DJ Khaled McDonald's commercials.

I just came across these DJ Khaled McDonald's commercials and they are outstanding. So many great lines. I want more Khaled commercials. Think about it...what Khaled commercial wouldn't be entertaining?

Paperclips - These paperclips the best! They BENDY! But not TOO BENDY! BUT they're STURDY TOO! BENDY AND STURDY! And they way they hold your papers together! Aw man! I used them jumbo paperclips on MY MONEY!

Sporks - Let me tell you about SPORKS! IT'S A SPOON AND A FORK! You can EAT ANYTHING WITH THESE!

Sucrets - Tell me it wouldn't be awesome to hear DJ Khaled yell "sucrets" and "lozenges."

(Talking about a McCafe Hot Chocolate) "...and then you take a sip and that whip (whop) creams on your face and even hits your nose. You don't even get mad! You don't even wipe it off! Cause you immediately go back in for more hot chocolate."

This one has two commercials. Make sure you listen to both.

(Talking about the McDonald's Dollar Menu) "You heard me last time - that double cheeseburger, like I said, when I take a bite, I look at it and I see a lot more bites left. And it's only for a dollar. Now the chicken nuggets with that barbecue sauce. I don't know about you but I know about me - I put two or three in my mouth immediately and start eating them like crazy. And you know what I do? I go back in my pocket, I more more nuggets! And I get another double cheeseburger! You wanna know why? Because it's a recession out there and I love food and it's only for a dollar!"

I Enjoy Getting Food in the Mail

Over the past week, I got two care packages in the mail. Both contained food. 

My parents sent me apple cider donuts, Boston newspapers sports sections, chestnuts, a birthday card, New England fall foliage (seriously; they sent me leaves), a sonic toothbrush and a slinky. It's like the tastes, smells ans sights of autumn in a box. Love it.

Jessie on the other hand sent me dulce de leche from Argentina. And lots of it. If you don't know, dulce de leche translates into ohmygawdthisstuff is ludicrouslyamazing. 

Lets start with this cone shaped candy, Havanna Havannets. (Read more about it in this NY Times article on dulce de leche.) Basically it's a milk chocolate cone filled with dulce de leche. I started at the point and didn't know there was a cookie at the bottom. Let me put it like this: if I gave these out as Halloween candy, kids and parents would be googling "havanna havannets candy" before the got to the cookie. Once you eat this, you want more.

Ohhhhh Yes. Now, I'm not a huge fan of regular Oreo cookies: too much chocolate. If I eat them, I'll split them and only eat the half of the cookie that has most of the "cream" filling with a glass of milk. Well, these dulce de leche Oreos are a different story. I eat them whole and I eat them with great pleasure. I'm starting to think that dulce de leche makes everything better.

Alfajores Jorgito. Guess what this is! Dulce de leche chocolate cookie! Guess what else it is! Amazing! On another note, the kid on the package looks like he's up to something.

And a jar of dulce de leche made by Veronica. I want to eat this with bananas, pecans, crepes, and ice cream. Lucky for me I found AmigoFoods.com, which is "Your Latin food store on the internet!" and they carry lots of authentic Argentine food including 17 dulce de leche products including this Veronica jar. As if I needed another reason why I should be running more.

Dulce de leche is Nutella's sister. I have yet to have them together...be right back. Ok. Dulce de leche and Nutella is a food orgry that I recommend to everyone with a mouth.

And oh, something that's not dulce de leche but still shocking and great. Lays "lomo con cebolla caramelizada" potato chips. That's tenderloin with caramelized onion potato chips. I was excited to see what these taste like...and then I was excited to eat more. I really like them. Other flavors: parmesano ahumado con hierbas (smoked paramsean & herbs) and pechuga de pollo al limon con hierbas (lemon chicken breast with herbs). These are potato chip flavors people. I want these sold in the US.

Here are some Lays Resto commercials, done by BBDO.

Strange Porn Rap signs

First off, the Pre takes some very good pictures. Now, on to the um, pictures of interesting signs that I took today.

