RANDOM THOUGHTS:
Before I begin, I would like to impose a question, one that hopefully you can answer for me. It's not anything serious, but it does concern proper etiquette. When riding a bus of any kind, whether a public transportation bus, a school bus, etc. should the person riding a bus say thank you to the bus driver as they are about to leave the vehicle? This question has been strangely bugging me over the last few months that I have been taking CTA buses in the afternoon and, occasionally, in the morning. On one hand, its the polite thing to do for someone who spends hours a day doing a job that I'm sure that they don't like nor was their dream occupation growing up. On the other hand, why should you say thank you to someone who's just doing their job and possibly doesn't care a rats ass about you other than the fact that they have to keep you safe during the ride. So far, I've asked many of my friends and family during random conversations and it seems to be split about 52/48 with the "thank you" team being that 52 percent. Besides, I haven't read any comments or tips with anyone of you in the few months that I've been running this website, and I think that it's about damn time that you did.
Alright, now that we have that little enquiry out of the way, here are the usual half baked thoughts for which I have no purpose at all posting. The following were on my mind between Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Thursday, January 20th:
- I wonder how someone becomes a spokesperson for train/ rail track awareness.
- The Hughes Net commercials need to be much better than they are right now. I feel like they're appealing to an audience from, say, 2003 when high speed DSL was starting to become a new fad instead of what is now with DSL as the popular choice of most people with computer(s).
- Thanks to this lead-up to the Bears-Packers game on Sunday, I now know how the Steelers and Ravens fans feel like.
- The people who design the commercials for Olive Garden should create a new book title " 'It's Like We're At the Kids Table All Over Again!': The Art of Making Corny Commercials from the Masters."
-It's here! "Parks and Recreations" season three is finally here! And Leslie Knope! And Ron F****** Swanson! And DJ Roomba! Everything is right in the world. Speaking of P&R...
-During the lead-up to tonight's season premiere, co-creator Michael Shur (a.k.a. Ken Tremendous) should have at least done a Fire Joe Morgan style review of an "Outsourced" script. After "Outsourced" took the show off the air for an additional four months and P&R finally getting back by replacing it at the 8:30 p.m. timeslot after "The Office," I think that it would have been most fitting
And that's going to do it. Now, if you will excuse me, I've got some stellar NBC comedies to watch.
