No--my avatar is Mandy. From "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy." She has subdued the Grim Reaper. The one time she ever smiled, it destroyed the space-time continuum.

Cartoon Network has some pretty weird concepts going on.
 
Are you a Fanilow Claire?

Just as there is no shame in loving the Micheal Bolton catalog! (Foul language alert):

Thats one of my favorite parts of the movie.
Spoiler
I told those fudge packers I like Michael Boltons music.
 
Gosh-darn (for want of a less family friendly term) Internet went out for 90 minutes here. The way our router works, we can't even get to our server without an Internet connection.

At least I got my desk cleared off and some stuff put back in files. Still...

The market rebounded a little. :alien2: :banana:
 
All day I've been looking for a video of this GolfNow.com commercial I saw last night, but I couldn't find it, so I'm just going to rant anyway.


The commercial shows "the husband" out in the yard at a patio table on a laptop. The camera pulls back to show "the wife" pruning something or other on/near the patio.

She says something like:
"He's pretending to pay the bills. But we both know that he's actually on GolfNow.com booking a tee time. In a minute, he's going to get up and come over here and tell me he's going to play golf. I'll pretend to be annoyed, and then I'll be one step closer to buying those dining room chairs I've been wanting. So everyone wins. Thanks GolfNow.com."
​
Eff you b****!!! You have zero problem with him actually playing golf, but you are going to lie to him and act as though he is doing something wrong in order to buy something expensive.

If I ever found out my significant other was trying to manipulate me that way, I would dump her so fast! That kind of BS mind-____ is just as bad as cheating as far as I am concerned. Hell, at least with cheating, sometimes it's just the inability to control emotions or hormones or something and not an intentional act of treachery.

And if I were a woman, I'd be p!ssed at that commercial on many levels. First, implying that women are that manipulative. Second, that they just think about shopping and keeping house.

It kills me too Harry.
 
I see that commerical all the time on GC. I agree with you as well. I think you pretty much just summed it up.
 
It just drives me BANANAS!!!

And not the dancing happy kind either!!!

You tell em Harry.
 
So, when are you going to use GolfNow.com?:D
 
March is a huge month for us in Florida for golf and I want to attend all the events with THP but instead I am on call at work because I am basically the office b***h. Two of the owners are husband and wife and the wife is expecting their second child anyday now so if she goes into labor they will both be gone. My other female co-worker is pregnant also so she is in and out of the office at doctors appointments, and finally the other employee in the office is one of the "managers" and comes and goes as he pleases. Some days he feels like working and he comes in (usually an hour or more late) and other days he just isn't feeling it so he just stays home.

I would love to just come and go as I please, instead I have to work 6 days a week and be everyone's do girl. Ok rant over.....
 
That just means I get to hit South Beach and Doral without the ball and chain...Just kidding honey, I love you.
 
JB: Big time.

Yeah, the worst part of the golfnow commercial is the blatant sexist typecasting. Of course, they're broadcasting their pitch to a massively predominantly male audience, so they figure they can get away with it. But we're here to tell you you can't Golfnow! Hear us roar!
 
Wow I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
 
This isn't really a rant because, frankly, I don't really care, but . . .

I was watching the Honda Classic and a commercial for DirecTV pay Per View came on. This time, they were featuring (and played the trailer for) "Zack & Miri Make a Porno" . . . except when the trailer was over and it was time to show the name of the movie so you would know what to order, the only thing on the screen was "Zack & Miri" - and that's what the announcer called it. They omitted the "Make a Porno" part.
 
Flat tire in the morning, almost forgetting to tighten the lug nuts, needed gas, spare tire needed air too, almost forgot to tell the gas lady to charge me for the gas along with my drink.

I thought Pay Day Friday was supposed to be a good day. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

They do that with posters as well Harry where I live. Usually CD stores like Cd Plus and HMV have posters for the movie, but it is just called Zack & Miri.
