I learned it by watching you, alright

One of my favorite commercials, I keep quoting it lately. So funny, if you can ignore the serious subject matter and be totally shallow and insensitive. Which I can.

Rhia Jean said...: Okay, but do you remember the commercial where the kid is standing outside with his girlfriend waiting on his dad and you can hear his thoughts as he's wondering if his dad forgot to come because he was drinking again? We used to quote that one all the time. Now I have to go to You Tube and see if I can find it.; April 15, 2008 at 7:30 PM

Pet peeves

The expression "kick (my, your, his, her) trash." You've probably NEVER heard that if you aren't mo. It's akin to "kick (my, your, his, her) butt."
Songs that tell a story (esp. ones that start and end with the same sentence, usually of the country genre)
the phrase "as per usual"
that Nicholas Cage Still has a career, should have ended after "Raising Arizona"
the question "what can I do you for?"
the glare of the sun off cars in mid-day
tights with open-toed shoes
cell phones in public
mis-uses of the words 'there,' 'their,' 'they're' (and similar grammatical errors)
counting new $1 bills
