Sunday Silliness: the wrong flavor edition

by dr-exmedic

Here’s an ad from the Sunday paper a few weeks ago that’s unintentionally hilarious and disgusting to anyone who thinks of BV as an abbreviation for bacterial vaginosis.

The BV in the ad, incidentally, is actually a vineyard.
Bonus link:  irony, defined.

Sunday Silliness: I thought they smelled bad on the outside edition

by dr-exmedic

It’s only natural that I would fall in love with an online store named ThinkGeek, but they’ve really outdone themselves with this sleeping bag.

Sunday Silliness: pump and blow in popular culture edition

by dr-exmedic

Just a roundup of funny CPR-related video clips I’ve seen over the years….

Sunday Silliness: Playtex parking edition

by dr-exmedic

I figure the picture and post title say it all, but I still can’t figure out why 18 hours is the allowed parking time.  Incidentally, this sign was in Napoleon, OH, across from the middle school.

Sunday Silliness: labor power edition

by dr-exmedic

Since Labor Day is tomorrow, and there are cries of Socialism everywhere (or at least at town hall meetings, anyway), it seems appropriate to point out that one of the people we always thought was an all-American hero might actually be a dirty Communist.  If you’re not into reading, a rough draft of a documentary [...]

Sunday Silliness: zoom zoom edition

by dr-exmedic

My wife and I have discovered that I should never, ever drive anywhere immediately after watching an episode of Top Gear.  It just isn’t safe.

Sunday Silliness: the ad jumped over the moon edition

by dr-exmedic

There is an episode of G.I. Joe in which Cobra Commander tries to use a laser to engrave his face–well, mask–on the moon.  That’s all I could think of when I saw a website offering ads on the moon:  literally, your logo or message, inscribed across the moon, visible from Earth during quarter moons.
I figure this is [...]

Sunday Silliness: sucker for ads edition

by dr-exmedic

With a background in TV production, I’ve had a closer relationship to the making of ads than someone without that background (albeit not all that close, seeing as how I ended that background by starting paramedic school).  As a result, I’m a sucker for an entertaining ad campaign, like the current one for Post Shredded Wheat, [...]

Sunday Silliness: bazillions of bricks edition

by dr-exmedic

I don’t know what I’m more jealous of:  the fact that someone has the creativity to build a fully accurate model of a UK ambulance out of Legos (complete to the rear stretcher lift), or the fact that someone has the time to do so.

See more here.  See an entire Lego Fire District–multiple departments serving [...]

Sunday Silliness: states’ worth edition

by dr-exmedic

I’ve frequently said that North Carolina must not have much going for it if their biggest point of pride–immortalized on both their license plate and state quarter–is the accomplishment of two visiting Ohioans.  That said, I must admit that being “First in Flight” (even if only because you have a windy spot with soft sand [...]
