When all you need is just a little badmouthing
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)
