Cheetos has their "White Cheddar Bag of Bones" in groceries store now, but I have yet to see a commercial for them. They are Cheetos formed into skeleton body parts. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any commercials for the regular Cheetos shaped into paws either. You're right! I really like those paw shaped Cheetos, too. Now I have a sad. 1 Link to comment

All I see is commercials for the regular Cheetos where people try and figure out what each regular Cheeto looks like. Whale, etc. Back when I was in high school (late 80's/early 90's), they had Cheetoes Paws, but they were different. They were much cheesier, and the paws were shaped differently. We always joked about the assorted fingers in the bottom of the bag. They were discontinued, then returned a few years ago. 2 Link to comment

Didn't know about them until reading here -- I DVR everything -- but now whenever I see a Lab, I pause. Hyndai is getting into the act too, and another car company, maybe GMC, uses dogs. 2 Link to comment

He convinced them to let him room by himself (the guy he always roomed with had recently passed away), and I snuck up there for the night. It was fun.

But Sling has a new set of ads with Maya Rudolph. I am enjoying her in the ads, she is so very blase' and says her lines with such a flat expression, I laugh. I like them so much more than all the innuendo of the last bunch. Or should I say "sexual in yer window," which I stole from a poorly written psych note several years ago. I collected poorly written notes and spelling errors and typos. Unfortunately, I lost my hard copy after leaving my job, I had emailed the list to myself and that email got deleted, but I had some wonderful bad notes. I didn't save the entire note and there was nothing to identify any patient, I just saved the errors. I wanted to put them in a book, titled "Sexual In Yer Window and other Miss Demeanors." I hate those commercials, especially the one about the dog birthday party. Just decline the invitation, bitch.

However, I'm loving the one about the Facebook group for basset hound owners, from the footage of the dogs on the beach to Patsy Cline's "Back in Baby's Arms." I first saw that one not long after I finished watching Ken Burn's Country Music. Between the two, I had to dig out my "Best of Patsy Cline" tape and listen to it.

My favorite is the last line about protecting your home “from mayhem, like me-owww. “ 😂😂😂 Agree 1000 percent! Most commercials make me grab for the remote and hit Mute, but I LOVE Mayhem and his Billion Years of Tiger DNA. Not only don't I hit the Mute button, but I actually turn up the volume, AND I remember what company he's advertising, which is ideally what a good commercial should do. Almost all of the Mayhem commercials have been good, but this one is at the top of the list. I hope they get some kind of advertising industry award for this one. Not only would that help make up for those brainless "focus group" ads from Chevy's ad agency that we've been suffering through for the last - what? - five or six years at least - but it would also mean that we'll have even more chances to watch Mayhem ride through the room on a Roomba. Cracks me up every time. BTW, can anyone see what he drops on the sleeping husband? I really hope it's a mouse. 9 Link to comment

Mainly because I love going to those types of meetups with my dog (beagle, though, not basset) and they really do light up when they're with their 'pack'. My group originated on meetup.com and then migrated over to facebook after some hassles there. (I do hope that doesn't become too much of a trend, though - with the beagle group I don't mind it, but there are other meetup groups I belong to where I don't really want my full name broadcast to every other attendee.)
