Honest Slogans

I don't remember when I first discovered Honest Slogans and started subscribing to it in my reader, but I always look forward to the posts. This has been one of my favorites, a more recent one:


They've all been funny, but this one really made me laugh:

 
There are just too many to post all my favorites, but thank goodness there's an archive.

Many thanks to the webmaster Clif Dickens;  we had an email exchange after I had asked permission to link to his site and to use a few of his creations; I told him his Axe parody hit close to home, that I used it but wasn't particularly proud of the fact.  He admitted that he also used the product.  I'm so glad, I didn't want to throw away my last purchase of it.  People might not like my scent, but they darn sure wouldn't like the scent that it's sprayed on to cover up.

Hava Nagila Texas Style

My last post (just under this one) made me want to listen to the song and I found this version.

Mazel tov!

How well do you know your Yiddish?



Guess my reading Chaim Potok, being able to sing along with Hava Nagila and watching Seinfeld finally paid off.

Here's a personal anecdote; I was in FFA back in h.s. and raised a few show pigs.  I made the sale with my pig my first year and sold it for a good price.  The man who bought it had a metal supply company and did a lot of business with the company my pop worked for and dad also bought a lot of metal from him for his projects he was constantly working on.  The man's name?  Arthur "Artie" Aftergut, a nice Jewish man.  I always thought that funny, even though he didn't buy the hog to eat but for a business deduction.  Still....

The Spring Test

You Are Solitary

You are big on solitude, reflection, and quiet. You love the calmest moments of spring - when the world is still waking up.

You enjoy having time to yourself to take everything in. You function better if you can process on your own schedule.

You notice every detail of life and can spend a lot of time thinking about one or two tiny little things.


You are good at coping with the busyness and chaos of life if you have enough down time. You find your inner peace and comfort.
