Be true to your school... because Bullet Sunday starts... now...
• Blocked! Now this... this... is probably the funniest thing I've seen all week...
Oh I'll just bet. Being lambasted with tons of shitty ads is totally the experience I'm looking for.
Courtesy of the Seattle Seahawks and their bizarre need to capitalize "ad blocker" as a proper noun.
• Oh Canada! And so our lovely neighbors to the north decided to help out with the U.S. national anthem when the microphone failed at a Toronto hockey game...
Amazing. If I had to return the favor it would go something like this...
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
Yada yada yada glowing hearts!
Yada glorious and free!
La la la. Yada yada yada.
Go Canada!
Huh. Guess I should look into those lyrics.
• Schadenfreude! When you have to resort to lies and hatred to make your argument, you've failed before you've even started. Well, the "National Organization from Marriage" never had anything but lies and hatred to make their arguments against marriage equality, so the fact that they've collapsed into a pile of debt comes as no surprise. Their constant stream of bigoted bullshit is on the wrong side of history and was doomed to fail. Seriously couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of assholes.
• Crispy! Chris Christie is a piece of shit. A literal piece of shit. Somebody should scrape him off the sidewalk and flush him down the toilet. Never mind that 93% of his constituents support him signing a bill that would reduce the utter torture that poor pigs have to endure before being slaughtered, he's going to take a pass because he might run for president some day, and the wishes of people in Iowa are more important than his own state. THIS is politics in the United States of America...
U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S... oh whatever.
• Miss? Few things can beat the creamy goodness of a hot cup of Swiss Miss on a cold day. As I was making me some today, I was surprised to see that there was no image of an actual Swiss Miss on the box...
Bizarre. I always thought there was. I tried Googling for some photos of old packaging to see if I was remembering seeing her sometime in my youth, but came up empty. The closest I could find was some retro packaging from 2012 which had a freaky puppet-looking thing on it... but no Swiss hottie like I was expecting...
Maybe I'm imagining her. Perhaps I was thinking of Betty Crocker or the Land O Lakes Indian Maiden? I dunno. I hope it's not Little Debbie that's in my head.
• Bulet Sunday Reading List! Stuff to think about...
And... I'm just shootin' blanks now. Until next Sunday...

I found a few Youtube videos of Swiss Miss ads from the 1970’s. 1977 and 1972. And that freaky puppet-looking thing was in BOTH commercials! I don’t remember her either. And she was on the packaging in 1977. But there was a different looking Miss on the 1972 packaging.
Here’s the video.
And here’s the image.
Now I need to do a double take next time I’m in the hot cocoa aisle at the grocery store. I swear I’ve seen her on a box recently.
