Just another day at the office with Bruce.
Nike Strikes Back
A while back I was smitten with one of Nike’s Leave Nothing commercials. I am not a person who purchases sportswear, plays sports, nor watches sports. But somehow they got me to pay close attention to their commercial.
They struck gold a second time with another Leave Nothing commercial entitled “Fate.” This time around the vignettes follow a boy growing up, becoming more agile, and eventually becoming a football star. It is a well coreographed visual narrative with a befitting audible narrative. The tune is a sublte remix of Ennio Morricone’s song L´Estasi Dell´Oro, or for you non Italian speakers, The Ecstasy of Gold. Metallica fans will no doubt be familiar with the tune and/or falsely claim that it is a ripoff of their work. The non-metalhead will recognize the theme from the excellent 1966 western film The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Bravo Nike. You get a pat on the butt. But I’m still not buying your gear.
Taco Zeitgeist: Important Update
Achtung! Achtung! Taco Zeitgeist fans! This is a special announcement.
I have just received confirmation that Taco Bell will be distributing free hard shell beef tacos during the MLB World Series. If any player steals a base then you are entitled to a free taco between the hours of 2 – 6pm on designated redemption days at participating locations. The details can be found at this Taco Bell website.
In order to obtain maximum free taco goodness I recommend using Google Maps to plot all Taco Bell locations in your area.
All Operation Übertaco Einsatzkommando are to report to base for additional briefing.

A Childhood Christian Melody
When I was a wee lad my parents sent me to a private Lutheran minimum security prison school. Lutherans have a long running tradition of singing during worship. Some of the songs I had to memorize still stick with me to this day. Most I just faintly remember the melodies. One of those is Jesus Loves the Little Children. The other day I had some trouble remembering the actual lyrics so I just made up my own.
Jesus loves Hot Pockets
All Hot Pockets of the world
Pepperoni, sausage, cheese
All are yummy in their sleeves
Jesus loves Hot Pockets of the world!
I believe my interpretation falls under the parody clause of Fair Use. I’d like to see if God will sue me again.

Last night at Taco Congress I forgot to snap a photo. Here is an unpublished one from an earlier visit to stand in.

Staring Into the Abyss
I was digging through some old papers and discovered old doodles. Is this a statement of two seperate facts, or a singular assertion about God’s existence? The questions outnumber the answers offered by this doodle.
