…fascinates me. It’s a weird, bizarre type of fascination. Remember this? Cute, ew, no. Luckily (um kindof) I stumbled upon this site full of people-looking-ice cream. I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t eat these, too creepy.
You Bring Me Joy.

Did you guys know about this? Apparently in the 20s and 30s during the Depression, poor, young couples would push their bodies and minds to the limits to win some bucks at a Dance Marathon. Fifteen minute rest periods every hour allowed the marathons to continue for days, weeks, and even months. They shoot horses, don’t they? is based on this phenomenon. If you haven’t seen it, watch it. If you have seen it, holy crap!
Many states banned these dances due to the stresses and suicides the participants incurred. Social Studies taught me about soup kitchens and the Tennesse Valley Authority. Dance marathons depict the cruel brutality and class struggle during the Depression. It’s the Reality TV of today.

Posted by releedavis on February 21st, 2008All this time I had been operating under the assumption that some Cornellian had designed this snappy slogan. But, alas, it was a Professor from Ithaca College who brought this all encompassing play-on-words, to life. I always knew we were the more creative of the two. Just not the most business savvy, perhaps.
Valentines.

That’s right people! No one thought it could happen, but after 5 sacks of that obnoxious Tom Brady, the NY Giants Defense proved they are the best in the world! Which forced the NY Giants offense to really make it happen! Take that Bill Bel-i-cheat! Cheaters NEVER win and the NY Giants NEVER cheat!
Shut the Front Door People…
Posted by releedavis on January 30th, 2008…the front door to Starbucks. You will see me making a few extra morning starbucks jaunts if I can a cup-of-lovliness for only $1. Yes, it’s true, I can walk to Starbucks from my office and yes, it’s true, they are testing $1 coffees. Starbucks is my escape destination when I need to take a jaunt away from work for a while. You may think I work in an urban environment since Starbucks is so close by. Well, that’s not the case, I work in suburbia and Starbucks still finds a way to be on just about every block. Some may think it’s sad that Starbucks is as commonplace as stoplights, but to them I say, nay, I love that place, and my soy chai tea latte.
