| 5/11/06 I happen to flip on the radio when I hear an advertisement advertising Harley Davidson motorcycles. You know, it's funny...............about 7 years ago, Harley ads touted the "cool" factor. You were cool and happening if you drove a Harley. About 3 years ago it was the "Made in America" tag that flooded the airwaves. Harleys were patriotic and it was our duty as tax-paying Americans to own one. Today's ad went in a direction nobody could have possibly expected: Fuel efficency. Apparently, owning an 883 Sportster can get you an average of 50mpg, more than any car on the road. Being an icon can be tough ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/10/06 I'm driving down the road when I see a brand new Volkswagon bug, decked out in shiny lime-green paint. Inside the car is a petite woman seated on the generic flower seat covers that we've all seen. The entire package is set off by a vanity plate that reads "HAVOC" Horray! I discovered an oxymoron! Somebody pinch me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .5/3/06 The following is a taken from a real life discussion. The names have been changed for those who would deny it anyways: BRAD: So, I went to the Utah Arts Council webpage to see the final designs for the Utah Quarter......and they suck (General Laugher) TED: What were the designs again? BRAD: Well, there was one of the golden spike, one with a beehive on it, and tinally a snowboarder doing a half-pike or something like that. DERRICK: They're not very original over there are they? (General Agreement) ARTHUR: You would think it wouldn't be that hard to come up with something unique and different. GREGORY: Yeah, I mean there's lots of things that people associate with Utah that doesn't involve the same boring things. ARTHUR: Yeah, there has to be something that's never been done before that when people see it on a quarter, they would say, "Yup, that's Utah." \ ME: How about Orrin Hatch strangling a Mexican? (Nervous laughter) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
