Anyone else sick of seeing Will Ferrell’s movie commercials every 5 minutes on seemingly every single fukkin’ channel on TV? I swear I just wanna throw something at the tube every time I see that goofy looking mug. I was practically driven insane with the Talladega Nights commercials and now it’s for the Blades of Glory movie. If I had a frikkin’ nickle for every one of those commercials I watched I would be a rich man! I think he’s only mildly funny in his movies and I actually hated him when he was on Saturday Night Live, does he really deserve so much damn promotion? Maybe they think if you’re told often enough that he’s funny, you’ll actually start believing it, like subliminal advertising or sumshit. Die bastard DIE! …or at least get off my damn TV.

Anyway, on to something that pisses me off even more! LOL I just had lunch at the local Wendy’s hamburger joint and I decided to “dine in” because I know it’s air conditioned (it’s hot as hell here) and I felt like relaxing for a few. I sit down to eat and I hear what I thought was a talk radio show on the speaker system, I know they usually play music. After a few minutes I realized I was being bombarded by a continuous loop advertisement for Direct TV.

That’s right, a continuous talk show espousing all the “wonderful” benefits of signing up for Direct TV and not only that, but how to trouble shoot your system if it ever stops working, how to use the remote, plug it in to the wall, how to clean the dish, who to call to upgrade existing service and on and on and fukkin’ ON till I wanted to kill someone. Too bad they didn’t tell me who I needed to go “postal” on to make it STOP!! BASTARDS! I started to complain to the manager but decided that it would be more fun to write about it on my blog and of course make up my own Wendys logo! Take that, bitches! Yeah, I know, griping about how lousy fast food restaurants are and how much they SUCK ASS has been a recurring theme around here. But, dammit, fast food ain’t cheap, it’s just convenient, does the service and the experience have to be so shitty?

This same Wendys had their “dining room” completely remodeled lately with all new fixtures, carpet and seating. It’s nice, but what cracks me up is they have a sign next to the building bragging about the new interior and that you should “See It Inside!” Well, DUH you stupid dumbasses, where else would we freekin’ see it, out in the damn street, …on the roof maybe? Whatever…

Now for something good! My friend Joe over at East Coast Gourmet liked his new blog that I designed for him so much that he sent me an awesome dinner of lobster tails, lobster bisque, clam chowder and crackers and even threw in a couple of desserts as a bonus! He Fedex overnighted it to me and everything was ‘tres delicious! He uses his blog to put up recipes for all kinds of tasty sounding New England delicacies, you should check it out. And of course you can order just about anything delivered from the website. Thanks Joe, it was much appreciated!

Now for something even better!! Lisa has been cracking me up for the past few weeks with a little song she sings to me, to remind me that I only have X number of chemo injections left, how cool is that! Tomorrow I take my very last injection out of a weekly series that I started last JUNE!! Yeah, this shit’s been going on forever! I guess I was whining a bit about how shitty it made me feel a few weeks ago and she started singing that I only had three more injections to try to cheer me up. Then last week it was two more, then this week it was one more. You get the picture. Tomorrow she said she’ll be singing “No More Injections” LOL Very cute! Thanks sweetheart!!

That’s all I got! Hope you guys have a killer-diller weekend!~!

Taco Bell is very good at making up “new” products from the ingredients that they already have on hand in their stores, but sometimes I have to wonder how the hell did they come up with the names and the combination of ingredients? I don’t speak spanish so I have no idea if there are actual words like enchirito, chalupa, gordita and many others that they use. I thought it would be fun to make up a few of my own that I’m pretty sure would get rejected. So here we go with a list of most likely to be rejected Taco Bell products:

• Zesty Diarito
• Cheesy Douchealada
• Runny Crapalupa
• Crusty Pusadilla
• Spicy Ratarito Supreme
• Grilled Beef and Lice Burrito
• Baja Lizard Crunchwrap
• Bean, Beans, Beans and More Beans and Spam Taco

Can you think up more?

To be fair though I actually like Taco Bell and I eat there when I can. Those new steak taquitos are very good! I stopped by their website to try to win a $1000 dollar survey drawing (I didn’t win) from my register receipt and came across this thing where you can make your own little comedy bit. It asks you a question and you try to type in a funny reply and then it plays it back “on stage”.

I tried it several times and it seems like no matter what you reply, the audience is silent and thinks your joke sucks. The other lion always gets all the laughs, bastard! Maybe you guys can check it out and see if you can coax a laugh out of it. You can find it here at The Carne Asada Improv. You can even embed it on your blog like I did below. I thought surely my joke would get a ton of laughs but it fell on it’s face. Check it out below and see what you think. Make sure your sound is up!
 

Hope you enjoyed the show!

I generally like Papa Johns pizza and have ordered deliveries from them in the past, there’s one just about a half mile from here. I tried to order one last week using their online service and after waiting patiently for an hour thinking it would arrive any minute, I received an email stating my order had been canceled. No explanation why, just that the order couldn’t be “processed”. I ended up getting take out from someplace else.

