Another cool, rainy day. I seem to have lost my umbrella. I thought it was in the car, but it's not. I haven't seen it around in a while. So today, an old Folio Weekly I found stashed behind my car seat is my new umbrella. It doesn't work well.
I've realized another pet peeve of mine. One I'm sure I've always had, but finally realized how strongly I felt about it just yesterday. Sara Lee, the food corporation/bread company/whatever, has the slogan, "Nobody Doesn't Like Sara Lee" Can we say Double Negative? I can...
And Chik-fil-A has always bothered me. Why aren't parents protesting that they are advertising misspelled words and giving a bad influence to learning minds? If I were a parent, I'd protest. Or, if I were a growing child, who spelt chicken like 'chikin' because that's how Chik-Fil-A does it, then I'd protest. I'm no english major, or anything close to it, but obvious and purposeful improper english is annoying. Are you counting how many mistakes I've just made? Keep in mind, mine aren't purposeful. :oP
And More:
"Rolled around on kitchen floors.
Tied my tongue in pretty bows with yours.
And now we pass and just like glass
I see through you, you see through me like I'm not there.
You could make my head swerve.
Used to know my every curve.
And now we meet on a street,
And I am blind. I can not find the heart I gave to you."

That's a really good lyric. And to make you feel better about frozen baked goods, I think it's "Nobody Does It Like Sara Lee" which, while gramatically correct, has a plethora of entendre:) I think it's funny how people hear different things, for the longest time I thought the song lyric for (Beck I think) was "Somebody get the door/I'm a loser baby/so why don't you kill me" I couldn't understand it, was he so much of a loser that he couldn't answer his own door? Andy laughed at me for that one. I had a friend that thought "badmoon on the rise" was "there's a bathroom on the right".
I didn't hear it though, I read it on the Sara Lee truck. Perhaps I can't read correctly... and thats a whole new reason to blog and complain.
I stand corrected. http://www.tvacres.com/admascots_saralee.htm
