Prevailing Wind January 7, 2019 Share January 7, 2019 Some folks enjoy their RVs, though. I met a couple in one when I was going down the Natchez Trace. She told me they sold their house & bought a new, smaller one now that they're empty-nesters. Before they formally moved in, her husband suggested they try RV'ing for, maybe, 6 weeks & see if they like it. TEN YEARS later, they're still driving their "house" around and having the time of their lives. She's got one of those walking sticks she collects medallions for & she's got more medallion than stick. We kept running into one another at the "overlooks" & historic sites. I found that one of the coolest things about driving the Trace - the people you meet more than once along the road. It was great fun. 6 Link to comment

Ugh. I straight up have only seen this commercial once and I was about 3/4 through it before I realized they were saying "free" and not "three". I was totally confused about what the hell "threethreethreethree" could possibly be about. 1 Link to comment

Bort January 10, 2019 Share January 10, 2019 I don't mind the one with the husband and wife, because I find that one plausible.

The one where the guy acts like a complete dweeb while out with his friends makes no sense.

Bachelor parties are funny because you really find out where your friends are in life. You've got bachelors, guys who have been married a couple of years and that one guy who has been married five years, has three kids, owns his own home, is talking about his IRA, owns the mini van etc. And you realize he's no longer the guy you remember from college.

The husband and wife one is the one that drives me nuts because while I get that someone can get all into doing things around the house, I don't see how pointing out to your spouse that the attic insulation is stapled and being happy with the mulch is such a bad thing. Then they go on to add in unrelated, moronic scenes where the guy puts on this stupid face while putting glasses on to look at the computer and talking to himself while opening a piece of candy. It just makes no sense to me. On another note: the Sling couple makes my skin crawl. 9 Link to comment

Popular Post configdotsys January 13, 2019 Popular Post Share January 13, 2019 Saw a commercial for Volkswagen today. Parent picks up sad face kids from school because Uncle Edward (or some Uncle) has died. Then the voiceover says something like Uncle Edward died 8 times this month as the kids give each other smirks as the principal looks them with sad face as they leave school. The kids jump giddily into the car where their siblings are laughing up a storm too as the voiceover says in one of the parent voices, "We don't even have an Uncle Edward." Turns out mom and dad take the kids to an amusement park and they’re all giddy and thrilled about getting over on the school so they can play in their new car. Way to go mom and dad. The premise of the commercial is particularly stupid because the principal would remember the same kids and the same relative so many times in a month but the idea that the parents think it's just swell to make up a death to get their kids out of school is awful. 31 Link to comment
