Re: Random Monday Morning Poll

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?

    Right now- the cat food commercial where the guy proposes to his fiancee by putting a tag on the kitten that says "Will You Marry Us?"  Gets me everytime!

    All time- hmmm...this is a hard one.  Probably the Honda commercial that ran last winter with the dogs in the dog race.  Those dogs, especially the one dressed like a hot dog, were adorable.

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to? Dave Matthews Band at the Vet- 5/20/99

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod?Probably most of it... The entire Green Day catalog (my like of them goes back to 8th grade in 1994), Culture Club, Lacuna Coil.  I have very varied musical tastes. 

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store? Yes- I wouldn't want it to put a dent in my car, so I have that same courtesy for others.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one?  First spot

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it? I don't have a Facebook account.  I just feel like it's more trouble than what it's worth.  I hear of too many fights within families, etc. because of what people post on Facebook, so I just steer clear.

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?

    I don't really have a favorite now, since I mostly start watching a show a few minutes after it has started to avoid commercials.  All time favorite I think is the Comcast commercial where the guy gets the tiger tattoo on his body.  "Sorry Roger, you tiger now!"

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to? Probably one of the freestyle concerts I went to in '09.  It was so much fun reliving my adolescence.

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod? I'm kind of all over the place musically so I don't think there's anything too surprising.  I have (mostly) pop, rock, oldies, hard core rap, old school and newer hip hop, Christmas music, etc.

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store? Depends.  If it's heavy raining and I'm far from the cart return, I leave it.  Otherwise, I usually return.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one? Again depends.  If it's raining or really cold or I'm just feeling lazy, I'm looking but if it's a nice day, I usually take the first spot I see.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it? I like keeping in touch with family and old friends and being nosy.  I hate the constant amount of soliciting, bitching, spam/advertisements and "copy this..." status updates.

  • imageTianacheron:

    1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?  The one I saw with Alec Baldwin and John Krasinski for MLB Merch is current fave.  Couldn't say for an all-time fave...

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to?  The Pixies at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, 1989.  Close second would be Plastic Beach Tour - Gorillaz (Susquehanna Bank Center).

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod?  When The Man Comes Around - Johhny Cash; The Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson; Fire on The Mountain - Wanda Jackson

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store?  Yes.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one?  Depends on how busy the place is.  If it's busy, I take the first one I see.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it?  Love - Catching up quickly with accquaintances/friends (seeing photos).  Hate - Stupid games like Farmville; ex boyfriends.

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?

    I honestly have no idea. I guess I don't pay attention to them.

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to? I have two: Lincoln Park and Bon Jovi

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod? I don't have an Ipod. But on my MP3 player, I guess that would be surprised that I have a few songs from Gilmore Girls on there and Selena soundtrack.

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store? Most of the time. I try and park next to the cart return because Logan will already be in the car as I pack groceries away. If I don't park close, I'll take him with me to return it. If it's raining and I can't park next to the return, Logan will be in the car and I leave the cart off to the side. it's a process.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one? I try and find a close one but usually take the first spot I see.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it? I like keeping in touch with family and old friends and being nosy.  I hate the constant amount of soliciting, bitching, spam/advertisements and "copy this..." status updates. (ditto Jess).


  • imageTianacheron:

    1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?

    i know some people hate them but the e-trade babies crack me up.  i love the one where the kid gets sent to his crib because "riding the dog is not acceptable IN.THIS.ESTABLISHMENT

    fav of all time- the cheesy hallmark ones that come out around mothers/fathers day and christmas.  i am a sucker. 

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to?

    whoa- super tough call.  rage/wu in summer of 97 (96?) was AWESOME.  amazing show.  pearl jam is alawys great.  i think the last bruce show at the spectrum may take the cake at this point but it was more recent than the other 2. 

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod?

    please see above..... my ipod is a mess.  i go from classical to wu tang with the entire beastie boys catalog in between.  not to mention by love of classic rock.  right now we are starting playlists for the kid so those might seem a bit more random comparatively but none of it is really kids music. 

