Thursday Thirteen #34 – Thirteen Commercials that Make My Ears Bleed

Feb 20, 2008 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Features, Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Commercials that Make My Ears Bleed
1. FreeCreditReport.com – I don’t know what annoys me more: the stupid singing, the dumb face the guy is making at the end that looks suspiciously like one of those IDIOTIC Myspace posed photos with the puckered lips and a peace sign (Oh, you’re in 8th grade? Then that’s okay.), or the fact that the audio isn’t in sync with the video.

2. Mr. Spriggs BBQ – “Meat falls off the bone.” What more can I say.

3. Hinder, “Lips of an Angel” TV Spot – Please tell me what the lead “singer” thinks he’s doing with his arms. He looks like a T-Rex with half a brain.

4. Check Into Cash – “You got a cash emergency, you got a money may day.”

5. HeadOn – I don’t know if this stuff works, but the commercials are enough to convince me not to buy it.

6. Easy-Off Bam – The smell of their oven cleaner could take out a pachyderm.

7. Sync – I’m a Chevy girl (though I’ve only ever driven an Oldsmobile) so I won’t be getting one of these.

8. Avis – You can’t rent a car until you’re 25, right? Too bad for me.

9. Cox Communications DSL – I have Cox digital cable, telephone, and internet. That means I can’t escape their commercials.

10. Earl’s Rib Palace

11. Gary England “Calm During the Storm” – I should be honest and say that this scares me more than anything else.

12. 1-800-2SellHomes – At least it’s not 1-800-NoAgent with the CALL NOW CALL NOW CALL NOW CALL NOW anymore.

13. It has arrived! – WHO ARE THEY MARKETING THIS TO?

myself into and am probably not as scared as I should be.

Thursday Thirteen #30 – The 13 (Give or Take) Movies I’ve Seen In A Theater

Oct 17, 2007 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Features, Movies, Thursday Thirteen

So, I was raised with some beliefs that not many people share, myself included, but I just want to preface this by saying that I respect anyone who does hold these beliefs. Including my parents. Anyway, while I was growing up we never saw movies in the theater. I say never but I actually saw two when I was younger. Most movies I have seen in a theater have been in the past 4-5 years. This means I haven’t seen very many. And most of the ones I HAVE seen were pretty awful. Here goes!

The Thirteen (Give or Take) Movies I’ve Seen In A Theater
1. Pocahontas (1995)
2. Inspector Gadget (1999)
3. The Prince & Me (2004)
4. The Notebook (2004)
5. The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
6. In Good Company (2004)
7. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)
8. The Ring Two (2005)
9. Spanglish (2004)
10. Wimbledon (2004)
11. Finding Neverland (2004)
12. Just Like Heaven (2005)
13. John Tucker Must Die (2006)

Others: (I’ll add them as I think of them) Dirty Dancing (2007 -
20th Anniversary Re-release)

Thursday Thirteen #28

Sep 27, 2007 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Features, Listy, TV, Thursday Thirteen

In honor of the premiere of Season 4 of The Office… My Top Thirteen Favorite Episodes of The Office (US)

13. Christmas Party – Lots of sweetness between Jim and Pam. I

love it.

12. E-mail Surveillance – We get to see where Jim lives! Sidenote:

I absolutely cannot stand Michael’s improv scenes. They make me

feel so sad for him.

11. Ben Franklin – Dwight: I don’t care what Jim says, that is not

the real Ben Franklin. I am 99% sure.

10. Halloween – Dwight as a Sith Lord. So great.

9. Boys and Girls – Dwight: Remember on LOST when they meet

“the Others”?

8. Business School – A bat. In the office. Jim. As a vampire. And I

must admit that every time I see that poor kid’s text book getting

ripped up by Michael, I cringe. Because, my friends, that is real pain.

7. The Return – Andy [To Michael] – “I forgot to tell you the plan

for this Saturday. You, me, bar, beers, buzzed. Wings, shots, drunk!

Waitresses – hot! Football, Cornell-Hofstra, slaughter! Then quick

nap at my place, then we hit the tizzown.” And then there’s “Rockin’

Robin.”

6. The Carpet – There is poop on the floor. That is comedy, folks.

5. Drug Testing – Once again, Dwight in costume (well, uniform).

4. Casino Night – The night so many of us had been waiting for.

Sigh. Together at last…not.

3. Women’s Appreciation – See this.

2. Initiation – Dwight’s cousin Mose jumping out of nowhere to fight

Ryan is one of my favorite scenes, period. “What… is the DHARMA

Initiative?!”

1. The Injury – It’s been my favorite for a long time. Nothing has

been able to bump it out of its spot yet. Michael GRILLS his foot

on a George Forman Grill. “I like waking up to the smell of bacon.

Sue me.”
