I woke up in the middle of the night to an infomercial for this DVD set called Your Baby Can Read! They were charging upwards of $200 for this set of DVD’s and cards that you could use to start teaching your baby, as in under a year old, to read. I remember thinking “What …

Talking Blind Man’s Blues
Jen sent me something that I think needs a spot up on this old blog. I give you the Talking Blind Man’s Blues. It says it’s by Chrissie Cochrane, but I swear Chrissie a. is female and b. doesn’t sound like that. But it’s a good song and it made me chuckle. And it also …
Milky The Marvelous Milking Cow
Watching this ad, I have no idea how this fantastic product never caught on. It never did catch on, did it? I mean honestly, how could anybody possibly resist a song like that and the promise of pretend milk?
Do The Roundabout Flop
Ug! Remember when I said Kitchener-Waterloo had a catchy little roundabout song? Well, they’ve rolled out the second part of the ad campaign, and this time, they failed! That commercial is annoying. I’ve only seen it twice, and I want to punch someone.
This Video Blows!
Edit: I guess I got my wish when I said this video has to go. It’s been pulled. I doubt they did it for me though. It’s probably because that video is out of date. Hopefully they didn’t make a new, crappy one for the Victor Reader Trek. Aside: Hahahahaha Victor Reader Trek. Is anyone …
More Bad Ads
Here we go with a few commercials that have caught our attention. While I was at home, I happened to walk by the TV, which is near the table where we eat. As I did, I heard something to the effect of “You’re in a tropical paradise…when it hits you. The gut-wrenching panic of traveller’s …
Random Thought Post time
I had some thoughts floating around in my head so thought I’d put them down. I don’t know if this is long enough to lock the VO keys for, but hey, it might surprise me. I’m dangerous when I get going. God, all this bullshit with Stephen Harper suspending parliament just so he can avoid …
Eh! O! This Cheer Can Go!
I should have written this post yesterday. It seems a little late now. Oh well. I’ve been seeing stupid commercials similar to this one where Pepsi was telling everyone to “learn” this new cheer “written” by a Canadian. The cheer is, as everyone in Canada well knows and wants to forget, “Eh! O! Canada go!” …
If They Think This Is Hard, Just Wait Until They Find Out About The Snowsuit
Good news for everyone who hasn’t quite got the scarf figured out. The Necky is coming to the rescue! If you order now you can also get a free lock de-icer, even though it seems a touch odd that somebody who can’t put cloth over themselves without snaps would be able to operate a car …

I’m Running Out Of Names For These Thought Posts
Here comes another thought splatter. Enjoy. Silly Trixie has a new morning habit. She usually sleeps out in her bed in the living room. I have no idea why. But at some point in the night, she gets up and comes to the bed by me. But she used to just come in and lay …
