Did they decide to re-release ET just for the commercial aspects? Toyota Sienna mini-vans, Special Olympics, Kodak Photo Quilt, Universal Theme Parks, Reese’s, Dairy Queen, Kraft….
And will I be in trouble, if when I see Drew Barrymore the kid, and think of Drew Barrymore the grown-up, flashing her boobs at David Letterman.
I can’t help myself. The 12 for a penny or the price of one or whatever is too good a lure for me. I usually join, fulfill my obligation and get out. 6 months later I get back in. I am about to get back out again.
Got a flyer in the mail today, who are these people think they are kidding? A “Hot Pick” is highlighted on page 5 – Chris Issak’s Heart Shaped World! The album is from 1989. how can that be hot unless they still have several thousand copies in the warehouse and some boss is HOT to get rid of them. How about this? They have a two page spread entitled “Then & Now” with 2 albums from the same artist from the past and then one from the present, one such pairing is the Back Street Boys’ then, Milenium (1999) and now, Black & Blue (2000). Wow, their sound really has evolved over all those year.
I’m sure if I was much younger and hadn’t seen all the SciFi movies I have seen, AI would have been a monumental movie. Unfortunately, as often as it was so original, it was also so derivative. Blade Runner, Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, even John William’s score seemed to be, at times, by Phillip Glass. Still, I did watch the whole thing and at 2 hours, 25 minutes that was a serious commitment of time.
The rain washed out the last leg of Aiken’s Triple Crown. Today’s harness races were called of until next Saturday because they just can’t pull a sulky on a muddy track. And because today was supposed to be cloudy with a good chance of additional rain, there was no way the track would be dry enough by tomorrow. We’ve got a rail side parking spot and 6 tickets, but next weekend it will be just the two of us as the company we were going to go with will be long gone.
As befitting a government policy, Georgia’s Tax Holiday this weekend is thing of wonder.
You can purchase gym suits tax free, but you must pay tax on martial arts attire.
You can purchase bow ties tax free, but you must pay tax on head bands.
You can purchase lingerie tax free, but you must pay tax on athletic supporters.
Got an email addressed to the Master’s Miata Club from someone offering us a discount on a group buy of roll/style bars. Minimum order of 20. We have 37 cars in the club, I know of 4 that already have a bar, that means we need 61% of the remaining cars to buy one to qualify for the discount. That’ll happen. Maybe they should have taken the time to look at our website. I passed it along to everyone in the Club, just in case mass hysteria takes place.
Not only that I just checked his web site, Frenzy, and the group buy price is $10 off for the chrome style bar. WOW, what a deal. 😉
They have changed to ad for the Buick Rendezvous over to a New Orleans flavored ad as opposed to the last version with the old black & white 1930’s feel. The earlier one had the Edgar Winter Group’s, “Frankenstein” playing in the background and to me it was just a little too true. While the Pontiac Aztec is the actual Frankenstein’s monster, the Rendezvous is pretty much the Bride of Frankenstein. It looks a little nicer, but still seems to be tossed together from bits that fit together, although oddly.
