- Why do the car manufacturers make it so difficult for us to read the VIN? The eight looks like a B, the five looks like an S, the lower-case L looks like a one, and there’s no way to tell the difference between an O and a zero. What the [bleep]?
- Speaking of the VIN, that's one of those acronyms where we should be allowed to say 'number' at the end without being called an idiot. Yes I know I'm essentially saying 'vehicle identification number number', but can we please shut up about it?
- The McDonald’s Monopoly game has started back up. What’s to stop someone from creating a website called "monopolyneeds.com" or something, then agreeing to split the winnings with another individual who, combined between the two of them, will have the game pieces needed to win a grand prize? Greg, get on that. And I call half of your half.
- Why don’t people say 'hot dog' when they’re excited anymore? As soon as I successfully bring back 'no duh', I’m gonna try bringing back 'hot dog' too.
- If you’re looking for a website to keep you occupied for 300 or 400 hours or so, click here. It’s a database of every televised movie review of Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel/Richard Roeper (and some fill-ins) from the past 20 years. The Internet has been around for a while now, but in my opinion, this website should have been created first. My recommendations so far – Ebert’s hatred for the movie "North" and Siskel’s over-the-top love for the movie "Kingpin". Simply wonderful.
- With "The Sopranos" being over and "Entourage" completely sucking last season, is it time for me to scrap HBO and make the switch to Showtime? I hear good things about that Californication show. Although it's never a good sign for a movie channel if they play crappy movies during the freebie week.
- Go Cubs tonight? Blasphemy yes, but I don't care. Enjoy the playoffs.
I love "no duh"! I've also been trying (unsuccessfully) to bring it back, along with "oh huh." But I think I'm the only one that ever said that.
ReplyDeletewow you really stocked up on things to talk about when you were gone, didn't you?
ReplyDeletei agree with you, you have to say number after you say VIN or god only know whether you're talking about the car itself or The Fast & The Furious.
that said, isn't it slightly ironic that the co-star of a movie about cars was named VIN?
It would be kind of cool to see them finally win another World Series. Kind of like how I wanted Boston to win and break their curse, and could now care less if they ever win again.
