I should work for an advertising firm
More ideas fomenting (or should that be fermenting?) in me 'ead.... As an example, I posted the following on the Admiral Twin msg board back on 06/08/05:
You! Sandwich-lover!
Mrs Sivana was sorting through the daily onslaught of mail we now get since we've moved the Fortress of Attitude into its permanent location (translation: since we bought a house) and from behind the pile, I hear her voice pipe up in a Val Kilmer-as-Doc Holliday drawl: "You! Sandwich Lover!"
The apparent non-sequitur slapped me upside the ganglia, leaving me stunned until she explained. Seems we got an advert addressed to "Sandwich lover at".... . Once I was up to speed (considering our mutual admiration for TOMBSTONE), I went from stunned to highly amused and wouldn't leave her alone about her comedic leap in logic.
Now I am left with this:
A deep desire to see a commercial (most likely from Quiznos, considering their "We've got the subs. We are not the huns." campaign) for a buy one, get one free (aka bogo) promotion featuring a drunken Val Kilmer walking in on Matt LeBlanc and yelling "You! Sandwich lover! I've got two sandwiches, one for each of you".
sigh.......
I (re)told that story to tell you this one:
Saturday we were preparing for our invasion of OKC and I wasn't in very good shape: slight incoherence and general aches & pains. Even my obligatory ingestion of caffeine didn't help. Finally, about half an hour after a doubling my intake (probably up to 4 cups by that time), the pain and fog lifted.
Oddly enough (actually not that odd to any who know me), I only noticed because an ad came to mind whole and fully-formed, while I was swiping my pits with deodorant and looked up to see Mrs Sivana's deodorant on the shelf. The ad follows:
"Hello, I'm Ian McKellan. I may be an old queen, but like anyone else, I can appreciate a clean smelling pair of pits on a woman."
Ian holds up a bottle of Secret brand deodorant and says "Remember: Keep it Secret. Keep it safe."