Last night I got a craving for pizza again after seeing a Papa Johns TV ad for some new “special” I decided to order again, this time I would call the store directly to make sure it went through. I looked up the number, called and the girl answers “Hello?” like as though it wasn’t even a business, maybe a residence. After asking “Is this Papa Johns?” She replied it was but then I got disconnected so I called right back. This time she answers “Papa Johns, can you hold?” I reply “No I got disconnected just a minute ago” at which point I get disconnected AGAIN!

By now frustration is setting in so I take a few breaths and call back, this time she asks for my order. I explain that I want that special and she tells me I’m wrong, there was no such special, the pizza I was trying to order was a few dollars more and it’s all spoken in ridiculously bad “ghetto speak” to the point where I have to repeatedly ask her what she said. She ends up arguing with me over the whole thing like I don’t know what I’m talking about. My argument got me no where.

I say, “Fine, forget it, I’ll just order something else instead” , but the moment I say the words “forget it” this stupid asshole slams the phone down on me and hangs up! WTF??? Now I was furious and I drove down there to confront someone in person, I walk in and ask for the manager. I explained to him what happened and he acted like it was no big deal! He did apologize and that he would have a “talk” with her but his tone of voice gave me the impression that he really didn’t give a shit. I was pretty angry by now, I figured at this point he would at least make some kind of attempt to please me but i got no satisfaction whatsoever.

When I got back home I decided to look if there was some way to complain online about their truly shitty services and there was a web form. A ridiculously loooong form that asked me just about everything about myself except for my frikkin’ shoe size. But what really got me was the extremely tiny space they give you to write in the actual complaint, barely room for 4 or 5 words!

Here’s my take on their stupid web form. After these 2 experiences, I seriously doubt if I’ll ever order from them again!

On the good news front, I now have only 3 more weekly chemo injections left to endure. How cool is that? I’ll finally be able to get my life back to some form of “normalcy”, whatever the hell that means. LOL After 4 years of illness I’m having a difficult time remembering what my life used to be like! I’m just happy the end is in sight and I’ll be able to move on without having so many health issues on my back! I’m not going to know how to act! Woohoo!

Here’s another one in my series on wacky statues from around the world.

Got Milk?

Have a good weekend!

Yeah, it’s a house blog warming party and you’re all invited! I haven’t had a chance to finish the decorating though, this is another one of my freebie blog templates, it’s ported to work with both Blogger and Wordpress. I’ll get around to it soon though! I’m amazed that I was able to import not only all my Blogger posts, but I was able to import all 6,000 or so Haloscan comments from the past 2.5 years as well. The amazing part is that all the comments know which post they originally went to!

I’m not happy that the weather here has been so fair that I’m already having to cut the frikkin’ grass. I can’t think of much that I loathe doing more than lawn and garden work. What’s really got me pissed off though, is that the 1.5 year old riding mower became crippled yesterday thanks to the chintzy assed, shoddy construction of a SEARS Craftsman machine that cost $1200!!! The front wheel rims are made of PLASTIC! This thing weighs 350 pounds and then you put a rider on it that is likely to average 200 pounds or even more and you can see why plastic wheels just MIGHT be a fukkin’ problem… duh, you think?

 
The center hubs on both front wheels are so badly damaged the wheels are just about to fall off, Sears is really gonna hear about this!

Here’s another wacky bronze statue that really cracked me up, it looks like a guy juggling babies! I don’t think I really wanna know where the right foot is going…

That’s just wrong! Hey you big oaf, why don’t you pick on somebody your own size!

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you guys have a great weekend! Weeeee!!

I’ve been playing around with a web surfing program that’s highly addicting called Stumble Upon. Weird name, but fun to use. You have to install a small tool bar to your browser that allows you to click “next” and it will send you randomly to different websites in categories of your choosing. Sounds kind of dumb I know and I was very skeptical but I’ve come across tons of cool websites out there, stuff you never knew existed. Once you start it’s hard to stop!

Users get to add their favorite sites and everyone that stumbles on that site behind them gets to vote thumbs up or thumbs down, right from your browser. You can even choose different channels as you surf. They have communities and you get your own pages that list all your own favorited sites and you can mark people as friends or contacts based on your personal interests. I found out that it works much better with Firefox, I found several issues using it with IE 7. Give it a try, you’ll like it!

Here’s a couple of photos of a bronze statue that I stumbled on recently, that made me go WTF??? That’s just crazy! I think it’s in Denmark.

You would never see anything like that in the USA! I could just imagine an artist proposing something like that to the local city council. “You’ll be able to see WHAT??? And you want us to pay for it??? Get out the tar and feathers!!!! LOL

I’m thinking about my moving my blog again and finally going over to Wordpress with my own domain. Hell, I might as well, I’ve got 6 different Wordpress installations running right now but half of them are used for designing templates for customers. I’ve been on Blogger now for about 2.5 years and I’ll miss it, it’s been a pretty decent home for the most part and I’ve made a lot of great friends here as well. It does have it’s aggravations and annoyances though. I’ve even bought a name that I like and it’s already hosted, in fact I now own 8 different domain names for my various web endeavors. The only problem is finding the time to get it set up and build a new design. Eventually!

Hope you guys are having a good weekender!
