When the scion of the DT McCall empire, A.J., ran for State House last year, he (coincidentally?) started appearing in the commercials.

I think his electoral loss can be pinned to the fact that his "HEEEEYYYY" lacked the verve of his daddy's.

Show you age and sing along:

"What makes a house kinda special?
Close friends comin' through the door.
Flowers bloomin' in the springtime.
Little children playin' on a Buddy Allen floor."

I'm going to break a lot of hearts now, but I'm pretty sure Watson's has its HQ in Indiana, thus making it a midwestern/New South chain of pool and hot tub excellence. Technically not local.

And ya'll. "Emma's: The Superlative Florist" is the winner of everything, ever.

I grit my teeth every time I hear the sign company ripoff of Harold Shyer's, "If Harold says its so...it's so."

What's with the "struggling" adjective for Holiday World?? It's doing quite well. Why poke fun at the only theme park I've ever been to that actually has staff that WANTS you to be there? Or doesn't gouge you with food prices.

Maybe Pith needs to visit. Or maybe that's just not cool for Pith. Pith's loss.

"Mid-South Business Furniture. Mid...South...Business Furniture. Mid-South Business Furniture."
(x 100)

Still, it echoes in my brain.

Holiday World is the anthithesis of a struggling theme park! Its the most incredibly successful, well run, ever expanding, super clean theme park on the planet! The fact that a regional family owned and operated park advertises in Nashville is a sign of their reach and success, not struggle!

Watson's is now called Family Leisure. Indeed, it is not really a local company. So, the Watson's/Family Leisure babe is not a resident and neither are Jolene and that other blonde who do those car commercials.

Indeed again, Emma's Florist probably wins this contest hands down, purely on the way the guy pronounced the word "superlative". Proving that sometimes pronouncing a word in an odd way is all you need (besides love, of course). Though a close second might be that fast-talking fat car dealer (his name escapes me at the moment) who used to demand, "Call me NOW!" Proving that sometimes... well, never mind. Doesn't really prove anything. However, the Watson's girl proves that a perky smile and big hooters can get a girl far.

As for that Carnival Kia weasel, I wouldn't buy a corn dog from him, never mind a car.

That Kia guy scares the crap outta me. That whole family gives off the same creepy vibe that the Duggar family does. Same khaki pants, same forced enthusiasm.

I am a retired firefighter. Lately I am feeling degregationproblems with my memory and I am concerned about it. I was evaluating memory practice, or omega3 fish oil capsuls. What is the best option?
