I'm ranting at you, July! (July mini-rants)

Well, it’s Monday and I’m exhausted, looking forward to the upcoming weekend. My gf and Kizzy competed in an agility trial on Sunday. That meant getting yard work completed Saturday, then waking up Sunday at 4 am to get ready.

The event was sponsored by the Altoona, PA agility club. So, there were dogs from the Altoona area coming to “our” facility.

I’m just pit crew, but boy was I busy. Kizzy can no longer compete as a Novice, so her competition is pretty good. As a novice she had a streak of first place ribbons. Yesterday there was an Altoona GSD that was wicked fast, but not as clean as Kizzy. The dog had amazing times, but a few faults each run. Kizzy was slower but had all clean runs.

We took home three second place ribbons and two firsts. The cute thing was that Kizzy and the other dog got along really well. They’d have a great time zooming around in a field.

Sometimes I’ll watch TV as I cook and I’ve grown to hate the millionth re-run commercials.

Today, I saw this online and it made me giggle in the worst way.

I’m really dense – what am I looking at? Why is it funny?

Yep, don’t get it. But then again I never watch commercials, so maybe that’s the disconnect.

It’s the “I’ve fallen, but I can’t get up” 2024 version.

There are only so many decades that a person can tolerate that meme.

I started a new thread for gripes to celebrate the new month.

Oh, okay. I haven’t seen one of those ads for, like, forever. Probably because I don’t watch live daytime tv. I think they mostly get shown on soap operas and game shows.

Nope. All over the spectrum. That and the Funeral Ins guy:

“There are the 4 Ps of insurance.”
"What are they?’
“Price, Price, Price, and the long yellow stream of Pee I take on your Grave, Granma…”

That and the guy who promises to keep the IRS from calling you.
“We’ll stop those calls and layer your debt so thick you’ll think your were burried next to 4-Ps Granma…”

That and the commercial where Tom Selleck wants to scam you into a reverse mortgage.

"Use your Equity now while you’ve got it. Now don’t forget your old cowboy pal, Tom Selleck, and that use that old ‘Good Luck’ trail phrase we use down Mexico way:

“Tu casa es Mi casa, Pendejo…”

“The lock we’re talking about isn’t the lock on your door.”
[immediately show a dozen quick clips of doors being locked]

I have no idea why that bothers me so much.

Lauren Boebert was on a “date” for the same showing you attended of *Monsters, Inc."?

Oh lordy I hope not! :sweat_smile:

I’m pretty sure that particular funeral insurance commercial is so old that there was an Alex Trebek version. (He did do some ads for them, right?)

Yes, I remember Alex doing them.

“What is, ‘spinning in his grave’. Things to do in Forrest Lawn for $400…”

I found it!

Looks like he did a version of the Three Ps, too.
