Theres an appliance repair guy around here. Companys name is "Call my Daddy". He has a huge picture of his kid on the side of his truck. Hes been using the same picture of her for about 25 yrs. I'm sure that poor kid took tons of abuse over that.

Slight hijack. Since I was about six, there has been a sign on Rt. 539 in the NJ Pine Barrens that reads "Blind Child". I'm 37 now and that sign is still there. No way is that blind guy a child. He's probably moved or died too.

539 in Manchester?

Can't remember. It's by all those onion domed churches where all the mailboxes have Russian surnames on them.

I once wanted to look on the Dick's Sporting Goods website, and simply typed in dicks.com. Never again...........

Anything that uses the letter z to appear hip. "Hot Ridez", etc. Car ads where they yell at you "BUY TODAY", "IF YOU DON'T COME SEE ME TODAY I CAN'T SAVE YOU ANY MONEY". Companies that use religious signs to show their high integrity. People that put their kids and family in ads to show how nice they are. Cutsey animated characters (Cox cable guy, Mr Opportunity, Chuckie Cheese). That's a start. Lots of stuff on TV annoys me, probably why I don't watch much.

There's a popular club in the Gaslamp district in San Diego named Dick's Last Resort. Never been there myself, but can't help wondering if the girls that hang there look any better at closing time.

Driving thru Maywood Il. on the way to work today. Passed a new hair place called "Who Kut U". Anyone that knows Maywood knows that the name fits perfectly.
