I am not gellin’ and … I … er … ummmmm. Well actually I always pick up a book and read during commercials, so I can’t think of anything amusing to say. I’m such a failure. ---

I wonder if the [L’il Penny](http://images.amazon.com/images/G/covers/0/60/960/236/0609602365.l.gif) ripoff in the [Sprite commercials](http://www.sprite.com/) is gellin’? Can’t wait until someone accidentally leaves him on the dashboard of their H2 in the dead of summer. ---

Gellin? Nope, not me. No way. Even if it weren’t for those heinously bad commercials, I suspect the insoles would be as disconcerting as gel wrist rests for keyboards. I don’t know about anyone else, but I find it more than a little unsettling to try to work with my wrists pressed against something that feels for all the world like a breast implant. :o And now they want me to walk on them? Nope, nope, nope. ---

I was making a rap up along the lines of what **Hal** just did, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as good. You should fit _propellin’_ in there somewhere ---

That commercial, above all others, makes me want to hurl something large and heavy through the TV in fury. Or, you know, just frantically grab for the remote in time to hit the channel change button before the first _I’m gellin!_ happens and imprints itself upon my brain. As a side note, I have always suspected that I might just be that one who doesn’t like Saralee. ---

The commercial that currently sits atop my shit list is the _Focus and a Dell_ ad. I don’t care how “phat” the printer is, nor how “flat” the monitor - I will not buy either anytime soon. Plus, I can’t stand the fucking jingle. ---

I find standard insoles cease doing their job real quick, and I’m hoping maybe the gel kind will last longer. [/hijack] They’re gels. They seem to be doing some good, but I haven’t had them long enough to tell whether they’ll stand up to prolonged use. Also, regarding Cheez Whiz, I know I don’t wan’ it.
