Bad Credit Report?

Does anybody have these friggin' commercials stuck in their head like I do after I hear them? Maybe for an hour or two, I'm going around singing these damn songs! I just heard this pirate at the restaurant commercial today at lunch time. The car one I was singing yesterday! Maybe I have to stop watching Comedy Central where they're playing them all the time!

FreeCreditReport.com Commercial Lyrics

Well they say a man should always dress for the job he wants
So why am i dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant
Its all because some hacker stole my identity
Now I'm in every evening serving chowder and ice tea

Shoulda gone to free credit report dot com
I coulda seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb
They monitor your credit and send you e-mail alerts
So you don't end up selling fish to tourists in t-shirts

This one below is from their car commercial!

While I was shoppin' for a new car, which one's me?

A cool Convertible or an SUV?

Too bad I didn't know my credit was whack,

Cuz' now I'm drivin' off a lot in a used Subcompact.

F-R-E-E that spells free,

Credit report dot com bay-be(baby).

Saw their ads on my T.V.

Thought about going, but was too lazy.

Now instead of lookin' fly n rollin' phat,

My legs are sticking to the vinyl and my posse's gettin' laughed at.

F-R-E-E that spells free,

Credit report dot com bay-be(baby).

Are gas prices pissing you off yet? They are me! I'm ready to start mopeding around town! If I didn't live so dam far away from everything I'd be using public transportation. This is probably one of the things I miss most about europe. Transportation there was light years ahead of our time.

What do you guys think that have experienced europe and the United States? The big cities have decent transportation, but when you get out where I live there's nothing. When I was in europe I could go anywhere I wanted and never needed a vehicle.

Hope to hear from some of you people out there.

Sunset at the Ballpark

The last Hall of Fame game was played at Cooperstown, NY over this past weekend. The only problem was it was rained out. The baseball union and all their greed decided to end the tradition of baseball players actually coming to Cooperstown, NY to play one game a year. They decided after this last game, it all would end. Then it was rained out and the players got back on the bus and left without signing any more autographs for the young fans and old alike.

I can at least say I seen the game played last year, but what about all the young kids who didn't? The players (and I'm not just talking about baseball, but all of the players including NASCAR) have decided to keep away from the fans. The fans are actually bothering them. You know, the ones in the first place who actually made them famous! I think this is bullshit!

I'm boycotting baseball and NASCAR as of today. The two sports which have pissed me off and are going after our money by itself without actually having to interact with the fans. Screw them! They can kiss my ass! If any other sports piss me off, I'll boycott them too.

I would like to ask you guys (and gals) to actually take a second and see what our sports have become. Drugs, steroids, piss testing, cheating to win, spying on the other teams, and more crap than I can think of. Think about it and stop watching these idiots. Maybe then they'll realize what the hell they're doing, what they've become and maybe change their ways if they lose enough money.

What parenting tip do you swear by?

 

Love them like you're gonna lose them tomorrow

Discipline them like they're gonna live to be a hundred!
