Down-to-earth, value-oriented, but still fun and just a tiny bit hip."<BR/><BR/>Oddly enough, that's also my teacher persona. Or is that John Edwards? I don't even know anymore.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, you wanna just be a tiny bit hip, but you don't wanna be 2 Hip. Or Tragically Hip.<BR/><BR/>Lastly-- "watchable" by whom? Other ad writers? People who are too busy trying to shave in the morning to properly angle their remote to "mute" the commerical while awaiting some Nor'easter snow storm to get a paid day off from their taxpayer-funded jobs edumacating our nation's youth? And is "watchable" the highest standard we should aspire to?

Giving TMBG too much credit, I merely assumed that some Generation Hexmaster-general 40-something loserfraud had appropriated the TMBG sound, not the actual band itself. Of course, being a New Englander I have 3 Dunkin Donuts restaurants in my apartment complex, and 1 in my "water closet". I order my heated fluid there in the language of Basque or Catalon (a very oblique reference to "The Ballad of the Sin Eater"-- Ted Leo, natch).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23031833.post-1168512235560513712007-01-11T04:43:00.000-06:002007-01-11T04:43:00.000-06:00yeah, yer a total chump... not only for not having...yeah, yer a total chump... not only for not having a tivo, but for watching professional sports without one.
