Hee hee hee. Why do I find it amusing that one of our google ads frames is full of greyhound ads right now? Ha ha ha ad targeting! This time, you failed! You failed as much as poor greyhound, who unknowingly created a disastrous ad campaign that had to be pulled after last week’s events. …

Does That Sound Good To You?
Since we’re heading out for some May long weekend food and drinks, I got thinking about two food commercials I’ve heard recently that make me want to hurl! The first was Subway raving about their new pizzas. Mmm! Pizza! They tell you it’s topped right in front of me! Mmm! With whatever I want. Mmm! …
Jibber Jabber, Chit Chat, and Tech Talk
I don’t know what’s up with me right now, but I’m full of this unfocused, nervous energy. I’m about as distracted as Trixie after she just saw a pup she likes. I thought maybe, just maybe, I could write a post and get that energy out. So here’s some randomness…ooo! A squirrel! I find the …
More Things And More Stuff
Wow. Two random thought posts in one week? That doesn’t happen very often. Off we go. Last night, we were doing the old flip around the music channels thing again, aren’t we predictable? This time, what grabbed our attention was an English kids’ song. It sounded like that song “The Wheels on the Bus Go …
Commuting Is Better Than It Ever Was, I’m Taking It Easy, When I Take The Bus?
Sorry, I don’t agree. After having to commute by bus for a week while I had a temporary job, I don’t think so. I kept hearing that old jingle for Ottawa’s transit system in my head every morning and thinking that if they picked it up for Guelph, I’d have to shoot someone. Commuting is …

Bad Taste Moved Here
Well, it’s official. We can get KFC failure piles in sad bowls in Canada now, but instead of “famous bowls”, they’re calling them “chicken bowls”. I still look at that and go blech! But I’m curious as to why they’re selling so well. Anybody know? I don’t think I’m brave enough to try one. And …
What’s Popping Out Of My Popcorn?
Ok, I’m about to look nutty cuckoo, but maybe there’s a chance in hell that someone thinks the same way I do about this. Steve says this is one of the few things I say that makes him stare at me and go “huh?” Oh well. Does anyone else get creeped out by the way …
Knowing Where I’m At Isn’t Where It’s At
I’ve seen these commercials advertising this new GPS service offered by certain wireless providers where you and your friends will always know where each other is. All the people on the commercials sound like stoners or zombies. They just keep pushing buttons on their phones going, “I know where you’re at.” “Oh yeah? Well I …
Derek Edwards, You’ve Done It Again
I feel like I’m just repeating myself, but ah hell, I’m going to write it anyway. The other night we went to see Derek Edwards again. After seeing him a couple of years ago, I wasn’t sure how much new stuff he could have possibly come up with. Oh boy did he come up with …
If You’re Reading This, My Net’s Up!
There were a few things floating around in my head, and I thought maybe I should write them down before a monster starts to develop, so off we go. I finally figured out what that singing alphabet commercial was all about. It wasn’t an attempt at improving literacy. Why would I think such a thing? …
