How Much Useless Information Does My Brain Hold?

I woke up the other day singing the jingle from the "Regina Steamer Carpet Cleaner" commercial in my head. The last time I saw this commercial was probably 20 or so years ago. I think the only thing that would make me remember it is there was a girl in PS 23 named Regina and we used to call her 'Regina Steamer Carpet Cleaner', but not in a mean way. I saved all my mean taunts towards others for middle school. Anyway, thanks to the beauty and power of YouTube, here it is, just as I remember (including the little 5 note tag on the end).

In other news, the carpets in the apartment REALLY could use the Regina Steamer Carpet Cleaner right about now.




And as a bonus, here is another Regina Steamer Carpet Cleaner commercial that came up in the search, but I had never seen before- featuring one of the most underrated of all the Peanuts characters- Pigpen. I'm glad at least for 30 seconds Pigpen got a chance to shine without that asshole Charlie Brown trying to kick the football or getting his kite stuck in the tree. What a fucking douche.

Summer Vacation

Summer has come and gone, and I'm just realizing now that I went on two trips this summer and failed to write about either of them. So just for claritys sake, here they are in less than 1000 words...

1. Went to Disney World with the family. I wasn't sure how good a time I would have, but I didn't want to leave when it was time to go home. Obsessed over the World Showcase at Epcot. Spaceship Earth was closed- boo. Discovered that as an adult, you can do entire parks in less than a day. Ate salad. The heat was the most brutal I've ever experienced. Good times. Enjoyed the "Disney Dining Plan" and ate more than I've ever eaten before in my life. By the end of the week I felt like a Thanksgiving turkey.



2. Went to Vegas for Jarrod's bachelor party. Was robbed by the "Monopoly" and "Deal Or No Deal" slots. Got sick from expensive gelato at the Bellagio. Got sick from eating at the buffet drunk. Went to the top of the stratosphere. Discovered that I was the exact sort of idiot that casinos love to steal money from. I was completely convinced that I could hit the progressive jackpot if I could just get the bonus game one more time.



And that is summer vacation 2007 in a nutshell...
