I loathe DirecTV, but their commercials from earlier this year were killer 

DIRECTV - "Don't Have a Grandson with a Dog Collar" 2012 Commercial

Charlie Sheen DIRECTV Commercial 2012

DIRECTV "Don't Have Your House Explode" 2012 Commercial

I was checking out the forecast for tonight in Spokane, WA via weather.com and at point it said "Areas of smoke and haze are possible, reducing visibilities at times." Anyone ever see (or even hear) that phrase on the IntelliSTAR before?

There was a commercial for Quibids I saw earlier today, and it was playing the same background music that TWC used for their 2010 weather.com "Makes Your Life a Breeze" ads.

Walk, Don't Run, to the nearest Kaleidoscope and you will find an Ocean View.

I did not update my avatar with a photo of a pink-colored sun during a sunset I took from my back deck at my house in Long Beach

McDonald's forgot my fries when I was ordering lunch at the drive-through earlier this afternoon so I went inside the restaurant to pick them up 

My parents are coming over to my house this weekend   

That could be the right emotion depending on how the weekend plays out...

OT: My folks don't actually drink very much. I just picked a random wrong emoticon.

OT: I know, that was apart of the joke I was trying to make. Also I wasn't talking about your parents as far as that's concerned, I was poking fun at you.

I can't believe I've been writing for almost 9 years, it doesn't feel that long. 

OT: Okay then, lol 

I prefer Coke over Pepsi

Apparently, NBC forgot 9/11 



NBC's 'Today' Skips 9/11 Moment Of Silence For Kardashian Interview

Wow, NBC is stupid    They need to know that 9/11 is much more important.

If Dish Network or DirecTV were to install satellite IntelliSTAR 2 units to their TWC HD feeds someday, this my concept of what it might look like. Basically you would have a SLF with a bug (generated by the IS2) on the upper right corner of the screen, much like what both satellite TV companies have on their SD TWC feeds.

I found a screenshot of an IS2 from an online source, took a screenshot of one of my HD TWC recordings, and used Adobe Photoshop to crop out the IS2 and left the Facebook/Twitter bug alone.

It's currently $4.04 here in LB, but down in Warrenton, OR at the Fred Meyer there, it's cheaper, at $3.87. Unlike Washington, Oregon does not have a sales tax, plus you can't pump your own gasoline in that state

Anyone here besides me find the :28/:58 LOT8s intro that simply just says "Now, your local on the 8s" dull and boring?
