Naked Cowboy in Daytona Beach during Bike Week

 Yep, today I share with you a video of our friend The Naked Cowboy that most of the movie was filmed in Daytona Beach during Biketoberfest. The song is funny and the video shows many of the hot spots on Main Street in Daytona Beach.

Recently the Naked Cowboy filed suit against Mars the makers of M & Ms candy for using the candy in commercials with his likeness. I wish Robert Burck all the luck with the suit as to me it appears obvious that the company clearly used his icon in the commercial without his permission.

Any way, enjoy the video and don’t forget to book your hotel rooms early for Biketoberfest. They are going fast this year.

Biketoberfest is not as far away as you think!

Last year I did a post on Super Bowl facts before the big football game. This year I want to look at the advertisement and the big buzz of what the ads will be like. There are a few super bowl ads sneak previews out there and here I have posted some of the available videos giving us a pre game look at what halftime will bring in 2008. 2.7 million dollars in advertising has been spent by big companies to get to the super bowl this year and while none of the ads are made to make you drop what you are doing to run out and but their product, it is more about brand recognition.

Of course one of the biggest advertiser to hit this mark would be Budweiser. Even if you do not drink beer, you know the name from the super bowl ads. Therefore, if you ever decided to have a beer, what do you think you might ask for? I think you might go for a Bud or bud light. Brand recognition is definitely what Bob Parsons, CEO of Go daddy is shooting for his his version of super bowl advertising. On Bob’s blog, he generates a great deal of excitement about the ads with his readers long before super Sunday. In the past, Parsons has put the rejected ads out for everyone to see to draw in new traffic. This year the approach is a little more on the it is a secret side of the dial. Bob is only allowing a small pinch of the video to be seen and then promising that all 3 ads will be available to be viewed online on February 3rd. While most super bowl advertising shoots toward humor, Bob Parsons uses sex to gain brand recognition. Indy race car driver Danica Patrick might not be a super model, but the Go daddy super bowl ad “exposure” makes her look like one and the ad as well as the ads from previous super bowls are all on one landing page. But now it is time for a commercial break and a word from some parrots? Watch the super bowl ad below

Yeah right. Just an example of the ads that we laugh at and talk about for a week after the game. Speaking of talking about the ads, You Tube has set up a page where the ads will be shown again and you can vote for your favorite super bowl ad here. One thing for sure, most people watching the game will get up to go to the bathroom before half time. No one wants to miss those super bowl ads!

It reminds of a old cooking show that I used to watch when I was a kid. The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr. 

Christmas Cuervo Cookies

  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • Lemon juice
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup nuts
  • 2 cups of dried fruit
  • 1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila

Sample the Cuervo to check quality.
Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo
again to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again.
At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.
Pick the frigging fruit off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Check the Jose Cuervo.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don’t forget to bean off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

It does not matter how they are cooked… I don’t like them period.

As a kid my mother used to make me eat at least a few of them! YUK! I swallowed them whole like a pill, washing them down with kool-aid.

Most of us have a 7-11 of other type of convenience store within a mile or two of where we live. Fast food joints are built and open overnight. Americans like to be able to grab things on the run and it is no secret society.

Occasionally, we have to go to a local super-store just to get a few items. We would like the same in and out convenience of the local 7-11 when this happens. However, this is not always the case. Ever notice how the amount of items in the so called quick checkout have gone up? I remember the day when these lanes were for 5 or less items and cash only. Those days are gone! Today the quick checkout lanes are up to 20 or even 30 items and there are those that think that 40 cans of the same brand of cat food constitute 1 item. The only way that you can achieve a quick in and out few item trip to Wal*Mart is to go at 3 a.m. This is really the best time to shop at the store period. Unless you thrive on the idea of to see and be seen shopping at the neighborhood savings store.

OK, so to the point about the cart racing. Today was one of those occasions that we had to go to Wally World only to get 2 items, carrots and ginger root. These items, of course, would not be available at the local convenience store. We get our items quickly. But now comes the big slow down, getting to and through the checkout. Now today this was quite comical to watch. Cindi, my wife, heads off in the direction of the quick lanes while eyeing up the current lines. I watched as her and another lady were scanning the lanes looking for the best route to take. Both women’s carts still rolling and searching for direction, while each was watching the other out of the corner of the eye. I seen the competitive look and stance that these two took while still moving in search of the quickest way out of the store.

The whole time I was in the background watching this scene, the idea of a new indoor racing event came to mind. Wal*Mart cart racing! That is exactly what these two women were poised for and the race was on. The way that the checkout lanes are designed at a Wal Mart is kind of strange to begin with as they have 2 cashiers in a lane. Just as the thought of the sport of cart racing was going through my mind, I seen Cindi spot a lane opening. It was so comical to watch as they both had their eye on the open lane and you could almost hear the sound of revving engines and squealing tires as both started for the checkout. Funny thing was that Cindi was actually 1 lane over so the other lady had the obvious advantage. I watch as Cindi put here head straight up and pushed her cart in high gear down her lane then crossing over to the next to the open checkout. The other lady gave up reluctantly, but knew she had been whipped by a well experienced cart driver.
