**Count** , I just reviewed this thread and saw your post count. Apologies if I seemed overly rude, and welcome to the SDMB. I was just being a wanker for shits and giggles. However, I still don’t get the Rula Lenska joke. ---

I’m watching him hock a product called Kaboom. It’s a tile cleaner. As always, I am utterly absorbed by this bizarre man. ---

To new girlfriend: “Hi, Billy Mays here, and I’m going to boink you like you’ve never been boinked before!” (double thumbs up) “Aaaiiee! Why’d you mace me?” “Don’t shout at me in bed, prick.” ---

I tracked boat motor oil across a white carpet and Oxyclean got it pretty clean. Marc ---

Why? **Because** \*\*Oxyclean is the \*\* STAIN SPECIALIST !!! :rolleyes: Actually the oxyclean stuff is carried in all of the super markets now. Guess my chance at the 4 pound tub at a very special price are over . . . ☹ ---

I get really excited about those commercials. I am amazed that all those people in TVland are so damn messy! They get chocolate, wine, grass, blood, mud, and oil stains all over everything. Bunch of slobs I tell ya! Hmmmmm… **MGibson** do you live in TVland? Boat motor oil on white carpet? 😃 Anyway, I do get all excited about those commercials. He offers free stuff when you order. Free stuff I think, wow! Then he stops short of a set of ginsu knives or one of those things that look like a fish scaler but are supposed to carve fancy designs in watermelons to make em look like baskets, so I don’t order because those are the kind of free stuff I want.
