I agree that Axe commercial is nasty.

What about the butt wipe commercials when they first came out??

I mean, who was the marketing genius for this catastophe? Showing butts wiggling? Ass wipes for adults??

RE: the Quizno's "creatures". I read about them this week in the Austin paper & how they have a cult following in Australia & the Quizno's ad people got a hold of them. Creeps me out! They said that people just want to know what they ARE! Some say hamsters, some say squirrels, and some even say POTATOES!! LOL!!!!!!

EMD1 have you tried using poles? A friend of ours with a very bad knee uses Leiki poles and it really helps. I would be ranting, too, if I thought I was going to miss out on the hiking in beautiful Zion.

cmcfong: THANKS for that advice. I will try the poles- very good suggestion.
See, this is exactly what I liek about Friday rants and raves. For some reason it draws out all the best parts of people, and hardly ever any nasty stuff on here.

For Scarlett: No, ma'am, I haven't moved recently. I'm still livin' it up in the LBC-- Long Beach, CA in the HEEZIE! :)

Hey!! I DID post a trip report for DC, except there wasn't much to report since we barely left the hotel! ;-) I'll try to find it to top it off for you!!

ooo MissJanna that sounds like a LOT to report! :S-

Rant: Vague titles in postings: "Where to stay", "Which hotel"

Rave: Date (Jan 20) posted in title of this week's Freaky Friday

Rant: Restaurants suddenly building outdoor seating for smokers, after years of non-smokers being forced to "suck it up" (pun intended) or go somewhere else. (Why wasn't OUR comfort considered?)

Rave: Neat new Nextel "walkie talkies" so we can be share in BOTH sides of the conversation instead of just one. <g>

Real Rave: Friendly Freaky Friday threads.

Oh NO! rb_traveler...you posted on a MONDAY! Naughty naughty!
