Quick Hitters
As it’s Friday again, we Birds know that you all are usually ready to get out of the office as soon as possible. That means more work and less Internet time. So we’re here to accommodate with a bunch of short, quick-hitting thoughts that you can take with you on the road this weekend. Read a few. Read em all. And as always, share your thoughts with us before you go.
- How is it that there are tons of national burger chains, several national pizza chains and only one taco chain? Seriously. With the success of Taco Bell, has no other food conglomerate thought there might be a market for fast, delicious tacos? Think about it – there’s not a single challenger to the late night border run.
- Congress is considering passing a bill to ensure commercials are always broadcast at the volume level of the show you are watching. As if marketing wasn’t being pushed completely online already…
- Aside from my hatred for science, my fear of drills and my tendency to be completely disgusted by bad breath, I can’t think of a single reason why I shouldn’t have become a dentist. There isn’t a sweeter gig in the world.
- Thorough is without a doubt the hardest 10-letter or less word to type in the English language.
- Jimmy Fallon still laughs at his own jokes. How is this guy famous?
- According to their commercials, GM has decided to reinvent themselves. To start from scratch and come back stronger than ever. Okay, GM. Okay. So you’re telling us you decided that. Okay.
- For being a predominantly patriarchal society, dads sure do get screwed on the whole holiday thing.
- Gas is back up to almost a $3 a gallon national average. Doesn’t it seem like no one cares this time?
- At least Sarah Palin isn’t blowing anything out of proportion this week. Our only hope is that this moron is the GOP nominee. Not too often we can say our degrees are better than those of a presidential candidate.
- How the hell does every single girl in the world have the same handwriting?
- We firmly believe that next to limericks, haikus are the most beautiful form of poetry.
Happy Friday everyone. And please, comment away.
Hey Birds…well done with the single-girl-handwriting observation. I have had this discussion many times with whoever will listen. Who else writes a lower case “a” like you see it when you type? Only hot single chicks, I swear. And they always have a unique way of writing the number 4. And the mentally unbalanced chick writes in all CAPS but still dots the i. Can’t explain it. I think this topic deserves more attention with a full in-depth post, as only the Birds can do it…
Good call on the post
I found it to be spot on
Well done Surly Birds
Ever heard of Taco Bueno? Yeah I’ve never ate there, either.
Taco Bueno is FAR FAR superior to Taco Bell.
Speaking of things that no one seems to care about…the pig flu? Seriously people, you freak out about it when it first comes to the US and there are no associated fatalities, but now that it has been here for months and killed 45 people no one cares anymore. What’s up with that?
Ever heard of Taco John’s? I would have to say that this is Taco Bell’s biggest competitor. And I know I’m going to catch some flak for this, but I feel that Taco John’s is tastier than Taco Bell, however, not quite as convenient, as it is not open late-night.
