Brain-Freeze Quick Hits


     (1)    Is that song that's going on in the background of some recent promos -- kind an industrial drone with an ascending three-note figure, repeated without change, with a distant, distorted voice saying "sports" -- an actual song?  Or just a promo bed someone put together?  It's hypnotic.

     (2)    My brain also made tiny by this utterance on the latest Meador commercial issued by Charlie Gray:  "We're continuing our 50-year tradition of offering the lowest prices in our history."

     Which I guess would mean continuously declining prices for 50 years.



     (3)    Gordon doing a hit-and-run reference to Duke Ellington this morning when imitating a Frenchman who has been sent out to grade the various Tour de France -- grades -- by category, who returns and reports that they are "beyond category," one of Ellington's favorite phrases.  (Says it several times.)

     (4)    Gordon/George bickering reaching punch-out proportions.   Bog; negative humor value; converts attractive persons into unattractive persons.


     (5)   Big Black Cowboys Computer -- fun bit, some yucks, but reduce airtime by about 47%.
