Sorry for that, if you had a seizure. Ifyou still want to see it, it's here.

Via.

In case you haven't already

Be sure to see Little Miss Sunshine. Sweet Mother Mary, I laughed so hard I nearly ruptured my spleen.

Never Fails

I knew I was calling down the gods of braggert smiting when I wrote about my increased ThunderJournal traffic last week. Remember kinds, should you brag and strut, be prepared to be thusly smoted. My traffic is now wayyyyyyy down from what it was just last week. Granted, I'm still getting around 1,600 visits a day, but that's down from nearly 3,000 a day not that long ago. DON'T BRAG AND STRUT!

Brag and Strut would be a great cartoon duo, except they'd be so in your face, you could only watch them for two minutes.

Now, in a bid to boost my site traffic, I'm going to repeat the name Hanna Montana a few times. Hanna Montana. Hanna Montana. Hanna Montana. Hanna Montana. Hanna Montana. Hanna Montana. Oh, and Amanda Overmeyer. Amanda Overmeyer. Amanda Overmeyer. Evanna Lynch. Evanna Lynch. Evanna Lynch.

I'll Be Damned

The Star-Tribune actually printed something I agree with.

Call it what it is: The Munchies Meal

Over the weekend, I stopped in at a Taco Bell for a quick lunch, and I noticed their FourthMeal advertising campaign. As if we pudgified Americans NEEDED another meal, the FourthMeal is touted as "The Meal Between Dinner and Breakfast," and Taco Bell has extended its hours into the wee morning hours.

Now, I've been out of college now for eight years, but I still remember many of my bar-hopping extra-curricular activities, and any stop in at a fast food joint after midnight was all about satiating the munchies, and had nothing to do with plugging a Fourth Meal into the day.

Does anybody else just cringe simply by SAYING FourthMeal? Don't you think Taco Bell should just admit that they're catering to the drunk/stoned after bar hour crowd? Would you be more inclined to pop in for a Munchies Meal, or maybe a Sober-Up Sojourn?

Instead of "The Meal Between Dinner and Breakfast," I'd be far more direct. My marketing slogans would be somewhere along the lines of: "Drunk? Have a Taco!" or "Try Our Stoner's Special!"

ForthMeal, man, how stupid is that?
