Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage
ennui replied to Maverick's topic in Commercials
Yes. And there's a companion dual dryer. It's actually kind of interesting, and it made me deeply grateful that I don't have that much laundry. However, I weep for the environment. https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-unveils-laundry-game-changer-at-ces-2017-with-new-four-in-one-laundry-system-flexwash-flexdry/ -
I'm frequently impressed with David Hyde Pierce's gift for physical comedy. Occasionally there are extended scenes with Niles alone, no dialogue, only music, that are hysterically funny.

I love the opening credits. And the volleyball scene. Objectively, I think Tom Cruise is attractive, but his personal life ruins it for me. He does look good in a Navy uniform! (Top Gun, A Few Good Men).

It's horror for the time period. Slasher films came later. They were sisters. Most families sense an obligation to care for each other. My take is that I think Jane was considered eccentric by outsiders, but not dangerous. I think Jane tipped when she found out Blanche was planning to sell the house; things were probably okay before then.

"Utah faces growing opposition over a newly-passed drunk driving law that lowers the legal blood alcohol limit from 0.08 to 0.05. That makes it the lowest threshold in the nation, and the law is set to go into effect late next year. "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says an average 160-pound man would be considered legally drunk under the new law after drinking just two drinks in one hour. "Businesses are already fighting back with a new ad campaign that's aggressive, warning tourists traveling to Utah: "Come for vacation, leave on probation" – a jab at the state's new drunk driving law, reports CBS News correspondent Carter Evans."

I bought the TJ's version, just to see. They look the same as Frito's scoops, but seem to have less salt and a slight bit more oil. Trader Joe's never divulges who or where their products are made, so it would be funny if these come from the same factory as name brand Frito's.

While a man was dying, his wife was maintaining a candlelight vigil by his side. She held his fragile hand, tears running down her face. Her praying woke him from his slumber. He looked up, and his pale lips began to move slightly. "My darling," he whispered. "Hush, my love," she said. "Rest, don't talk." He was insistent. "I have something that I must confess," he said in a tired voice. "There isn't anything to confess," replied his weeping wife. "Everything's ok. Go to sleep." The man blurted out: "No, no, I must die in peace. I...I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!" "I know," whispered his wife, "that's why I poisoned you."- 839 replies

My mother once asked me, "What are you burning now?" :) My mother raised me to work. The most valuable gift she gave me.

Yes, when a group of friends got drunk and decided to go for a midnight swim, no one filmed my epic failure at climbing the fence and posted it on YouTube. :)

The Stuff Of Yesteryear: Discontinued Products (Non-Food) You Miss
ennui replied to GreekGeek's topic in Everything Else
I re-use Altoids tins. I think they are about the same size. Speaking of shampoos, I miss the Vidal Sassoon original that smelled like almonds. They still sell shampoo, but it doesn't smell the same. -
I tried the pizza dough for the first time (garlic/herb). Made a pizza at home. It was okay, but salty -- probably the pepperoni. Next time, vegetarian.

I have to wonder ... why? Or is this the same luxury goods developer who brought us the beer bong? Whatever happened to the delicate flirt who giggled and said "the bubbles tickle my nose"?

One of the Geico closer look ads, with the pigeons. It made me laugh. "Fire at Will!" "Bye, Will!" -
Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage
ennui replied to Maverick's topic in Commercials
Pun intended? :) I like dandelions, and I've never heard them called "prickly." Maybe the ad for A/C Pro has been discussed here (it appears to be a year old): "As a man drives around in the scorching heat, his dog jumps out of the car and grabs a can of A/C Pro out of a convenience store. After the man recharges his air conditioner, the air becomes so cold that his breath is visible." But what bothers me is that we don't see the man pay for the A/C Pro. The dog is a thief. They need a companion ad where the man trains the dog to jump out and steal a six-pack. -

A wife asks her husband, a software engineer... "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6!" A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs." -
Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"
ennui replied to Betweenyouandme's topic in Everything Else
Car people say, "If it's too loud, you're too old!" As to attacks on manhood, you'd be surprised how many loud, powerful vehicles belong to women. I personally witnessed a young woman purchasing a Dodge, who implored the salesman to "start it again!" because she loved the sound. Okay, back to griping about smokers. -
Do you mean Domaine Chandon Blanc de Noir? Nectar of the gods. Beautiful winery, as well. Just saw a commercial for the Coravin Wine Saver. The ad mentioned a $50 coupon, so I knew it was too expensive for me. Google tells me it's around $299, and I could buy a lot of wine for $299.

Just a friendly reminder, Memorial Day honors the fallen. Veterans Day honors those that survived.

Minor pet peeve ... Memorial Day honors the fallen. Veterans Day honors those that survived. The two holidays are so often confused. -

The Slim Jim commercials I remember best are the ones with Macho Man Randy Savage. -

Maybe mom also worked, and without the second income, they couldn't afford to keep the house. It happens more than we like to think. -
So, Saturday, May 27 is National Grape Popsicle Day. If you have leftover wine, you know what to do!
