Macho, Macho Man

  • November 26th, 2007

Mmmm. Macho.Ross sent me the link to this image today.  There are so many things off with this ad, I don’t even know where to begin.  The name?  The model?  The flavors

I’m not entirely sure what flavor “lime erotica” is, nor “liquorice”.  And any man who smells of fruit ambrosia is suspect… unless he’s working the tropical drink bar on the Lido deck of the Love Boat.

And guess what?  It doesn’t burn!  How great is that?  Now you, too, can smell and taste like a big fruitcake without that pesky burning sensation.  The miracles of science, I tell you.

I’m seriously tempted to write to the company, just to see what happens.  Maybe I’ll end up with a real “chocolate moose”.

“Macho Flavor” = Cigarettes & Buttsweat.

I’m going to go into Starbucks and order a “mint frappe.”

They don’t give you enough information.  Important questions need to be answered before I’ll risk $5.  Questions like, “Will it have any chemical reactions with Crisco?”

@slackmistress: I knew I could count on you.  Nothing says “good morning!” like cigarettes and buttsweat.  lol.

@geeky: me, too!

@merseydotes: what exactly constitutes a “frappe” anyway?

Buttsweat. Ugh. stop!

Is that a pic of Bob Conrad of Wild, Wild, West fame? Good lord.

Please tell me this isn’t a recent ad.  Please!

It looks like a young man’s face was poorly photoshopped over an old man’s body.

The moose is killing me. LOL

Perhaps “lime erotica” is created after that man rubs a lime where the sun doesn’t shine.

that guy sorta looks like your dad.

Joelle said on 11/29/07 @ 11:50am

@moxierain: it’s funny you say that. My dad did have a similar haircut, but of course, was much better looking. wink hehe!

Dear Lord,

When I asked you to send me something sexy and yummy to play with I SURE didn’t mean that.

Thank you,

Love, Margi

P.S.  Jo?  That ad is STRAIGHT out of the wife-swappin’ key-party 70s.  Yeeech.

P.S.S. ROFL! Captcha is “big.” Indubitably.

Next Stop: Oprah! Moxie Client on Dr. Phil!

We were super excited earlier this month when our client, Patricia of MotherinLawHell.com, told us that she was going to be on Dr. Phil’s show.  Woo!  That’s amazing to start.  But when we found out her website was going to be displayed on Dr. Phil’s “big screen” we were even more excited. National television? Syndicated even? Yes, please.

Last Friday the episode aired and I made sure to record it for posterity. Full disclosure: I don’t watch Dr. Phil often (ok, ever), but I was more than happy to watch it that day! And according to Patricia, the Dr. Phil staff “LOVE the design!” and think “it’s so FUN!”.  Yay! We’re thrilled to hear that since we pride ourselves on bold and happy designs. We do fun. Come and knock on our door, Dr. Phil’s staff. Anytime! smile

Yelp Goodness

Island Style Cafe (4/5) on Yelp

I had breakfast here with Lyn P., who recommended it and really, really enjoyed it. The place is really unassuming and since I rarely venture into Tierrasanta, I'd never have known it was there…
