I'm disrespectful to dirt. Can you see that I am serious?

My dad is an advertising consultant and a generally pretty smrt guy. I was really irritated over shitty commercials and wrote this email, potentially the best email I have ever written:


---
You know I was thinking about the "does Harry the Hatter have hats?"
thing you were telling me about and then I was reading your blog and
something profound occurred to me: commercial jingles are awful.
AWFUL. You should make it a point to banish jingles to the land of
wind and ghosts. there is this jingle that was on y97 (and I was how
old? 8? so this has been in my craw for 15 years?!) and someday I will
be 95 years old, have no idea what my name is or where I am, but I
will be able to recite perfectly:

(to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies)

come listen to the story about a man named Jed
cranky transmission made him almost lose his head
then one day, thought he's go fishin'
couldn't do that, cause he had a bad transmission

cranky! real mean! angry n stuff!

so the next thing you know, Jed's real despaired
kinfolks said: "Jed, get the thing repaired!"
said: "RJ's is the place where people save!"
So he loaded up the truck and went to RJ's!

So maybe there is something to be said for a catchy jingle. Do I
remember it because its a familiar tune? I have never had a passing
interest in the Beverly Hillbillies, and I have no idea how the ACTUAL
song goes. You know our shared hatred for the Charmin commercial (NO
ONE needs to see bears crapping the forest) and yet, when I hear a
"cha cha cha" I instinctively follow it with "Charmin!" Or the
Applebee's commercials that are increasingly irritating (from: "Hey
Mambo! Mambo Italiano! You like sauce and Applebees has got it for
ya!" to the shrimp special to the tune of Gilligan's Island "a three
hour too-urr! a three hour too-urr!" What the hell is a too-urr? Why
are they standing in water?! What does that have to do with a shrimp
special!?!)

This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.

ciao, ciao!

Here I go again, on my own...

Hello! Time to shake off the shackles of xanga. I think this is a little more pretentious and quite frankly, I think xanga is pretty much only a minor step up from myspace.

And we all know how myspace is:

LOLZ.... i LUV my gurlz n my boy. ur my heart! west high poms 4 eva!

So we venture forth. This is me, legitimately trying to document little things and amusing bits taking my cue from the ultimate in hilarious blogging: http://teh-dirty-robot.livejournal.com
