Some mornings I drive down US 401 to work, and recently there have been a lot of "mascots" so to speak for various places out by the road, obviously trying to draw more business. It can be entertaining when sitting at a stoplight or just driving by. You have those guys that flip those signs up in the air and catch them and then act like a lunatic (which the whole tactic is working at that point because they're drawing attention to themselves, therefore marketing for said business). Then you have the people dressed up like the statue of liberty, trying to get people to try out their firms for getting their taxes done this season. My favorite so far has been the person dressed up as a mouse (who is dressed like a chef) outside of Bruegger's Bagels holding up a sign for various specials on coffee or bagels or whatever. Cute, right?
This morning I was driving and I saw a new one. The "costume" looked peculiar and I couldn't figure out what in the world they were trying to promote, but they were holding a sign, and they were much less energetic than all the other people so I was curious to see what they were promoting..
His sign read "Will work 4 food." ...Oh.

Hey, Soul Sister!
I absolutely LOVE this song by Train. It puts me in the best mood and I always put it on blast when I'm driving and it comes on. It's another song that XM Radio loves to play. But.. I will warn you - some of the lyrics are kinda.. unique. And when I say "unique", I mean "weird". But the song is still fun so I sing along anyway.
Some weird lyrics:
"Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction, a game show love connection we can't deny
I'm so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest...""
Ok, it was cute until you brought up the man-fur.
My favorite lyric:
"The way you can't cut a rug, watching you's the only drug I need
You're so gangsta, I'm so thug, you're the only one I'm dreaming of..."
Word! It just makes me smile! Ok, so maybe you have to hear it to really get it. Maybe.
Enjoy!
