Orange Friday!

What’s good, y’all?

This is: Eat24’s app is finally available for free downloadage! Now not only do you not have to cook or shop or even get up…you don’t even have to go over to the computer. USA! USA! USA!

Feel free to make merry and feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and… you get the idea.

…and there was much rejoicing.

 

In other news: It’s now more illegal to carry 16 ounces of soda in New York City than 25 grams of marijuana.
Pardon us, Mayor Bloomberg, but between the reverse-weed-crackdown and Eat24’s new app, your iron-fisted soda sanctions aren’t gonna do much about obesity. That horse has left the proverbial barn. (And was delicious.)

In other-other news: Canada! Still weird. But in a good way.

And finally, if you found it even more difficult than usual to hold Mark’s attention this week, cut the lad some slack. His mind was on Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee, and who can blame him?

 

 

Right, we’re off to Mays Field. Between our drunken spirited exhortations, Barry Zito’s curveball and Siri’s wise counsel we hope the local nine have what they need to smite their enemies. (Who hath been naughty in our sight.)  Go Giants!

Eat24 – Less Time Cooking, More Time ____ing.

When we first discovered Eat24 – an online service that allows us to order food without having to deal with human beings – we wept tears of joy.  When we found them sitting in our conference room, a certain copywriter who shall remain nameless burst into the meeting and said, “You guys are Eat24? I f#*!ing love you guys!” …and the business was ours. A few months later, new work is beginning to break. Work like this right here. Enjoy.

 

In which our hero grabs some well-deserved me-time. Mmmm. Hero. Wonder where you could
order one of those for takeout and/or delivery?

 

Sloths are not lazy. They’re just conserving energy. We’d tell you to write that one down, but the
pen and paper are way…over…there.

 

We’re not saying you should order Eat24 for every meal, but if you did, you could make every shelf
in your refrigerator The Beer Shelf. 
 The more you know.
 

Let the eagle soar! (Especially if you’ve got a trained eagle who brings you delicious food.
If not, Eat24 can help.)

Refreshing Honesty. Cute Puppies. And The Irresistable Attraction Of The Monkey Bartender.

So, we're totally the first blog to mention this, right? No? Fine. Be that way.
But we would be remiss if we didn't give a nod to smartwater's approach here. By handing out some entertainment while acknowledging that there really isn't that much to say about smartwater, they made an awkward "Hi, We're A Big Dumb Corporation, Would You Like To Buy Some Water In A Bottle That Will Probably End Up, Ironically, Polluting Other Water?"-moment into something relatable and fun.  

In a world of "global leaders" running around "revolutionizing" things, self-deprecating humor stands out like Cary Grant in a room full of Carrot Tops.

Plus: Gratuitous Puppies. They're more impossible to resist than monkey bartenders. Well, almost.

It’s Aboot Respect.

You know, it’s sooo fashionable to pick on poor old Canada. “America’s Hat.” “America Junior,” “Blame Canada,” …we could go on. But when we see these amazing ads for Toronto’s Dangerous Dan’s? We think: "Wait a minute – universal health care, imaginary girlfriend storage, Tim Horton’s, beer...we should be nicer to those guys, eh?" 

So hungry.
Nice.

And the radio? Perhaps somewhat cryptic to the improperly medicated, but if you were – cough- part of the target audience so to speak? Spot-on.

 

That's what we're talkin' aboot!

Any country that has a city that has a diner that has "a 24oz burger served with a quarter pound of cheese, a quarter pound of bacon, and 2 fried eggs…comes with a large shake and a small poutine." for only $23.95 Canadian? That country is ok by us. And our cardiologists. (Who we could see for free if we lived in Canada.)

It’s Friday. It’s Lunchtime.

Hmm…lunchtime…What do we want?

Hey – we're into social media – maybe we should consult our peers!

Review 

Thanks, peers! This is even better than those Canadian Stoner Bears!

(You too, Consumerist.)

Have a bawlin' Friday, yo!
