Sal Biondo: Okay. The cop clocks the witch going 88 mph so he arrests her and takes her home and chains her to a table to sweep. This is such good news he and his wife toast with champagne??

Shovel Ready

Cidu Bill on Mar 19th 2009

shovelready.gif
“Shovel ready” is a Trendy Phrase du Jour (which actually dates back at least 15 years or so) referring to a construction site or project that can be used or started right away. Many comic strip characters have recently used the phrase to refer to themselves, including Alex Doonesbury, bemoaning her lack of a boyfriend, saying she’d be a shovel-ready girlfriend (which she presumably did not mean in an Arlo way).I sort of know what they’re getting at; but can anybody actually define what “shovel ready” means in this context?

I think we’re all just as happy this comic hasn’t been colorized, but presuamably the beer wasn’t green in the first panel. I can’t figure out what they’re getting at here joke-wise, but I’m fairly certain the Ewww designation is called for.

O.J. Insults Our Intelligence Again

Cidu Bill on Mar 17th 2009

Except this time we’re actually talking about orange juice.

In another How Stupid Do They Think We Are episode, Tropicana is proudly offering us Trop 50, with half the sugar and half the calories of their regular orange juice. The secret, apparently, is a drink that’s 1/2 orange juice and 1/2 water, enhanced with vitamins to equal what you’d get in a glass of actual orange juice.

As you’d expect, the price for this H2OJ is the same as for their actual orange juice — but if you look closely, you’ll see that insult has in fact been added to injury: Where the orange juice container contains 64 ounces, the identically-priced (and near-identical-looking) Trop 50 container contains 59 ounces. Yes, you’re expected to pay a premium for the watered-down product.

Exciting News!

Cidu Bill on Mar 15th 2009

File this under “How stupid do they think we are?” (which of course is generally a rhetorical question).

A local supermarket chain is publicizing the “Exciting News!” that any customer who spends at least $1000 in a calendar quarter will receive 1 Continental Airlines OnePass point for every $2 spent. All very well and good, but no mention of the fact that up to now they were awarding 1 point for each dollar spent, without any $1000 threshold.
