Life Kills: July 2007 Archives
There's simply no lack of excellence on the part of the movie 300. Now, though, it just got a tiny bit cooler. Kudos to the characters that thought this gem up. Click on the picture to bring up a bigger (far more legible) version.
For Jim's birthday, he got dashboard ninjas. There is no cooler gift, and he knows it. Aside from this, he also got my presence at his dinner table. Now that's a gift of dubious quality... and who knows what mischief I'm getting into at the end of the table. Looks like I'm having a great time, though!
No, that's not totally correct: Harry and Christina are pregnant again! Fantastic news from across the country (those bastards live about as far as they can from me without moving across an ocean - although some might consider that a very wise move indeed.) I'm stoked for another Porudominsky kid to play with.
Admittedly, it is weird to see people that you've known for so long do things like, you know, get married, have kids, get all domestic an' stuff. Freaky. But it's a really good thing, and I'm extremely happy for them. Congratulations to them!
But how does little Alex (their current child) feel about this? In an interview, he was quoted as saying "If it's a boy, he must be called Johnson. If it's a girl, you shall name her Susan." (I wonder if he said that with an English accent?) His parents have other ideas for names, but Alex is holding his ground like the Spartans at Thermopylae: "If it's not Susan or Johnson, the baby will hate the name, because it's simply not normal."
Oh, Alex, you're such a little scamp! Whatever the child's name in the end, I'm sure it'll be sweet. Like Thor. Or Grog.
No, seriously. This ad is hilariously old school, but it really does come off as slightly insane. Maybe a little more than slightly. And with all this dancing around and shaking the bottle, wouldn't that just be plain dangerous? And yes, that's the guy from American Werewolf in London. What? You've never seen that movie? I'm not surprised (and neither is he.)
Anyway, watch, and enjoy the original taste of 23 flavors dancing around the screen to a catchy jingle. Carbonated prune juice, indeed.
