Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Even though I am from New England I have never seen a whale. Yeah I know I'm Pathetic. That is pathetic. I saw three off George's Island! I'm the worst, I live in a PORTSIDE TOWN!!!!! 6/17/07 This actually has more to do with yesterday! GRRRR!!! It took 2 hours to drive 72 miles. I HATE LA!!! Seriously, I think I would be a lot more social and do a lot more stuff if traffic didn't suck so much. I mean it was Saturday at 7pm, there should have been no traffic at all! Oh well, it was still pretty worth it to celebrate Chris' 21st birthday! More reason to buy one of those helicopter-car thingies....

cfc Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 ^Yes, according to sci-fi from the 1930s, we should all be traveling via biplane, autogyro, or jet pack by now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masked_Maverick Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I thought the traffic going through Chiacago was bad. LA sounds 10 times worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinab Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Traffic. Grrrr. Jacksonville is pretty bad. I live at the beach, but work on the west side of town, 20+ miles. It takes me 45 minutes to get to work. Thankfully, I work the night shift, so I'm going against rush hour traffic, both ways. Otherwise, it would take me at least twice as long. We're considering moving to Orlando in the next year or two, which would be infinitely worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFreak Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Elissa, just be glad it's not San Bernardino, where it takes just as long to go the same distance, but it's San Bernardino... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Ah L.A. traffic, how I hate thee seriously, that is certianly one of the major factors to why I left Cali, I cannot stand traffic, ABQ has little to no traffic, you get a bit in the morning, but unless some moron has crashed and died on the highway, its always moving., way WAY diffrent than Cali Here's a pic from 7PM while driving on a weekday to a minature golf course, from this photo TR from a few years ago http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18059&highlight=hinkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 People around here talk about rush hour traffic being bad. What I want to know is, about 50% of the people in cleveland don't work, so where is this traffic going to or coming from during rush hour?

krouvi Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I know someone who drives every day to work 2 hours to each direction . Without the traffic it could take him 25 minutes.

SharkTums Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 6/19/07 Why is it in this day and age that they still have major TV channels basically go off the air in the middle of the night and show crappy infomercials! Not even good infomercials, terrible ones! When I'm up at 4am feeding KT the only channel that has real programming is Animal Planet! And I've seen the same episodes of 'how to make your bad dog good' over the past 4 months now several times! Even the news stations just repeat every 20 minutes. There's so much crap that's been on TV the last 50 years, how come they can't show some of that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Come on, the infomercial for the Magic Bullet is always good fun to watch. Look at how many stereotypes you can see in one sitting: http://www.infomercial-hell.com/magic-bullet/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I hear you Elissa. We've even got infomercials on Sunday mornings until about 10AM. Surely there has to be better programming out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Steel Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 ^^Haha, The Magic Bullet Infomercial is classic..... Why are thy called "Infomercials" they are only 'Informing" the first time you see them, and then its just for the first 5 min. untill they start repeating themselves. What ever happened to infomercials that were fun to watch, like the Ron Popeil (I think that's how its spelled....) ones..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 My favorite infomercials are Kevin Trudeau's where he peddles his books full of his quack conspiracy theories about how the government is covering up the cure for cancer and how you can lose weight by "resetting the hypothalamus gland". I admire Kevin's ability to take money from idiots, and to seem sincere while he spouts the highest volume of BS ever to grace the airwaves. He lies better than any politician.

odene497 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Usually early in the morning on Spike TV theres the "Miracle Spring Water" thing with Peter Popoff. It has to be the most hilarious thing on tv. He'll take old people in walkers, punch them in the face and the people will fall the the ground and be "saved". It's so funny!!!!

Disney Dood Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I hate Ronco infomercials with a burning passion. "We'll include this limited edition steak knife for FREE! But wait! There's more! We'll also throw in a thermometer FOR FREE! But wait, that's not all! We'll throw in this Sharper Image Ionic Breeze for FREE! But wait! There's more! We'll send you this set of forks for a hefty price of, no wait, for free! That's right, we'll include this twenty piece set of knives with a few added extras. And guess what! You would usually pay $60 for all of this in a normal store, when we'll give it to you for three easy payments of $20!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I work at a tv station and in the past, I have had to sit through 10 hours of infomercials, kids programming (crappy new cartoons), and other things. They suck. Especially when the same one repeats twice in arow. The new kids shows on CBS when I had that shift were the worst. Dora, Diego, some stupid dinosaur or something cartoon, little bill, and of course the worst one, Blues clues. MAybe that is because they bored the crap out of me.

cfc Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 It does make one yearn for the time when a station ended its broadcast day and just ran that test pattern with the Indian chief in the middle of it. KCRA (channel 3) in Sacramento used to run these really sappy short subjects to end their broadcast day: a bunch of jets flying around while some guy recited the poem "High Flight" ("For I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth . . .") and a series of random nature scenes while some really irritating tenor sang "The Bluebird of Happiness" ("So be-e-e-e-e like I-I-I-I-I-I/Hold your head up hi-i-i-i-i--gh/[something something]/Bluebir-r-r-r-rd of Happi-i-i-i-ness-s-s-s-s-s-s!"). Informercials are hardly an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
