Due to a busy couple of weeks, I’ve been quite delinquent on my blogging responsibilities. However, I have made note of some things that have been on my mind lately and I’ve formed them around “20 questions”. Unfortunately, none of these are in any way linked to one another, and there is absolutely nothing to learn from them, but “oh well”:
Why is the Washington County Sheriffs Department being so tight-lipped about the drive-by shooting in Slinger Saturday night? Shouldn’t they be telling us everything about it in an attempt to figure out who did it?
Why would I want to buy a mattress designed by fashion mogul Vera Wang? What advantages of sleep could a fancy and frilly “designer” mattress possibly offer me?
Not being one to say, “I told you so”, I must point out that I predicted that the NASCAR Nextel Cup would be short lived. This year, they have now changed it to the NASCAR Sprint Cup. What will it be next year…the NASCAR US Cellular Cup? Dale Earnhardt must be rolling over in his grave as he grips his seven Winston Cups.
Why do companies like Coke and Pepsi continue with so much advertising and marketing? We all know they exist, and we all have our favorites. Seeing a Pepsi commercial in no way has ever made me run out and buy one.
In this day and age, could someone please invent a liquid cold medicine that doesn’t almost make me puke from the taste of it?
Why did I pay $120 to go see Van Halen, but will only need to spend $10 to see Styx and Boston at the Washington County Fair this year?
Why do we spend countless hours of our own time, including taking vacation days from work, to hold Rummage Sales?
Why will you only hear John Foggerty’s song “Rock and Roll Girl” on the radio when the temperature is over 70 degrees?
I see the movie “Speed Racer” starts up this weekend. Is there no cartoon or show from the past that will be spared Hollywood’s wrath of remakes? Can we assume “Kukla, Fran and Ollie – The Movie” is next?
Will anyone notice that although I titled this blog “20 Questions”, I have only asked 13 questions?
G’Night G’Town!
