A couple of years ago I noticed that Shell Oil merged (or bought out, I forget which) Texaco. Over time, all the Texaco gas stations in this area became Shell stations. The Texaco gas card I had was replaced by a Shell card I was sent. Then Mobil & Exxon merged, and became ExxonMobil Oil. […]
Something I’ve always wondered is why car companies feel compelled to use inflatable something or other to get attention. I mean, does anyone ever actually see one of these things and go “Oh. I wasn’t thinking about buying a car, but with this stupid inflatable here, I think I’ll pull in and take a look”. […]
Krispy Kreme introduces a frozen beverage drink, presumably to compete with Starbucks Frappucino drink. One of them is glazed flavored! http://money.cnn.com/2004/07/21/news/midcaps/krispy_kreme/index.htm.

Some people are too stupid to live. Like this guy. OMG!
Not Dubya (not that he’s an MIT grad anyway), but I’m talking about his twit brother Jeb Bush. Not only did his state cause a complete fiasco in the last presidential election, but now he goes and DOES SOMETHING AS STUPID AS THIS. What’s the message here? Act like a total jackass and you’ll get […]
In another move by perpetually annoying group of twonks named PETA, they.. aw hell, just read the news story below. In honor of these morons, I’ll be sure and have a steak tonight.
Everyone else is talking about this, I might as well weigh in on the subject, too. OK, as I’m sure everyone noticed on Sunday evening, Janet Jackson had her right breast exposed on national television. It was quite frankly, the only thing worthwhile about the entire halftime show. Halftime shows are generally crap, although the […]
