Ferrell Overload
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!~!

I don’t ever eat at Wendy’s; our local one dries the burgers out so much I don’t know how they stay in business. As bad as their quality control is, the Direct TV advertising scheme doesn’t surprise me a bit; say what you will about McD’s, they have rigorous franchise control and there’s never an issue with how their restaurants will be.
Congrats about being one day from done!! xo
Yes! I’m sick to death of Ferrell.
That sucks about Wendy’s. How tacky is it for a restaurant to subject its customers to a continual commercial?
Yay, Se7en, on the final injection! That’s awesome. I know you’ll be awfully glad to have that behind you.
Totally sick of Ferrell. He’s about as funny as driving nails through my hands.
Off the subject, I looked at your blog skins. Very impressive. Wish I wasn’t poor and could afford to have you design one for my blog. Oh well.
Aw shucks… thanks Se7, I’m blushing
Glad you have enjoyed my semi off-key singing. Last song later, woohoo!
I’m SO happy for you!!!
Hugs x 100.
Oh God I hate Will Ferrell. I never got why people thought he was funny. Of course, there hasn’t been a funny SNL alum for about a decade.
Congrats on finishing the treatment. I’m jealous though. I’d love to have Lisa sing to me, off key or not.
wow, our wendy’s play the country channel which is fucking awful, but I guess it beats listening to that DirectTV bullshit!
I like Will Ferrel, but I don’t find him to be quite as funny as they make him out to be. For example, Bewitched wasn’t funny at ALL.
Dude, you need to seriously consider staying out of fast food joints - though they do make for some good blog fodder!
Congrats on your last injection and best wishes for no more in the future!
As for Ferrell, I think he has one or two funny moments that I can remember but beyond that - ack! I do like Will Arnett who stars in “Blades of Glory” also but not enough to actually go see the thing!
I don’t understand how Ferrell is famous either, but when Paris Hilton can be famouse just for being famous every ole smoh should be able to get famous.
I have not been impressed with Wendy’s lately. But that is how I feel about most fast food restaurants and McRestaurant in general.
Great that you are almost finished with the chemo!
Off topic: I am heading to Laffite LA. Where the fuck is that? LOL..damn Oil field just has to put Oil rigs in far away places.
Lafitte LA. How lafitting.
See, the reason Wendy’s can get away with that is that it’s illegal to shotgun the place. Not immoral, just illegal. Too bad.
I hate Wendy’s almost as much as Will Ferrell. Hope you’re feeling better now.
