What happened to it is that it just got AWESOME!
Plain White T milk shakes and All American Rejects ‘SOS’ sandwiches are cravings All Americans can now satisfy.

Dennys may have been labled as ‘uncool’ because of the fair number of dentures you’d see on tables while being seated. Or because maybe you were served your Grand Slam Scramble by a waitress carrying her downs baby in her spare arm. I don’t know. But with a brilliant marketing strategy targeting the tweens, we will finally be able to suggest without embarrasment, “Lets go eat at Lennys…er Dennys.”

I can’t wait for the Megadeath Mega Dead Burger and Misfits Mac and Cheese to satisfy my personal tastes.

There has been a bit of debate about the quality of the Taco Bell lifestlye on whateves.com before, but in Florida Taco Bell means some serious business to people.   A woman in Florida, who wasn’t Bumps (I checked) , parked her car at a closed Taco Bell at 2:30am and demanded she get some tacos.  Sure she was drunk, but that goes without saying. She had a flat tire and was unfit for tacos. 911 was alerted and she went to jail.

Proof.

Ha ha ha…this is awesome!

Get the t-shirt, mug and more. Spread the word!

When I was a kid I remember going to the candy store (not CVS, Target or 7-11) It was a legit candy store. Candy was displayed in big apothecary jars and in old apple barrels. I loved to get the Sunkist Fruit Gems, they are/were round jelly candy’s with a crystal like sugar coating. But now and again I would look for something new. This is when I would buy something from the Ferrara Pan company.

The other day I found a store that sells Ferrara Pan candy… you know: Lemonheads, Alexander The Grape, Johnny Apple Treats, Cherry Clan, Boston Baked Beans, Jaw Busters, Atomic Fire Balls, etc. All of the above candy was a staple in any given Halloween. However, I noticed the candy company Ferrara Pan changed a few of the names (except Boston Baked Beans, Jaw Busters & Atomic Fire Balls) but kept the flavors the same. I can understand changing the Cherry Clan graphic, I can see how that one could be a bit offensive but why change only a few of the names? Was there a problem with the name Alexander The Grape? Did Johnny Apple Treats cause a problem with other apple flavored candies?

And this brings me to my next issues. Why did all the new names take after Lemon Heads? Alexander The Grape became Grape Heads, Johnny Apple Treats became Apple Heads and Cherry Clan became Cherry Heads. The naming is not as creative as the originals. Sigh, I want my childhood back

I work for the City of Santa Ana and for the second time I have been put in charge of finding musical entertainment for the Annual Southern California Coastal Cleanup day on Saturday, September 18th. This is the same event that Sendaero was commissioned to perform at two years ago. Last year there was no band, but I did back into and demolish the car that belonged to the parent of a high school student who was volunteering with a huge City Owned Flatbed Truck.

The Problem is that I don’t know anybody in bands anymore. So if you know people who have a band that is accessible to people outside of whatever specific musical niche or sub genre the band may cater to (aka they can’t be Chaos UK), then hit me up. I need to have this nailed down by the end of the weekend, and the band will get a check for at least $300.00 a few weeks after the event.

The band will be expected to be set up and ready to go by 11:30 am (Tenacious D is out) and play from Noon until 1:30 at Santiago Park in Santa Ana.

Every year the same people that throw the Fuck Yeah Fest  (Sean Carlson and Keith Morris) put on the LA Scavenger Hunt. This summer marked the 5th anniversary. Some of our whateves writers and myself participated in the first one and what a debacle that was! They hand you a list of random things to either collect all over the city or take pictures of as proof of completion. The year we participated the list included things such as (but not limited to) a picture with a topless stripper (bouncer was extra points), a glass eye, a crack pipe, a bottle of night train, a photobooth picture kissing an old man, a dread lock, photographic proof of swimming in Mcarthur Park lake ….you get the picture..We completed as many tasks as we could and rushed to the finished line, as it was first in with the most items completed on the list was the wiener (yeah I meant to say that). We thought that we would at least place since we did have a Polaroid of me feeling up a topless woman with a bouncer next to me. The after party was where they were going to announce the winner but somehow, someway, Sean Carlson lost the clipboard denoting who turned in what. I think there was even a fire. Typical. Needless to say we walked away empty handed, although we did have an amazing time completing our mission. The reason for this post is simple. The 5th annual LA Scavenger Hunt just happened and look what the LA times posted…