Let start with the "Huge Moving Sale" sign. That was something on its own before all the "Rap" and "Porn" was added. "Saw 5" and "Blacula" were also written on it (towards the top). Interesting. More on this Porn Rap sign in a bit.

"Ball's Employee Walking Horny."

"Violating Ve icle ill Be Towed At Owner penis." If you say "ill be towed" it sounds like it could be the name of a place or something.

I'm going on vacation next month.

Oh yeah? Where you going?

We're taking a cruise to the Illbetowed Islands.

Hey look! It's the Rap Porn guy. Only this time he (or she?) is a lot more Porn than Rap. Other notable words: Tupac Shakur, Mariah Carey, Twix, Jaws & Chess."

This makes me want to play chess with Tupac and eat a Twix.

Blacula vs. Jaws. Who wins? The winner fights Mariah Carey.

"The Police Officers in L.A. driving police car with License plate number 1278638."

I have no fucking idea.

These signs were all over Melrose.

you are beautiful

Ah, The North End

This picture was taken at mafia boss Gennaro Angiulo's funeral in Boston (Hanover Street).

I love old Italian people.

Red Sox - Yankees Live Running Commentary Blog Thing

8:01pm Joe Morgan, Jon Miller and Steve Philips looking up to the camera is not a good look. It's like Yao Ming is training to be a camera man in case he can't play basketball again.

8:10pm Jeter homers on the first pitch of the game. I think the benches will clear tonight.

8:17pm The Sausage Guy had to close 3 hours before first pitch tonight because he ran out of food. CC Sabathia went there for lunch.

8:28pm Matsui homers on the first pitch of the 2nd inning. I say Beckett should throw the first pitch of the 3rd into the net behind homeplate.

8:47pm Molina grounds out on the first pitch of the 3rd. Beckett is settling down.

9:09pm In 2008 CC Sabathia said he didn't want the dots in his name anymore. I think this is because he thought he could eat the Dots.

9:41pm 5-3 yanks in the bottom of the 4th. I love when the Yankees make errors.

10:09pm 7-3 yanks middle 6th. This Sox comeback is going to be great.

10:27pm "No two baseball games in a row are ever gonna be identical." Wow! Thanks Joe Morgan. I had no idea...

11:24pm blah.

Midnight Run

Another addition to my Midnight Run collection: Midnight Run Japanese program circa 1988. Yup, I really like this movie.

I have no idea what this says but I bet it's awesome.

And since I'm Italian and not Japanese, here's an Italian Midnight Run trailer.

This reminds me of when I was in Rome, Italy with my family. It was late at night and we were all hanging out...my Dad was channel surfing and he found Midnight Run dubbed in Italian. We watched the whole thing. I love my family.

Confederations Cup Live Commentary on ESPN.com

I'm sure a bunch of you were watched the USA - Brazil Confederations Cup soccer match on ESPN but you should have also been following the live commentary updates on ESPN.com. Here are some of the best:

• 4'       Julio Cesar is wearing so many layers he looks like the Michelin Man. It's not that cold, what a softie.
• 15'     Melo finds Maicon and his cross is dangerous, but when it falls to Kaka on the left side of the area, he has nothing on - in terms of men to pass to, rather than being naked.
• 32'     Brazil are beginning to bitch.
• 51'     Robinho gives away a foul and wanders off mumbling inanities to himself. He really is a snivelling little wimp.
• 60'     Very odd that Pato is still sitting on the bench. There's none so blind as those who will not see.
• 67' Amazing pass from Elano to Ales, but his touch was poor. Perhaps he'd be less cumbersome were he not dressed for a cold day on Pluto.
• 89'     Good play from Alves and Kaka down the Brazilian right, before Kaka's curler drifts well past the back post.
• 89'     Of course I mean Kaka's curling shot, rather than the rollers he puts in his hair at night.

The line at the end of the 60 minute mark comment sounds like a fortune cookie fortune. The whole thing reminds me of a Bill Simmons running diary. I wonder who was doing was doing it...he/she gets a gold star for a job well done from me.
