09/22/99 I like trying to decide what animal a person looks like while I'm watching TV. A lot of people look like turtles or some sort of rodent. Sometimes, though, someone will show up who looks like a wolf. If my last name was "Bacon", I would want my first name to be "Crisp". Crisp Bacon is a strong, beautiful name. And Trot Nixon... "Honey, let's name the boy 'Trot'." "OK." They're tearing up the street outside our house. I'm not sure why, but I take it that they're either repaving it or they're going to start messing with the water pipes. It's really annoying - they work from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and they're loud and in the way of pulling out of the driveway. The cat was entertained by it for a while, but now she's sick of it too. And the dust they're stirring up is awful. There was this promo ad on TV a few years ago, and we never could figure out what the guy was saying. It was an ad for Eggo waffles, and the announcer person would say, "And you don't even have to put your pants on!" Then the pantless animated guy would take a bite of his waffle and say what sounded like, "Mmm! Tasty pirates!" Michael and I taped that and listened to it again and again, but we could never make sense of it. I don't think we get those promo ads anymore. Pity. <<< past     next >>> el journal loco tasty-pirate.org
