I was internetting in front of the TV tonight and the following commercial came on. I wasn't paying close attention, but the tagline made my ears, erm, prick up:
I found it online, excited and giggly and overjoyed. Then I showed it to
redbaker and HE RUINED IT FOR ME. GODDAMNIT.
11:06:40 PM melvillean: OH OH OH
11:06:46 PM melvillean: Something you will find awesome
11:06:53 PM melvillean: And I need to see if I can find it
11:07:03 PM melvillean: There was a commercial for some brand of mixed nuts.
11:07:12 PM redbaker: Okay.
11:07:17 PM melvillean: And I wasn't really paying attention to it.
11:07:25 PM melvillean: It was just something on in the background.
11:07:56 PM melvillean: And from what I recall the buildup was something about the quality of the nuts they used.
11:08:00 PM melvillean: Almonds, pistachios, etc.
11:08:28 PM melvillean: But what grabbed my attention was the tagline.
11:08:37 PM melvillean: The nuts come in bags.
11:08:47 PM melvillean: And the tagline was something about how they made a great nut-sack.
11:08:59 PM redbaker: OPEN YOUR SNACK HOLE
11:09:03 PM redbaker: FOR THE GREAT NUT-SACK

Comments
anyway. My point.
I was listening to the radio, and they were talking about baseball. I'm a Cubs fan, so I totally DO NOT KNOW the White Sox roster. Therefore, when they started talking about outfielder DICK SWISHER I almost simultaneously spit coffee everywhere and choked to death.
I was so pissed when I found out his name was actually Nick.
Also of note:
1) There is a baseball player with the last name Pujols (I don't like sports, so I don't remember his first name or his team -- this was something on the TV playing in the background once that somebody else was watching). AND HIS NAME IS PRONOUNCED: POO-HOLES!!!
2) I see you've got Matt Ruff friended. I lived in the dorm from Fool on the Hill and I'm friends with a friend of MR's wife. Small world.
OMG I AM NOW A STEP CLOSER TO MATT RUFF. I'm a bit of a total nerd for his writing. I have no clue how I never read him before last year, and now I am on a quest to make EVERYONE IN THE UNIVERSE READ HIM. I'm also kind of good at that sort of thing. Not the whole universe, but those in my sphere of influence, at least.
and also? WOO HOO FOR HORIBLENESS.
And, yeah. Horribleness abounds. Scroll down on my journal for some disgusting horribleness and some blasphemic horribleness. If you've been peeking in, then you probably already know about my recent infatuation with some excretory horribleness.
I liked Fool On The Hill a lot, and was quite disappointed when my roommate didn't like it much.
Set This House In Order almost broke my brain. I was already having kind of a rough time when I read it - I had to put it down for a bit and re start it a month later. I need to re-read it. It is a masterpiece. I lovelovelove that book a LOT.
I just read Bad Monkeys in the last week, and it about gave me whiplash. That is one twisty little book, and thoroughly fucking enjoyable.
Sadly, my new job is in a used book store, so I won't be able to handsell him so much. I can't imagine I'll see many copies of his books there. But oh god do I love my new job a LOT.
The beeturia experiment cracked me up, and also grossed me out in a 5th grade kind of way. Remind me to tell you about the time I was in Seattle, in a wedding, in a FANCY BRIDESMAID DRESS and was poking at big slugs having snotty slug sex (it was an outdoor wedding/reception) with a stick like I was seven. It was awesome. Thank god my friend is a scientist and we usually get up to that kind of trouble.
peee essss -
Is your icon the blown glass lights of Chihuly or what? I kept meaning to ask and am too lazy to look. But I probably will look anyway.Nevermind. I looked. The fact that I could know that without looking tells you I dated the lame stained glass artist too long. But man, Chihuly is fucking cool. My ex was also an awesome artist. Lame person, good art.

IT IS HERE IN CHICAGO. I am pretty sure. I think that installation was at the Museum of Science and Industry when they had the glass exhibit.
RAD.
