Since I have not been given much of a life, I watch an
awful lot of television, which includes an awful lot of commercials. Now, a “GOOD” ad is one that holds my
attention and makes me want to at least learn more about the product or service
it is for. A “BAD” ad is one that
quickly becomes nothing more than background noise when it cannot be skipped
over. “UGLY” ads are much worse. For not only do they make we want to never
see them again, they make me want to never have anything to do with the company
that paid for them to be produced. Of
course, you may feel differently, but I sure wouldn’t say much about it around
anyone with a lick of sense. For I am,
after all, an expert on such things—albeit only in my own mind!
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Karen!!! Every time I start giving Arlynda a hard time over how all of her plants die horribly lingering deaths, she reminds me of the fact that she feeds me, too. It usually shuts me up pretty quick. Sigh.
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Angelika!!! I truly love the first one, and the last doesn't get real ugly until the final shot, which has made me recoil from the television (which is clear across the room, mind you) every time it has came on.
and to think I turned off the tv because I was sick of all the commercials that were playing. Been seeing the newest one for Norelco, couldn't take it any more
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Well, at the risk of really ticking you off this time, you missed that I was bemoaning Peter's mother giving her that name--not saying anything disparaging about Peter herself. Have you ever heard Johnny Cash's A Boy Named Sue?
Of course, I've heard of "A Boy Named Sue", Jerry...I doubt there would be many of my vintage who hasn't.
By the way, I did mean to tell you that Peter called one of her daughters Michael; but then you may recall US actress, Michael Learned played the mother. "Olivia Walton" in the "The Waltons"...so that's not so strange a name for a girl, apparently.
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! There is also a stunningly beautiful actress by name of Michael Michele. Maybe it is a Hollywood thing? Anyway, I am really glad Peter did not suffer any ill effects. Be assured that it took me a long time before I could laugh at being called Butterball. Hey, I even had some teachers who tried to pronounce my last name that way!
Oh, and I used to joke that Sherry must really love me. For she traded in Lee for Beuterbaugh, and she learned how to spell it by singing the Mickey Mouse theme (B.E.U...T.E.R...B.A.U.G.H.) After she ran me off, it stopped being funny. Sigh.
Since the Blogger spam filter has been found sorely lacking lately, I will start moderating comments. Be assured that I am only interested in deleting spam. So, if you feel a need to take me to task over something—even anonymously, go ahead and let 'er rip, and I will publish it as soon as I can.
Fun, Funny...funniest...love your sense of smell...I mean humor! Ha! Ha! I especially hate crimes against potted plants too..... oh yeah.

ReplyDeleteI liked the first one, don't mind the 3rd one & heard about 2 seconds of the second one before I stopped it, LOL.

ReplyDeleteHey, Jerry...the good is that I didn't take offense at your comment in my blog...and the bad is that you thought I had! ;)

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! Oh, I am going to have to look out for that one!
ReplyDeleteI must say you are great out of squeezing interesting blogs from the most unlikely of sources. This was a fun read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! Be assured that I have a lot of help (naturally-speaking, of course).
