Marketing, Bowling & Quitters
Ξ August 19th, 2008 | → 19 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
Gotta love marketing. How about THIS Guinness ad? Makes me thirsty!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today is the last bowling league. Doodle was pretty much our best player with an average of about 135 or so, but I was all over the board every week. My lowest score was a 69 and my highest was a 150. So much for consistency! Funny part was Doodle losing her shit that I beat her one game. By bowling like a little kid: legs spread wide, ball back between em. She had 137 and I had 150. Because it will never happen again, I wanted to record my success for posterity:
Remember all the bitchin I did about my damn Tuesday bowling league? Yeah, I got suckered into joining another one. Wednesday nights for the rest of my fucking life. Only good part about this league is you can have alternates so it appears that I don’t have to commit to every damn week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don’t forget that Britt and Karl have given up smoking for good. It ain’t easy, I have done it, so should you find yourself with a little time, give them some love.

I love bowling! I am so awesomely horrid at it.
We’ll totally have to go if I ever get enough money to make it to Pittsburgh.

You’re a glutton for punishment, aren’t you?

You love it and you know it! Bowling is fun. And decent exercise.

thankfully i own my shoes so i guess it is not as bad as it could be. i promise to go bowling if you really, really wanna.
britt –
i know! shoot me now!
worst part is it is a wednesday league which means i will miss the beginning of your show. booo!
adam -
seriously! although, in my defense, i don’t like the punishment, i just have a difficult time saying no to friends. i’d do anything for doodle or wang, even sign up again when i don’t wanna.
finn -
bowling is fun, being in a league is not. i hate the pressure to commit to every fucking wednesday from here til spring. don’t like that it feels like a chore. bowling with friends here and there is great fun, though.

Can I have $50?

The ad? It could be because it’s sort of on the verge of being a bit fuzzy, but was that the small of a woman’s back and, if so, am I the only one who sees lots on blond baby hairs all over her?
It could just be jealousy.
on August 19th, 2008 at 9:05 PM
liz, totally see the hairy back. she also fucks like a wet noodle. gotta be some kind of wasted whore.
*nope, no jealousy here either.

bowling nights are fun, but not that fun.
heather -
i love throwing darts. have my own. but again, committing to a night a week is too fucking much.
beth -
yeah, that is the other thing. i can’t get hammered coz i have to fucking work the next day! what kind of leagues do i manage to get sucked into?!??!! i mean, they do have tasty beer (magic hat #9) and all, but i refuse to drink more than three and drive home.
gwen -
sure. come pick it up. at the bowling alley.
liz –
i am cracking the hell up that you looked that close. although i did have to watch it twice coz i thought the last hand belonged to a midget.
but what the hell are you jealous of? you want three guys, you can easily get em!
heather -
wasted whore? snort! that was awesome!! hehe

heather -
three smiley faces! you drinking and commenting again?
on August 19th, 2008 at 11:08 PM
nope, not drinking.
drinking can = hangovers and i have to work in the am.
i choose a more natural mind altering/mood enhancing/chill zone expanding method.

That’s a really amusing ad. So naughty. Reminds me of the stuff I write! LOL
on August 20th, 2008 at 11:55 AM
*sigh* I’d really love a Guinness right now.
on August 20th, 2008 at 11:44 PM
