I love the Bacardi Mojito commercial. I have no idea what a Mojito even tastes like, but I am enchanted by the idea of a bar filled with that many beautiful, scantily clad people in it, inspired to dance to the beat of the bartender crushing some mint leaves.

I get the Top of the Page with THIS???

No fair you stole it from me.

Anyone watching Ringo & Paul on Larry King? Also Olivia Harrison, and Yoko Ono.



TIS

SB, you are so right about that commercial.

Do the Mojito!

I have several commercials that I just hate, which appear during Astros broadcasts. Meaning that I see them a LOT.

There's one car commercial with the guy yelling at us about how he's lowering prices, and everytime it airs, my dad declares he will never buy a car from him. I always find it funny that he considers himself such a major influence on this guy's business.

I do like the jingle about Chevrolet and baseball...
We love baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet.
Stolen bases, goat cheese pizza, bottled water and Chevrolet.
Free agents, rally monkeys, fantasy leagues and Chevrolet.
They go together in the good ol' USA,
Face paint, satellite radio, ____???____ and Chevrolet.

Yes, I sometimes sing along.

And it bothers me that I don't know that one part in the last line.

I know (biblically) some people who can do that you know lol

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell.

I know, but right now I can't tell.

Beth,

That's how it starts, "unwell". Next thing you know, you're drawers will be sticking to you and you'll start "cracking" all kinds of "nutty" jokes.

According to this:
"face painters, satellite radio, endorsement deals and Chevrolet."

Okay, now do you forgive me for picking against the 'stros today?

If wishing only made it so.

After I watched the video of Andy Garcia paying tribute to Al Pacino at AFI event, I was clicking related links in youtube and slowly got caught in a world of David Lynch interviews. Very interesting. One interview in particular that he gives at AFI, Dallas is too good. Capo, you will like it.

It's 106 degrees outside here.

The devil went down to Georgia because it's too damm hot here for him.

Is that the regular temperature or the heat index??

I saw (on the news) that it was 99° where Geoff lives... its in the mid 80's here but if you go a few miles north (away from the ocean) its in the mid 90's... I haven't left my bedroom yet (only place I have a/c).... OzzieBoy too.

It's '87 right now but tomorrow it's only suppose to be in the high '70's. I hate Ohio weather. I want to move back to Newport News,VA

I can be over by 8:00.

Actual temp is 96, feel temp is now 104. Whew! Am I glad that heat spell is over.

What do you want for dinner?

I WAS gonna go food shopping now but I just opened my door... I'll wait until tonight. Thank God for 24 hour supermarkets (and its only less than a ½ mile away!)

Hot and humid here too. Last night the AC went off. On my way to work today I called our technician, who'll come to the house tomorrow. Now my wife is telling me that it's working...kind of.

I lived in an apartment with no air conditioning during the brutally hot summer of 1988. I spent a lot of time after work walking through malls.

Dinner is your choice. I'm more a dessert person.

Yay! Just started raining/storming here. Maybe it'll cool off.

Whoa, that's hail! Or maybe just really big raindrops.

Getting thunder rumbles here. Just went shopping on my lunch break. The air is just oppressive.

Big storms in Michigan too.

I love it.

Hey, how bad is this power outage in NYC???? The subway system right? That's gotta be awful, with the heat and 5:00 hour no??? How long has the power been out?



TIS

All of the power is back on now.

All the local tv networks interrupted their regular programming to report on the Con Ed problem. Its not certain but they suspect that a thunderstorm that went over Westchester County (just north of the City) MAY have affected the system. The subway signal lights have to be re-set (and properly timed) but as of now all electricity has been restored. About a half million people were affected.

Of course! (So you admit it was your fault?? haha)

Wow, really, thanks! Everytime I hear it, I try to figure out that line...now I finally know!

And that was a good page. It reminded me of the other versions (or extra verses?) I sometimes hear.

Was the amount of people affected just from who would have taken the subway, or did people lose electricity to their homes? I do not even want to be in a situation in this oppressive heat and not have any a/c. That could be lethal.

Can you imagine the people waiting for the subway in the heat and humidity??? Damn, talk about hundreds of bitchy people gathered in one area. I'll bet everyone was "snippy."

Glad it's resolved though. We have outages out here from time to time during the summer, and it's many times due to everyone using their air conditioners.

TIS

PS, Let's hope PB wasn't out there today. I'm sure he'd hate two days in a row of sticky drawers.

I hope no women standing out in the heat were pms'ing. I can only speak for myself, but I probably would have already killed a family of 5. Heat and bloating do not a happy mix make.

The estimated 500,000 people were those who lost their electricity. The news is reporting anywhere from 75,000 - 100,000 customers were affected and apparently that translates to half a million people. Apparently most of the east side of Manhattan were out as well as a portion of the Bronx.

Was does this thing happen about every 5 years. It was 5 years since the last one.
