His college major is (was) sports broadcasting. He wants to do play-by-play. Maybe he can bring his “a-doe-able” blanket with him in the booth.

...commonly known as brittle bone disease. There a 4 different types, which vary in severity, and the severity varies from mild with normal life span to severe with death in infancy.

Here's a link to more info, if you are interested:

I posted this on December 20th - A new low has been reached in advertising - talking pee and poop emojis.

Just yesterday, I saw a new ad campaign for Pull-Ups training pants. If I had kids or grandkids of an age to need training pants, I would NOT be buying this brand.

It features a talking drop of urine and a pile of poop with a vaguely British accent. The emojis are sitting on a roll of toilet paper, discussing how proud they are of a child learning to use the bathroom. They even have names - Yureen and Terd. How crude.

Seriously???!!! I thought the Dude Wipes commercial was gross enough. No dignity, no sophistication.

I also despise the perennial most-frequently-mentioned Kars For Kids atrocity, and the Jardiance ads. I'm sick to death of the Flo/Progressive ads, especially Jimmy and the whiny-voiced girl with the sourpuss face.

attention back when Burger King introduced their creepy king character 3 decades ago. I guess provoking positive good vibes has been overdone in ads. And look at us: we remember the names of the products.

The one with the teenage girl going berserk on her family, because she expected "a steak-cation, not a vacation!" You know, the one that seems to be playing 46 times a day, now.

Fortunately I live in an area with plenty of first-rate steakhouses, so I don't ever have to patronize Outback again.

I'm proud to say I can invent all sorts of
mindless stuff to keep me amused -without commercials.
I stopped watching in early November, 2016.
Coincidence?
Perhaps.