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store?

    return it.  i hate when people don't.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one?

    usually just grab a spot.  my thought usually is- the amount of time i spend driving around would equal the time it takes for me to walk from point a to point b.  plus, i don't drive all that often and parking lots annoy the crap out of me. 

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it?

    love- keeping up with friends/family.  tiana's kids hilarious quotes.  stalking other people's pictures

    hate- creepers who you really don't want to be friends with but feel obligated to for some odd reason.  ads.  the odd sense of guilt when you miss a kid's bday who you went to hs with that you would otherwise never wish a happy bday.

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?  I love the E-Trade commercials with the babies right now.  Fave of all time would have to be the old school Folger's commercial that is played at Christmas time.  Gets me every time!

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to?  Matt Nathanson or U2 - both awesome in very different ways

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod?  NKOTB, 'NSync, and the Saved by the Bell theme song.  I'm lame.

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store?  Return

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one? I usually look for a spot near the exit or near a cart corral.  I look for one close to the door when it's rainy.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it?  Love - It's organized nosiness, and I'm nosy.  Hate - the chain letter-esque status updates about cancer and mom-week and the color of my bra.

    i would now like to shamefully add the 90210 soundtrackS to my answer to #3.  judge away- i love reliving the 1990s.

  • imageTianacheron:

    1. Honestly, I have no clue.   

     2. I've never really been to a bad concert but my favorites have been DMB, The Doors and Norah Jones.

     3. I think most people that know me know that my musical taste is all over the place so I just picked the first three artists that came up on shuffle:  Bjork, Toots & the Maytals and Frank Sinatra.

    4. There have been times when I haven't but I always try to return it.  The time I haven't have mainly been when I'm out alone when the kid and I get all the bags in the car and get him in the car and there is no return cart thing anywhere in sight.  I don't feel comfortable leaving him alone in the car while I trek back to the store with the cart.

    5. Since my back is crappy, I do try and find a close spot but I won't circle until I find one, if there isn't one within my sight I just park wherever.

    6. I love that I can keep up with family and friends in a way that I would never be able to do without it.  I like hearing family news (like births, engagements etc) instantly without having to wait for an aunt to call my mom to call me.  I hate it for the same reason I love it, that it sucks you in and really ends up making us more anti social because instead of hearing news by talking to people or seeing them you're reading it in your pj's sitting on the couch alone.

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time? I also love the Etrade babies. No idea of all time.

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to? Bruce Springsteen!

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod? Umm...I don't know. I guess some people would be surprised that I love country music.

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store? Yes. I get wildly pissed when I see people who don't.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one? Somewhere in between.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it? Love being able to stalk random acquaintances that I never/rarely see (including exes). Hate that older family members feel the need to comment on EVERYTHING.

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time? I hate commercials.

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to? Pink Floyd

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod? I don't have an ipod

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store? return it.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one? search out the closest one

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it? Being able to keep up with family, looking at photos.  Hate the post this, its so and so week, fortune cookies, horoscopes, etc...

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?

    Right now- the Zooks commerical where the girl goes on the date with the guy that plays darts-- "I'm gettin' crazy loose". 

    Of all time-- the Hallmark commercial where the people are stuck in the elevator and the woman gets a card from an old friend.  *sniff*  A very close second, I have to agree with Jess-- "Sorry Roger, you tiga now!"

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to?

    Tie between Dido at the Electic Factory (2001?) and AudioSlave at the Borgata (2006?)  I'm not a big concert person.

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod?

    I don't have an iPod or any kind of MP3 player.  I'm technologically dumb.  I guess people would be most surprised that I do know the words to some country songs because I don't hide my distain for country music.

     4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store?

    Always take it back into the store.  I hate it when people leave them helter skelter around the parking lot-- so freakin' lazy.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one?

    I usually just find the first spot.  Unless it's raining-- I'm made of sugar and might melt.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it?

    UGGGGh, the 'check in' status updates.  I honestly don't care if you are at some restaurant or at the gym.   

    I hate how seriously people take Facebook-- from the crazy political debates I've seen on there, to the "how dare you defriend me" messages.  IT"S JUST FACEBOOK.  Post your pictures, and stalk people's birthdates.  The end.

