A Side Of Mashed
I'm supposed to be working on show prep for tonights edition of The Cigar Jones Radio Hour. Unfortunately, I became distracted and hopped on to youtube.com. I found a couple cool mash-ups for your viewing (and listening pleasure). First up is Green Day vs. Oasis. Also, this one featuring Britney vs. Linkin Park. Finally, a really strange one that works surprisingly well...Christina Milian vs. Jimi Hendrix.
What would we do without the Internet?
Probably cure cancer.

You Can't Handle The Truth!
Looks like Pauly's up to his old tricks again. First, Slick Rick donates his folding poker table to the store.
Less than a week later...Paul claims the "leg just broke". Yep, after nearly twenty years of constant use and being hauled to every poker party Rick ever attended...the leg just gave out...and it wasn't even being used at the time! Must have been the gale-force winds created by the ceiling fan that did it.
Next up...table lighters #1 AND #2. Again, no better story than "they just broke". Are you sensing a pattern here?
Well, we finally replaced the broken down poker table with a nice wooden foldup version...complete with matching wooden folding chairs. Chepokas arrived as we were setting it up and the chairs passed the "Biscuits Test". We were in business...and feeling mighty good about ourselves.
Then came yesterday.
Mike got a call from Paul. Guess what? Bad news on the folding chair front. Paul sat down and "it just broke". Yep, the chairs that withstood the two live hogs living in Steves pants...crumbled beneath the massive girth of Pauly. In his defense, another customer has come forward to claim responsibility.
Sorry for doubting you, Buddy.

Hold The Cheese
OK...so it's been a while. The whole "Cigar Jones Facebook" thing has stolen the time I would have normally devoted to the blog. It probably cost me a shot at the BBDO Creative Director gig that Wes all but promised me (not that he remembers). Anyway, trolling Facebook and feeling slightly uneasy about today's youth has been interesting to say the least. Lots of pictures of underage kids drinking. Hopefully, when I'm old and infirm and they're changing my bed pan...they'll remember I'm the guy that didn't "rat them out". Maybe it will keep them from spitting in my creamed corn (again).
In store news, we installed the long-awaited Disco Ball. Chuck was thrilled. Almost as thrilled as the day Cheese figured out how to hook a microphone into the sound system here. It became irritating within moments.
Princess K is still The Doghouse Points Leader. I can't wait until she makes an appointment with The Redemption Director.