As some of you know Baskin-Robbins can do no wrong in my eyes (previous post). B-R are as famous for their flavors reflecting current trends for the past 40 or so years as much as they are for their tasty treats. So of course they have created two distinct new flavors representing both political parties and have asked their fellow Americans to vote for their favorite!

Straight Talk Crunch: Caramel ribbon, chocolate pieces, candy red states and crunchy mixed nuts swirled into White Chocolate ice cream.

She’s nothing! She’s like the Pastors wife who gets cheated on, but stays with him. A librarian with a big stack of “HUSH!”. She fills up every lil’ box on the Starbucks cups when she orders. And I’m seriously beginning to doubt her commitment to Sparkle Motion.

No thanks lady… I’ve already got a mom… in fact, I’ve got 2.

Oh, and John McCain looks like death. 

Yeah… I said it!

While I got a good chuckle out of “going out in a blaze of bluegrass”, my frustration and anxiety with what has happened over the RNC has made me take up Madex on his suggestion that I contribute rather than criticize.

I have been watching with growing disgust as stories come out about the abuses going on before the RNC started and the tactics of the Police force in dealing with protesters during the convention. What I have not been hearing is commentary from anyone that I know, and that’s almost as disturbing.

I first noticed the story when the Police pre-emtively raided houses where protests were being planned and illegally seized people’s property. Then you had Amy Goodman from Democracy Now being arrested, despite showing a press tag as she attempted to intervene in two other DM reporters from being arrested. And Finally today you have Police shooting explosive devices into a crowd of protesters who were “verbally abusing” them. Really? The proper response to someone yelling obscenities at you is to shoot tear gas at them?

What do y’all think? What is the RNC so afraid of that they need to arrest people for PLANNING peaceful demonstrations?  Why isn’t ANY of this being reported through National News sources (this is a redundant question, the real question is why do we accept that it is not being reported) and where do you draw the line between the Police holding a defensive position and waging war against an unarmed populace?

I wish I could make this slicker, but you are going to have to actually click the three links:

This shit is something else!

I don’t know how or why, but I ended up watching America’s Got Talent last night… Holy Crap! Was I ever pleased to find JONATHAN BURKIN the BATON TWIRLER!

Cliches Galore. A Subtext Smorgasbord. I kept rubbing my eyes waiting for a cameo from Andy Samberg, but this shit is fer real!

Jonathan Berkin 

I don’t know what’s better, the emotionally riveting pre-performance bio, the soundtrack, the flames, or the Hoff. I love it all!

P.S. MadEx I wish you got promoted to work on this show. This is your caliber of awesomeness.

I posted a while back about David Beckham and Feist appearing on Sesame Street. Well, tonight I found out a few more names that will be appearing on this season.

I’m excited to see everyone on this list: Jonah Hill, Feist, Heidi Klum, Neil Patrick Harris, Randy Jackson, Will Arnett, Jack Black, David Beckham, LL Cool J, Jessica Alba, Molly Shannon and Jenny McCarthy

I can’t wait to see Heidi Klum, Neil Patrick Harris (I like to call him NPH) and Will Arnett.

Between recording Yo Gabba Gabba and now Sesame Street  you would think I have children.

Sorry, you will have to check your local listing for air times. I have no idea when they will be played.

When sailing in Spain, watch out for reefs. Google maps shows a sinking barge… or a bad photoshops.

Attention Whateves Readers: We are currently trying to raise enough money to be the first owners of the Hippo waterslide in California. I am not sure what it costs, or where we would put it, but those are just details. Please, give what you can.
