Nope! Hot dogs for everyone! Filet of Fido. Rack of Champ. Welsh Rabid-bit. Cream of muttshroom soup.

Jack in the Box - “Marry Bacon” is weird and disturbing. Even on the Jack in the Box scale, it’s weird and disturbing.

Finally saw the Ferris commercial. Good commercial if you’re in the demographic who grew up on John Hughes movies.

Never act with dogs and children. Hey, they should put the e-Trade baby and WeeGo on the back of a Budweiser Clydesdale.

Good Og, could that women be any less dressed?!? Yeesh…
