As we get started today, I have something to show you which will change your life forever.
Bacon Salt
Their slogan? "We're on a quest to make everything taste like bacon". Swear to God. They even have a "recipes" section on their website. Without giving away any trade secrets, here's my official recipe for Bacon Salt:

So, anyhow. Where was I? Oh, right. If you live in the Denver area, there's also a great new Mexican restaurant open downtown on the 16th Street Mall. You see, when I was in grad school, there was this place on Baseline and Broadway called "Taco Bell". It was open late, and all of the kids loved it. I was told that it was authentic Mexican fare.
Apparently it's doing quite well, because they've now opened a second location in downtown Denver! So rejoice, ye all, because you no longer have to make the trek to Boulder for your fix of great Mexican cuisine. And remember to support your local businesses such as this one, lest they get swallowed up by corporate America.
Saw a great commercial for an Oreck vacuum cleaner the other day, but it really takes something special to capture my attention (as you well know). So it pleased me greatly when they offered their "try it before you buy it" offer with the following statement:
"You wouldn't pay for a meal at a restaurant before you ate it, would you?"
Well, actually, I do that just about every day at lunch, and oftentimes at dinner. Maybe when you get filthy rich from selling vacuum cleaners all day, you can afford to eat at those fancy sit-down joints, but try to remember the common man next time.
I keep being reminded that there's someone who just joined MySpace and has a secret crush on me. So if that's you, please step forward and announce yourself!
Here's a cartoon that has nothing to do with commercials, but it amuses me. I hope that it amuses you.
It'd still be pretty funny without the dinosaurs, but they take it to another level in my opinion.
Hey, if you're reading, why aren't you commenting? I'm needy!
