HATED -- Trying to watch Scrubs reruns on Comedy Central, and getting constantly bombarded with commercials for a new show called The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show. Now. I've never actually seen the show, but the commercials alone make me want to vomit in terror. And also, I'm inevitably eating dinner when the commercials come on, and the two men who star in it.....well, to paraphrase the Sea Captain on The Simpsons...

"....Arrrr...we're not attractive."
Not cool, guys! Not cool!
HATED -- The wheezy, bear-like snorfling of a snoring guy sleeping next to me on the subway. Needless to say, that was the day I forgot my iPod. Aces!
******* Touch *******
LOVED -- The new non-murderous oven! I can hardly believe it's real. It's all I can do to keep from hugging it. Seriously.
HATED -- Toopweets' fat baby belly is incredibly dry and rough. I've tried Baby Aveeno, and Aquaphor, but no dice. ANY suggestions are much appreciated.
****** Scent ******
LOVED -- Bath & Body Works Brown Sugar and Fig Shower Gel. I just got this on Sunday . I hesitate to recommend it outright, because the scent is kind of cloying, but also awesome in a way I can't explain. Oh, wait. I don't have to; the Bath & Body Works people did it for me:
Fragrance Top Notes: Fresh California Fig Fruit, Passion Fruit, White Peach Fragrance Mid Notes: Vanilla Orchid, Sheer Jasmine, Muguet, Yellow Freesia, Coconut Milk Fragrance Base Notes: Vanilla Bean, Fig Leaves, Caramelized Sugar, Maple, Velvet Musk .
Mmmm.
HATED -- The decision by a woman on my train* to open and subsequently devour a big ol' smelly tuna sandwich. Lady! It's an enclosed train car! Have a heart!
*Hmmm; I just noticed how many of my "hates" are commute-related. I don't know what to make of that.

I know I usually don't leave comments, sorry for that but I decided to make a few here.
1) Those movie quizzes are HARD. Can't seem to get better than 5 for 8 on any of them.
If you liked that you should check these out: http://funwithmovies.com. Not as creative but still fun.
2) I love that Travis song. I discovered it a couple of years ago when it accidentally showed up on my Limewire search for Garden State Soundtrack songs (eventhough it is not on the soundtrack, though it should be because its awesome). Glad that someone else is giving it props.
3) I am not as bothered by Naked Trucker commercials as you are because seeing TBones always reminds me of Champ Kind in Anchorman. If I remember correctly, you hate that movie, so such a method won't work for you....but it helps lessen the blow of dealing with the commercials for what is most likely a horrible show.
BTW, thanks to you guys I've become a total Scrubs whore...... great show.
Also, suggestion for next quote of the week: Stick with the great Michael Scott: "That's two strikes for Dwight. And you know what they say, 'Fool me once, strike one; fool me twice.....strike three."
From what I understand, the Curel in the blue bottle is the best lotion there ever was. Your store is probably out of it since all the Internets have snatched it up. But you can see a picture of it here and just imagine it's lotiony goodness.
The headless guitar player? He's the one I developed a crush on while watching School of Rock. I know he's only 12, but he stole my heart. How can something so wrong feel so right? :)
Is Toopweets' tummy kind of rash-y? Because Sudocrem is freaking amazing on baby's bottoms...maybe it would work on the tummy too.
For baby sweet cheeks, maybe some Eucerin? I love it. But if Aquaphor didn't work, then it might come up short too.
I usually catch Scrubs on Comedy Central while at the gym, so my reaction to those stupid commercials is not as violent as it might be if I were eating.
Ari -- Wow, I'm so impressed with you for commenting. How does it feel?
I actually don't hate Anchorman anymore; I think it's hysterical now. I don't know what happenened; maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome or something. It's on all the damn time, and I think I've just seen it so many times that it finally grew on me.
(And isn't Scrubs the best?)
Mrs. CPA -- Thank you so much for the suggestion! I've actually used that one for myself in the past, but I'll definitely check it out again now.
Amanda --HA! I know, he's adorable...He's 12! And he plays guitar! I can't say that I blame you in the least. Thanks to you as well for the suggestion; I'm googling "Sudocrem" right now!
Christine -- I actually tried Eucerin already; it didn't seem to help. Boo. But thanks for the suggestion all the same!
RE: The Naked Trucker & T Bones Show--You raise an excellent point; I don't think I'd have as big of a problem were I not attempting to eat whilst a naked troll of a trucker pranced across my screen wearing nothing but work boots and a guitar. *Shudder*
Okay, those freakin' movie quizzes are ridiculously hard. I think it would be a little embarrassing to get them all right, because it would mean you were a movie rain man of sorts. I never got more than 2. Sad. Thankfully, I have not seen those Naked Trucker commercials.
I second the suggestion for Curel in the blue bottle. Love. My local Target always has it.
Forget personal hygiene--I think I want to EAT that shower gel. Sounds yummy! Scallion cream cheese on a raisin bagel--the opposite of yummy. Blech.
That shower gel does indeed sound good! I'll have to give it a sniff next time I'm in that store.
And scallion cream cheese on a raisin bagel...BLECH.
I forgive those Naked Trucker commercials because the tall, skinny one was Mr. Jeff Rosso, guidance counselor, on the late, great "Freaks & Geeks."
I have been hopelessly addicted to Filmwise for a while now. The first thing I do on Monday mornings when I get to work and turn on my computer is check out the new Invisibles quiz and see what last week's answers were. Closest I've gotten is 6. I also love the daily question (embarrassing confession - I knew today's without thinking too hard. It's from Showgirls.) and the contests.
Hey Metalia,
I'd say Udder Cream for the baby belly - cure's even the toughest, scratchiest, itchiest, and should be safe for the most sensitive of skins. I'd ask the pharmacist.
I second Nabbalicious' comment and would like to add that David Koechner was one of the few funny things on "Saturday Night Live" in the nineties.
He also played a waiter on "Freaks and Geeks."
I have been similarly annoyed by the omnipresence of the Naked Trucker commercials. I didn't even think I watched Comedy Central all that often and yet, there they always are.
And yay! You tried the white hot chocolate! And you didn't even have to force your husband to order it!
And finally, excellent paraphrasing (actually, it may even have been direct quoting) of the Sea Captain. I love that line.
both my children have horrible eczema. i use cetaphil cream along with a pharmaceutical compound. if you are interested, i'll email the components so your ped. can call it in for you. it works wonders on my children's severe allergy ridden skin and i mean severe!
and the dude on the left on the naked whatever the hell...is originally from oklahoma. useless info but, it speaks volumes for the WT factor.
I love so many of those things too! Good calls.
GG -- Consider yourself lucky that you've avoided the commercials so far!
Shawnee -- Thank you!
Liz -- It IS yummy. The bagel, not so much. I fortunately realized prior to actually ingesting it.
Nabbalicious -- Oh, I LOVED that show! I didn't realize that was him. Probably the nudity distracted me.
Sparkling -- Someone just sent me a link to them for the first time recently; I've been addicted ever since!
Anniina -- Ooh, thanks. I actually have some in the house, so I'll give it a shot. :)
Darren -- I forgave him just a little bit for his "Todd Packer" role on The Office, but it's good to know those other ones, as well! ;)
Stefanie -- Those commercials run NONSTOP. I'm glad I'm not alone! The white hot chocolate was awesome, and worth the wait. And I'm a big fan of the Sea Captain, and look for excuses to work his greatest hits into casual conversation. :)
Gorillabuns -- YES. PLEASE. That would be amazing! Thanks so much!
Red -- Why, thank you!
