Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Sunday Rerun - Sonic Commercial

I get sooooo excited about our bloggy Sunday reruns!!! Thanks so much to Chari over at Happy to Design for hosting Sunday Favorites.

Being an undeniable Blogaddict, I loved this old Sonic commercial. They "get" what we bloggers know, namely that a blog without readers and commenters is null and void.

Sonic Man's Blog
First posted October 9, 2006

(photo from a Sonic commercial)

Blogging hit the "big time" - - - it's gotten into a commercial!!!!

The scene: Husband and wife sitting in their car enjoying strawberry cheesecake milkshakes from Sonic. Here's my "rough" translation of what happens next - - -

Husband says: "I think I'll write all about this on my blog so my readers will know to try one."

Wife says: "What readers? The only person who reads your blog is your mom"

Husband replies: "No, I think she told her neighbor"

Wife: "Oh, so now you have TWO readers?"

I LOVE IT!!!!! (No, not the shakes - - - - the fact that blogging is in a commercial)

We definitely played Kick the Can at night. The can was always under the street light. Is Annie Annie Over the same thing as Red Rover, Red Rover? That other game must have been a Northern Wisconsin thing.; May 23, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: No, Red Rover, Red Rover was a different game. Annie, Annie over was played by throwing a ball over the roof of a small building, like a separate one car garage. If someone on the other side CAUGHT the ball before it hit the ground, they would all come charging around and try to "tag" you before you could run over to their side. If they tagged you, you were on their team.; May 23, 2009 at 8:54 PM
xinex said...: LOL! That is so funny especially because it is the husband and not the wife who blogs...Christine; May 23, 2009 at 9:51 PM

Kim @ Starshine Chic said...: We just got Sonic here in southern California. It's about time!!!! I haven't seen that commercial. I'm totally addicted to blogging too. I love Chari's Sunday Favorites. It gives us a chance to get more readers and make more blogging friends. And blogging isn't fun without readers or friends. They validate our existence!!! lol.; May 23, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Kathy's Red Door Welcome said...: I love all of those Sonic commercials. They remind me of myself and my husband. I appreciate the dry humor.; May 23, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Cass @ That Old House said...: We get Sonic commercials here in NJ, but no Sonic! My kids have had Sonic in Arkansas; loved it.

This is a very funny spot -- I can relate!

Keetha Broyles said...: Dear friends all: Thanks for coming and commenting on my Sunday Rerun.

I HOPE all of you get to see this particular Sonic Commercial because it is soooooo fitting for those of us who blog, HOWEVER, I saw it back in 2006 and haven't seen it in several years now. Yesterday I TRIED to find it on YouTube to post the video here, but alas and alack I couldn't find it there either.

I guess that's a challenge for someone who loves challenges - - - find the video and post it for the rest of us. I think it would be worth the chuckle!!!!; May 24, 2009 at 6:09 AM

Dixie said...: I do so adore the woman in these commercials... what a great advertising campaign... and they got YOU to blog about it... TWICE! LOL; May 24, 2009 at 1:07 PM
Diane said...: I have not seen this Sonic commercial, but will most definitely be keeping an eye out for it! I just love coming over to visit you!

I am so far behind with reading and commenting; I apologize. The past week was a bad one for me, nothing particular just a 'blue' week. This widowhood stuff is hard sometimes, I'll tell you!

Loved your Friday Family Foto pics! Somewhere around here I have a few pics of my late hubs with that SAME mustache!!!

What were you then, about a size 5-7? I was a size 7 when I got married...oh Lord, what happened to me?!

As for deciding which blogs to "Follow", it's pretty much just a 'gut instinct' for me. I am so random! UGH!!!!

Loved doing my catch up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE reading your blog! You are so humorous!

Many hugs.........
