Ugliest car alive...

So, I'm in the Target parking lot and I see what has to be the ugliest car I've ever witnessed. It looked like a cross between a Scion (sorry James) and the Jetsonmobile. I present, for your horror, the Nissan Cube:

Seriously, look at that monstrosity. Gross. And what kind of Trekkie engineer thought it was a good idea to put some Geordi La Forge glasses on this thing?

I can't even describe how much awfuller (yeah, it's so ugly, I'm making up words to describe it) it looks in person. It's like Castro barfed and they put it on wheels. Who would buy this? Who? GROSS!!!

TiVo done done me wrong...

So, as we all know, Alison and I are watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

We'd been waiting for TiVo to record the two part (because one part can't contain all the drama!) reunion special. And waiting. And waiting.

Finally, I decided to look it up and see what the deal was. Turns out our season pass is for The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The reunion special had a different name: The Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion Special Part 1. As you can guess, the second part had it's own unique name too.

Why in the world would you change the name and eff up everyone's season pass? It's like when The Bachelor changed the name to The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman for one season and we missed the first two episodes. Why would you do that?

C'mon TiVo! Be intuitive! If the label is that close, record it for me. I won't be mad. Worse case, I delete it. No harm, no foul.

But at least I won't miss my precious reunion shows.

*sidenote* The reunion special was way overhyped and it was, all in all, pretty boring.

More Target eavesdropping...

So, again, I'm in Target, and hearing snippets of conversations as I trudge down every aisle, trying not to yell at people who have stopped their cart in the middle so no one can get by, when I hear this:

Have you heard of that show, um, Seinfeld? There's this fat loser guy named George and...

I had to keep walking at that time before my face exploded. Nope, I've never heard of this Seinfeld you speak of. Perhaps tomorrow you can enlighten me on cars...

Morons in line at Target...

So, Alison and I are in line at Target and the cashier tells us, "This is going to be awhile."

Turns out, the two moronic High School Musical wannabe chicks just can't add. They had $60 between them and guess what their bill came to.

Guess.

$91.22!!!!

They missed by over half of what they had! They missed by over $30! How can you not count that out? Seriously...are you that dumb?

Then, the cashier starts taking stuff out of the bags, to figure out what they're going to put back. First two items...two huge beach towels. Nope...they needed those.

3rd through 12th items...10 packs of gum!!!

10 packs of gum? Really? REALLY?? I mean, come on, you know you don't have that much money, maybe you can get, oh I don't know, 1 pack of gum. Or maybe two, so then you'll have more packs of gum than brains between the two of you.

Now, I don't know if this is just me being Grandpa Brent (Back in my day...people could actually count) or if these two were really that dumb. I have to believe that they were really that stupid.

It's come to this...

This last weekend, I watched a show on the History Channel about old Asian weapons and how good they actually were (like the Staff, etc.).

Really Summer TV, put something on. I mean, sure, I'm still going to watch, but if you're not careful, I may knock my TV time down from 8 hours a day. You wouldn't like that, I'm sure...

Curling Iron Warning?

So, I'm in the bathroom and I notice Alison's curling iron and it has the following warning on it:

Unfortunately, it didn't mention anything about ears and now I'm going to be deaf for a week...

Who's the Boss?

If you've been watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey (yes Sikes, I'm talking to you), then you obviously know who the boss is, right? Right?

That's right...it's MONA!!!

Bartering?

So, I have this CD for sale on Amazon. It's list price is $99.98.

So, I get the following e-mail:

Is this the Re-Release or 1st Press??Could you lower the prcie to $25??

And I have to respond with this:

It's the first press. And, I assume you mean price, not prcie. If so, I cannot lower the price to $25. However, I know of a gift card you can buy for UPULLRPARTS that you might be interested in...

Target Time!

So, I'm walking out of Target when 5 team members were walking in (apparently, they don't know the difference between an in-door and an out-door and I got swept up in their wrong way wave). I caught this snippet of their "conversation":

Employee A: Yeah, I guess.
Employee B: Well, it really depends on what kind of Windex they used.
All the rest of the employees nod their heads furiously, like Employee B just split the atom.

I plan to go back there tomorrow to hear their follow up conversation:

Ammonia: The Silent Cleaner

Geico Cavemen?

So, I'm zipping through the commercials in Charm School (you go Ricki Lake) yesterday when one of them caught my eye.

Yep...Geiko has brought those annoying, unfunny cavemen back. Or maybe they've never left, I'm not sure.

All I know is...come on. I thought we were done with this blatant rip off of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer (RIP) after their TV show (TV SHOW!!!) got cancelled mid-way through season 1...in 2007!

But apparently, I was wrong.

Now, I'm no ad-wizard (I'm a Brent), but perhaps, just maybe, if people have been annoyed by this "phenomenon" since (I'm guessing) 2005, why are they making new commercials for them? WHY?

And why aren't they as clever as this?
