Signed up for the Kona Ironman Lottery

February 28, 2008 | 1 Comment

I crossed all my fingers and toes, entered my $85 and hit the big red button. Race is on October 11, and if I’m one of 150 lucky Americans chosen at random, I’ll be there.

What are the chances of that? Slim, but there’s still a chance. I’ll get to find out on April 15 — 2 days after Ironman AZ.

Now I’m off to Tahoe to hit the slopes with my homeboys RP and CZ.

Sour Messages For Sour People in Sour Relationships

February 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment

In a sour, unhappy relationship? That’s definitely not me. Nope. And neither are these conversation hearts.

They’re for those “other people” who want to tell their lover to get lost. So if you see a box of these comin’ yer way, best skip the flowers Jethro. You will be watering them with your tears.

From the people who brought you the demotivational poster and “this glass is now half empty” mug comes conversation hearts for the dysfunctional.

Not my bag, baby. But they are fairly entertaining and messages like: “Parole is Up!” make me think more of relationships on the wrong side of the tracks, complete with broken down trailer parks and bad country songs.

View all the collections: Dejected, Dysfunctional, and and Dumped.

If not for the candy, for the laughs.

Plus I feel confident in saying that your relationship is exponentially more positive and rewarding that what is projected from these small tokens.

Best and Worst Super Bowl Ads

February 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Bud Light - Gives You The Ability To Do THis For recent years, Super Bowl ads just haven’t been that entertaining. This year there were a few gems:

Bud Light - Giving You the Ability to Breathe Fire, and the Will Ferrell spot was funny too. These ads are always remembered.
Screaming Forest Critters - Bridgestone Tires takes a novel approach to critter vs. car. Spot fails as a branding vehicle, but does demonstrate need for quality tires.
E-Trade Baby - You remember the brand and the spot.
Doritos Mouse Trap - Serious music. A Serious Man. All meet an abrupt end at the hands of a dude in a mouse costume. Delivering the ridiculously unexpected works.

The Worst Ad? It was easily the SalesGenie.com Panda spot. Many are calling the spot racist. Watch the spot here, and check out the comments.
