have experienced this several times, usually in a situation like this:

1: I bought a new car.

2: What kind of car?

1: An SUV.

2: Why did you buy that car?

1: It makes me feel safe. It is big. People get out of my way now. People now that if they got into an accident with me that they would be hurt more than I would be hurt. People in little cars are scared of me now.

Maybe this isn't joking about driving badly per se, but it's certainly in the subtext.

And I am sure that I will catch hell about this, but I don't think that the obsession over getting people driving with .08, .09, or even .10 or .11 BACs is that sensible. Sure, you are less abled in that state. So are you less abled at .06, which is still legal. Most of the deaths and injuries from drunk drivers have always been from severely drunk (>.15 BAC) people, who often have multiple convictions and have had problems for years. Busting someone at .08 just because you can when there are sober assholes endangering us all more (as the case MAY be) smacks of Big Brotherism.

How Would Jesus Watch on TV?
 

You know what blueballs? You're a fucking idiot.

Anyone think it's interesting that the first four BB4 evicted/removed houseguests are the Chicago couple and the Florida couple? Seems like a pattern that's unlikely to continue. Here's the only way it could.
Dana wins the veto, uses it on herself. Alison puts up Robert. Robert gets voted off. Next week, Erika gets voted off.

My pick for Last Comic Standing: Ralphie. Ralphie would have won by more if he'd adopted a low-risk "black people, mexicans, and my life in da hood" routine, but I think his "light 'em up" rant was funny enough to win. Plus, I'd love to see him on his own show, and I think others will too. I could see Tess winning. Cory had a huge advantage by going last and was quite funny. I don't see Rich or Dat winning.

Amazing Race: What more can be said about Jon & Kelly. They are unbelievable. I think Reichen and Chip are going to win, but Jon & Kelly's performance has been really remarkable. David & Jeff suck deez nuts for not eating the live Octopii. They must have been pretty confident it wouldn't be an elimination round. Points off to the show's producers for making it so obvious.

American Juniors: I think the producers will do everything they possibly can to have one of the boys (AJ) win this week. How are they going to sell a band that's got 4 white girls and a small black boy? I don't see it. Put your $$ on AJ.

Paradise Hotel: I hear their ratings are starting to rise. Is this worth watching?

Enough 4 now. Blueballs, you're a fucking moron.
