Man Hands of Another Kind

Just as Jerry was once worried about man hands, at first glance you might think that Ben Affleck should be worried and then some. In an article about Ben and Jen part 2 getting married looking for the rock might get you more than you bargained for.

Kool-Aid Man Gets Pants

This is the Kool-Aid Man that I recall from childhood and one random appearance on Family Guy. However tonight I saw a commercial in which Kool-Aid Man makes an appearance in baggy shorts. Is this comporable to adding a fig leaf to David? Is this censorship? Does Kool-Aid Man suddenly have something to hide? What's next the Michelin Man in a suit?

Off to Flagstaff

Andrea and I will be out of town for the next few days. We leave Friday for a long weekend with her Dad and family in Flagstaff, AZ. We will get back late on Wednesday. I will just be in town for, what might not even amount to 24 hours and will be off again for the Men's Cursillo Weekend, a spiritual retreat. So, it will not be until a week from Monday that I will really be "in" in town.

Another Schaus

For those of you who know Nate and Liz Schaus you might like to know that they sent out a general announcement today that they are expecting their third child. They already have both a boy and and a girl. If you want to wish them congratulations and don't have their e-mail address just e-mail me and I will get you the contact information that I have.

My head hurts

I was listening to a commercial on the radio as I returned to work this afternoon from my final at Talbot. The spot was for MSN music downloads or something like that. I really was not paying too close of attention. They were offering 5 free downloads if you pay $0.99 for one. The deal seemed interesting so I started to pay attention more. I was sure there would be a catch. Sure the verbal small print first confirmed my suspicion then hurt my head. The limit is that this offer is good only one per customer. That makes sense. The limitation that made me hurt however was the phrase "while supplies last." Tell me if I am missing anything, but how could you run out of a download. What are you going to try to download B.Y.O.B. by System of a Down and have a pop-up tell you that they are all out but that if you like you can have Jessica Simpson's remake of the "These Boots are Made for Walking"?
