We watch tee vee from the U.S. from time to time (when the rain keeps us indoors.) Gonna have to break that habit because we hate the tee vee commercials from the chain restaurants. We prefer the ones advertised on YellowPages.com.

We both are jonesin’ for some Americun foods… I have already told Bulbous that when I visit, I just want to eat junk food and watch the Big Ass TeeVee in High Definition. A combo of vegging out and pigging out. (Watching via the internet really sucks here because there just isn’t the bandwidth yet at Casa de Boondocks.)

Get this: chain restaurants are booming! Check out this infographic:

I think Danica Patrick is cute. Not hot. Not sexy. Not slutty. Just cute.

I’m getting old.

But in her latest commercial for Boost Mobile, Danica Patrick says I still have a shot to have her go motor-boating in my man boobs.

Because we all know, what is in commercials actually happens in real life.

Bob Parsons

Even if Bob Parsons, the GoDaddy.com guy, doesn’t. I think he thinks that throwing lots of money at Danica Patrick to appear as a stripper in his commercials will get him a shot.

News flash Bobbo. My man boobs have a better shot than your money.

I saw it on a commercial.

Which BTW: Boost Mobile sounds like a plan I need. Now I just need to score really cool unlocked phone for a buck and a half.

PS: Danica Patrick will make the move to NASCAR and eat their lunch.

Nancy is heading to Hotlanta for a big knitters confab. She may make a stop to stock up, I certainly am!

The Junk Drawer Blog is goofing off somewhere this week, but she left an assignment for her commenters. She stole a comment game from Comedy Plus.

The Junk Drawer Blog is fun, but whoooo boy, her commenters are just so vanilla, so white bread, so unimaginative.

Here’s how SHE explained the Comment Game.

It’s very simple. I start the game off by listing two words or phrases, like waffles or pancakes, and you pick the one you like better. You can explain why if you like.

She started with Twitter or Facebook. Nice start, but OMG, her commenters responded with choices like:

• Mac or PC
• Coffee or Tea
• Boxers or Briefs
• Peanut Butter or Jelly

I. am. NOT. kidding. And it goes on for over 100 comments.

I played too, here were my choice:

• Po or Laa Laa – which the next person said they didn’t have a clue about. Dur, Hello Google? So I came back with…
• Clarabelle or Crusty – which the next poster didn’t know, but chose Clarabelle because it was a nice name! OMG, puh-leeze! My final entry, before I decided to hijack this idea was…
• Simon Cowell or Simon & Shuster. The next commenter chose Simon Cowell because she hadn’t heard of “the other one.”

LISTEN UP. Here’s the deal. I am taking over this idea.

There is a big prize involved.

A wonderful Marilyn Monroe shirt from the wonderful people at TeesForAll.com. I wanted a gift certificate from TeaseForMe.com, but haven’t heard back. TeesforAll.com is not doing this because they like me, they want to sell you some Tee shirts. Surprise. Surprise. Surprise. They have a really cool Stones shirt, and some other Boomer targeted stuff.

WIN THIS SHIRT

No, it doesn’t have to be the Marilyn Monroe baby-doll with pink stripes, unless you want it. And then I want a picture of you in it.

HERE’S HOW WE’RE GONNA PLAY:

It’s kind of like the The Junk Drawer Blog contest, BUT, the combinations need to be weird, arcane, tricky, smart, obscure, clever, whatever. (Like my examples! )

AND: you must explain why you chose the word you did, to avoid miscellaneous fakery.

After a while, I’ll close the comments and then we will vote on the best combination.  Finalists may be contacted to provide a full and complete explanation of their word combinations so you can’t fake it easily.

Got it? Good.

Here is my combination, you take it from here:

Sky King or Enola Gay?

It’s time for everybody to just shut up about Krispy Kreme. It’s a glazed donut. Nothing more. The store has a neon sign in the window that says Hot Now. So what if you can walk in and see the lovely plump circles of doughy goodness climb out of the hot grease only to be coated with a luscious glaze and put in the box with your name on it?

Stop. Enough already.

Krispy Kreme Challenge? No,not what you imagine,  it’s a foot race! 4 miles, some donuts and a small tee shirt. $16. Sponsored by a donut maker.

Krispy Kreme valentine donuts?

Just shut up  (we don’t have a Krispy Kreme.)

Yes, I am slightly obsessing over this fact. Here is  the story.

We used to have a Krispy  Kreme.

A big hail storm hit Smallburg and wiped out lots of roofs. Krispy  Kreme closed because of “hail damage.”

They never reopened.

Here is the scoop. The franchise could not exist on my once a week dozen. But they didn’t have the bucks to close it down and have to pay off all the associated costs.

Viola! Cello! Hail storm, big insurance settlement.

Store closes forever. Owner skeedaddles.

So just shut up about Krispy Kreme, mmmmK?

Oh yeah, it’s spelled donuts.
