The liquor sales person that sits there and offers the samplesas they do, whisky, no thanks. It’s Wisers (which ain’t good). Curtis Glencross is here signing bottles $32.99 for a signed bottle she says.

Of course, I’ll buy two. Because I eyed him and no one in there and he’s just sitting there. Go chat with him and say I loved him with my flames hat on. I don’t want these bottles of whisky. I bought them because part a. I am an idiot flames fans and part b. Pathetic he’s sitting in Westhills signing liquor bottles.

Heavy on the part b.

Cool meeting him though

Pathetic?

Belgium beer? Delirium is what you want, and Wine and Beyond stocks it.

Belgian Beer? Leffe Blond. Willow Park is where you'll find it!

Are guys like Jon Hamm having that much trouble getting roles or something or are Betting App ads and SkiptheDishes ads just that lucrative?

I think I read that these days he likes the smaller roles that don't take a ton of time, so he can spend more time going to hockey and baseball games. But he does have some new show he's the lead on so who knows

They can make big bucks for very little work. I'd do it even if I was making bank working regularly.

When people think of celebrities in commercials, they often picture stars like Tom Brady, Matt Damon, or Jason Momoa. These famous faces can earn a lot of money in a short time. But just how much do they really make?

For many well-known celebrities, appearing in a regular commercial can bring in a paycheck between $500,000 to $2 million (1). That’s a huge amount of money for just a few hours of work! The fame of the celebrity really matters. For example, Diane Amos, known as the Pine-Sol lady, has built a strong brand around her image in commercials. Because of this, she can command higher fees.

Events like the Super Bowl change the game completely. Companies spend big bucks for ads during this event. Celebrities can earn anywhere from $1 million to an astonishing $15 million for just one Super Bowl ad. Imagine working only a few days for all that money!

I think ponchos should make a comeback. Cruising around everywhere with a wearable blanket sounds awesome. I might just do it.

Too late. Waaay too late.

While I always appreciate new and innovative ways to say "Yeah, that Sliver is one wacky guy!!" and then shake my head slowly with a half-grin/half-grimace, this seems like you mailed in this effort. Your signature is witty irreverence with a touch of canine-ophobia —and dare I say, a touch of Jack Tripper. However, this effort falls short of your oft-repeated, occasionally appreciated work.

Post: 3/10

Would read again, but I am hoping for a better effort next time.

It's interesting that they use the Pine-Sol lady as an example of someone that has established a brand for themselves and can command a high fee. Did anyone know that there is a Pine-Sol lady? I had no idea there were someone that consistently represented that company.

Poncho is far superior to a snuggie. A snuggie only works if you are laying on a couch.

A poncho allows you to be mobile (as well as ride a horse) and still work. Plus, you can always tuck your arms in next to your body to keep em warm. The snuggie necessarily isolates your arms from the torso.

Couple it with a massive cowboy hat or even a sombrero, and you got a look going on.

Seems like a poncho would be better for carrying groceries than a snuggie too.

An able bodied man masterbating on a rascal while smoking a fake dart might look weird… but put on a poncho, nothing to see here.

Kinda seems like “trans” is on the way out. There was a peak there a couple years back, but you don’t see near as many kids identifying as “trans” today.

Goth was much less invasive, and life-limiting.

It's wild when you can watch in real time normal reasonable people fall into the right wing hate bin, and know that they can't even realize it themselves. Were they always like this, and hid it better? Or did covid really make them stupider, and they think stuff like this is funny, edgy, or true because of a damaged brain? Do we need to setup some sort of clinics to help these people? Sad stuff. Fonz, I hope you can find a way to heal from whatever it is that broke you.
