A great running gag with this blog to me to is CONSTANT and seemingly extreme changes the ad content will take after a single blog entry. I make that one entry about Lil' Romeo and now I get an ad for Romeo Ring tones. I am going to start including random things in my entries just to see how extreme and random I can make the ad content, and I'm starting now.
I was watching the wonder years last night (they are showing reruns on like PAX or something like that every night at 10) just good times.. A few nights ago I saw the single greatest moment/line on that show out of it's entire run. What is that you might ask??? Some (very few admittedly) will be able to remember this, but it is the episode where the parents are fighting... something that NEVER happens in the Arnold house and it all started with Norma Arnold taking a pottery class and making some of the more god awful pottery on this planet. Old Jack Arnold isn't just going to lie to her and tell her he likes it when he really hates it, so the fight begins. At one particularly tense moment at the dinner table Kevin takes it into his own hands to break through the tension and turn his parents anger towards him and not at each other, so he takes a massive spoonful of mashed potatoes and whips them into the side of Wayne's face. His dad exclaims "what the hell are you doing." but that's about it.. then there is a short pause followed by the single greatest line to occur on that show... Wayne grabs Kevin's shirt, leans in and says, "Tonight... While you sleep, PAL." good stuff.. I laughed quite a bit just writing it.. If you have seen it, you know just how awesome it is... if not.. your loss..
And now for the REALLY random stuff. There were several cartoons in the 70's/early 80's that operated on a pretty simple formula... A group of teenagers aimlessly traveling around solving problems/mysteries with the help of the "funny"/"nonhuman character" of the show... be that a Dog, or a car, or a shark, or a caveman, etc. The running poll I want to conduct is.. Which one was the best?? To me they were all virtually the same.. All good in their own little ways.. I realize basically everyone will say Scoobie Doo, but if you do you are a loser. That's pretty much what a Backstreet Boys fan would pick.. My personal favorite... and believe me, this was a HARD choice... Has to be Captain Caveman... My reason is that not only was it AWESOME.. he had a kickass battle cry, his club was good for pretty much anything... you just never knew WHAT was coming out of that thing.. and he drove around in this awesome stone RV with a cave on the roof... but the best part was the fact that his "group of teenagers" was about 3 hot ass chicks.. There was definitely something going on there. There is just no way Cavey wasn't puttin the club to them up in the love cave every night. just no way...
Now... what will the ads be now?? Caveman sex?? Scoobie cartoons? 80's tv shows?? we shall see.
