It was funny in the show when I noticed one of the characters was drinking an Ensure. I thought to myself, "self, there is another clever product placement" but, a few minutes after that I guessed it was not a good product placement when the person drinking the Ensure said, "that tastes like snot!" I guess somebody is not a fan of Ensure.
I mentioned some people (actors) in the movie that I like but I found another while watching the show. Harry Dunning is in the movie and I have liked him in several things I have seen him in:The Patriot and Deadwood to name a few. Deadwood is probably my favorite show of all time though Band of Brothers may be tied with that.
Yesterday our new housemates got all settled-in and we went over and put some of their stuff in a storage unit. Then, last night, we took them to dinner where we met-up with MADYM and her new beau Scott. We went to Schmidt's in Elburn; that is a pretty nice place but man, was it loud and hard to talk. What did I expect it would be like on a Saturday night in a bar? Guess what I had? A salad and iced tea. Man, am I boring. They had giardiniera for the salad too. Oh yeah, that is what I was gonna write about with 11.22.63 and giardiniera. There was a scene in a restaurant storage area and they had jars and jars of giardiniera on the shelves. Try to say "jars and jars or giardiniera" 23 times fast.
There was a really funny campaign billboard in the movie (see, I am so sick I cannot even remember things in blogological order). As you probably know if you read the blog that, though I am a candidate-by-candidate voter. I tend to lean Democratic (liberal) because I care about the welfare of others as well as the welfare of my family. Of course, I had to research to see if this was a jab at The Republican Party or it was really an actual sign that the Nixon campaign used for the 1960 Presidential campaign. As far as I can see, this was a real slogan / billboard / campaign button... I suppose being a Dick didn't have the same meaning that it has today. Was Nixon (maybe because of The Watergate break-in) the reason being a Dick became negative? My mom's dad was "Grandpa Dick" and I think if it was a negative thing he would have gone by Richard or Rich or Rick. Was it also because of Nixon's enlarged proboscis? Anyway, my 15-year-old equivalent sense of humor loved the sign.
Okay, I have to stop because my proboscis is filling up and I have to have Tito get me a tissue. Thanks for stopping by and watch 11.22.63 if you have HULU. Thank you so very much to stopping by today; the thought of you reading this makes me smile and then blow my nose and suck on another lozenge (that is a funny word - lozenge). Have a great night and, if I see you, I will not breath on you until I am germ-free. I guess we are never germ-free so I mean until I am sick kind of germ-free. TTTT...MITM (out) TA!
