Heels20X6 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Never have I come to hate a song and a truck so fast. 821041[/snapback] You have to admit though, that commercial with the office monkeys rocking out to Quiet Riot is the BEST. COMMERCIAL. EVER. I think it was for CareerBuilder.com I mean it has it all. Monkeys, in people clothes, "Cum on Feel the Noise". What more can you ask?

The newest one, which I have only seen once, has the guy in the restroom when the boss monkey comes in. The boss monkey gives the employee his perfomance review at the urinal, talks about a raise, and they guy goes, "but that's less than I make now sir" as the boss is walking out. Hilarious!

smokinandjokin Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Never have I come to hate a song and a truck so fast. 821041[/snapback] There were several times during the World Series where that commercial aired twice in the same break. Between the Tigers playing like schit, Tim McCarver, and "From the East coast, to the West coast, to the Dixie Highway...." I really contemplated suicide on numerous occasions.

SilverNRed Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 ESPN officially sucks in my book, the radio, the channel, everything. 820842[/snapback] I think ESPN's baseball coverage is pretty good overall. I just wish there was more of it. The NFL does NOT need round the clock coverage (the NFL's hype machine is one of the main reasons I like the league a whole lot less now than I did a few years ago).

Just Jack Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I actually like it as well -- yeah, you can tell by reading "3rd and 4" but seeing the first down line and/or the arrow on the screen is pretty cool. Plus, the technology that makes it happen is VERY cool http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/question225.htm 821025[/snapback] cough.. nerd.. cough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites Bay Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Any old farts here? I remember the great Ray Scott doing games in the 60s: "Starr...Dowler...touchdown." That was it...a touchdown pass that would have the present-day terds doing cartwheels, was often as simply stated as that. Of course, we only had a B/W Zenith at the time also.... 821013[/snapback] Oh, God, I've read this entire thread and have chosen this entry to which to respond. I'll reluctantly wear the "Old Fart" moniker - but, no, I didn't watch Starr. Only on the sidelines in the 70s during a horrible stretch. Thank God for community ownership, because it's the only way they kept the team in that town during those years. What are WE going to do? Weighing in on this thread, one can really begin to see the dichotomy between us "Old Farts" and the....well, "non-Old Farts". Here's my thought, you young fellers. We're the lucky ones, you're the saps. Why? Because we at least REMEMBER the black-and-white Zenith (yes, we had one of those as well), and we REMEMBER life before Michael Irvin's "commentary", and we REMEMBER Monday Night games that actually started at 9:06 P.M. without the GARBAGE GARBAGE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All you poor little barstards are going to ever watch is the mahnuah that's fed to you, and the worst part is that you think it's "slick". Where's the "barf" icon for me to click here? It doesn't HAVE to be so processed, so slick, so cheese-food! I'm a reasoning, articulate human being who has (against all odds) learned to walk upright. So what? Here's what, pinheads at ESPN - I can tell you when a screen is being set up. I can tell by watching when the QB is nervous and is going to (attempt to) dump to the fullback. I can tell when the safety's grabbed the facemask. I don't need to have it explained to me with graphics, commentary, sideline updates (nice boobs, though) and screen bugs. And THAT'S why I feel bad for you "non-Old Farts". At least I got to watch a simpler game. I'm going to quote this from memory: I am gross and perverted I'm obsessed and deranged I have existed for years But very little has changed I'm vile and pernicious but you can't look away I make you think I'm delicious With the stuff that I say I'm the tool of the government and industry too For I am destined to rule, and regulate you I'm the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime oozing out from your TV set Okay, sports fans, let's see who remembers that one. And how true the great man was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a classic song by Frank Zappa from one of his greatest albums "Overnight Sensation". The song is called "I am the Slime". You should check it out.
