i’d like to have a crack at her code

Posted on August 21, 2008 by Jeff

dear nbc,

i hate you.

you have terrible programming.

it’s really just awful.

in fact, were it not for the office, i doubt i would even know where to find you on my giant 42″ HDTV LCD’s dial.

with that in mind, some genius in the web dept decided to create a gallery on your website entitled, “crack the code” and now…you’ve t-o-t-a-l-l-y redeemed yourself!

catchy ad jingles by the dozen

Posted on August 21, 2008 by Jeff

so lately i’ve found myself coming up with awesome jingles for random products/goods. i’ll just be going about my business, see a tag line for some random product and then BAM instantly compose the catchiest jingle for said product of all time.

i blame all of this on the fact that i’ve watched roughly 14hrs of ‘Mad Men‘ in the past two weeks.

also, i think i’m going to go as don draper for halloween…or better yet ZOMBIE don draper!

speaking of ‘mad men’ have you seen it? if not, email me and i’ll buy you a copy of season 1 on dvd. it’s just that good. if you dont believe me just check out how slick the box set looks:

yep. the box is shaped like a lighter full of red dvds.

need i say more?

taste buds are like snowflakes

Posted on August 21, 2008 by Jeff

i’m no scientist—actually, yes i am—but few people in the anatomical sciences really believe that our taste receptors can only detect 5 specific stimuli, namely: salty, sweet, bitter, sour and umami.

that being said, let’s go ahead and add “calcium” to the list of things that human taste buds dig.

london 2012

Posted on August 21, 2008 by Jeff

so even though the 2008 olympic games have yet to wrap-up, i thought i’d share the steaming pile of shit that is the logo for the London 2012 games.

i wish i were making this up.

to put the crapiness into proper perspective, take a look at logos from olympics past.

Out on my window ledge
I don’t feel safe
And I stay
Looking down on you

It’s out of my hands for now

I can’t just walk away
Be nice to walk away
But I don’t feel safe
Get away, all the way up here

Its out of my hands for now

Oh it is down in from here
And down from here
Start to feel insane
Betrayed
Out on my window ledge

Now our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all that believe stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire

Let me in
Let me in

I start to feel like I’m crazed

Betrayed

Out on my window ledge

Looking down from here
It’s outta my hands for now
Out on my window ledge
It’s outta my hands for now
So let me in
Let me in

So damn lucky, that you went on ahead

You said, you said

“I’ll see you later…”

I heard what you said a few minutes later

Now I’m sliding

And everything’s different again

VP Prick

Posted on August 19, 2008 by Jeff

this has to be the greatest “typo” to ever appear in an AP news story.

quoting from the AP on 8/19/08:

His top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000 who now is an independent.

the original is still online here.
