Happy Valentine’s Day Peggy

Valentines DayJust to balance out the loving and lovely, video I posted earlier this morning I thought I’d add this funny eCard which I’ve posted in years past.  It still makes me laugh and I hope it brings a smile to your day as well.

Joke of the day

InterviewingLast week I posted a joke and it seemed quite popular so I thought I’d give this another try.

As the interview was winding down the hiring manager asked the interview candidate, if you could have a conversation with anyone, living or dead, who would it be?

Anxious to give the best answer possible, the candidate stroked their chin and thought about how to answer for a moment before saying decisively, “I think I’d choose the living one.

Silly Siri

Silly SiriMy friend, Jesse is a bit of a computer nerd and switched up his iPhone so Siri is a bit sassy.  I have to admit, I might like Siri more if she responded like this.

Previous Silly Siri responses:  Santa lives on Fire Island and Lavern & Shirley.

Sky Mall early spring 2013 catalog

Sky Mall

This can be all yours courtesy of Sky Mall for $24.95

I have not ridiculed Sky Mall shoppers yet this year, so with a 7 hour flight (you read that correctly) from Boston to San Francisco last week I found myself with ample time to peruse the Early Spring 2013 catalog.  While there were many items that left me scratching my head wondering “Who buys this crap?“, none had me more baffled than the Mounted Squirrel Head.  The write up in the catalog is even more laughable…”Ok, so you didn’t bag this bad boy in person.But you know you would if you could, so we did it for you…

Sky Mall

Sold on the Sky Mall catalog for only $499

I should mention that I felt the Mademoiselle Haute Couture Floor Lamp Statue should receive an honorable mention as well.

I assume the buyer of this product probably purchased the A Christmas Story leg lamp which they sold in their 2012 holiday edition catalog.

Product placement

Product placementSteve Annear a reporter for BostInno posted this photo on Twitter last month.  Clearly this local CVS understands the value in cross-marketing.  With Valentine’s Day later this week, I thought the photo more than appropriate.

Funny photo of the day

Machu PicchuThe HuffingtonPost called this photobomb from a rogue llama an “instant classic” and I kind of have to agree with them.  Taken by Erica Kuschel while on vacation with her husband, this llama apparently is no shrinking violet and inserted itself in Erica’s photograph of the ancient Incan city, Machu Picchu.

You can read more about the photograph here.

Starwood Hotels new advertising campaign

Impressive Packages

In light of my previous post about hotel chain rankings, perhaps, I can suggest Starwood consider spicing up their advertising to get more attention.  I have to admit I’d be tempted to learn more about their impressive packages.  Then again, maybe this would be an example of why it is best to leave this sort of thing to advertising professionals.

Joke of the day

LaughingQ: What do you call a gay Jamaican guy?

A: Pokemon.

I know the joke is quite cheesy but it gave me a good chuckle, and I hope it makes you smile and laugh today too. Have a great day.

Silly Siri

Silly SiriThis past December I included the post, Santa lives on Fire Island. My friend Jesse is a bit of a computer nerd and switched up his iPhone to have Siri provide cheeky answers to set questions like this one above which gives a nod to Laverne & Shirley, a popular US television show from the 70s and 80s.  Too funny.

Artist ISO inspiration

Frustrated ArtistsDuring an intermission at a local theater I saw this on the bathroom stall.

Spanx for men

SpanksWhile shopping at a department store in Boston I stumbled upon this display. It gave me a good chuckle.  I’d be tempted to see how this works but I immediately realized hiding my body issues won’t eliminate them.  The only cure for that is getting myself to the gym.  However, there appear to be no shortage of rather intriguing products targeting men to help them appear more fit and trim.  The next time I’m flying, I’ll have to see if Sky Mall sells any of these products.
