Hakone Gardens

Published by under Uncategorized

Adam and I had a picnic lunch at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga today. The place is incredibly beautiful, and all of the flowers have yet to blossom.

I started a separate photoblog to share my photos. So click on the link to the right (photoblog) and you will see the complete set of photos. I will try to mention here when those are updated — but I’d advise you to just check it out now and again.

Subservient Chicken..

Published by under Uncategorized

Before leaving for the day, I wanted to share a website with you.

If you haven’t seen the new commercials for Burger King, you are missing something. First off, the commercials involve a man(?) in a chicken suit, that will do whatever you want it to do. For example, one commercial shows the Chicken walking into the room, dressed in garters and one of those see-through teddy shawl.. things.. whatever. Anyway, a man on the couch says “Music..” and the Chicken turns on some music.. but the man says “Not that kind”.. the Chicken leaves, and comes back with an accordian.

The second commercial has two women, going about their day. The one on the couch throws her pencil down on the ground and says, playfully, “oops” .. Chicken shows up (in garters) and bends over to pick (peck) up the pencil, but the women kicks it father. The Chicken is then forced to do the ole-bend-over trick and the women admire the butt of the Chicken.

Yes weird. Funny weird.

Burger King’s tagline – “Chicken. Just the way you like it.” haha.

ANYWAY.

At the end of each commerical is a website.

subservientchicken.com

This site is so much fun! Tell the Chicken do to whatever you want. Tell it to ‘walk like an egyptian’, tell it to ‘watch tv’, to sing, to dance.. try anything.

Silly fun brought to you by Burger King and the Crispin Porter + Bogusky advertising agency. The same agency that brought you the Ikea “Lamp” commercial (“Many of you feel bad for this lamp, that is because you’re crazy. It has no feelings… and the new one is much better.”)

– update — Have the chicken ‘moonwalk’ and ‘breakdance’ tee hee!

Is it just me or is Carson Kressley everywhere?

I mean seriously.. first his face is telling me to apply for a “Yahoo $20k Career Makeover” and then he’s telling me how good Goldfish Crackers are. Goldfish Crackers.. Come on man… crackers?

Btw, if you go to the Goldfish site, I see no sign of Carson but there is a lovely CGI Garfield (movie promos already) there. Also play the Goldfish blaster game. It’s a fun time waster.
