That Campbell's soup commercial with the two men doing bad Darth Vader imitations while they feed their kid soup is causing much ado on a couple of their Facebook pages. Made some entertaining reading during my downtime at work this morning... whooboy.

My home wifi is named The Office-appropriate "That's What She SSID".

They all look like miniatures of Winston Churchill to me.

I enjoy that they used a recent recording of the song for the ad vs. having Joey Tempest just lip sync to the now-30-year-old original.

Thanks! I've been lurking for a while, indeed. Magazine-wise, my wife and I are pretty voracious readers. Most of my subscriptions I get for free via internet - freebizmag.com, rewardsurvey.com, etc. Just thinking off the top of my head, we currently get: Car and Driver, Autoweek, F1 Racing, Maxim, Playboy, Esquire, GQ, Guitar Player, Rolling Stone, Wine Spectator, Saveur, Taste of Home, Cooking Light, Travel + Leisure, Watch!, Glamour, Self, Woman's Day, Better Homes & Gardens, Kraft Food & Family, and Reader's Digest. There might be a couple more that I'm missing, but yeah - we keep the postman plenty busy.

Thanks to free internet subscriptions that "stack", I'm currently getting Maxim until 2029. In the past year or so, they've definitely tried to go "upscale" and be less of a "cheeky lad mag" and more along the lines of Esquire/GQ/etc. Playboy's current editor is Jimmy Jellinek who came from.. wait for it.. Maxim,

I saw a North Love/RU van on the way to work today, but sadly neither of the two guys inside looked familiar. Would have tried to get a snapshot otherwise...

And before the advent of the can koozie, going on field trips with a sack lunch and a can of soda wrapped in tin foil.

About 75 miles.

Actually, the RU men's home is about as far across town from the Chik-Fil-A as you can get. it's out on the northwest end of town where the women's home is the one on the southeast side. There's not much near the men's home except a whole lot of bad neighborhoods.

Not sure if this is just a coincidence, or if you were aware, but Ginger Lynn is also a native of Rockford, IL.

We have several. It might be a run-down post-industrial city, but there is plenty of good eatin' here.

I used to know a gal who graduated from North Love. She and her twin sister were 25% of their graduating class of 8 people. Shortly thereafter, their dad ran off with a woman he met at Bible study.

Ugh. Why did they have to send him here? Isn't there some program down closer to his Bible Belt roots that they could have pawned him off on?

Actually, they've put out a couple of albums in recent years - Lightning Strikes Twice and Peace Out. I think both are quite good. If you enjoyed the early stuff, you may enjoy these, too.
