BW Manilowe December 24, 2015 Share December 24, 2015 Tony and Gaga are best friends. Yeah... definitely seems like it anyway. In fact, whenever it happens, Tony's singing at Gaga's wedding to Chicago Fire actor Taylor Kinney--that was the first detail/1 of the first details they settled, as far as their wedding arrangements are concerned, after they got engaged. Also, on the recent Sinatra 100 special The Grammys aired on CBS, when Gaga tossed the fedora she wore into the audience during her show finale performance of New York, New York, she tossed it to Tony--or he caught it, anyway (& I don't think it was an accident that *he* caught it). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15594-holiday-and-seasonal-commercials/page/14/#findComment-1825120

Sandman87 December 27, 2015 Share December 27, 2015 There are companies that make the bows - just google "giant car bow". Heck, you can find anything if you google it. I have a hypothesis that the act of googling will create whatever it is you look for if it didn't exist previously. For example, i just googled "heavy duty rubber jock strap" (the most ridiculous thing I could think of on the spur of the moment), and not only did I get hits, I discovered that I can buy heavy duty rubber jock straps with the U.S. Army or Navy logo on them. I find it comforting that our armed forces' strippers will have heavy duty support when called to serve on the front lines. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15594-holiday-and-seasonal-commercials/page/14/#findComment-1828255

Between a Golden Corral gift card and a giant teddy bear, I guess I'd rather have the gift certificate because that can easier be donated to someone who will enjoy it. But I sure as hell won't be eating there. I don't even know that there is one in my area (I've never driven by one), but years worth of ads for it have led me to believe I want no part of it. The food actually looks gross in the commercials half the time, and even where it looks edible it's offered at a price that makes clear they are not sourcing quality ingredients, even accounting for mark-up and volume discount.
