The first photo of Amy was better, but fucking blogger sent me a message and my shitty phone didn't save the photo. Thank you for the run on.

DO NOT EAT AT McDONALDS!

McDonald's recently released a new radio ad. You may or may not have already head it. If not, here you go.


I am among many people who are outraged. Here is an email I sent to their marketing department:

"Your ad for your new chicken bites is offensive. It also goes past offensive into defamatory and false advertising. Did your marketing department even bother to fact check before you ran
such an outrageous ad? You are trying to tell me that the pit bull that sleeps in my bed every
night, the dog that has shown me more love and compassion than any other bread of dog, the
dog that turned my dog hating fiance into a dog lover, is inherently bad for me, and you
preservative packed, fat fill FRIED new chicken bites are good and safe for me. Your 24 hour
drive through was the main reason I ate your food. After a long day of work, and not
getting home until after midnight, food options are limited. McDonald's is close, cheap and
some times fast. You can now add at least 2 more people to the list of customers you lost.
I will spread the word, as word of mouth still commands listeners in this day and age. 2 turns
into 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 16.... You get the point. Not good during a slow economic recovery to be
losing customers like that. Now my family (my pit bull is included in that) will no longer
stop by the Golden arches on a road trip, or after a long day of work. We will take next exit,
go to Burger King, Wendy's, or I'll take the long way home and go to Sheetz after work. All
because your company finds it OK to perpetuate false stereotypes. By the way, pit bulls where
once the mascot to the USMC, and are referred to as the "Nanny Dog" and are trusted to
look over children."

That is along the same lines of the phone call I had with them earlier as well. There is also a Facebook page now dedicated to the people who are angry with this ad. Here is the photo I saw last night that got my engine revved up.

I searched the radio on my ride home from work last night trying to hear the ad, but at midnight, there are not very many radio ads playing. When I got home I looked to no avail to find the ad again. This morning I found he above ad posted on Saveabull.com. If you click that blue link there, you will go right to the page about the story. You can see McDonald's weak apology for offending their "customers."

I for one, will no longer eat at McDonald. I ask you to do the same. Please boycott McDonald's. If you want to eat fast food, there are plenty of other options out there.

The contact information for you to voice your concerns to McDonald's are as fallows:

That is all, carry on.

There's Shit Everywhere!

Ok, while it wasn't that bad this time, it still isn't very pleasant to walk down stairs and see poop in your basement floor. Got it fixed and cleaned up lickety split. All without actually licking anything.

If you are confused, here is a quick synapses. roots in mainlines= bad things. Roto-Rooter = expensive, but damn good at what they do. Also a one year warranty on their work. So this time it cost me nothing!

In other news, I am not wearing any pants right now. Why you ask? Here I am considering stopping to let your mind wonder. Let you get that mental image of me without any pants on. Now, you may or may now know what I look like, so this image could be fairly mild or it could be vastly out of control. I'll let you decide.

Ok, I will tell you the real reason. The dog jumped on me this morning and got my favorite PJ's all muddy. I know, the reason why isn't as good as the wondering what I look like without any pants on now is it?

Ok. the morning is getting on, and I need to watch last nights episode of The Jersey Shore. No matter how shitty I think my life is, I watch that show and I feel awesome about myself. I mean, you have to feel good about yourself after seeing that debacle unfold. Unless you are a "Guido" that is. Then I am sorry you suck so hard at life. Maybe you'll get it right next time.



That is all, carry on.

30th of January, Twenty Twelve!

Well now, if there is anyone out there that still reads my blog, or checks in on it from time to time, you know it has been some time sense I wrote a real blog. I am going to try and fix this. I need to get back into my old routine of writing these things, looking at things other than Total Ruckus and Facebook on the internet, playing music again and getting out in the world.

It seems like my lack of getting out in the world is beginning to make me a new sort of person. A more rounder sort of person.
I also miss going to hundreds of Youtube videos every day looking for some gems for Video Clip Fridays.

Why this sudden re-interest in blogging in getting back to my old days (circa 2009) you ask? Well I have recently received a few inquiries from owners of some establishments I had reviewed on Yelp. They were concerned with my bad reviews and have asked me to go back and give them another whirl, so to say. This made me think and look at the messages, compliments, and funny thumbs up I have received on many of my Yelp reviews. People were actually reading what I had to say.

The power of the Keyboard is strong my friends! There may not be many, if any, of you out there to read this. But once I get going again, I will let you know I got off the couch and got into my chair again.

That is all, carry on.

The Beebs!

Dog Days of Winter

Oliver made some new friends, and reconnected with an old one. The black dog is Astro (was Gambit). They were at Griffin Pond together.

The Cave is becoming Manley

And so it begins.
