The evolution of chicken products and the Cola Wars.

Kids today would not believe us, but when were were kids there were not chicken nuggets! Chicken McNugget's weren't released by McDonald's until 1984, so I were 9 years old at the time. Once they were released they were very popular and usually served with honey. We wonder what advances in "chicken processing technology" made these products so widely available so suddenly. Before this time if had chicken it was whole, legs, or the breast was on the bone. I don't remember any boneless chicken breasts although I'm sure they were around but probably just too expensive.
I often wonder what it's like to be a child born in the 90's- do they think this stuff was around forever?
Somehow this discussion with Chad turned to the Cola Wars---- the fact that there really was this big media war over Coke and Pepsi. If our civilization ends and its ancient ruins are discovered by explorers, will they really think that the Cola Wars were real?

Mimes are people, too.

This morning we saw a commercial on TBS. It was a mime in a box and a mime outside a box pretending to be in a box. The question, which is funnier?
I say, give mimes a break. At least they don't talk- and they really are the least threatening of clowns.
When did it come so socially acceptable to bash mimes? Why do we do that? We're just prejudiced and don't think about it. Are they really that annoying? How often has any of us really encountered an annoying mime (reminds me of Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie?) Have we been brainwashed by movies and popular culture to dislike mimes?
Anyway, I pick the mime pretending to be in a box, instead of the one actually in the box. The mime in the box looked really sad.

Bad Publicity is Still Publicity.

Surfing around Yahoo! News I came across a story titled " • Listen to Kevin Federline's first single 'PopoZao'". I had to click. A few months ago, I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Fed's first single, "Ya'll Ain't Ready."
There is something to be said for anything that makes you laugh so hard. There was no sense of rhythm and the lyrics were horrible, making it even more hysterical. The song got into my head, but I hated it. I would recite the lyrics to Chad causing him to laugh, but an annoying laugh.
What is it with this guy? I really can't stand him. I'm not really a (post-K'Fed marriage) Britney fan, either.
I always think that it's a little mean of me to dislike him so much, but I think most of it is because of him leaving his pregnant girlfriend for Britney Spears. I wonder if he'll be famous because so many people dislike him? I mean, this guy is still getting coverage although he clearly has no musical talent what-so-ever. Will people's annoyance with K'Fed propel him to stardom?
He reminds me of a few kids I went to school with- everyone disliked them, but yet they were almost popular. Bad publicity is still publicity, and people like me need to stop clicking on the links and giving them incentive to release their crappy music. My media player wasn't compatible, anyway.
