Wow

I have nothing to add to this...

Wake me when November Ends

Sweet Jebus I can't wait until November is over. As is the case with any election year (especially presidential ones) the ads are out of control. This year, though, seems worse. Maybe it's because the race is so close. Maybe because both candidates are more desperate to get into office than usual. I really couldn't say.

In any case, it makes me wonder how many people out there really are influenced by these ads. Of course every ad (for either side) states that candidate X did this, or didn't do that. How many people take the ads at face value, without considering the full story? How many voters base their vote on what they hear and see in advertising and not on individual thought?

Prime example; A radio ad came on today professing Mccain's support of stem-cell research and how much good that can do. Immediately following that was an Obama ad claiming his support for the same issue plus Mccain's supposed opposition to it. Hmmmm...

Frankly I probably don't want to know the answer to any of these questions. I'm guessing I'd either have to kill myself or hunt down all those that base their votes on political ads. You know, clean the gene pool a bit. While the latter would be a lot of fun, the former is easier. Or maybe I'll plan on spending the next 6 weeks drunk and immersed in a media free zone. Perhaps somewhere like Azeroth...

Kristen Bell was on The Tonight Show a while back, here's her interview. The best part is about 5 minutes into the clip. Snarky if you haven't seen it you need to ;)




"Shoot across the room", Giggity!

A small group of friends went to Akumal last week (a little town south of Cancun). A good time was had by all, and many stories to tell. However this picture taken in the Cancun airport tells it's own story:

Nothing subtle about that!

Customer Quote of the Month - September

Customer looking at our masks, "I only swim, so I'm looking for something basic."

Me, "Well, these are all more for snorkeling and diving rather swimming. Of course, that you can't use them for swimming. Just with these, your nose is enclosed in the mask."

CLaOM, "It covers your nose? How do you breath?"

Me, "Um, your mouth..."

CLaOM,"Oh".
