No Internet and No Email Makes Mary...Something Something...
Go crazy?
Don't mind if I do!
Okay, way too much Simpsons in this house, I know. I haven't had Internet since about 6:30 last night. Ahhh! But I do have a new washer. Yay! And I slept till ten today. Weird.
I've been watching a lot of TV on my sabbatical. My friend Cindi and I love commercials. Here are some of our favorites.
Favorite commercials:
Formula 409 – because the world’s not ready for Formula 410
Pace – because the sauce made in New York City is so wimpy you have to ride a bull with an airbag
Nextel – the guys dancing to Salt N Pepa in the office. I don’t know why it cracks me up. Lack of expression juxtaposed with with the dancing?
Kia – Save the Greenbacks – LOLOLOL
Cingular commercial where the guy is waiting for his great date to call him
Pentium – the Intel chip will be set free and live inside a Mac (you have to be a Mac person to appreciate)
WalMart – the commercial with the smiles in the shadows and shapes of every day things.
Citi cards – the older couple playing the autoharp and ukulele (?) and she chides him for forgetting the second verse.
NASCAR – where the cars are racing over the landmarks like the St. Louis Arch.
American Express – with the little kid who’s a pinch penny, who decides to splurge on a medium popcorn when he finds out his AmEx card has a saving account.

Isn't funny how much you miss the internet when you don't have it? }:)
LOL it should read 'Isn't it'. ;)
You make the commercials sound interesting, though honestly, I never liked commercials. Once, I could find remote control, and being lazy to get up every time to switch the channels during the advertisement, I had to watch it. Grrr. I hope you have a great week-end, Mary!
I haven't seen most of those commercials, but yeah the guys dancing to Salt-N-Pepa is pretty funny. And the Intel chip being set free in the Mac makes me giggle hysterically. (Love my Mac!) There are other commercials I really like but I can't think of them at the moment...
The Salt-n-Pepa commercial cracks us up every time we see it. I think it's hysterical because this would so not happen, and these dudes can't dance.
Bonnie, it worked both ways for me. Funny thing, I was about to go back to sleep after the dh got up to go to work, but he came in and said the internet was working, so I woke up. Got up, checked the 43 emails, and when I clicked through to a website, it said I wasn't connected. So I went back to bed ;)
I just think some commercials are so clever and wonder how these people came up with the ideas.
The Salt-N-Pepa commercial - just the looks on the guys' faces, so deadpan. I love it. My dh likes the other Nextel commercial where they're having a meltdown and these two guys are talking about BLT sandwiches.
Another one we like are the Staples commercials with the Rubber Band Man. I get that tune in my head and want to dance. :)
Oh, yes, the Rubber Band Man! He's on My Name is Earl now, and in the last episode they infiltrated an office to steal office supplies and he was doing his thing. I was cracking up!