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?

    Running now..not sure. I usually DVR and skip them. Favorite..the one where they sing "Roy, Roy Roy Roy...Roys the man..going to work.." Can't even tell you what the commercial is for but the singing along is fun.

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to?

    I've seen Bon Jovi more times than I can count and they were all awesome. Best one though was at Giants Stadium..it was the last show of the tour and they sang Never Say Goodbye while setting off fireworks.

    I seriously listen to anything. I have heavy metal, classical, indie rock, etc.

    Yes, always.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it?

    Love..seeing photos of everyones lives that I care about. Hate..oversharers who post 100 status updates that have way to much personal info in them.

    My little nuggets

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time?

    I can't think of my favorite running now, but my all-time favorite is the Staples "it's the most wonderful time of the year".

    Also, now I have the "Roy" commercial in my head "Roy's the man, going to work... gotta job, got ambition... he knows one day he just might becoooomeee.... supervisior" 

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to?

    Billy Joel at the Wachovia Center on Valentine's Day a couple of years ago. 

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod?

    I don't listen to a lot of music.  Mainly PnS podcasts.

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store?

    Most of the time. 

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one?

    Closest.  It irritates the heck out of me when FI parks a mile away and there's 17 closer spots.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it?

    Love being able to keep in touch with people without actually having to converse with them.  Hate that people feel the need to express every single though they've every had on there.

  • 1. What's your favorite commerical running now? Favorite of all time? Omg, I die every time I see the "I'm in love with a McDonalds girl" commercial. DIE. I don't think I have a favorite commercial ever though.

    2. What's the best concert you've ever been to?  This is super hard.  My fave would be my first Madonna concert (Drowned World) or the first time I got to see Live in concert and my DH surprised me for my bday. The runners-up are a tie between No Doubt in '01 or '02 because I was inches from Gwen and she was smokin' hot... and when I saw John Mayer when he released Room for Squares and just melted.  This probably says a lot about my awful musical tastes...

    3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod? Tenacious D

    Country

    Broadway. 

    None of this is probably surprising.

    4. Do you return your cart to the cart pick up area at the grocery store? Yes, absolutely.  Rain or shine, I will walk it to the nearest receptacles or even the front of the store.  I'm kinda nutty about it.

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one?  Funny, I will walk the cart a mile to return it but I ALWAYS try to find the closest spot.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it?I love cyber-stalking people's photos, especially people from HS. I hate knowing that people cyber-stalk mine.

  • imageTianacheron:

    i love commercials, i don't know why but i just do! right now its the zoosk or some dating website advertisement where the girls date is a professional darts player, hysterical!! of all time- the vitamin water commercials with mother nature (and not just because mother nature is black, although that doesn't hurt!), and her host of animal employees

     2. What's the best concert you've ever been to?

    that's a tough one, its probably the roots

    Depends, if i have the girls, closest one, by myself, first one I see

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it?

    I love reconnecting with old friends, me and my high school bff lost contact after college when she moved to Ireland, I found her sister on fb, we reconnected and its been absolutely wonderful.  I hate the liars that have these great perfect lives EVERYDAY, stop telling me about how great you husband, family, life is . . . . somedays its great; others i want to strangle my husband, leave my kids on a strangers steps or run away

     3. What 3 songs/artists would people be surprised to find on your ipod? Rage Against the Machine, Lady Gaga, and George Harrison

    5. When you're in a parking lot, do you just take the first spot you see or try and find the closest one? First one for the extra movement to and from the store.

    6. What do you love about facebook? What do you hate about it? i love that i can keep up with everyone without an hour long conversation that I dont have time for. i hate that I also can see how many of my white trash "friends" are having their second or third children while not working and knowing darn well they are on welfare. Whats even worse is that everyone is congratulating them. WTF?? I know people that are currently spending tens of thousands of dollars to get pregnant and still cant, and these peices of trash get knocked up just for being too lazy to use a condom. 1 oops kid, ok, 2, there is no excuse.
