Sorry for the absence

I've been away from this blog for almost a month. I also realized that it's hard to drive traffic top a site if there is no new content. So I will be making a concerted effort to update this blog more frequently. As I have mentioned in earlier posts, this is my "try things out" blog. I write for several other on-line sites that are more serious in tone. This site gives me the opportunity to try things and just have fun. If something works I incorporate it into my other writing. If it fails, no one but the minuscule audience of this blog knows about it.
I'll be doing a bit of traveling over the next couple of months, so I'll be able to add some amusing travel stories and photos. Because, after all, you have to be amused by airline travel these days.

Things that make you go "Hmmmm"

Have you seen the television commercial for the Gyro kid's bowl? It's actually pretty cool. In the commercial they turn the bowl all manner of directions and the dry cereal, or whatever is inside, doesn't fall out. They turn the handles upside down, but the Gyro bowl stays in place. Nothing falls out. At the end of the ad the announcer mentions that the Gyro Bowl comes with a cover. So my question is, if it's impossible to spill anything why do you need a cover?

Please prepay

Am I missing something here? Doesn't prepaying always have to be in advance?

More new stuff for this blog

I'm trying out another new feature. Blogger gives us the opportunity to add additional pages to our blog sites. So I have added a page to post some of the funny photos I have found and/or taken. These are located at the tab above called "Fun Photos". Try it out and let me know what you think.

Our own Super Bowl commercial

Pepsi had a contest to produce a commercial for the Super Bowl. You could either make a spot for Pepsi Max or Doritos. Judges picked the Top 10 and then the public voted on the top 6 that will be aired during the Super Bowl. We made a commercial for Pepsi Max that was a parody of the old Pepsi Challenge. Apparently the judges didn't get it, because we didn't make the Top 10. Watch the Pepsi Max that are in today's Super Bowl broadcast and see if you think this one is better.

Read the sign carefully


This is a sign from a display at a local grocery store. How exactly does a Duraflame log become Bilingual? I didn't even know they could speak English.
