Why do so many girls have tattoos of swallows?

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Pretty often, I see girls who are sporting a lot of ink. I am obviously no stranger to the gun, but ironically haven’t gotten another tattoo since I was 17. But in the right applications, I think some tattoos look good on the right girls. Wandering around Midtown, or in the times when I go to Little Five Points, if I said that I should drink a beer every time I saw a girl with a swallow tattooed on her, I would probably get hammered on a fairly regular basis.

I legitimately am curious to why this is such a popular thing to get tattooed, ignoring the obvious immature statements involving the word swallows. It’s a definite upgrade from the trend of gaudy tramp stamp tattoos, but it’s getting to the point of where it’s so common, it’s becoming anti-hip in my opinion. The irony of me making such a statement is that one of these days, I’ll meet a girl that I’ll totally dig, and she’ll have a swallow(s) tattooed on her, and I’ll be forced to eat my words but that’s okay.

Why do so many black people only pay in cash?

I know, it’s not February or Black History Month, but I still feel compelled to ask this question while it’s fresh in my mind. But honestly, genuinely, I really am curious to why so many black people are insistent on always paying for things in cash?

It doesn’t matter if I’m at Target, a clothing store, supermarket, or even at the Comcast service center I’ve been to more times than I should have, when it comes to most all of the black people I see paying for food, gas, clothing or bills, they’re doing so in cash. Especially the bills, but I may or may not get back to that, depending on my train of thought.

The first few times I saw the referenced YouTube clip, I couldn’t help but think that the commercial was presumptuous and pretty prejudice towards people who pay in cash, not to mention downright snobby. A deli-like food establishment isn’t exactly the best example to show the drawbacks of cash, and they certainly exaggerate the time it takes for a cash transaction to occur, not to mention not a single check card user seems to want a receipt for their transaction like people like me always want. But the message is fairly simple, which is that using a check/credit card is more expedient and/or convenient than paying in cash.

Peggy Bundy has aged very well

When Seth Green mentioned Katey Segal during Comedy Central’s Roseanne Roast, and the camera panned over to this voluptuous woman, my first thought was “holy shit, that’s Peggy Bundy?“

Growing up as a dedicated Married With Children fan, I never really thought Peggy Bundy was at all that attractive.  I mean I get it, there she was with her bouffant hair and her stretch pants and high heels always accentuating her large bust and shapely figure, but it never did it for me.  I don’t think it really was meant to do it for most guys.  But I could see how some might find the physical features appealing.  I never did.  Maybe it’s because of the successful development of a character that’s supposed to be the ultimate boner-killer that did it for me, but for all intents and purposes, I never found Peggy Bundy that attractive.

However seeing Katey Segal now, 15 years after the last episode of Married With Children aired, I’m kind of like whoa.

To cut to the chase, she’s in total alpha-cougar territory now.  Sleek dark hair instead of the trademark Peggy Bundy bouffant red hair, and the sexy librarian glasses, and a dress that accentuates the obvious fact that she has a rockin’ body and a nice rack.  I don’t really care if she’s had any work done or not, the fact of the matter is that she looks downright hot, today.

The WWE needs to be careful now

Since the 1,000th episode of RAW, the WWE has gone and made RAW into a three-hour show now, up from the previous format of two hours.  Nowadays, three hours is just way too long to be watching wrestling, and I can’t help but think back to how I did on such a regular basis when I was in high school.  Clearly, this is one of those situations where I feel like I’m showing my age, and I already don’t feel like I have enough time in the days sometimes.  Also, I think the fact that wrestling often conflicts with baseball during the summer has something to do with it as well.

But anyway, the fact that RAW now demands its wrestlers and personnel to be present for a three-hour program, I can’t help but feel a little concern for the direction of the company.  Now I’m sure that the WWE will be fine, because unlike its former competition in WCW, they’re run by smart, competent people.  But the concern does have to do a lot with WCW, because with a three-hour show on Monday, and a two-hour on Friday, WWE is currently riding the same kind of blueprint that essentially ended up being the death of WCW.

Comparing women from obscure TV ads

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Ever since I discovered the existence of Who Is That Hot Ad Girl, I’ve been able to fairly reliably track down most all of the random attractive women I see on television, who are schilling whatever they’re paid to schill in order to make ends meet on their ends. It’s easily one of my favorite sites, and it’s helped give me some idea of what I’ll be writing about today.

90% of the TV ads I see are typically while I’m running on the hamster wheel at the gym, or when I’m watching baseball. Pretty much everything else I watch is usually DVR’d, and I’m skipping through the commercials with relative ease. But in the cases of the gym and live baseball, I do not have that luxury, so I’m occasionally exposed to seeing commercials. But in some cases, like the particular ads I’ll point out, I couldn’t really care less of what is being advertised, because I’m too busy noticing the attractive women they have speaking on behalf of the services being advertised.

Despite the fact that I find all three of these women appealing, I can’t really say the reasons are that similar in each case. I guess what this boils down to do is that it’s a glimpse of what I find appealing to my aesthetics or how my mind kind of processes what I see in girls.

When your teammates don’t call MIAs
When nobody wants to be a tank
When Fizz hops harmlessly over your ult
When nobody buys any wards
When you die when a teammates hits a Teemo shroom
When your Brazilian teammate pings like crazy
When your Chinese teammate blames everyone else
When your jungling Shaco sucks
and theirs doesn’t.

You go QQ.

More entertaining than the O’s: Words With Friends

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Taken at Baltimore’s Camden Yards.  The funny thing is that the score was still within reach (2-0, 5th inning) when I took this photo, but apparently this guy felt that a 2-0 score in the fifth was out of hand enough to the point where he would rather indulge himself in some Words With Friends action than watch the Baltimore Orioles.

Interestingly enough, this guy was at the game with just one girl.  He wasn’t a part of a larger group and was the one guy that didn’t like sports, which led to his fleeing to play Words With Friends, the guy was on a date or something, and instead of paying attention to the girl or paying attention to the event, he’s sitting there playing Words With Friends.

The only logical conclusion at this point is that she likes baseball and he is a pussy.  Chicks who dig sports are alright in my book, even if their preferred team is the Baltimore Orioles.
