Trust Me, You're Gonna LOL This Time

My goal, today, is to take you on a brief, uninterrupted trip to the link at the bottom of the page. 

It has to do with commercials, or ads, as some like to call them.

I am a strange individual (but you knew that) who enjoys watching commercials as much as the regularly scheduled programs and movies on T.V. 

Not that I love ALL ads, there are some I love and others I really, really love to despise. 

They can all be fun, if you have a sense of humor.

Humour? This must be from the U.K.

Before I go too far, the whole direction of this blog is toward the very, very funny link at the bottom, so please click on it, after these interruptions thoughts, which are not intended to be interruptions at all. 

Interupting cheese.

The My Pillow guy totally drives me up a wall, but it's fun to cover my ears, close my eyes and say, "la, la, la, la, la," while he is on. 

On the other hand, I love the Progressive commercials with Flo, Jamie and the childlike girl.

I also get a kick out of the ad with the announcer guy who takes folks on a test drive and does his cool, movie trailer voice!

Keep this in mind, my friends....this whole entire blog is to get you focused on the special link at the bottom of the blog, that you will find is WELL worth waiting for! 

In true transparency, the "mayhem" man scares me, but it's "all good," because it gets my old heart pumping from fear, and takes care of my cardio exercise requirements. 

Before I forget to ask, what are your favorite commercials, hmmm? 

What ads do you despise?

Do you even watch them at all?

Let me know your opinions in the comments section below, okay? I would REALLY like to know how strange you guys are. I promise not to use your comments to blackmail you in the future. I'm not working for the Russians, like President Trump never did. 

I'm sure you would all agree that the funniest commercials are the local, low budget, amateur, homespun ads that leave us rolling on the floor laughing.

Well, you ain't seen nothin' yet! 

The afore mentioned link below will make you LOL! If it don't make you LOL, I'll be quite surprised, by golly! So, go on ahead and watch this Compilation Of Cringe Worthy Commercials, that I serendipitously discovered on YouTube!

Color My World With Love And Stuff

I am writing my blog today, trying to figure out what color combinations to use on a cold, snowy, January 15th, and this green and purple doesn't seem to fit the narrative very well.

Although this ain't bad for a young free spirit.

I'm thinking about orange and black lettering, but isn't that too Halloweenish? 

I'm trying to convey the feeling of a Doctor "Zhivago/Frosty The Snowman" winter, with just a touch of "The Thing" added in for chills.

How's about this color? Do you think it's too springy, Easter eggyish? Me too. 

Those of you who have never done a blog may not realize how important the color of the lettering is to set the tone of the whole blog experience! 

You don't want it to look boring, like newspaper print. 

Heaven forbid, do not make it psychedelic colors, unless you're doing a far out, hippy dippy, blog thingy. 

I'm kinda thinkin' that these colors of lettering reflects the mood of the season most accurately. What do you think? 

Kind of silvery, refined, like wrapping paper. Even though Christmas is over, but we still have our tree up. No we are not lazy, we just can't stand to take it down, because it's so festive and makes a cool night light for when we get up to go potty in the middle of the night. 

Yeah, I'm goin' with these colors , for now. Although Congress can't make up their Jello-like brains about the "Wall," I have enough fortitude and decisiveness to stand firm on my decision to go with these colors!

Unless you think THIS is better. 

Blow The Bad Blizzard Blues, Boys And Girls

"The long and winding road, that leads me to your door, has left a pool of tears, you know, I've seen that road before-ore-ore-ore, don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door..." or something like that.

Yes chitlins, the olde long and winding road ALWAYS comes back around to bite us on our butts, at least figuratively, on these cold, snowy, winter days, whilst we partake of our eggnog, wassail, and hot buttered rum, in front of our fireplace that is actually on TV, and has various animals frolicking in front of the warm, cozy hearth. 

Our deepest thoughts, regrets, dashed dreams, friends gone by the wayside, and Farside...

...dumb business deals, ships that have sailed without us, long walks off of short piers, and all that melancholy, maudlin stuff comes flowing into our fragile subconsciousness to make us a bit verklempt, to say the least. 

However, it's my job to turn those negative, unhealthy thoughts right around, turn that frown upside down, make you feel like a happy clown (unless you're terrified of clowns, like me)...

Now just close your eyes...and picture yourself on a boat in a river...or is that IN a boat, ON a river...no matter...with plastisine trees and marshmallow pies...somebody slows you, you answer abruptly, the gal with the marmalade eyes...

Now, don't you feel super duper relaxed?

Of course, if you closed your eyes, like I asked, then you were not able to follow the rest of the instructions, were you? 

Unless you read the whole thing first, memorized it, and THEN closed your eyes and pictured all the weird stuff. 

Details and facts don't count, anyway.

As Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) recently said, "Don't judge me on semantics, details and facts, I'm young, attractive and Latino, and I ALWAYS get a pass!"

I just paraphrased what she ACTUALLY said, because I'm old, unattractive, and a mutt, and NOBODY gives me a pass, durn it!

I'm sure you think I've lost my place by now, but to the contrary, I have. 

Just kidding folks, we are doing our level best to make you guys and gals deliriously happy, in spite of the winter blahs, that can grab a holt of you like a crawdad on a chicken liver. (holt is country for hold)

Remember, there is nothing you can say, that can't be done, there is nothing you can sing that can't be sung, there is nothing you can play until you know how to slay the game...It's EASY...All you need is LOVE...buppa-budda-duh...all you need is love...buppa-budda-duh...All you need is love, love...love is all ya need...love is all ya need...love is all ya need...love is all ya need...love is all ya need...

Fooled ya, didn't I! You thought I would have "All You Need Is Love," didn't ya? Well, I was gonna, but I watched Madagascar 2 last night, and thought the above song would bring you more happiness and dancing to your snow bound life, if you had snow in your life. Please make sure you play it, and get out there in the snow (if you had snow) and dance off your shoes until your toes turn blues blue!!!!

Ten Incomplete Facts About Snow

1. Snow is NOT angel dandruff. 

2. Snow will NOT shut you in your home for months on end, so no need to stock up your root cellar with 6 months of non-perishable food, unless you live in some arctic region of the world.

3. Snow is very slippery, so slow down your walking, driving and exuberant dancing in it.

4. Yellow snow usually appears after a dog takes a walk. A mystery that still remains a...umm...mystery to the uninitiated. If no dogs have been around, you have some uninhibited, beer drinking neighbors, I suspect.

5. Snow is always white, which makes it racist, wealthy, and a Trump supporter. 

6. There are 50 words for snow in the Eskimo language, even more words in Chicago truck driver language. 

 

7. Snow is NOT angels bowling. That's what makes THUNDER, silly. 

8. God made snow for KIDS to sled on, build snowmen, snow people, have snow ball fights, create snow forts, and all the rest of us have to tolerate the "white death," as I like to call it. 

9. Snow has always diminished in intensity and inches over history. Just ask our parents, and grandparents, and great grandparents, and...

10. Twelve inches of snow in Alabama is "SNOWMAGEDDON," on the other hand, twelve inches of snow in Minnesota is "hold my beer, bros., while I take my clothes off and slide down the hill into the river again!"

    Using actual photos of unclad humans is stickly prohibited, thank goodness!  

As you can imagine, I could go on and on, all day, talking about snow, but as Charles Dudley Warner used to say, "Everybody TALKS about the weather, but NOBODY does anything about it!"

Ain't THAT the truth!
